Mystique having cat agility?

[GoldGoblin]

Why did Bryan Singer make Mystique have cat agility in the movie,she shouldn't of had any wire work for her character.She is a shapeshifter and that is it.

I don't know. But, I thought it was kinda cool anyway.

Ive always loved mystique.....My favorite xmen character I must say

 

[Mystique_Lover]

mine too, lol, surprised ?

Well, he seemed to make movie Mystique into a literal cameleon hybrid with the scales on her skin...think her power is even explained as her scales shift into whatever form she wants. In that sense, I can understand how they made her so agile in the movie.

I liked it. It made her a bit more cooler than a plain ol' shapeshifter.

 

[X-Maniac]

Because they made her a reptilian mutant, with snake-like eyes, scales, a chameleon-like ability, and the agility and strength of a reptile - as when she scuttles backwards up a drainpipe in X1 and when she slides across the floor on her scales in X2.

It's not like the change destroyed her character. It just made her even more of a bad@ss.

And it's not like she was over-the-top with her agility. Like various people have said, it was just a different interpretation to make her a little more visually interesting. Personally, I found Rebecca's Mystique to be a very interesting character, so I think it worked.

Exactly.

I didn't mind at all that they made her be a combat expert, but I didn't like how she did gravity defying moves. That bugged me.

That is one character they actually improved and made complete bad ass!

I'm glad he made Mystique so agile. Her showings were among the best in the movie.

because she is only a shapeshifter though in the comics she is good at fighting hand to hand to defend herself.

I loved what they done with Mystique in the films. Her fighting skills really topped the character off. It makes a lot of sense to me...

Sums it up.

Thats what I don't get about these forums. They completely change mystique and suddenly it's great but when the change other things people are like what about the source material blah blah blah you can't have it both ways.

What's not to get?

Some changes from the source material are deeemd good, and some aren't. The Mystique changes are generally well received. Other changes, such as the take on Phoenix, aren't so well received.

They didint completely change her. That would be giving her super speed and energy blast. That is not her character at all. Giving her some agility doesn't change much.

She also has some ability to assume the power of the creature she can transform into.

For example, she can turn into a raven and can actually fly.
