Cure Weapon

[Mr. Sinister05]

You'd think that the cure weapon would've been used on dangerous mutants such as Mystique, Juggernaut, and Multiple Man while they were in custody but for some reason it wasn't.

Some say the writers aren't to blame for some of the messups in X-3 but plotholes like these are inexcusable when you consider how much time and money goes into making a film such as this.

I dont think they wanted to, only as a precaussions. As Storm and Prof. X were disccussing things were a little better for mutants with a president who understands them and a mutant in the cabinet! To show good faith with the cute they weren't going to try to force it on anyone who didnt volunteer. But to keep certain ones in check have "cure weapons". Also arrogance only kept mystique and juggs locked up! Hell the government knew what mystique was capble of!

Why not use the dealth penalty for everyone who would have served any kind of jail time? It's unethical and it borders on immoral. Only until it was nessasary did they use them as a weapon.

Did you not hear the convo between Hank and the Pres?

Or they just didn't give a crap. How can talented writers who have a nice concept in mind and have everything written not see how idiotic this was?

That's my point. The government knew what Mystique was capable of so why wouldn't they use it on her?

The president was sympathetic towards mutants (as was Mr. Worthington) but how's that exactly correlate to not using the cure weapon on powerful mutants that pose a significant threat?
Obviously this wouldn't be killing them so what gives?

Again, it borders immoral and unethical lines. Why not cure gay people? It doesn't kill them... It's a slippery slope. Curing mutants against their will is not ethical. And besides... If you cure a mutant against their will, there will be an uprising.

There are many powerful mutants ALL over the world, no one wants a war.

Also, Mr. Worthington said something ( I believe) to the effect of mutants being misguided creatures for having their "disease." Who is he to judge?

 

[Anthony05]

People this IS the government. Even though it is just a film they pull some crazy *****, I wouldn't put it past them.

 

[Robin91939]

If they just cured the mutants, against their will, that would have automatically started the war. The darts were with them to use to threaten their prisoners.

The mutants were supposedly in captivity. Sure they are dangerous, but without the intervention of magneto, they would (maybe) not have escaped. The government was not about to start using the cure on unwilling sources, especially given the drama associated with the cure even existing in the first place.
Using the cure on an unwilling participant was probably not even legal unless deemed so by self defense, and having a government official use it in such a way would have insighted riots rather than protests, and the government really did not even know what the extent of many mutants powers were.
Remember how Magneto alluded to using that gun as proof that the government would use the cure as a weapon. Apparantly, just the existance of the gun was enough to draw some mutants into a fight in which they would likely die.

[StorminNorman]

Why didnt American troops kill Saddam as soon as they found him? They already had them detained, there was no need to go to those extremes yet. Plus if news of them using it as a weapon leaked to the public, it would serve to only bolster Magnito's cause and hurt any chances of peace.

 

[Kirby&Ditko]

Wasn't it a bit hypocritical of Magneto saying he knew the humans would draw first blood after he casually killed many of them while destroying the escort vehicles in the prison convoy. The cure was put into a weapon for just such an emergency. The gov. wanted to make the cure an option for those who chose to use it, it was Magneto who decided to take that choice away from his brothers.

You think Magneto was looking to be fair and balanced in that situation? He saw that he had an issue he could use to help his cause and he used it.

 

[MoreCowbell]

I also hated that fact Mags said if any mutant opposed hum they would turn the "poison" against them... What?

 

[Kirby&Ditko]

No, I don't think he was being fair and balanced. He was manipulating the situation to serve his ends; like so many leaders who think the masses are to stupid to decide for themselves.

Magneto in this movie was pretty diabolical. It was like at least half his fault that xavier was iced by jean.

There was no way he was being fair and balanced. He thought he knew that the humans would try to force the cure upon mutants, and he had previous beliefs about mutant superiority, so he acted accordingly.

By the way, he actually was right about the humans. They totally had a bunch of plastic, cure wielding guns ready to go for the army. The government may not have been planning to force the cure on mutants, but they were sure well-prepared just in case.

That's all besides the point though. His attacks were responsible for what went on and the humans likely would not have forced the cure on any mutants that didn't want it simply to avoid political turmoil.

 

[The Guard]

The leadership in X3 was shown to be ethical unless provoked. They weren't going to force the cure upon mutants if they didn't absolutely have to. They had cure weapons for an obvious reason, out of fear. What could they do against foes like Magneto and his Brotherhood, or rioting mutants in general?
