rogue and the random bandwagon of newcomers

[JeanGrey12]

i saw this a couple times. the second was with my best friend who has seen all three of the movies and a bunch of people who never saw any of the movies before. can't really understand why they wanted to come if they never watched anything that had anything to do with xmen before?? anyway of course my fav is jean grey, my friends fav is cyclops, but everyone else said they liked rogue??? at first i thought they mistaked her for kittie but they were like "no, the girl with the white stripe". wierd. i mean she hardly was in the third movie at all. she used her powers in one of the opening scenes and that was it.

also, maybe its just around here, but i have noticed so many people going to see the movie without seeing any of the others. why would you do that? i mean you already missed 2/3 of the story....

jean grey rocks

on my 4th viewing of X3, a couple came into the theatre late and the movie was at the half way point. I was like, why waste your goddamn money on a movie when you know you've missed the first half of it. They were an old couple 50-60 years old. lol. I think it was kinda stupid for them to even bother.

 

[britrogue]

Maybe they liked Rogue's tragic story?

thats so annoying. why would you even bother coming in to a movie thats half way over? even if you have seen the others? thats a waste.
that happened to me to except it was a bunch of 13 year old looking boys. it was right in the middle of pro. x's funeral. so annoying considering it was a more quiet part. they got kicked out tho. guess they were movie hopping. its like guys, "you don't do that in a group of 10 people" lol.

I think the movie was good enough to hold its own without seeing the first two, there wasn't to many thing that wouldn't of made scene, except for the whole jean coming out of the lake thing. other then that beside not knowing who some of the character are (missing the character development of the first two), I think most people would still be able to follow it, and if anything enjoy the action. my younger cousin saw it, and the lake scene was really the only thing he asked about. cause he didn't see the x2

 

[MaleRogue]

My fave is Rogue then Bobby and Jean....
Those three really rock...
I think they liked Rogue because of her beauty and her story... and it looked cool when she metaled up

OMG i know what you mean....
When i was in the theatre there were a lot of people that were really old.... I first thought I was in the wrong movie

Really weird hahaha LOL

 

[flavio_lebeau]

when i first saw the movie, lots of people were happy for Rogue...i wasnt

First I wasn't happy to...
But the end of X3 says that she will have her powers back...
She is just doing what everyone else of us would have done...

how does it say she will have the powers back? i must have missed that part of the movie.

 

[MaleRogue]

Well Magneto got his powers back... So Rogue and Mystique will get them back to some day... its called logical thinking

wow
thats what i hate about superhero movies, no one is courageous enough to kill/cure a character for more than 10 minutes...okay its good in Rogue's case but...it makes everything even more unbelievable

Well Mystique is longer cured then 10 min... and Rogue to I think... but Magneto... Nope

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

Jean better rise or there will be hell to pay

 

[flavio_lebeau]

you do know whats an hyperbole, right?

 

[MaleRogue]

uuuuuuhhhhh..... no?

To be fair we have no idea how much times had passed from when Magneto lost his power to when he moved the chess piece. It coulda been weeks or months. And as for Rogue and Mystique getting their powers back, it might happen and it might not. For the sake of an interesting story, the both of them probably will get their powers back but there is no guarrantee.

Why not???
If one get's his power back all of them should get them back... and he had 4 cure darts in him... not 1 like Mystique and Rogue...

 

[Rong]

Maybe they like Rogue so much because Anna is so hot she's incandescent.

/one man's opinion

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

naw... Jean's hotter...

Oh they must do, should they? And you're basing this on what? The writers could come up with whatever the hell they wanted and a way to explain them not getting them back. A few off the top of my head;

1) Oh, Magneto's power has came back but not Mystique or Rogue's. The reason for this is because Magneto took 4 cure darts and Mystique and Rogue only took one, and the cure was so unstable that it had to be a very particular dosage in order for it to be permanent and not eventually cancel itself out or overload the body causing the body to react to it as a disease and attack the cure, thus flushing it out of the system.

2) The cure simply doesn't work on 100% of mutants. Much like every other "cure" for anything out there, it won't work on everybody it simply isn't possible. Especially considering there are so many different strains of the mutant gene out there, infact so many of them would be almost unique considering they all have near enough different powers.
The cure simply didn't work with Magneto and his DNA rejected the cure.

There. done. simple. and there is a whole plethora of ideas thw writers could use. This is a superhero movie afterall. Nothing is going to be so simple "It happened to Magneto therefore it MUST happen to the rest." Superhero movies arent based in reality, therefore anything can happen. There are no must's.

Not that there is anything wrong with your explantion, but an even simpler solution is that Magneto is simply too powerful, his mutant class level being higher than that of Leech's, and Leech can only effect mutants of a certain class level (perhaps 3?) and below.

Yeah that is another reason I have read a million times about these boards. Don't get me wrong, it is logical, I just wanted to give some other examples to show just how many routes the writers could take if they wished.

And your explanation was surprisingly very good

If they made an X-Men 4 and used that explanation for Magneto, I'd be a totally satisfied customer I especially like the 2nd one. As it's just like one of those allergy pills or something you see advertised on TV; "May not be for everyone..." blah blah blah.

Ha ha, I can see it now.

"Azora, the little pill to cure your mutation! Side effects may include head ache, indigestion, sexual side effects, projectile vomiting, or ghonereha. Do not take Azora with alcohol, or if you may be pregnant.

Take back your life! Be yourself again, with AZORA!"

True that. The only reason for them to show that last scene with Magneto, it wasnt to let everybody know that Magneto will come back, or that he got to keep his powers, is more universal, the message is that the cure is not permanent, thats all, I hear all this mess in here about mutants in levels above 4 and the amount of darts and blah blah blah, why does it have to be so complicated, can it just be easier and happier to think that the cure is not permanent and that those important characters that got cured will come back?? wouldnt we want to see Rogue and Mistique back in action, well we are going to most likely if they make an X4, I mean, they could have used mistique in her cell as Raven (her cured human form)looking out the window of the cell and they make a close in to her eye and then it turns yellow and then BAM! credits, or Rogue walking in the gardenholding Bobby's hand and walking by the flowers and then she runs her hand through the flowers like a Happy little girl in the country side runnig through the flower fields and then as they walk by and the camera stops and as they move further, they make a close in to the flowers and you can see slight ice burnts in them and then BAM! credits, at the end it would have been the same message, all they are trying to say is that they might come back, all full powered, thats all, when I saw magneto moving the chess piece, all I thought was, if he coul do it, then all the other cured mutants most likely will, I guess a deciding factor depending on how powerful the mutant is, will be how long will it take for the cure to wear out, which for the regular never trained mutant might be a lifetime, but lets remeber Rogue trained with the X Men, and Mistique....do I really have to say it??? so lets just be happy with the fact that that cure is not permanent as they intended for us to do by putting that Magneto Scene at the end.
