I posted this here because this doesn't just concern one of the films; it really concerns all three. What was your major beef with the films? What did you dislike the most? Who or what do you think was badly portrayed in the movies, or what do you think they could/should have done to change them/it or make them/it better?
My major beef with the movies was they way they kept killing people off. In the cartoons and the comics, people were rarely killed. Okay, yes, there was Scott's father and a number of other people that died - but it was only a secondary and occasional happening. For the most part, people just got thrashed and came back later on.
For one thing, there's Professor X: Near the end of the series (what I call the original one, though I know it wasn't), Professor X was handed over to the Shinarens or whatever they're called because the X-Men didn't have the technology to keep him alive after the attack on him on national television. You know, where people realized he really was a mutant himself? Anyway, in the movies, he's essentially killed off and then resurrected because he transfers his consciousness to a man who previously didn't have one. Now, that's all good and well - but it's a major discrepancy. I do understand that they couldn't just bring in aliens on top of everything else in X3, but that's a huge one.
Then there's Scott: He's THE major player throughout the X-Men comics and shows. He dies at the hands of the Phoenix, which means they don't have him for the entire third movie. Now, that completely changes the face of the X-Men and puts Ororo in charge. While this is a great plot twist, I really wish they hadn't taken him off. Scott Summers is one of the characters that I would consider my favorite. Bobby Drake is another, and Jubilee, and a few otherss, but that's besides the point.
Now, the Phoenix I didn't have too much of a beef with because she did go away in the shows that I remember. The way they did her in X3 was good - her attempted affair with Wolverine, her joining with Magneto, and the final scene in which Wolverine was forced to kill her.
But let's recap: Cyclops and Jean Grey, two MAJOR characters, both dead. Professor X in someone else's body. Storm in charge of the school.
Plus, Wolverine didn't seem the pissed-off son-of-a-***** that he's supposed to be through the movies. He came across as a sad loner who became a co-teacher and helped to run the school. Okay, yeah, so the way things ended kind of left it open. But I still think they could've made Wolvie more comic-friendly, y'know?
Now, don't get me wrong: I loved the movies. But there were just some things I think they should've done very differently.
Anyway, what about you guys and gals? What didn't you like about the movies?
