I don't understand why xDOFPx is going so hard against Storm but I stand by my statement that all any of us can do is speculate.

may I just ask, why do you believe that Anna had four-five days of focused filming but Halle did not have two weeks (or the most part of two weeks) of focused filming?
Why is the very idea that Storm could be more of a major player than Rogue so impossible to be true? As I said before, since X2 Storm has been more of a major player than Rogue, it's not like this would be out of the blue. It's not like I'm saying colossus is more of a major player than her.
But Halle has indicated that Storm is not a major player screen time wise so it's hard to discount that.
Halle herself said she was one of the first ones in and the first ones out. I don't see why Bryan would keep a pregnant woman in Montreal doing nothing when every day she is getting bigger. The appearances point more towards Halle having a couple weeks of focused filming than not.
Was this discussion not about Rogue's screentime? I feel like you are just on the Storm hate train now.
If you'd kept track of actor tweets and who was filming when and for how long it gave a hints that are more solid than wishful thinking. Which is what a lot of people are basing their posts on when they attack others who are basing it on BTS info. I've never said I know how much screen time any character has, in fact I've said the opposite. But Halle has indicated that Storm is not a major player screen time wise so it's hard to discount that.
Daniel was on set for weeks because he was filming around everyone else so that set time will tell us nothing about how big a role he has. Neither will trailer footage because he's had none so far. Which is my point. Rogue and others barely being featured doesn't indicate they're not major players, we know Kitty is one and she's not around much. It's more down to who is the most marketable and who can have more scenes included without it giving all the storyline away.
No-one has said Storm is a major player in the plot. She is a popular character, there is a difference. You are acting like you know for a fact she is. When in reality you don't know anything. We have no idea who of the future characters will get the most pivotal material. Although we can safely guess Professor X and Magneto are likely candidates.
I don't hate Storm She's one of my favorite characters. I am saying she probably isn't a major character though. Going by what Halle said that's likely the case. That's not hating, that's being realistic. I also don't think Rogue is one either and I never have. That's my point. People are jumping to conclusions based on wishful thinking and not the evidence.
“Storm probably won’t be as badass as she was going to be because we won’t be able to do any fighting or flying or things like that. She’ll be different than we originally planned her to be but I still think she’ll be an integral part of this new X-Men movie.”
Rogue thread blowing the hell up on this forum. lol. Teaser trailer just hit and fans wanna know where the hell is ROGUE!
Sorry about that, but this really seemed to turn into a Rogue vs. Storm thing. Can we all just agree that both will be in this movie, no matter for how long and see what comes from it?
Edit:
Let me just say one more thing about this debate before returning on topic (ROGUE):
Remember how she felt Storm wasn't big enough in X2? Yeah, rewrites.
I've never said that Storm is definitely a major player, my posts used terms like 'could' and 'suggest'. You on the other hand have stated like it was scripture that Storm definitely won't be a major player.
The difference between you and me is I'm speculating and you're not. You seem to know for a fact that she won't be a major player. When the evidence doesn't point in that way.
That's not what the discussion was even about.
Thanks for bringing out that quote. Storm will also have her very own character arc for the first time in an X-Men film. She mentioned that there would be a shocking revelation about her. I think we have to this point underestimated the role she might play.
Actually it was until some posters turned it into some else and started going on about how major a character Storm is because she had a clip in the trailer.

and again nothing in the teaser featuring Paquin
She's not a major player.
She's as major as Storm etc. And Storm was there. So it has to be down to spoilers.
If Rogue is barely featured in the main trailer we have our answer. Though her missing from the teaser helps confirm it already.

Not sure about an arc, but at least during the movie something important will be revealed about Storm, which to be honest has never happened before. Think about it, all we known about the Movie Storms background is: "This is Ororo Munroe, also known as Storm." Oh yeah and she controls the weather...
She shows: fier towards humans, anger and opposes the cure. But that's about it, really. Still... we should REALLY take that discussion back to the Storm thread and leave the people in here to talk about Rogue.
Don't want to be hating here, but you actually brought Storm into the discussion...
We haven't been discussing Rogue. We've been discussing Storm.
That doesn't mean she is a major player. Halle has indicated Storm doesn't have loads of screen time. It's great she's getting her own little arc but it doesn't mean it translates into tons of screen minutes.
The leaked footage would suggest Rogue has an arc but I don't think that makes her a major player either. We don't have the evidence to say either is. I think some of you are overestimating both characters roles. I'm staying realistic so that I won't be disappointed if they do only get so much screen time. So long as both use what they get well then DOFP is worthwhile. I just don't want another X3 were both were badly used. They deserve better than that. And hopefully both will be back for a sequel and then they really could be all be all we want.
Doesn't matter, you're a in ROGUE thread giving her all the glory with comments and posts. Thanks for the post contributions
Actually it wasn't. First post in this thread since the teaser of the teaser hit, was this:
Then your oddly aggressive back and forth with a few posters about Storm's significance vs. Rogue's.

No one in the last few pages has suggested Rogue has a major role in this film. Where are you getting this?
If anything, you've been hyping Rogue's absence in the teaser of the teaser as indicative of major plot points revolving around her. If the rumors are true, she's involved in a relatively minor plot point in the grand scheme of the film.
Some posters in the past have thought Rogue has a secret major role. That is what I meant with that. Now some are crazily assuming Storm is a major player because she had a clip in the teaser. She's Storm and Halle, of course she was included. She's marketable and iconic. It says nothing else at this point.
As for Rogue, I wouldn't be so quick to jump to conclusions either way. All we can be somewhat sure of is she probably only has so much screen time and she probably or likely doesn't have scenes with all the characters. The rest of her role is mere speculation or rumoured spoilers. There is loads of automatic over/underestimating of characters based on nothing in here right now. Wait and see what happens. Trailer and teasers are never a true representation of the finished product. We all know that. Kitty we can be quite sure is more pivotal than both and she wasn't in the teaser either
It only matters because you come in acting as if the thread is blowing up because everybody is wondering about Rogue, when that's not the case.
I'm happy to bump the Rogue thread's post count with relevant discussion, but your odd Rogue preening is
