Or juggernaut being reduced to nothing by running into the wall, when his powers are magical, and even if they werent.... they still dont take you out?

Juggernaut powers are not magical in the movis, he is a mutant like everyone else, thas why leech power affects him right in the moment he is about to hit him and kitty.

It would have been too complicated to explain his powers if they didn't make him a mutant. Although, I'm more curious to know at what point in his life did he discover that he was unstoppable (as a mutant).
 
Hmmm you guys got me with the title of this thread, I thought you were referring to continuity or cohesion between the movies in the trilogy...
 
where was the barman from X1?? I'm sure it was said that him and Logan would have an awkward scene in the film..
 
Jeez... A lot of nitpicking here...

I'm gonna focus and give my 2 cents on 3 scenes you guys have talked about:

1- Woverine's T-shirt - Indeed an error of continuity

2- GGB day/night - It looked bad, I agree... But from the artistic (F/X) point of view it makes sense that the GGB scene is during daylight to fully show the F/X... And it also makes sense the final battle be at night time since it involves flames, explosions, thunders, etc... I agree the transition should have been smoother.

3- Xavier's voice - According to rumors, the body with no mind is Xavier's twin brother... If they go on with an X4, they can create a backstory that Xavier had a twin brother that was born with no mind due to the mutation... Something like Xavier having all that mind power, but the twin none... Xavier always felt bad and blamed himself for having all that power while his twin brother was born without conciousness (spl?)... So that's why he kept it a secret and kept taking care of his brother all these years.
In the comics, Xavier got cloned... the version in the movies has him having a twin brother, not a bad idea.
That would explain why he has the same voice and will keep his powers.

Well, it is PG-13 afterall...we'll have to rely on the comics and video games for blood
 
I am not sure

but while I do blame the writer's for these mistakes and confuse the hell of fans and normal audiences. But for you guys to ask these questions, I would assume you guys do a little bit more research on the film (not the comics)
Because we are crazy fans, but before I ask questions, i try to find it on the net, reading all the interviews and making of, and especially the Q&A for the writers. After I know that, that makes alot of things in sense and of course the ones that dont makes sense the writers and director and producers and company heads just took stupid liberties on the film.
In that case, there is nothing we can do but nitpick.
So, with a little reading and logic and understand. The answers are pretty easy to the Errors.

I dont know it all, but to some questions that duped many people like mistake such as WHY Wolvie didnt demolecularized by Phoenix
Was DUE the fact (they rushed this part) SHE has SOME LOVE left for LOGAN.

Many people missed this. Becasue writers didnt make it clear. remember Pheonix was in a stupid middle ground as in which side she took.
In fact, she wasnt Brotherhood nor X-Men. Because in the film she didnt care for crap. That was why she was standing there the WHOLE time.

She was just bad ass, as in, "No one can make me do anything" Xavier did, and he died. Magneto almost died (from the cure pointing at him by DP)
But Magneto just said, I dont want to control you. You just do whatever you want. Because he know, whatever she did would destroy everything anyways
Therefore, She is a weapon. Not as in she works for the brotherhood. She just hangs around, until she gets pissed off. That is why, Magneto brought her, not as in use her, like he used Juggernaut. But just to hang around. Because he know humans will do stupid stuff and piss her off. So, he has last resort insurance on his side.

So, DP really dont want to do ****. Even in the end, she didnt want to do ****, but just stand around and wonder, who the hell she was, what the hell should she do. Because she was struggling with dual personalities.

Like Magneto predicted it. the humans do stupid shi--tz. Like shooting her with the cure, Boy, that pissed her off, so the evil side of her (like the writers and most people said, Akira uncontrollable style) She destroy everything. She isnt pointing at X-men not anyone, she is just PMSing.

So, Wolvie said to Storm, I am the only one can kill her. Why? Because he knows Jean (the good side) still have some feelings for him, therefore getting him closer. So even putting Leech or Ice man freeze her, wont work, and powers used, will piss her off, resulting her killing everyone miles away.

So Wolvie also means that while he can get a little close, his healing powers can withstand a little bit to her powers. She is not aiming to kill Wolvie, like Akira, DP powers are like a energy surrounding her. Anyone gets close will die, but Wolvie can stand a little bits of it, that is why he heals a bit, gets demolecualrize a bit. Then, he reaches her, evil Jean said You are with THEM? or die for THEM? (Them has in humans, dumb craps who just shot at her) He said, just like Wolvie in character, NOPE (he could care less about the humans, when it comes to punany) I will die FOR YOU.

