Yes it was in color. The person probably didn't want to change more than just the hair color so it was easier to make the manip b&w. The so-called 'love story' of Wolverine and Storm in the Ultimate series is awful because it's insulting to Storm's character (she throws herself at Wolverine who's pretty nasty to her - "I'm not your boyfriend. I don't even like you.") The only hookup in the Ultimate series that was even worse than that one was Bobby and Rogue. Even Piotr said (after she left with Gambit), "You were dating for what, two minutes?" So true.

Now, now...calm down my Fire God. We are not going to make this a Jean Vs. Storm thing...besides, Jean's presence is hardly overwhelmingly large in this thread since she's dead.

Anyway, Logan is just one of the boyfriends Storm has courted through the years. Forge, Bishop, Kurt and I believe Cable were also suitors of the Weather Goddess. So this "laughable" on-screen pairing has precendence in the source material. If you don't like it, take it up with Chris Claremont I suppose? LMAO!!

Let's face it...in the comic Storm is hot (pun absolutely intended), as is the love interest she shares with Logan currently (in Uncanny X-Men that is). To me, it's the perfect contrast to the ever fluxing twois-like relationship of Scott, Emma and Jean. If Halle and Hugh can capture that fire on-screen it could do well for the storyline. Besides, why must the X-Kids get all the romance?

It's from the net. I did a Google Search on the subject matter. I believe it was originally sourced on a Yahoo site.

That post above you is asking, what do you mean by that?

[JP]

Oops. I must of bypassed his post. I thought you were speaking about this topic in general...

[Angry Sentinel]

No shame, everything is daisies...err I mean ROLO!

[Slim_X]

I didn't like the idea of Storm dating Logan... but reading all the things you said (Lightning) it isn't as bad as I thought. Halle and Hugh have great chemistry. I really don't know what to think anymore, if they decide to move on with ROLO and they do it nicely then I have no problems, but if it seems forced then it'll suck.

[dodo]

hope they make take this to the movie i think it will be great

[Endeavor]

Very nice Lightning.

You gave me some excellent food for thought.
The key here is that it should be well writen and done for the right reasons, such as the ones you mentioned.
My fear is that it will be done cheaply and in poor taste just to satisfy a 'money-making formula' conceived by executives instead of the actual talent behind the production.

Let's cross our collective fingers.

About the Logan/Storm relationship in the books. I remember they started a little flirting some years ago but it never went anywhere. I don't know if it was because of poor writing then or because of fan feedback but I never got enthused at the idea of them together. For me there's only one guy who's been Ororo's equal when they were in a relationship, and that is Forge... But we shall see what comes of this.

[Timstuff]

Originally I couldn't stand the idea of Logan and Ororo having a relationship in X3. But now, the concept is growing on me. As long as they find a good way to write it, I think it could be a good addition to the story.

I just hope that they aren't killing off Cyclops!

[the a1ant]

I've always wanted Wolverine/Storm together in both the films and comics, so if it happens, I'll be happy...ONLY if it isn't just some random sex scenes, like the AICN script led to believe. That's just stupid. Storm isn't like that. I hope they're seriously trying to make them be in a relationship, and then have Jean come back, which causes problems between her, Logan and Storm. It'd give a whole new reason why Storm should whoop Phoenix's butt in the skies

I dunno...it's a pairing that needs to be dealt with kind hands. If it works for the story, the character interactions, etc...good! If they're just doing it for some hot, sex scenes, then I'll lose all respect for the people @ Fox

But then again...who knows. That entire aspect of the 'six day script' might've been cut all together. I don't wanna look forward to the idea, because it could easily be missing when X3 hits theatres

The relationship between Nic Cage and Tea Leoni in "Family Man" was "well handled" in my opinion.

I've no problem with ROLO in the comics, as the groundwork has been laid down through the years. My fear is that with the utter lack of development Storm has received in the X-films, coupled with new characters to introduce and a story to tell, that there simply won't be enough time to make ROLO look like more than a cheap 'pretty people' coupling or work to make Logan look like a manwhore even if that's not the intent.

It seems ROLO is confirmed...

Uh... That article came from Wizard, and it sounded very much like a recap of everything that's already been floating around on the internet. Dang, those Wizard people are slobs when it comes to movie news.

[Wynne]

I really like Scott with Jean, and dammit, I want to see more OF Scott, for that matter.

As long as Storm gets tougher and Logan acts like himself instead of the idiot he seemed to turn into whenever Jean is around, and it grows through character development rather than just being sprung upon us out of nowhere like the whole Jean thing was in X2, I'm happy.

Wouldn't it be interesting if that Mystique scene was not just a clue to Logan's fantasies, but who he might hook up with long run during the series? Probably not, since so many hands have been and will be changed, but one wonders.

[the a1ant]

The Logan/Rogue shippers will be pi$$ed, if he ends up with Storm!


^They do make for a cute couple, if I say so myself. Also, Logan needs someone who can be more of his equal. Not only a lover, but someone he could trust to fight along-side, and know they could hold there own. Jean could've been that woman, but at the end of the day, she's tied to Scott, and even she realizes that
