X-Men 3: The Last Stand
Hmm well when I think about it there's less I'd change than I thought. I'll keep it brief as I doubt anyone cares too much! I'm assuming I'm replacing the version that exists rather than re-making it years later? If so:
- I'd keep the casting largely the same, but with no Vinnie Jones/Juggernaut and probably no Angel. I like the character but didn't think he added anything to the movie. Would probably drop a few of Mags' lame leather-clad lackeys too like Spike-Face-Boy. I'd keep Alan Cummings' Nightcrawler from X2.
- In terms of characters/plot, I'd keep Cyclops alive of course! Possibly Xavier too. I don't have much issue with the basic premise which logically led on from X2. With Cyclops alive, Wolverine's arc wouldn't be quite so straightforward - I'd have him realise that Cyke's the only thing keeping Jean vaguely sane and 'step aside' for the greater good. As in the comics, Jean would essentially commit suicide at the end to prevent being consumed entirely.
- The X-Men line-up would therefore be Cyclops, Storm, Wolverine, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Beast, Iceman and Kitty. I'd probably have Blob replace Juggernaut so the Brotherhood would be Magneto, Mystique (with powers), Pyro and Blob.
- Alternatively, the fanboy in me would say that instead of the above, I'd have a bat***t mental space epic instead - with the X-Men getting transported to space to battle the Sh'iar Imperial Guard on the moon for Jean's life! A moustachioed Bruce Campbell would cameo as Corsair
Question time!!
Where do you see yourself and what do you see yourself doing 10 years from now?
Honestly? I have no idea. I'm quite directionless these days. Hopefully married with a creative job that makes me happy.
What is your first name?
(sobs) Reek!
Who do you feel closest to here on the Hype?
I don't post/engage in conversations often enough to be that close to anyone sadly! Probably the Marvel Legends guys - spideyboy, Spider-Jay et al, and JewHobbs/Havok83 because we seem to have similar tastes/opinions in comics.
If you were to meet any Hypester in real life, who would it be and what would you do?
Hopefuldreamer. We'd get married in a big cathedral by a priest.
Where is home for you? Where would you like home to be?
Home is London and I can't imagine 'home' being anywhere else, except maybe Berlin.
