The Official Iceman/Shawn Ashmore X3 Thread

[RedIsNotBlue]

Yeah you should check out the IMDB boards there is a thread with a bunch of parody ideas from the posters and some of them are great.

Such a depressing looking ICeman, unless I have forgotten how to read X-men comics, and please someone refresh my memmory. Wasn't Iceman fun and the joker of the group, the x-men version of JOnny storm.

yea, you're right. They made Iceman emo and boring.

Another cool shot:

Thats a real nice picture. I love it when they keep his hair, he looks like a doofus when bald.

I am just trying to think how Iceman could be made into a parody. I like how someone mentioned a parody of Storm should be a black chick with a different wig and accent every scene...haha. But thats kind of a joke only a small group of people would get.

 

[TNC9852002]

yea, you're right. They made Iceman emo and boring.

He had an emotional arc with Rogue that needed a serious tone and a contrast with Pyro. I don't know if you've watched X2 as much as I have, but I never thought that he was never a boring character within his given role. You can't just look at a comic and say, "he was like this in the comic, so he should be just like this in the movie". The dialogue in these movies need to move the story around and if there's a moment that needs seriousness, it's gonna be there. They won't sacrifice that just to stay true to the source material and make fans happy.

I like the depressing look. Shawn Ashmore looks freaky when he smiles.

ive posted this before here is my try, of what it could look like

It looks really purple. It's okay, it's your first try. Good job.

I disagree here. The movie had plenty of serious arcs, and the Rogue-Bobby arc didn't need to be super emotional. And they could have done it with a mildly wise-cracking Bobby. Its not like in order to have a relatively serious arc they need Rogue and Bobby to be emo characters, just put it in the subtext.

I dont mind the story, I like it actually, but I feel it could have been done better with Bobby staying in character. And even if he served the story, the movie Bobby is still boring.

I like comic Bobby..........


when he's not being written by Chuck "Misunderstood Genius" Austen.

I'm a fan of all the original 5.

I'm definitely a biased Iceman fan

 

[TNC9852002]

Would you say Iceman is a very important character for the overall film? In YOUR opinion will Iceman fan's be able to walk away from the film satisfied with Bobby Drake in X3? and not just his use of powers but Bobby Drake's role in general?

*For me, Bobby was one of the most exciting things about X3. He’s a far bigger character in this film than the previous ones. His emotional arc may be one of the broadest of the film. In many ways, he really grows up and becomes a hero in X3.

Thank You! I'm trying to like him. I really am. In X1, I was upset that his role was so small, I thought I would like him if we would get to see him more. And then they gave him a bigger role in X2, but still... dislike. And if he is going to hurt Rogue's feeling in X3, I think I will dislike him even more. Sigh... It's a vicious cycle.

 

[TNC9852002]

Penn:

Q. In the comics Bobby has always been the class clown / joker type guy will we see that side of him at all in the film?

* A little bit. But things get heavy, quickly, and there's not much time for levity when Toad and Sabretooth are leaping out of their graves and attacking you.

Pretty weird answer..

Penn:

Pretty weird answer..

-TNC

ummmmm? all i got from that are that toad and sabretooth are coming back, lol

but hes totally right...in the x-movies when has iceman really had time to quip....its been really heavy, and i highly doubt x3 will change it. the only time i see him jokin around is POSSIBLY the danger room....maybe he might think of it as fun?

 

[TNC9852002]

Oh c'mon....Iceman was not THAT heavy...That is, unless you're an Iceman fan looking for wisecracks every time he speaks, comparing him to the comic in every scene or somethin'...

*dodges book*

I don't want to say with total confidence that most of you have forgotten some of the smaller things that Bobby DID do in X1 and X2 that were lighthearted or smartass, but I'm starting to lean that way based on the replies..

-TNC

 

[TNC9852002]

ummmmm? all i got from that are that toad and sabretooth are coming back, lol

I thought it meant that within the content, there really isn't much for Bobby to joke around about...

[Exploding Boy]

se murio..

Indeed... but in the middle of the movie his clone would come and take his place

 

[Abaddon]

So if Bobby's body temparature is always low,how does he you know...get it up?

 

[X-Gal123]

Hey, I had a random thought which is probably not a good thing so feel free to tell me that I have lost my mind and my theroy makes no sense.

Okay so from the trailers it looks like Iceman has left Rogue and moved on to Kitty, but what if he did this just so Rogue would not take the cure. Think about it Bobby and Rogue have been together for a while and Rogue probably knows that it is really hard that he can't touch her skin so she considers the cure. Iceman finds out about this and while he wants to be able to touch Rogue he doesn't want her to take the cure and change herself just to be with him. He kisses Kitty to make Rogue hate him so she won't take the cure and hurt herself.

If this doesn't make sense its okay I just was thinking about it last night while I was half asleep.

I'm REALLY curious as to whether we'll see him ice slide at all in X3, I doubt it but I can't help but wonder, hmmmm!
