well here are some i thought of to show people that the movies have never really mimicked the comics. if you can think of anymore post them.

this thread is also not a thread to complain in, but just to show how the first 2 movies, along with the 3rd, never was comicbook correct and many liberties were taken.

Scott was "killed" by his own love. That never happened in the comics.

Sentinels aren't government projects..but rather a hologram in the danger room

If everything were the same as the comics it woulda been pretty dull. I happen to think a lot of the changes for the movies were amazing creative ideas; such as Mystiques look.

Plus, whats the point in listing all the differences anyway? We all know they're different..

 

[BMM]

Yeah, there was a thread like this, but it was merged with the post your misgivings about X3 thread.

 

[Elijya]

let's not. These films are adaptations, not translations. They're more or less INSPIRED by the comics, since in order to 100% accurate you'd have to be translating panel for panel from X-Men #1 1963, which is a great read if you're nostalgiac and have an appreciation for comicbook roots, but really would just be incredibly LAME if spoken outloud.

 

[GNR]

Yea,let's not.

I am O.K with some of the diferences, specially when it comes to the story line, that way I dont know what is going to happen, thats what happened with X3 and a lot of fans, they had expectations with the comic in mind and it was not like the comic. the only thing I have a hard time understanding is how bad they protray the characters except for wolverine, is like Wolverine is the token x men, and he is not even one of the original x men, I mean I dont hate on him but I find it kinda wack the fact that he does have his background well establish, his adamantium bone structure and claws and his healing factor, yet Rogue had no super strenght nor flight, Jean didnt fly either (until she became the Phoenix) Cyclops looks more like a cocky young dude rather than the Straigh forward capitain of the X Men, Storm is kinda weak, so I think that they should be equal and portray all the character just like they "succesfully" did with wolverine, tell me how diferent is the wolverine from the movies to the one in the comics...the outfit??? sorry to me thats wack, everything else I am cool with.

 

[Elijya]

Raising, you do know where Rogue's superstrength and flight came from, right?

 

[chicagodave]

you cant make it exactly by the book(comics) or else each movie would be about 9 hours long, theres just not enough time to go into detail to each character and to explain each character.

thank you so much for this post. in making this thread i wanted all the "crybabies", "complainers", and " tempertantrum throwers" to be aware of just that. that they were inspired by the books, not copies. i'm really sick of going from thread to thread reading about stuff in x3 thats not like the books and that why it sucks. they were all like that. and yes the movie would have been very very lame if they were truthful to the books! i really loved your post .

she stole them form ms. marvel when she was working with mystique

The movie was never meant to mimic the comic? And which comic are you referring too? there are a few alternate realities.

 

[RaisingStorm]

you mean flight and strenght? yhea Miss Marvel's. And now that I remeber, we get to see Rogue like in the movie without Flight and superstrenght in the comics, but it was just for a little bit cause then she got Sunfire's powers and she got to fly again.

You´re right the first 2 movies, or Bryan Singer movies have the names of the characters, but nothing with comicbooks, is the third movie, Brett Ratner movie with many references, and real references with X-MEN comicbooks.

He was asking RaisingStorm

Hardly.

I agree, but still they did a hell of a job portraying Wolverine almost the same as in the comic books, why is he the only one that gets to make his fans happy. They could have had the same storylines but portraying the characters more like the comics, if they did it with wolverine, why not with the rest??

Wolverine's story is pretty basic. Easier to translate to film and because he's the most popular of the X-men. So naturally they would choose him.

If they did an X-men movie that portrayed EVERYONE's favorite characters just like the comic...the movie would have to be 8 hours long at least. :P



This is why comic films will NEVER make everyone happy. Someone always wants "their" mutant to have the most screen time or be the best represented.

 

[Elijya]

exactly

 

[Elijya]

take Rogue for example - you want her to have strength and flight?

well, she can either just have them, and you just take that as part of her mutant powers - but then you end up with fans whining about how she was supposed to get them from Ms. Marvel

OR - you can introduce Ms. Marvel, establish her as a character, show Rogue being evil and under the influence of Mystique and the rest of the brotherhood, and then have her kill Ms. Marvel when the brotherhood attacks Avengers Mansion. Except, even if you completely RUSHED all those events, that's still 30 minutes of a movie right there - and every other character is supposed to have the same depth of back story as well, before even moving on to a plot? ain't gonna happen

Then it would have been called Rogue-Men

I realize the movie universe is a whole separate entity, but they totally wiped out all of Wolverine's history...like how he meets Sabretooth and Deathstrike after joining the X-Men...and how it was hinted that he was "given" claws. But that's fairly minor I guess.
