Future X-Men projects: A Wolverine-less X-Men...

I remember when there were about a half dozen X-Men comic books out there and Wolverine appeared in only one or 'em (not including his own).

The thing about the X-Men (at least during the '90s), was that there so many of 'em, that they could be divided into separate teams each with their own unique flava...

But those times have changed and it's now become "Wolverine and the X-Men" these days (yeah, I'm lookin' at you, Nicktoons)...
 
If they do more X-Men movies, please Ghod have them do Nightcrawler right. X2's version was okay, but they did not give me the bon vivant I grew up reading. Plus, he was the perfect foil/companion for Wolverine.

He also wasn't furry.
 
Why not have an X-Men movie or show using both the gold and blue teams.

I think Cyke was the leader of the Blue team and Storm the leader of the gold, none of this Wolverine as the leader crap. (also looking at you Nicktoons!) just waiting for that show to pick up steam, main story arc-wise

dont get me wrong, i like wolverine, but he should be the lone gunman with the occaisional sidekick

on the topic subject, I don't think so, Wolverine was allways the outsider of the group, his story line was allways the most varied from the main group (and alot more interesting than capes fighting capes or giant robots) Wolverine "took over" because he has the most depth/interesting plots.

as for the way the movies were treated, Jubilee was WAY under-used (a cameo in 1, and given a few small scenes in 2) She was allways supposed to be kind of a Side-kick to Wolverine
 
Sure, I'd watch a Wolverine-less X-Men flick, depending on who's in it. Originally, Len Wein (writer and co-creator of the new X-Men who premiered in 1975) wanted Colossus to be the focal point of the new comic, but, of course, we know how that went. I'd love to see Banshee, Havok, and I also liked Sunfire. -- RR
 
^ Colossus could be good, but it would end up being a Brotherhood movie, because his only real storyline is when Magneto saved him, so he Joined the brotherhood for a while storyline
 
he joined the Brotherhood for a while after Illyana died from the Legacy virus. during the Fatal Attractions crossover.
 
depends who the characters are.

if they go with this 'First Class' thing, with Jean, Cyke, Hank and someone else (doubt it'd be Bobby or Warren), I would.

Banshee? Firestar? Havok? Polaris?

Is it really so much to ask to have a movie that uses the original five? Seriously? I honestly will not be fully happy until they do, so no, I suppose I will never be fully happy... :(

Had the first X-Men film been set up slightly differently, it would have been easy to set the film sometime circa the group's 'All-New, All-Different X-Men' makeup - Beast and Angel are not present and presumed gone, Storm is already present, Wolverine shows up. But obviously there are a few kinks in that - Bobby and Colossus being kids, Warren being a kid and never having been there in the first place, Banshee, Polaris, Havok, and Nightcrawler not present, and kid Rogue showing up 'early.'

Making just these subtle changes would have appeased canonistas such as me while also delivering the more diverse group that fans wanted. X3 tried to do this a little with referencing Beast having been there in the beginning. For me, the original five would have all been about thirty to thirty-five (Ryan Reynolds being a nice substitute Bobby Drake for my money, Warren I dunno), except Beast, since Kelsey Grammar was pretty awesome. The 'All-New' X-Men I would make twenty-fivish with the exceptions of Wolverine and possibly Storm.

i did kinda get the impression when XM:FC was announced though, that they were doing something featuring the kids seen in X-1 through 3, IE: Iceman, Kitty, Colossus, Rogue, possibly Jubilee etc.
Me too, which made me, frankly, uninterested in the project.

Agreed!

Agreed. Where's that 'velvet' skin?

So far I'm likeing it, not ''loving'' it, just likeing it. However, I wish this was an adult swim series, you know so we can FINALLY see wolverine actualy gutting somebody! Some real good-oal fasioned hack ''N'' slash, Blood''N''Gore And Cigar chompin! Not this kiddie stuff ( YES I know it's aimed at kids, but still) only Clawing & Slashing at robots and cyborgs?:angryrazz:
Would you watch it?

I would.

Thoughts?
Naaa..I'm a DC man maself :D
Personally, I'm waiting for the X-23 movie. Or better yet, NYX.

At the risk of typecasting the poor girl, anyone else think Summer Glau would look good with her own set of claws?
;) I'd watch.
