All I can say is WOW do you even read the comic books because I am guessing NO....
I have roughly 5000+ comic books some Marvel some DC and I still collect and have been since long before the Xmen movie and umm WRONG Scott was horribly portrayed in Xmen sorry but my Cyclops DOES NOT LISTEN TO IN-SYNC maybe your EMO Scott does but his comic book counter part DOES NOT.
He is also the leader without question and they do a horrible job of showing it until what one minute before the end of the movie....
Rogue's inner struggles LMAO yeh again not even close if you read comics you might know this but its obvious at this point you do not and like Aveatwhateverhisname is are basing the movie off TAS and it was barley close to the comic's.
Rogue at the time when the movie came out had just recently been able to hook up with Gambit VIA a machine Joseph made which nullified her powers so again please do not post about things which you have no frelling clue See onslaught saga....
Rogue hadn't had the type of inner struggles Singer was trying to portray since her early devolpment and even then it was pretty glossed over.
Singers rogue is NOT anything like her comic book counterpart.
Famke looking like Jean is all well and good but the way they showed her was all wrong and yes it is a big deal to be a Doctor its 8+ years of ones life to get that title so you blowing it off like its nothing is BS.
While Jean may be smart she has never been portrayed with the level of intelligence of Beast who is a Doctor so yeh it was all wrong.
As for the Ratner Penn comment umm they had to work with what Singer left them and they did just as well as he did in butchering mutants that I will agree on.
I have read the comics, watched the animated series, and have been an X-Men fan since I was 7 years old son, I know exactly what I'm talking about.
I'm not saying that EVERY change they made was faithful to the comics. But to say those changes to Jean and so forth ruined the movie, is nothing more than a load of bull. No one ever said Jean was a genius, but to say she wasn't intelligent or making her into a doctor butchered her character is another bull**** lie.
Her being a telepathic she could find out things that other people only dream of finding out.
But if you want to get on Singer about Beast and so forth, then blame Fox for screwing him over in that department. I remember him saying he wanted to include Beast as an introductory character in X1, and in his blue form that we know him as in X2, and guess what son? Fox screwed him over with the budget so that he couldn't include Beast earlier on in the story.
So in actuality he had to do something and while Jean wasn't and isn't a doctor in the comics, it didn't make me pissed off or feel as though the movie was ruined over a small change.
I highly suggest you watch the deleted scenes of Cyclops. I was disappointed they deleted them from the actual movie, but it shows Cyclops in his true bad ass leader form and not taking **** from anyone.
Who's say Cyclops listened to Nsync? Just because it was in his cd compartment doesn't mean he was listening to it, because for all we know Jean maybe listening to them. But seriously, I believe Singer included that due to the fact that Nsync was huge during that year and were everywhere at the time.