BOOM, that softens her up (only for a second, just like in X-Mansion room scene) She said, help me (kill me now, or it will be too late) that is when Wolvie had to kill her.

You see, because the emotions played out tooooo damn fast, not alot of people get this. That was that the director and writers wants to tell to audiences, although not very successfully, but that is what it is.

as for other nitpicks on powers (I have many too)

Please realize that writers and director took MANY liberties. So go fry them for it. But we have to understand it

Mystique. little girl problem. Can you blame ratner? Singer made in X1 when Mystique turned into Wolvie, she got Claws and those Claws got chopped off.
T1000, whatever crap. That is her film powers, into anything without too many obvious size and mass rules. She was the statue of liberty model too in X1. If she can form objects then, compressing her mass into a little girl, shouldnt be a problem.


Juggernaut. I hate this too. But writers said, no more fantasical stuff. Therefore he is a normal mutant. He is strong, but not super strong, because the rules they gave him with No Momentum, no juggernaut. Total BS I know, but that is the film version of him.

The helmet is not for blocking powers out, but like he said, protects his pretty face. MEANS literaly, that if no helmets and he charges, he will probably kill himself. BS, i know, but that is what it is. So leech, does depower him, until he knock himself out. Of course, he is alright. Becuase once Leech left with Kitty, he would have regain his powers and wake up (unless he is dead by DP, i doubt it, but plot holes, yes)

Colossus. I just hate his metal hair. T-1000 the buff version. Sucky. But I think someone made the decision, with the fact that, the metal can protect him from fires and debris coming at him. So his hair will probably burn (whoever thought of this is pretty dumb) so HE is ALL metal.
They should of show him metal up and take cure shots, because the needle cant penetrate. That would make him invincible to the cure. BUT, nope.
he just knock people around. A waste? yes.

Rogue. I think the writers just want to end her story where Singer started.
She struggled, and the first movie was playing on that (she was the McGuffin for X1) so to finish the trilogy story wise, since Rogue film version, she cant do anything like flying and stuff. So they have to make her take the cure for the story and emotion to conclude.

For iceman and pyro. I think they were waste just for the sake of wasting. So nitpick them, but there is nothing anyone can do.
I am pretty sure the studio heads, just want Fire vs Ice scene for the hell of it. So, errors, just throw them OUT.

Ratner said, he took power and blend powers, and switch powers and names on his own liberty. So while he did slap comic fans in the face for doing that. But he did it. Thats the film we saw. So, not really oh, who is that mutant, wait, is he that that that? in the comic. Ratner just messed around with minor mutants (atleast to the general public) so that is that
 
As for the daylight into Night scene. SIMPLY as this.

Time skip. Ratner loves to do that. Why? Because is probalby a waste of time t wait. So lets expand. It was dawn, sun down, lets pretent to be 5pm, 6pm or even 7pm. The bridge moved. And it landed.

like people said, that landing sucks becasue most mutants standing on there would have died or fell down. BUT remember the magic of MOVIES!!!

so, Ratner espect us to just skip about 1 hours. after the landing. You know, the regroup (if mutants fell down or whatever)
Because supposely, they are all over the bridge, and even some havent crossed the bridge, until Magneto drop it to connect the main land to Alcatraz.

So, after the landing, assume that there is an hour, for the rest of the mutants brotherhood to walk from the main land or the end of the bridge to where magneto is, the Alcatraz end of the bridge.

Therefore it is NIGHT, 7-8pm. Yep, that is night night night.

so BY editing, day turned into night. But it is not by magic. Just rushed editing. And also Ratner DONT want to just show Mutants walking on the bridge while day turn into night. He wants to go into Action IMMEDIATLY
 
I do belive some of you said here on Pheonix's hair.

While in real life, it is plot hole

But yes, her pheonix power grew those hair, set those hair nicely, and provided her with nice red clothes that dont seem to be sold anywhere else on the planet. Lets say she keep those in her closet at her house.
Still, normally, she will wear that outside on a date night? I dont think so

Pretty funny tho
 
also, plot hole. I got to give some nitpicking too!!

Magneto. Xavier is DEAD. Prof. X is the only one on earth with powers that can control minds. other than dude from X2.

