Yes, I'm quoting myself. Yes, this thread is aging.

But I have something to add. Rather unimportant but . . . I was right. :P

Last night I got really in the mood to watch a movie and with nothing on TV, plus (having already seen the bulk of my DVDs very recently) I got to thinking and a nagging memory of a mention about DVD commentries in the Matrix thread had me looking back at the DVDs again. I couldn't remember listening to the X-Men commentry, so that's exactly what I went and did.

Bear in mind this particular DVD version is titled "X-Men 1.5" and is a fairly recent release carrying some material recorded while X2 was being made. The commentry itself was recorded 4 months into the X2 shoot.

The "something to add" is a snippet from Brian Singer delivered during one of X-Men's deleted scenes referring to a later scene that did make the cut. When the X gang (minus Wolvie) are in the Statue of Liberty's head and Cyclops blasts Magneto's gizmo up in the hand, the blue/white gene munching energy field then dissipates. The very next shot takes in the trio in the statue head and in the foreground is Jean Grey. The first think she does is look down at her own body with a slightly puzzled expression.

I was right, as it turns out, and Singer actually states it in the commentry: Jean Grey's amplified power in X2 is a direct result of Magneto's doohicky. :D
