Official Cyclops/marsden Thread

A pic of Scott in a vegetable-like state isn't really a fair counterpoint.

There's no point in me posting a studly picture of Scott because it all depends on the artist syle. I found he's drawn to look Marsden-esque hot by some and very ordinary by others (Astonishing Scott). However, 90% of the time he's drawn with symmetrical features, a square jaw, broad shoulders, big muscles...etc. I don't know many average guys that have all of those physical traits. Comicbook Logan is specifically drawn to be not attractive and the other extreme is Warren who is basically the X-world version of Brad Pitt. The "ugly ducking" analogy fits Scott perfectly because it implies that he outgrew that persona. He started off as a skinny, awkward orphan who drove people away because of his inability to control his mutation. So he ended up pushing people away and had minimal self-confidence. But in time with Xavier moulding him into a leader and Jean falling in love with him, he grew into his own skin. He just doesn't strike me as the type of guy who acknowledges his looks, like Warren or even Remy, but he still turns heads.

X-fans love to hate Cyclops? Then why the public fanboy outcry when it was leaked that they were going to kill him in X3? And you mention Marsden being miscast because he's too pretty for Scott. Um, what about Jackman and Wolverine?! First of all Jackman has a foot on the guy, he's a tenth less hairy and is, well, he's handsome. Logan is supposed to be ugly...not average but the complete opposite of conventionally handsome. The general public didn't care for Marsden's Cyke because of writing (or lack thereof).

VERY GOOD POINT!

By what Mother_Askani said then Wolverine was destined to be a miscast as well, And Rogue, and Magneto.

I think to argue that is pointless. The lack of character screen time and development as contrasted by the character of Wolverine is what made him lose value to the audience. I don't think Marsden can be blamed for this if anything he was better casted for his character than Jackman was, IMO.

And im glad you recognize Remy as the attractive type since someone said in another thread that was basically a common misconception.

if u see him though, take photo of him ^^ we wanna see it

Well this quote pretty much establishes that:

Jean: "I must confess, infuriating and arrogant as Gambit can be... those eyes, that grin, the body -- it takes a girl's breath away."
Scott: "Oh really? When next the opportunity presents itself... remind me to drop a truck on him."
Xavier: "Cyclops."
Scott: "A big truck."
Xavier: "Cyclops."
Scott: "A really big truck."

 

[ntcrawler]

^^^ BWAHAHA, that's priceless. ALmost as funny as JEan suggesting that the only way to kill Wolverine is to cut his head off or drop him into a vat of acid, then gets upset when she sees Scott grinning.

I've also seen Gambit destribed as being very handsome, specifically having sculpted features similar to Scott's.

LOL, a very nice quote.

[AznBABYBANDIT]

I'm loving it! and isnt that a iceman pose? At least it looks like him shooting ice slides...

 

[Hulkster]

That Cyclops & Havok manip is awesome.

Have you guys seen the DVD artwork that the first movie used down in Brazil?

Check it out - an even foursome! No one dominating the cover! An equally shared spotlight! If only the movies were like that.

By the end of TLS 50% of them are dead. Go Ratner.

I know doesn't that suck so much.

Hey, not Ratner's fault - he was just a yes-man doing what Fox demanded, following the script as written.

 

[flavio_lebeau]

By the end of TLS 50% of them are dead. Go Ratner.

well, if you follow according, by the end of X2, 25% of them were dead. The "logical" thing to happen was to lose more 25%.

*Fears for Storm dying in X4 to grow 25% and they closing the movies forever so that Wolverine doesnt die in an eventual X5*

Oh wow! THAT is a fantastic picture! Awsome pose! They even look like they posed together instead of being randomly photoshopped into the same frame! And yes I agree about the balance! Equally represented, just like in the movie. and paired up nicely too JOTT and ROLO. Certainly beats looking at a claw!

And it does a nice job to reinforce the meaning of the title. It's "X-Men", not "X-Man" or "Wolverine"

Any way to get a high res scan of this? I'd instantly tape it over my Region 1 1.5 Box!

That was the cover of the X-MEN 1.5 Dvd here as well. I have a pic



But ours was red, not blue.

 

[ntcrawler]

Red vs Blue, eh? haha, still looks good! Thanks so much for posting it!!!

 

[WideAwake]

Yeah, it's a great cover. I have the red one on my X-Men 1.5 copy, but the blue one's great too. It looks very comicy.

Depending in which direction you're looking at it.

 

[CapBeerCino]

Lame attempt to do Phoenix Justice.

Blah, I tried watching it but it pissed me off after 10 seconds. I'm never watching that movie again (but maybe I'll listen to the commentaries cause I want to know what the hell were they thinking)

Nifty...man. Does anyone have a high res version of the blue and red one? I'd like to print it out and replace those damn claws with that. lol

 

[Bastila]

I like the Red one more.
