Official Cyclops/marsden Thread

will u go and threaten berry?

IF Hugh won't come back(and I find this hard to believe, Wolverine is the only thing keeping him him(as an actor) famous) they could just get Dougray Scott back. Bryan Singer cast him originally above Hugh, why was that? Was he better? Wasn't like Dougray Scott was anymore famous(more experienced though) than Hugh, so there had to be a specific reason why. Wolverine as a character is more than just one actor who portrayed him. He has enough personality to be recast and accepted. Especially if they bring up the fact Dougray was originally cast as Wolverine, and filming conflict caused him to have to pull out.

 

[aaron]

i dunno, not sure about continuinity like that on such a major character

 

[tamron]

James Marsden is awesome as Cyclops. He hasn't had a lot to do in the franchise thus far, but two moments, one from each film, that really stand out to me that he can nail the character. I X1, it's the scene in Statue of Liberty, how he organizes the team, and then he says "I'm taking the shot." He imbued that line with the quiet, steely confidence that I'd expect from Cyclops.

And in X2, it was obviously his grieving over Jean, very well played, I thought. He deserves to do a little more in what seems to be the franchise's finale.

 

[aaron]

yeah, a very good actor being wasted

 

[newwaveboy87]

i beg to differ on if you recast Wolverine everyone will accept it. i don't think i would. that's my problem with the original Batman franchise. after seeing Keaton twice, i then had to see Kilmer, it was very odd. and then Clooney, yet no one else was recast, well except for Harvey Dent.

recasting is bad. just say no.

and to answer you kol, i'd make Halle an offer she couldn't refuse...*coughholdsherOscaroveravatofacidcough*

WHAT!?

 

[aaron]

lol

i loved keaton as batman, i didnt mind kilmer either

 

[newwaveboy87]

Kilmer had an annoying lisp. man oh man..."tell me doctor do you enjoy the ssssirkus?" what the freak was that?? honestly man! besides he wasn't as brooding to me. i enjoyed him more then Clooney.

Keaton and Bale are the man(s) though.

 

[aaron]

yeah they sure are.

but ive got a bias to kilmer cos hes like one of my fav actors for some reason

 

[aaron]

have u seen the salton sea with kilmer, peter sarsgaard and vincent d'onofrio. some good s**t

 

[newwaveboy87]

i saw about two seconds tonight, i knew it'd be a movie i'd have to start from the beginning. some scene with D'onofrio laughing, and then it cut to Rose McGowan pouting. i already knew i missed something.

i have a love for Keaton, he's Betelgeuse man. BETELGEUSE! (no i didn't mis-spell that, watch the movie that's how it's really spelled, the movie title is spelled Beetlejuice cause that's how you say it)

 

[aaron]

lol i already knew that, keaton for jigsaw in punisher 2, hes the only choice, or maybe willem dafoe. lol.

and d'onofrio, he scare me s***less in the salton sea, as that drug dealer. he stole the show.

 

[JP]

I laughed at the part were the man pronounces it like that.

 

[aaron]

lol yeah me too

 

[newwaveboy87]

hahaha that old man is in Pee-Wee explaining that Large Marge was dead. that man cameo's crack me up.

D'onofrio scares me ****less anyway. come on he was the bad guy in The Cell. and he was so freaky in that.

back on topic: here's hoping Marsden will be able to do something as Cyclops. give the character a chance to shine.

 

[aaron]

yeah, id say hes gotta be involved in the final solution scene of the phoenix, possibly and itd make sense that hed be the one to stop her

 

[CConn]

Kilmer had an annoying lisp. man oh man..."tell me doctor do you enjoy the ssssirkus?" what the freak was that?? honestly man! besides he wasn't as brooding to me. i enjoyed him more then Clooney.

Keaton and Bale are the man(s) though.

Bale: *lisps*



Now on topic...

I couldn't agree more. I've always been disappointed in the lack of screen time for Cyke in the movies, but those two instances were just phenomenal.

 

[Ions]

Wow these threads sure are getting offtopic, nice work Kol. [Ions marvels at the lack of mod presence/control]
So do we think Cyclops will sport a new visor in X-3? Even small and less cumbersome? [Ions tries to get the discussion back to Cyclops]

 

[Octoberist]

Haha. Lotta Cyclops Maniaics! There's still hope!! This thread is a sucess! That marks the first time I've actually attempted to start a thread and suceed!

 

[aaron]

what do u guys think of marsden in x2 when theyre in the white house at the end and prof x says that 'loved ones have been lost' or something and u see marsden's face trembling

i thought that was amazing actor

it made me tingle. it was one of those moments

 

[The Hellrider]

Cyke has been my favorite X-Man since like forever, and I feel like Marsden nailed him. Wolverine is a cool character and all, and I can see why the movies focus so much on him due to his popularity, but still....

...as a Cyclops fan, I feel kinda cheated.

 

[aaron]

in x2 at the end, when theyre in the jet and jeans just gone, everyones sad and they choose to focus on wolverine only, and you can only see the back of cyclops as he leans against wolverine.

that is cheating cyclops so much, he was the one closest to her, so the focus should have been on him.

do you guys agree?

 

[TNC9852002]

I bet Cyclops' visor in X3 will be a bit more reflective and shiny!..

-TNC

 

[paec_djinn]

that is cheating cyclops so much, he was the one closest to her, so the focus should have been on him.

Yeah, and they even gave Jean to Wolverine for awhile and besides I hated how he got pwn3d easily by Deathstrike. At least he could have put up a fight with her. Come to think of it, if the beginning part with Wolverine in Alkali Lake was shortened, it probably wouldn't have made any difference and at least given Scott a chance. Singer didn't even give him any

 

[aaron]

yeah, i dunno about a grudge with singer or anything, cos he gave him quite a big part in superman returns so i think it was mainly the fact they gave wolverine more screen time
