The Official Colossus/Daniel Cudmore thread

Thanks! so we now know officially that he did prepare one, it just didn't fit the movies direction. Now maybe people will get off his case about that aspect.
 
What was the "direction," exactly? The tolerence-driven X-Men is now ethnocentrized (if that's a word) to the Northern US? Storm isn't African, Colossus isn't Russian... Heck, Rogue can't even be Southern! I don't think every character should have had an accent, but a few of them should have IMO.

The "direction" was that Singer and those that be chose not to include the accent for Colossus and it wasn't Daniel's fault ( as some have said) that it was not used in the movies.

Cant one still be Russian, Italian, German, Jewish and so on with out speaking with a distinctly ethnic accent? I am very proud of my Italian heritage and yet I don't have a accent. We all saw how the accents worked (or did not really work for that Matter) in X1. Maybe the director thought it would be simpler to just drop them for some characters. You dont need accents to have diversity I say, Colossus can still be Russian and talk about Russia with it, but trying to fit so many characters in may have strained things.

I was talking about nationality, not heritage. I, too, am a proud Italian. :word: I was born and raised in the US, though. I was just saying that it would have been nice to keep a couple accents. I'm glad they gave Pyro a northern US accent, and I don't really care about Colossus' accent. I would've liked them to try a little harder with Storm and Rogue, though. Storm's roots are an important part of her character, IMO. And Rogue, while she doesn't need to have the overt "Ah'm a lil ol' Mississippi suthun belle" thing, could have benefited from a moderate southern drawl (or whatever the MI accent is, lol. Twang or drawl?)

Oh okay my apologies then, and yes I agree with those two characters especially. But I don't really think either Paquin or Berry could deliver the needed accents, as seen in X1 they both left something to be desired. Dont shoot though ...........:bh:
 
Why don't you venture anywhere else on these boards Crimson?:D

I remember when we lived in this thread...

The answer to this question is something we are not ready, no...not capable....of understanding.
 
I hope fox still goes through with making a movie about the X-kids

The movie could be focused on Colossus, Kitty, Iceman, Rogue, Angel, Jubilee and they could bring in some new students like Havok, Polaris, Dazzler and more

Wolverine and Storm could have cameo appearances
 
Colossus should have been like better done. I dont mind not having the accent, but he should have been metal WAY more often
 
Colossus was the most pointless character in the X-Men movies and that makes me so sad...He could have been so much better
 
I don't think he was pointless, just underutilized in a cast with a lot of characters, it can be hard to give everyone a large role. The major letdown came when after the tease we got in X2, his X3 role did not live up to what a lot of us were expecting out of his role in the film.
 
He wouldnt have to have a huge story just enough to get his time to shine..like Iceman in x3
