Yes, that was a big cock up.

I guess she met a man at the bus stop that could fulfill her needs and desires

That is the only logical explanation!

If Jimmy Marsden has hit his successful streak a couple of years earlier, we'd have seen more of Cyclops in X3. He'd have become a priority in the same way that Halle Berry was.

 

[Nathan]

Because Wolverine is.

As much as I like Wolverine, the constant overexposure and favouring of the character is making me sick. Wolverine isn't the only important Mutant. It's still called X-Men and not X-Man.

The rest of the X-Men could carry a Movie just fine without him around. I'm actually glad Wolverine got his own movie now. Hopefully that'll keep him out of future X-Men movies.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Yea not saying I agree with Wolverine being the face of the franchise, but he is, there is no denying it.

This. Is. Fact.

Agreed

Halle got the closest to Jackman.

Who else could be the face of the franchise?

Its not like any of the other X-Men have successful solo comics that have been running for 27 years and span over 400 issues.

I like alot of other X-Men characters too, but when you say the words "X-MEN", Wolverine is the first that comes to mind for most people.

 

[chaseter]

Casual fans don't read comics and they far outweigh us fanboys.

 

[Nathan]

Why do we need ONE face that represents the whole franchise? The X-Men are a group. The Team should represent the franchise.

Who's the face of the Fantastic Four franchise?

Jessica Alba

 

[Peter McCabe]

Jessica Alba

Exactly.

*Casual fans may not read comics but they know who Wolverine is.

 

[Nathan]

Tell me that's not true. Most of the time I try to ignore Alba.

 

[chaseter]

Me saying Alba was a joke She is a horrible actress and only a pretty face.

 

[Peter McCabe]

Me saying Alba was a joke She is a horrible actress and only a pretty face.

Joke or not, she's still the face of the Fantastic Four as of now.

Well actually her behind is the face of the FF4 as of now t:

 

[chaseter]

If she is the face of those movies then what a truly sad state we live in

 

[Figs]

If she is the face of those movies then what a truly sad state we live in

A state where Fox makes the rules.

Seriously.

Who's the face of the Fantastic Four franchise?

There isn't one. Fox didn't shoe-horn one character over the other in the FF movies. All 4 of them were equally important.

 

[Figs]

Seriously.

Yeah but Alba stood out since she was obviously cast due to popularity as opposed to actual acting ability.

 

[Nathan]

Personally the only reason Alba stood out to me, was because of how miscast I thought she was.

 

[Deaths Head II]

I didn't think Alba was way more dominant over the three others. Even though I hated the Fantastic Four films, if theres one thing I like is that they actually felt like super hero team movies.

Best part of the first one was the final battle where they worked together all using their powers to take down Doom. That was cool, it just sucked that the majority of the film was subpar.

You need to take it up with the writers of the comics then, because the Wolverine over-exposure comes from there, not just the movies.

 

[Jick]

I just read about First Class having the first X-Team. Cyclops, Jean, Ice Man...
No Wolverine...and they're planning to do that.

Well with the books they gave Wolverine more titles to appear in to compensate for the fan demand. He didn't become the main character of the X-Books like in the movies.

In that respect I agree that a solo series for Wolverine would work well for the X-Men franchise as it gives Wolverine the exposure fans enjoy while letting the rest of the team get some screentime.
