[FRUITY]

"You're an idiot. What are you thinking, going and getting rid of the coolest mutant power ever? You're nuts, you know that? Who cares if Bobby is humping Kitty? He's not worth it. Mark my words, girl, a lovely Cajun will soon come along and both of you will live happily ever after. So, go to your room and I forbid you from setting foot out of this mansion."

 

[NocturnalMadman]

No, Showest footage mate

Yeah, and maybe you could be so kind as to not directly quote something from a scene of the film, that some people don't want spoiled...thanx

 

[_BB_]

^ you're in a spoliers forum, how can you expect not to be spoiled?

 

[NocturnalMadman]

Well, you can usually expect what to see by the name of the thread or whatever.

Going by the name of this thread, obviously I didn't expect to see that quote from Wolverine rolled into a seemingly innocent post =/

There's a link to the showest footage and a thread for it, both of which I've stayed well clear of...

I think Rogue-- the movie version, at least-- probably should get cured. There's just no good reason not to.

Here's where the "mutant cure" plotline, be it in X3 or in Whedon's comic book, kinda falls apart for me: It touches one of those areas where the theme of the X-Men doesn't really apply.

The series is usually seen as an allegory about discrimination, be it racial or anti-gay or whatever. And that's great. Except mutation as seen in the X-Men doesn't *just* make you "different," like any other minority group. In some cases-- like Rogue and the Beast-- it does horrible things to your body and ruins your life.

Of COURSE most people in their spot would want to be cured. If you developed their powers tomorrow, you'd end up wanting to be cured too, no matter how "cool" they seem in theory.

I just don't see any logical scenario under which you'd tell a normal young woman like movie-Rogue "Hey, guess what? Tomorrow we can cure you and you can live a normal life! OR-- you can continue as a pariah and life-essence vampire, living with the constant threat of doing horrible things to anybody who cares enough to touch you." And she'd pick option B. I just don't think it would happen, nor should it.

 

[Avalanche]

She won't get cured, it'd be silly and immature of her to go and run and get cured over Kitty/Bobby. Simon and Zak have both said the film really has the kids grow up and mature.

Her running off and getting cured, would be very immature and counteract this.

It's not necessarily for Bobby. It's bigger than that. Rogue is never going to be able to have the closeness she desires with anyone, her entire life. I don't think it would be immature to want some closeness at some point in her entire life.

From the title, you can tell that Rogue wants to get cured, how the hell is that not a spoiler?

 

[FieryBalrog]

Are you kidding me? You would be able to kill somebody by touching them! How isn't that awesome?

You'd also never have a proper family, or experience many human joys. It'd be awesome... for about a week. It's definitely a King Midas type of deal. It'd be awesome if she could control it, but she can't, and even then the tension involved in touching someone she loves would be immense.

 

[GNR]

go get the cure so we can do the nasty ASAP,come on,how could she not say no,she would be dying for it

I totally agree with you. Some of their abilities would be cool and wonderful to experience but Rogue's powers are truly a curse. To not be able to hug, kiss and feel that special physical connection with someone that you love could cause intense emotional pain that would only increase as the years went by. The sense of isolation would be crippling. If she chooses to keep her powers I hope they explain really well in the movie why because most of us would not want to stay that way if there was a cure.

 

[NocturnalMadman]

I hate people touching me and I frown on emotions and feelings....ugh!!

I'd LOVE Rogues mutation. Just drop people to the ground whenever they p!ss you off...yes please

 

[Karea07]

I would probably say the same thing as Wolvie did... from what we've seen so far

 

[weatherwitch]

I'd say "Suck it up, ya whiney little twerp. You've got this insane power that drains the powers from other mutants and you want to give that up for maybe 6 inches and 2 minutes? Look, Xavier's a genius. Eventually he'll find a way for a full body condom or a collar that supresses powers momentarily, so just chill." *pulls off glove and smacks leather across cheeks old school*

 

[LadyVader]

The cure has carbs.

 

[britrogue]

I wouldn't say anything to her. Her power is a curse, and I can't imagine anything worse than not being able to touch anyone. Talk about the embodiment of lonliness......

 

[Casius--J]

I'd say dont worry baby we can always use condoms and i can bare the pain wen we kiss lol.

 

[britrogue]

Sex isn't everything you guys! lol

 

[LadyVader]

Nope. it's just everything that really matters.

 

[Kira]

I have to agree with you.

 

[chaseter]

I would do whatever the Surgeon General told me to do.

 

[LEX]

Yeah. It'd be funny if Rogue says to Logan: "But I wanna hump Bobby. What's so hard to understand, hmm?"


Sex is always the topic of everyone's conversation on every single day.
