take a stand! new posters previewed at wondercon

[TheSumOfGod]

I know that Beast's outfit isn't really pink, it's black, but that poster isn't very flattering...

It's not flattering--I agree with you. But it's clearly not "pink" and Harry's bashing of it (likening it to a Gay Parade With AIDS) is biased, homophobic and....well, nearsighted.

Has he ever replied to people talking about his weight problem?

 

[Hunter Rider]

The posters are kinda odd but i like the Wolverine and Phoenix ones

 

[Electrix]

People can interpret these how they like..

These poster reveal LOTS about what these characters will be going through in the movie. None of them are looking at the camera. Rogue, Beast and Wolverine are looking down. Angel and Jean are looking up. Storm has her eyes closed.

It looks like Angel just wants to rise up and fly, break free.

The classic Phoenix pose is amazing. The open arms draws attention to the body and face.

The loner Wolverine has a big effect. We have seen him thrash away but we havent seen him as calm. Him sitting down suggests he is tired or lonely.

Storm is leaning against a pole, like Wolverine is leaning against the cylinder. They are both lonely...and we know they hook up. I think the fog is a reference to her powers. She looks strong and powerful.

Beast is just stood there. There are soldiers towards the bottom of the poster. I think this has something to do with the cure. He isnt smiling. Its like he is being shown for all to see.

Rogue is standing on her own too feet. She doesnt look scared. She is looking down like Beast so she too may have something to do with the cure.

Overall, I like these posters. They give a powerful scence of the film. Its darker, its serious. 'Take A Stand' suggests that they will all be standing up for what they think is right. Angel is standing against his father and accepting his mutation. Jean will take a stand about how she has been treated by Xavier. Storm and Wolverine will take a stand to stop the trouble created. Beast and Rogue will take a stand and decide their own futures.

At the end of the day they are for bus shelters. People will see them after they have been shopping and something. If they saw somebody smiling and it all be happy and light it would 'just be another poster'. This will make people look, and look again. These are going to be big so they will be seen by many people. I like them

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Electrix, that quite possibly is the best post from you ever.

LOL...i like this one

 

[Pyrox]

Whoa!
Three Cheers for really cool Interpretations!

 

[Weadazoid]

I think the Wolverine pose is great...I mean damn thats basicly the same exact pose he is in when Proffesor X first propositions him to come to the X men

Only thing he needs is Cigar

 

[Chillin92]

That was a great interpertation of the photos Electrix. Very Witty of you.

 

[JP]

OMG!!

Awesomeness. I can't wait till the Jean one is on Ebay!

As many have mentioned, I love how the all look like there comic counterparts. Storms is a huge improvement.

Famke.. Jean.. Phoenix... WOW.

 

[Electrix]

Electrix, that quite possibly is the best post from you ever.

Some people have just looked at them once and had a bash at them. They obviously put those actors in those positions for a reason, otherwise they would just be all smiling. People have to look at things closely and think about things before they judge them.

Finally, someone with common (and artistic) sense. I bow to you, Electrix.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

Interesting take on the posters Electrix.

Since the core 4 has been allegedly broken up (with Jean "dead" and Scott AWOL) it makes sense that the two remaining members (Storm and Logan) would be "lonely" or the last two "Mohicans" standing.

Good interpretation.

 

[Kmack]

I get that. And I still think they look like something out of Rent or Batman and Robin's heroes and villain posters from 1997.



Kind of like Catwoman.

You should be a critic...no, you really should

 

[Jennifer Walters]

I want Storm, Jean and Rogue in my room right now.


And by that I mean the posters, and Famke, and Halle and Anna. Haha.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

I'd also like to point out that Angel's left leg is bent at the knee. Someone stated his feet were in a "standing" formation, but he is indeed flying in that photo--even with the wings retracted.

Like he's gliding in a way.

 

[Retroman]

Yes good post Electix.

I don't get why Beast has pinkish tint to his suit. Haters i right ot bash that. The Wolverine pose isn't really my kettle of fish and Storm is good but it could have been so much better in my opnion. The rest are just awesome.

 

[Hunter Rider]

He is

Famke.. Jean.. Phoenix... WOW.

You planning to rob a bank? Cause it aint going to be cheap.

 

[JP]

Nice post Electrix. Only thing is that Halle is the only one looking directly at the camera. Her eyes are open.

[ts16]

Famke really does look stunning in that poster. Her Phoenix costume looks so great! Which is a releif since I had some doubts when I first saw the costume.
