I want to see "X-Men: Days of Future Past"...on the big screen

[JacksonArcher]

I love how they have Angel in costume, there.

What did he get at the end of the movie? A room.

Anyway, I think you got a great idea there, JacksonArcher, but it's never gonna' happen.

And don't write the script.

You're just jealous because you don't have the overabundance of time like me to write such a script! Oh, wait...

 

[Praetor]

Speaking as a non-comics fan...

I think it's a bad idea. Terminator pretty much owns post-apocalyptic time-travel stories; the Matrix series came close to matching it, but ultimately failed. Besides, we saw DoFP in X3, in the Danger Room sequence.

Once the Jackman/Wolverine series runs its course, or even before (and don't get me wrong, I love his Wolverine and hope his solo movies will be good), I think a reboot is the right way to go. First Class and all... hire unknowns, like Watchmen did, so the cast can be controlled. Retcon the founding of the Xavier school and X-team to the present day, or even a 60s-era period piece could be cool.

But Singer's cast has dispersed, we don't need any more Halle Berry Storm, and X3 poisoned the well as far as sequels or non-reboots are concerned.. Time to start fresh, and DoFP is not an inaugural story.

Yes. This exactly. Start over, and do it right this time.

^^^^I would love to see the original 5 on the big screen. Singer's X-Men has run its course. Make it an ensemble piece, but more importantly, give Cyclps his due as a character and leader and not just a foil for Wolverine. He's been pretty much short sheeted in every major X-Men endeavor. This new show on Nicktoons is no different.

Because Cyclops has no personality, so he's hard to like. Young boys watching X-Men don't mimic Cyclops, they mimic Wolverine.

I think I'd rather see "The X-Tinction Agenda" rather than DOFP because is falls into the same theme the first two films had about the governments using & brainwashing mutants into controllable weapons. It also holds better to the whole civil rights theme too. I that also helps link other Marvel films like Iron-Man, Incredible Hulk & Captain America and how their experiments are different versions of the Weapon X project.

Like any character, it depends on how he is written.

I find Cyclops a more compelling character because of the position he is in. Unlike Wolverine, who has little responsibilty to himself or his teamates, resulting in his cliched "badass" persona, Cyclops has tremendous responsibility not only as a field leader, but also the "face" of the team, the personification of Prof. X's dream. He simply can't give into his more basic impulses. You think Scott doesn't want lay a couple of optic blasts into some bigots who cry "Mutie!" at him? Of all his power and leadership skills, his restraint is probabaly his greatest ability. Writers have written him that way in the past. Its a relatable trait in all of us and could be easily identified. Probably moreso than Wolverine's cut loose personae. Anyone who emulates that usually ends up in jail or worse. I tell you what, If my own son, blockaderunner jr., starts idolizing Wolverine, it's going to be time for a talk.

For us, yes but I'm talking about young boys who these types of comics are also geared toward. Most young kids don't care about all that mumbo-jumbo, they just enjoy the idea of super powers and the attitude behind it.

While it's not my place to tell you how to raise you're child, I do hope you're joking about that last part.

In all the years since X-Men was made, I have only heard one quote quoted ever, over and over again, and it's totally about Cyclops. He's a dick. That's it... the two seconds worth repeating out of 6 hours of cinema. The last movie was horrible. I thought that it was so horrible that the actors would have known and refused to cash their cheques on principle. But Jackman got p'nked by Brett Ratner, something about accidentally setting a house on fire after a BBQ. I guess the disappointment didn't make it up the food chain or Hugh has never watched X-Men III as some sort of defense mechanism?

Ellen Page. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

I was reading some comics the other day, and I couldn't quite figure out (Yes I've read the Excalibur issues where they go to the future and topple the Sentinel regime so that the future is safe for mutants since no amount of meddling in the past stops the sentinels from taking over.) how Days of Future past works now that Kitty is dead? Well Rachel was never born, so that's beside the point, but if the Sentinels do still take over, what's the plan? Who are they going to send back in her stead and how?

Cyclops has always been my favorite X-Man, ever since I was a young boy.

Me too. I thought I was the only one, although since then I would say Iceman is now my favorite. I think Cyclops's sense of responsibility combined with his tendency towards self-destruction are what make him interesting. As a kid watching the animated series, he always came of as the one in charge. He puts up a brave face, but inside he's all self-doubt. Feel that way myself a lot of times.

Wolverine was always just to me that crazy furry guy. I didn't want to be him.

 

[Dream]

It's a crime how badly they treated Cyclops in the X-men movies. They should have named the X-men movies "Wolverine and the X-men" and gotten it over with.

 

[Praetor]

Or just renamed Cyclops 'Everyone's Bitch.'

 

[Guy Gardener]

Well if that name had been taken, what would they have called the new cartoon?

Who are "us"? You mean that fanboy elite that thinks that no one else understands comic characters beyond the spandex? Please.

You obviously don't have any kids. To use an example, blockaderunner jr. understands the subtle nuances behind Batman and knows theres more to him behind the cool gadgets and fighting. And he's 10. That's why the Timmverse version of Batman is his favorite and he won't touch Cartoon Network's Brave And The Bold. BTW, he hasn't expressed interest in the new X-Men cartoon. And I had nothing to do with his decision. So think twice before lumping my son in that group you refer to as "most kids".

Yeah, I was really pissed about that. I liked James Marsden, but the role was just so under-written and ignored. I understand that Wolverine is who brings in the bucks, but Cyclops is the leader of the X-Men out in the field, and he should have been treated as such. It would have been nice to see Scott put Logan in his place, even if it was just once.

They weren't even going to have Cyclops in The Last Stand at all, for crying out loud!

Yikes, and the parental claws come out.

Yeah, I would have liked to have seen The Last Stand written in such a way that Cyclops was present at the climax.

SINCE JEAN'S HIS FRAKKIN WIFE!

Jebus.

Er, OP, anyone? Jebus indeed.

 

[Praetor]

Sorry, I had a moment. (Believe it or not, I actually liked 'The Last Stand'.)

Failing the reboot/First Class idea, I do think Days of Futures Past could make a good movie, and since you'd really only need Hugh Jackman to come back as Wolverine (if, that?), then I'd say go for it.

 

[RoJoHen]

I think a Cable movie could be pretty sweet.
