So I've been addicted to the X-Men animated series once again since it came on Netflix Streaming. Hands down, it is probably the best cartoon ever made for a kid. Think of how jacked you were over it, then how much you were for the movie, the video games, the action figures, everything else. It was just constant action and mutant power use. Mutant powers taken away, used to kill, etc. Watch the beginning of the time travel one where Wolverine and Storm are together and Professor X was killed in college (which he is bald in all the way). Anyway it is all action for almost the first 10 minutes. Now that I watched these, it just makes the movie sub par. It had entertaining stories and a whole bunch of action, this program aimated in sweatshops over in asia, and you are saying you couldn't make a live action similar in scope with a big, powerful, hollywood studio? You add 25 more minutes of action and mutant powers and you gross another 100 million guaranteed.
But onto the situation that X-men live in. As everyone knows they live in a world where people are judgmental of mutants, this has people on edge. Yet if you watch the show, look at everything that happens because of mutants. You pretty much have a terrorist attack possibility at any given moment in any given location. You have time traveling mutants spreading plagues, giant mutants with the four horsemen, bridges constantly destroyed, intergalactic wars, and one man rampages. Obviously if you are a just person you should treat everyone as an individual. There are good and bad everything. But then you have to throw in the fact as they point out for a good while in First Class. This is a step in evolution, and the previous species is going to be wiped out eventually whether violently or not. If you put a badger in a corner what will they do?
If lets say there were then Super Mutants that became, more like Dark Phoenix, Magneto, all that shit would the xmen try to stop them? I'd assume so. What if that evolution happened again, and that is what Magneto is vs. Charles, that there are mutants, and then they breed the super mutants with they have kids, mutants squared. The mutants are just a blip on the screen of evolution as well.
How do you not include them?
X-Men 1) Gambit, Beast, Angel,
X-Men 2) Juggernaut, Sabretooth (he heals right), all above, and more collosus. Show him fighting the soldiers with wolverine, none of this help them shit, there is probably another mature teenager, have fucking Kitty Pride do that housework.
X-Men 3) Umm Every fucking mutant ever created. You want to create a trilogy. You want to have this huge fucking battle, the last stand right. No don't worry about the entire marvel/X-men universe at our disposal, lets just have a bunch of mutants that just jump really high and blow smoke.
X-Men 4) I don't know, can't really remember it enough.
X-Men 5) Cyclops and Jean. You have an added dynamic of charles and another power psychic. You could have a tiny thing with the Phoenix, since that ist he stupid thing they decided to do in the Last Stand. Not to mention that it might explain the beginning of the third one to all the hardcore nerds out there about the opening with magneto and xavier in the beginning. It could be her memory of the event because you have that in movie, but she might remember it as they look in her older present. Plus you actually have more of a reason for mystique to go over to the darkside in the end, because she is jealous of this younger, hotter, bustier, sluttier red head spending all this time with Charles reading each others thoughts. Why not make mystique Rebecca Romjin? Beast says she won't age. She is still hot, and lord knows she could use the work. She was the best mystique. Also I think it is pretty well established, that Cyclops and Jean are his first students. What is the point in changing that? Not to mention you could make cyclops over 30 to actually give more depth to the cast. Have him played by Steve Nash or some shit. Why isn't charles older? I thought he was supposed to be around the same age as magneto, but in this he looks 21.
