Nell2ThaIzzay said:Rogue: Go pick up a comic book. Rogue was always a shy, scared girl, before her Miss Marvel powers. Even sometimes after that. In the comics, she kisses her boyfriend, puts him into a coma, and runs away. The only difference in the movies being that her boyfriend in the movies was named David, instead of Cody.
I have the issue when Rogue joins the X-Men. And guess what she's doing the whole issue? If you guesses "sassing it up", you were wrong. She spends the whole issue crying, because she's scared. Rogue in the movies is very accurate to Rogue in the comics. The sassed up Rogue from the 90's and the animated series put a difference perception in the eyes of many over the character of Rogue, and the true essence of who Rogue really is was lost in all the sass, flying, invulnerablility, and tank shot-puts.
Cyclops: Cyclops often comes off as a dick at times in the comic books. Why? Because the only person he truly opens up to is Jean, and to a lesser extent, the Professor. When it comes to the team, the X-Men, he doesn't play around, and he doesn't take ****. He takes it very seriously. Hmmm... am I noticing a similarity to the movies? WHY YES I AM! Just because we don't see Cyclops barking out stupid orders, and optic blasting Wolverine into place, doesn't mean the movie version was unfaithful. Again, it was very faithful.
Iceman: I'll give you Iceman. He wasn't nearly as playful and joking as he should have been. And I would have liked to have seen more of it. But at least in X-Men: The Last Stand, he evolves as a character a bit, going from the "average teen" in X2, to a bit more confident about himself, his powers, and his status with the X-Men, in X-Men: The Last Stand.
You got more complaints about how the movies were "unfaithful" to the comics? I got 3 words for you...
BRING IT ON!!!!
Because you're wrong.
Rogue didnt seem like a shy little girl to me when she and logan were running around in japan. she even felt the need to joke around with logan and pretend she was about to kiss him, which pissed him off. She seemed pretty sassed to me when she knocked wolvie and mariko out the way to save their lives when viper fired a gun at them, but thats just me. I havent read up on rogue before her ms marvel powers, so maybe you're right. still, that dosent change the fact that movie rogue takes alot from kitty pryde.
And as for scott....have you read the claremont comics? He dosent come off as a dick at all, and the only time he does is when he's focused on getting the job done, like in the proteus saga. Even Logan softened up to him during the claremont/byrne run. He seemed to be genuinely liked by his teammates. We dont see ANY of that in the movies. People assume that Scott was this unlikable guy to everyone except jean and charles, when that aint the case. We dont see ANY of the friendship with the x-men outside the battlefield. He's in dickmode ALL the time in the films
And I'm not wrong. like it or not, singer's films were inaccurate to details in the comics. just the way it is.