But Magneto said, helmet is for protect himself from Xavier in both X1 and X2.

Xavier is DEAD. But Magneto still wears Helmet. Just for "it looks good" reasons??? hmmmmm
 
angel's speed from NY to SF. Movie magic. But we can say that I think he snuck onto the X-Jet by trailing it first. Because when X-men left, you saw him looking at them with eyes like, I must follow you guys NOW to where my papa is.

I am sure this scene should of been filmed, but Ratner, he loves to skip to the action as quicky as possible.
 
Why did Logan's hair never burn away when he was approaching Phoenix? It stayed perfect.

Why the hell would Leech come to Xavier's school when all he could do was cancel out people's powers? He's going to have a great time there. This is not so much a plot hole as it is a moment of stupidity on their part.

Magneto should've been able to stop their needles.

Magneto somehow moved across the entire country in a bout a day, carrying with him a broken out fugitive, nevermind himself.

The X-Men somehow manage to get Xavier's chair back to the mansion even though they were at the scene of a huge, huge, huge crime scene. No one asked questions...

In X1 and X2, one bolt of lightining took out Toad b/c in reality, that's what would happen. In X3, Storm's whipping up Lightining here and there and people aren't dying.

At the end, suddenly 30 mutants have toad-like super-hopping powers.

yes... xavier may be the only one that can 'control' people...

but jean can read his thoughts... and so can many others... with jean as dark as she was, i wouldnt want her reading my thoughts.... even physlocke should be able to read his thoughts

HERES a plothole!
forgot her name, but that lady who can detect mutants - she shouldnt have been able to know what magneto was capable of... but she said he controls magnetsm, and knows that him and pyro are above class 3 mutants..
or you can just argue that the helmet only stops xavier, jason, and jean.

Its a sudden shift right after mags lands after dropping the bridge. from what I saw, it took seconds...

no plothole at all, CALISTO can detect other mutants powers, not reads minds
 
I thought it was funny that Cyclops died first, but Xavier got the funeral first.
 
"Why did Logan's hair never burn away when he was approaching Phoenix? It stayed perfect."

you are right. Movie Magic man. Superman's hair was perfect no matter what happen. So is Steven Seagal.

"Why the hell would Leech come to Xavier's school when all he could do was cancel out people's powers? He's going to have a great time there. This is not so much a plot hole as it is a moment of stupidity on their part."

he does, but only when is close to him. like 2-3 feet yo. Be alright if you are 4 feet away, like Beast showned. Everyone at X-school is nice. Power is not the issue here.


"Magneto should've been able to stop their needles."
true, plot hole. But I am sure, you can make up stuff like no-nmetal needles like plastic weapons.

"Magneto somehow moved across the entire country in a bout a day, carrying with him a broken out fugitive, nevermind himself."
I think he may have a plane. But no show becasue no budget. I mean, he has many lairs in caves and camps. He have planes and car like Xavier. He is not a bum. Very rich terrorist. Just that it wasnt showned.



"The X-Men somehow manage to get Xavier's chair back to the mansion even though they were at the scene of a huge, huge, huge crime scene. No one asked questions..."
they fled, and you know it. No police crap X-men likes. Yes they took the chair and cleaned it up in respect for the professor.

"In X1 and X2, one bolt of lightining took out Toad b/c in reality, that's what would happen. In X3, Storm's whipping up Lightining here and there and people aren't dying."

X1, tight budget. Even magneto was weaker. Ratner was TAS in this movie and he got that.

At the end, suddenly 30 mutants have toad-like super-hopping powers.
Yes, since they are crappy pawns, class 1 mutants. They can probably just jump and climb walls.

That is why they are totally expendable
 
When Mystique was cured, how come her hair turned from orange to black? And lost its gelled back look? I guess thats part of her mutant power
 
"I thought it was funny that Cyclops died first, but Xavier got the funeral first."

True. While Jean never had a tomb is a huge mistake. I think NO one knew Scott was dead until Wolvie said HE THINK JEAN KILLED HIM. Remember Cyke been secluded. He doesnt want to talk to people, shut himself in his room. Go whereever he wants. People never noticed.

Even, Wolvie and Storm (after finding Scott's glasses) they are not sure where he was. Or he had died.

X was dead for sure. so he got a funeral. Until the end, when Jean died, and they are sure Scott was DEFINATLY demolecularize. He got his Tomb with Jean.
