flavio_lebeau said:Also, Magneto had the most powerful mutant ever by his side. Why not put Phoenix flying everyone into the island? Or even acting Moses and opening the SF bay? that would have a great biblical effect to show how powerful she was. I understand Mags had to have his moment to shine, so i kinda understand the scene though. But marketing it as the best thing that ever happened, this was wrong imho.
THat would have been brilliant!!!

Someone suggested that Magneto moved the bridge for psychological purposes to scare the crap out of everyone at Worthington Labs. But you could do something similar had Jean split the ocean Moses-style. To see an army of mutants marching across the babe through the center with waters held back would have been another "holy crap!" moment too. They'd really realize they were up against Gods.
Oh and you want Magneto to shine? No problem! So those little homo sapiens send jet aircraft and helicopters after the Brotherhood army. Fire guns, missiles, rockets, drop bombs, etc. But none of it works. Because while Jean is holding back the water, Magneto is stopping all the weapons, causing helicopters to crash into each other, etc... Now that's power...
Come to think of it, you just gave me a nead idea for a rewrite! Save the bridge as a last ditch effort, have Magneto pick it up later and try to drop it on Alcatraz and the last moment to kill everyone instead. That's the point when he gets depowered and that's when Jean goes berzerk. Eureka, that's it!
