Rogue, they ruined her, or did they?

[supermarvelman]

I think that when Rogue's powers start to come back she will accidentilly absorb flight, super-strength, and limited invulnerability permanently. She might be touching somebody ( I doubt Ms. Marvel) and then her powers flare up again and she accidentilly kills that mutant in the process.

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

Well... okay I guess I can live with that.

 

[Odin's Lapdog]

rogue can still be saved, when the cure fades and angel's wings get broken in battle, they both turn to apocalypse who manipulates them both....

woohahahahahha, it's all still feasible ladies and gents, nothing is completely broken yet...

bah, apocalypse can fix her up good with all the necessary powers when she becomes a horseman, forcing/tricking her into killing various powerful mutants by over absorption...

 

[N_z0]

I think someone said it best when they said that Rogue was regressed tremendously.

My poor poor X-men heart.

 

[Mauser9910]

She's not ruined (aka Hope), but yeah... :\
It's not like if they had her planting a smoochie on Vinnie Jones and get to be super Rogue.

I have a feeling it will be traumatic like her first kiss (probably while she's being attacked and defenseless). But this time, she kills them, like you said. If Magneto got a quadruple dose of the cure and began regaining his powers, She'll probably regain them faster, especially seeing that they're both Class 4's, and that she's a young person that's still growing and developing.

I dont get why she would choose to have her powers back when she choose to take the cure.

 

[Odin's Lapdog]

by that time she's been manipulated by apocalypse and is now a horseman.

same deal with angel getting metal wings...

free will has gone out of the window...

 

[N_z0]

I don't get why everyone keeps bringing up what happened to Magneto as if he got over the cure? Did the chess piece actually move?!?

did you not watch it?

I personally think that EVERYONE will get their powers back. Lets hope that if they do make a 4 they dont screw so much stuff up!

 

[StorminNorman]

Yes, it really did.

 

[TheVileOne]

A more satisfying conclusion would've been Rogue ultimately REFUSING the cure and maybe even trying to absorb Jean's powers in effort to stop her.

Rogue taking the cure was just bad storytelling.

 

[The Kid]

Rogue vs Phoenix!

brilliant idea.

 

[Sketchee]

It does not serve the story for Rogue to get cured. These movies and comics mirror events like The Civil Rights movement of the 60's. What if white men had come out with a cure to "fix" African Americans? That would be absolutely stupid. Rogue mirrors the struggles many people today are and have gone through...gay rights, black rights, women's rights, etc...For her to cop out and take a cure to be like everyone else is stupid and retroactive of the comic's whole mission to unite all man in the 60's.

Hate to break it to you, but a lot of gay, black and female people aren't so happy about who they are. The movie shouldn't pretend that everyone is so politically correct to accept themselves. Not everyone gay person is fighting for gay rights. Not every woman is out there fighting for equality.

Rogue may have found some acceptance with the X-Men in the last two movies, but did she ever accept her powers? Especially in X2, she had trouble with her relationship with iceman that wasn't resolved. And I think this movie established that it wasn't over Iceman, but over her own feelings. It played out well for who Marie is in the movies.

 

[lordofthenerds]

Um...Question... If Rogue took the cure, wouldn't her white strands in her hair be gone? ...

No, they would still be there. Her powers didn't give her the white streak, Magneto's machine did. She obvioulsy got cured.

This doesn't mean Rogue has to be happy about who she is, but it means that she chooses the greater good over her own desires. And it would've been a great payoff to what happened to her in the last 2 movies.

Taking the cure is ridiculous because all it means is that she gave up.

 

[skruloos]

And I think this movie established that it wasn't over Iceman, but over her own feelings. It played out well for who Marie is in the movies.

Her motivation would have been more believable if we actually saw more of her longing to be "normal" other than her jealousy of Bobby and Kitty. The problem is that the movie focused so much on playing that triangle that the audience could see no other reason as to why Rogue would want to take the cure. They didn't show us any scenes to make us believe that Rogue would do it for herself and not for Bobby. They talked about it a lot, but they didn't show it. That's a big mistake in filmmaking.

 

[The Apocalypse]

It would be funny if she was kissing a guy and all of a sudden the guy is dead, or maybe a mutant and that would be how she gets her super strength and maybe flying..that would be cheesy though.

 

[The Dark Defender]

Singer and company ruined Rogue by making her useless throughout 2 films anyway, this film may not have improved upon her, but she was ruined before it started.

I hope not. Bryan singer was right. It was a little silly that Phoenix, Storm and Angel were all flying around. I'm glad there was no air battle at least and that they didn't focus too much on the flying. Storm actually flew as an offensive measure and I don't think Magneto flied this time did he? It was at least not too too much but slightly silly

 

[phantom47]

ok so i saw the movie 2 times already and both sold out, pleased crowd and all....but in the end Rogue never really says she took the cure...she just says its what she wanted....and when she touched icemans hand you could her hard breathing, but you face shot

 

[skruloos]

Singer and company ruined Rogue by making her useless throughout 2 films anyway, this film may not have improved upon her, but she was ruined before it started.

Yes. Useless. Because the entire plot of the first movie didn't revolve around her struggling for acceptance and being the crucial pawn in the villain's plan. Oh yes, and her continued struggle with physical intimacy was not explored at all in X2. That couple with Nightcrawler's sublot showcasing the pain mutants go through. Yes. Completely useless.

 

[TheVileOne]

Once again, common behavior for the X-men 3 defenders is bashing the last 2 movies to make the third one look better. This is the absolute best they can do.

 

[skruloos]

And all the ratner haters can stick their heads in the sand when it comes to commercial success of X3 or the fact that it's more fun to watch than Singer's X-men movies.

Hey that's fine. It's great that X3 has good commercial success. But it doesn't necessarily make it a better movie. Independence Day is a fun movie and it grossed a ton of money. It's one of my guilty pleasure movies that I watch when I'm looking for something fun and visceral where I can turn off my brain. It doesn't mean it's a better movie than The Godfather.
