Colossus was cool to see, but I get the impression that the 'actor' they have playing him was less an actor than a body model. Awfully Ahnuld.
Well, I don't think you can really tell when he only had two lines ("This way!" and "I can help you!"), but I thought he did fairly well with those two lines (stance, tone, inflection).
The villain henchman's name was Yuriko, and she's referred to as Deathstrike at least once in the film.
I completely missed the Deathstrike comment somehow, then. I only remember her being addressed as Yuriko.
Didn't catch Jubilee though, where did you see her?
Well, she shows up first in X1, in one of the deleted scenes ("Storm's Class (Expanded)"). She looks somewhat asian with her trademark yellow coat. She asks Storm a question about the lecture, and Storm addresses her as Jubilee.
In X2, you see her in a few shots at the mansion before all the crap hits the fan (although I don't think she had any lines), and then she's in that room with the other kids near the end of the movie (if you listen you can hear Storm yell "Jubilee!" when she and Nightcrawler get there).
Magneto escaping from his prison gave the opening scene with Nightcrawler a run for its money in terms of pure coolness
That was insanely cool, but Nightcrawler wins because of sheer BAMF-ness. :P
Prof. X was never describe as having the ability to kill every person on the planet merely be concentrating too hard in the comic books... with or without Cerebro's help.
Yeah, that did seem kind of hokey. Although related to that, was Mutant 143 supposed to be Legion, or was he a new character?
Toad secreted a substance from his hands and was also able to control people who touched it.
I don't remember Toad having that ability. I thought that was Worm's (the Genosha guy) power. In the comics Toad always seemed like the little dork let into the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants just so the other could pick on him. He even wore that little court jester getup...
Mystique was never protrayed as having spindly skin.
Yeah, it's strange how they didn't just go with the "plain blue skin, white dress" look, but you have to admit the new look is an eye-catcher! And her exit from that one room was just sheer style... :D
I suppose they were just looking for a new character who hated Wolverine and was semi-involved in the Weapon X program. Lady Deathstrike fit the bill but they didn't want a hokey cyborg/assassin with extending arms I suppose. Well, they both... um... have claws... and stuff.
Yeah, but did they have to make here [u]exactly[/i] like Wolvie? Ooh, she has claws, and regenerates and stuff. She's just like Wolverine... Only a girl!!!
Of course, she had one of the more interesting deaths in the film... :blink:
I so need to see this again.
