MCU X-Men - Part 3

[psylockolussus]

Use the female Wolverine for the movies. Just saying.

Or just use other more deserving female characters.

This.

Let’s give Storm and Rogue some meaty screen time first. Let’s have Storm fully fleshed out as a character and have Rogue knock Sentinels out and calling people ‘shugah’.

Kitty Pryde should be given her due, too. I'm still disgusted that her role in DOFP was given to Wolverine and she had Rachel Summers' powers randomly grafted onto her to justify the change.


Also, I know that the MCU will stop wasting mutants in throwaway roles where they have neither names nor lines to speak. These heroes are more than just cool looking designs to provide filler for a few minutes before being unceremoniously killed off.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

While I look forward to the use of any characters in the MCU... I actually feel that knocking around bad guys and saying "sugah" will be the extent of Rogue's characterization. Of course some will go wild for that because they grew up with the animated show. Then again I am partial to thin, punk rocked hair Rogue, not Dolly Parton caricature porn star body and hair Rogue.

You know, I was kind of happy that Anna Paquin wasn't forced into that shallow Southern stereotype when playing Rogue. Paquin had a great accent and Rogue's personality was believable in the first film. Her Marie was more of a real person than the comic book character. That was perhaps the only thing the Singerverse got right about her.

I'm just ready for Cyclops to get his due

Guilty.

But that’s why it’s imperative to have Rogue/Mystique in the Captain Marvel movies first before they bring them into the MCU X-Men. That could be a perfect example of character development in the MCU: having her transform from this reckless, power draining, trampy evil mutant into the selfless, sassy Southern Belle that we know and love.

I see what you mean but I respectfully disagree. She was definitely a real person like you said in the first movie, but after that they just stunted her growth. If anything, they could’ve made her like she was in Evolution, where she could’ve been this powerhouse without even using the Captain Marvel powers but they just kept her way too one dimensional and woe is me.

 

[Xeno]

The last thing Marvel should do is ruin Captain Marvel by having Rogue basically rape her the way she did in the comics. Why build up Danvers as the most powerful hero in the MCU, only to have that stolen from her just because Rogue "needs" her powers? Let Rogue get her powers elsewhere, or better yet, have her constantly stealing the powers of other mutants for brief periods, as she did when first created. That could have been used very effectively in the Singerverse, had the writers the wit to do it.

 

[Darkprime]

Do you think they should do standalone movies for magneto and charles?

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Absolutely not.

 

[TheVileOne]

Why isn't Laura deserving?

It doesn’t necessarily have to play out like it did in the comics, they can alter it a bit. Captain Marvel, the MCU’s most powerful hero suffers her first real defeat at the hands of a random mutant. Maybe instead of a coma, she’s paralyzed or something until her powers recharge and she regroups. Suffering builds character and seeing how she reacts after a good ass kicking can give Danvers some more depth.

 

[TheVileOne]

I don't think that's ever going to happen.

 

[Silvermoth]

It’s kind of already been done

 

[Iceman]

"More deserving". Most people want to see everyone get a shot over the course of a large number of films, but the traditionally core characters first.

 

[Havok83]

The only two females I think that need to be in the first film are Storm and Jean. They are the two most vital ones to build a foundation on and anchor the franchise. Im indifferent to the 3rd that might join them. Rogue would be a good choice except that would make the lineup too much like we got in the original film and I feel they should vary. TheVileOne's idea of X-23 is interesting and would be a nice twist but Marvel realistically isnt likely to pass Logan over for her

I like Polaris as that would make for an interesting dynamic having Magneto's daughter mentored by Xavier. BUT they probably should go with someone more physical as Storm and Jean already are projectile based characters

 

[Iceman]

Of course I'm super excited about the X-Men team done right, the characters done right, the diversity up and front, the girls with big roles and all.

But now I just realized there is a very interesting and diverse "power set" to explore (that was never fully explored on FOX). Cyclops, Storm, Bobby, Rogue, Psylocke, Jean, Kurt, Eric, Illyana, Sam, Gambit, Havok, Lorna, Jubilee, Colossus, Sunfire, Danni, Dazzler...

Can't wait to see the team in combat. It could (and should) be very interesting visually. Can't wait to see Marvel's take on them.

There is huge visual potential that mostly went unexplored in the Fox era. They did well with Nightcrawler and Blink but that level of effort needs to be put in on realising the abilities of every character.

Storm and Jean are definitely the most important. Maybe have Psylocke in for the first film then and add Rogue in the second film.

I like Kitty Pryde or Psylocke as the third female in the team...

Preferably Psylocke just so she can get a decent screen depiction for once, with a personality. Although Kitty Pryde adds a different energy to the team as the youngest one, whereas Psylocke would likely be contemporary with Jean and Storm.

I do agree with you that Jean and Storm are the musts.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

I never got the hype about Kitty Pryde.

 

[TheVileOne]

That's never stopped MCU from making changes.

Scott Lang is the main Ant-Man for MCU. The main Wasp is an MC2 villain.

Cool power maybe.
Like Jubilee, she's the resident "young one", which pretty much all the X-Men movies/spinoffs have.

 

[The Infernal]

I don't think that's ever going to happen.

It does seem like they might have just missed the boat on that one, but never say never. Even in more ideal circumstances I don't think anyone would expect a one to one translation. I think there could be a lot of potential for a Rogue vs Captain Marvel flash with a frenemy dynamic following on.

Scott Lang is not Wolverine: one of the most popular A-list Marvel characters.

 

[2kt09]

Scott Lang is not Wolverine: one of the most popular A-list Marvel characters.

He's also not the founding member of The Avengers, yet they built the Ant-Man brand around him and relegated Pym & Janet to veteran status.
