Cool as Ice: The Shawn Ashmore/Iceman Thread

I've been watching the opening battle over and over again and I just love how Iceman kinda got his own entrance!

I know! The way he just hops on to his ice slide like he's been doing it since he was born. And Shawn looks so hot with facial hair.

I like the slow-mo effect when Bobby and Kitty catch a glimpse of each other. Intense!

I much prefer Bobby and Rogue, but I do agree that bit was quite profound.

It was like everybody are preparing to fight with the Sentinels and then BOOM, Iceman who is being portrayed by a returning cast member is suddenly in the crowd too! Then the first power display that he did is the ice slide, then after a few seconds, the ice form! I just felt like when it comes to the mutants in the future, the mutants that we already saw before were given more importance.

Oh dear, I would've fainted if that happened.

Rogue could have taken Bishop's place like in the beginning and it would be her and Shadowcat running away from the Sentinels. Then when Bobby comes out of the portal, he would look at them both.

I actually kinda like this idea. But i guess they had to include Bishop somewhere in the story to refer back to tje comics..

OMG imagining this just gave me the chills.

I took my husband, who is a casual viewer as best, to see DOFP. He liked Iceman (referred to as "that kid" because he can't remember names) and mentioned that it's good to see him still in the films and that his acting felt very natural. I'm pleased to see that Iceman, with his limited screen time, made an impression on a largely indifferent audience member.

Ive always known Iceman had the potential to be a fan favourite, but for some reason the creative team doesnt make him shine the way he could to make a big impact in the general audience

Shawn Ashmore is a good actor! Remember he won a Mtv movie award for his performance in X2. During my last viewing for dofp, I heard a couple of reactions.

Bishop could still be part ofthe film even if Rogue gets his time traveler role. He could be running along with them and guard them from the Sentinels. With that, no need to squeeze in a rescue mission.
