Why Not "Cure"/Save Jean?

[BigMac]

you just answered it yourself

see you weren't the only one who thought that... SOOOO they did a twist HER DEATH!

 

[The Apocalypse]

Its no fun watching that..Wolverine stabbing her is cooler..plus if those things would have got near her they would have been destoryed..just like the building was..

 

[oneteen]

Yeah I agree with that. There was more emotion that way rather than just curing her.

 

[neemer5]

Everyone I talked to asked me why didn't Leech just go up to her and stop her destruction. He's techinically impervious to her. He could have shot her with the dart.
Better yet, why did they even need to send out all these mutants when Jean could have destroyed the entire island with the blink of an eye?

 

[Heretic]

Leech would have been killed by Phoenix...he negates powers when in close proximity but he isnt impervious to powers...

trust me, if Pyro manipulated flame to lick Leech's bald head, hed need some aloe.

 

[AmazinUncleBen]

The entire time I was thinking if Colossus could throw Wolverine such long distances...he could throw Leech at her, sure Leech might be obliterated, but he wasn't very important anyway.

 

[Chuck_the_bear]

lol yes leech would have died

Wolverine was only suitable to go because of his Reguvination powers

 

[Heretic]

I agree, leech played no role in this film


(sarcasm mode turned off)

 

[Chuck_the_bear]

lol

no part just his blood is what made the cure lol

but im still happy jean died..


maybe now they can explore's beast necrophila side


NO IDEA why i posted it BUT I DID

 

[deadlantern]

yeah, didn't anyone notice Wolverine's skin melting off as he struggled to walk towards Phoenix?

Leach would have been a puddle of nothing before he even got within 20 yards of her. As for Colossus "tossing" Leach...well Phoenix did stop thousands of "cure dart" in mid-air, so I'm pretty sure she could have stoppid a flying bald kid

 

[Heretic]

I'd like to explore a few sides of Mystique!

MAN she looked hot when she lost her powers!

She could've shape-shifted into Terri Schiavo and I wouldnt have lost my "mutant power" after that.

 

[Anita18]

Colossus couldn't even toss Leech that far if he couldn't metal himself up, remember?

But would'nt it cancel out in some way? If Leech got close enough to Jean it shouldn't have effect to him.

 

[deadlantern]

i think the point is that Leach wouldn't have been able to get that close since he would have been burned to cinders before he got "close enough".

The only thing that kept Wolverine from becoming a pile of adamantium bones was his healing factor. And besides, do you really think Phoenix would have allowed Leach to get close enough to her?

 

[malpaman]

No...she would have been instated into a looney bin for having multiple personalities...especially one that likes to kill, have sex, and cry.

sounds like a typical woman to me im kidding...please forgive

 

[Chuck_the_bear]

LOL

good point anita

 

[ZeroCorpse]

Let me sum all this up:

1. Colossus couldn't fastball special Leech, because Leech would have cancelled out Piotr's powers, thus no super-duper strength, thus no fastball special.

2. The cure vials were all destroyed, as was the building, the cars, and most of the island. Everyone on the island was incinerated except Wolverine. Even if Wolvie had a vial in his pocket, it would have been destroyed before he could get to Jean. He barely made it as it was. His claws, on the other hand, are INDESTRUCTIBLE. Jean couldn't incinerate them.

3. Leech's power only works within about 5' or less. Colossus couldn't throw him that far without powers, and even if he had powers, he couldn't do it. He didn't make it that far with Wolverine, anyway. Wolvie had to walk the last 25-40 feet.

4. Jean ASKED Logan to kill her SEVERAL TIMES. This was always the plan. Storm asked him much earlier if he was prepared to do what he had to do... Remember? They had already decided that Jean was buried beneath a personality that was too dangerous to live, and too powerful to take any chances. She had (apparently) killed Prof. X, Cyclops, and by the end, about 5,000 other people. She was beyond redemption. She didn't want to live with the knowledge that she had killed so many people-- especially Charles and Scott-- and she BEGGED for release.

"His claws, on the other hand, are INDESTRUCTIBLE"

technically though, if you really want to nitpick, then you could say that the adamantium that was originally fused to Wolvie's skeleton was originally in liquid form, therefore, it stands to reason that Phoenix should be able to "melt" it, thus easily killing Wolvie.

Of course, you can't really tell how "hot" Phoenix was making it, so who knows.

It doesn't really matter though, the ending was good stuff. No need to nitpick the minor details

 

[Coreo]

i thought she wanted to die coz of scott's and the prof's death- it's gonna be tough dealing with her own conscience after killing those two and hundreds of humans.

i also think it shows logan's actual sacrifice- without scott, he could have her for himself (assuming she likes him too). but he did for her.

 

[Magma_15]

They would never gotten close enough to do it, you saw the way she stopped those soilders, like she wouldnt be able to sense that someone was goin to try and cure her.

 

[jesseps]

Way it seems "Phoenix" could of read "Wolverine" mind to figure out what he was upto. She could of destroyed the cure before anything could of happened to her. Most likely why it was not shown in the film.

 

[Chuck_the_bear]

yes... I still love the death
a cure would have been ******ed

 

[Sketchee]

Its no fun watching that..Wolverine stabbing her is cooler..plus if those things would have got near her they would have been destoryed..just like the building was..

The way Storm said to Wolverine, will he be able to make the choice when the time comes. It sounded like she was already pretty set on the fact that Jean was gone and Phoenix had to be killed

The last movie already stated that once it becomes solid, it can't be liquified again. Remember Stryker saying that he had to keep it liquid because once it hardens, it's indestructible

 

[Angamb]

It's true, they could have cured Jean too, I don't accept Logan killing her was the only possibility.

Leech could have stopped her too, for some time. They (studio, writers, etc) thought killing her was the most dramatic way, but in a realistic world, the x-men could have tried other ways for stop her.
