The Official Colossus/Daniel Cudmore thread

[The Original Bamfer]

Personally, saying taht Colossus doesn't look organic enough isn't so true... If you notice the contours of his faces, it mimics the muscular build of a face. Just like his body did in X2. They just expanded upon his look from X2, as it did not show much of his face. They just detailed it more. Also, there is a great deal of lighting, which makes it seem fake. BUT it may not be the finished product, and that could be why he wasn't easily shown on the official site. This may explain the lack of metal eyes as well as its so-called fake-look.

nice post i agree... still as colossus matures shouldnt his BIO-metallic skin? just a though

 

[batfan1028]

Did anyone see the new pic of collosus on the official website

 

[Nathan]

Ah, Colossus and Mystique are finally official. Mystique has now her yellow eyes, but Colossus isn't metalled up anymore.

I'm still in awe that some people think he doesn't look organic enough. I'm actually amazed at how good they actually made him look! I mean this is straight from the comics, people! Albeit without the steel eyes with no pupils.

I was completely impressed with the pic of Colossus...the steel face, the contours, the hair, everything....looks like how Colossus should be. Perhaps the eyes are what people are getting thrown off by. Granted, there was more of an "organic" look in X2, what with the muscle fibers being shown and all, but this pic just screams STEEL.

Judging by the looks, Daniel is wearing make-up and facial prosthetics, the slight indentations of the eyes may vaguely give his face a mask-like quality, but overall I think it looks dead-on great.

 

[Star]

I thought it was mostly/all computer animated, not prosthetics... but thats just me...

 

[Crimson Warrior]

I dont know enough about cgi or prosthetics to make a judgement.....

 

[HerosOnFilm]

It's a bit hard to tell by the pic if it's all computer-generated or what. Perhaps he has the green make up on, which will allow the CG-guys to apply the metal look digitally. I thought I had heard it was mostly make up, but that's speculation at this point.

 

[Dr.Dude]

Really, looking at the slight muscle fibers on his forehead and especially his cheek.... he looks about the same as in X-Men 2 to me, which is definitely a good thing. The only really noticeable difference is that his hair now steels up to, and that since the lightsource is different he looks less blue.


BTW, heres the new pic Nathan mentioned---

 

[Halcohol]

He looks like Adam Baldwin from Firefly... they should've released the metallic version.

I don't know if anyone saw my question, but is Colossus vulnerable to Magneto when he's in his steel form?

 

[Star]

i don't THINK so... but i can't remember why?

 

[Supreme Power]

Does anyone know yet if he's going to be using any hint of a russian accent in this one. Or are they probably just going to stick to what they did last time.

And that's a bad thing? Adam Baldwin is hot. So too is Daniel. Nummy!

 

[Halcohol]

^ Not saying that's a bad thing, I'm just saying.

The metallic version looked pretty cool, I bet they're gonna hold onto it until they update the site with bios and stuff.

 

[Yve]

Got ya.

I hope they hold out on releasing the metallic version until they have it exactly the way it'll appear on film. I mean, I appreciate that they released the promos early for us, but I hate the confusion it's causing regarding the unfinished looks of some of the characters.

 

[THE MR. TERRIFIC]

I think he can pull it off. He's got the perfect look so people will already accept him, all he has to do is a half way descent acting job and he will sell it completely.

 

[Retroman]

And like that it(the thread) was gone.

 

[cookiva]

Eh, lets not rehash some of the words said. If anyone has the article, great! Post it. If not, dont....

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Hmm. Why was the thread deleted all the controversy it caused?

 

[chamber-music]

I hope he has a little bit of russian accent or mention him being from russia or something.

In the original Uncanny X-Men stories, Colossus was vulnerable to Magneto when in steel form, yes. I don't know if this was changed in other X-Men continuities like Ultimate etc.

 

[Nathan]

In the Ultimate Universe Colossus was still vulnerable to Magneto. But he was strong enough to fight against Magneto's magnetism and pounded him to the ground.

 

[GNR]

I was looking for that Gay Colussus thread today,what happened?I didn;t see any flaming going on at all.

 

[Downhere]

It got deleted GNR.

 

[Crimson Warrior]

Hey does anyone besides me think that Daniel's Hair looks somewhat blonde in the X3 promo picture?
