Hulkster said:HELL NO, I don't want them to write anymore X-men Movies because they only care about their ****ing Wolverine.
sounds reasonableKurosawa said:Hell no. I don't want them to write anything that I care about.
wobbly said:Based on what we know atm I'd have to vote NO: Any writers that can kill off a major character from the books, in-spite of fan protests, removing said character from a storyline they were vital to in the books, then compound that error by contriving to have the films two strong guys* avoid fighting each other? Nope. These guys simply don't deserve another shot at the franchise (imho).
However...none of this means the film itself will be awful and I'm sure a lot of fans here will love it regardless, as will the general cinema audience if the film is indeed good. But for me when the writers take too much of a liberty from the source, or blatantly miss an opportunity for what should be a no-brainer match-up fans are dying to see, then I don't think they should work on the characters ever again.
*Nearly all the reports from the press screenings indicate there is no Juggernaut colossus fight. There is one report says they do but that so far in uncorrobarated.
Until we know exactly what Kinberg & Penn were told regarding Cyclops role then we only have them, the writers of the piece, to hold responsible for his death.X-Maniac said:Well.... they may have written the deaths, but they did have specific instructions on characters. They are not all-powerful. Forces bigger than the writers were at work here! Simon says they did the best they could with what was available to them, and I believe him. Why would they deliberately do something to anger fans? Would the writers be rubbing their hands in glee at upsetting Cyclops fans? I doubt it. As soon as Singer left and then Marsden joined him, Cyclops' fate was sealed. Even when Singer was with Fox, Cyclops got marginalised in X2, and Simon Kinberg had nothing to do with that. Don't be so quick to blame writers.
Seriously. It's time to let this go.
Agreed, it doesn't sound badly written at all, it could have been ALOT worse.xwolverine2 said:unless they can find better ...yes
FieryBalrog said:Its not just the fact that they killed of Cyclops and replaced with Wolverine. That may or may not have been strict orders from Darth Rothman. But the dialogue is mediocre and in many places cheesy. Nothing of the subtle coolness of X1 and X2 which were mostly written by Singer's team.
"Prove it."
"You're a dick."
"Ok!"

Claremont didn't start sucking until his "return" to the comics. Before then, he wrote literally 15 years not just good comics, but ****ing fantastic comics that not only were solely responsible for X-Men's current popularity, but actually saved X-Men from the comic graveyard which is cancellation. So Claremont is far from "teh suck".Endeavor said:Amen to that! Claremont is teh suck!
