"I hit you with your own PIMP."

Things I really liked:

- Kelsey Grammar = SERIOUSLY AWESOME?!?!11 He was pretty freaking great.
- Ben Foster too. Wings! Srsly.
- Hugh Jackman's muscles. Uhhhhha;skmdfngvuaio;wjmlakesgansjdl. Yes please.
- "I'M THE JUGGERNAUGHT, BITCH." AHAHHA;SDHAHHAHA;LSKDJFA;LKSNDMAS. SERIOUSLY. GREATEST. EVER. I totally did not see that coming, and I was laughing so hard I had tears, man. Oh. Fantastic.
- The opening sequence. Logan trying to light his cigar ahahaha!

Things that made me give a serious "WTF?":

- Rogue, Magneto, and Mystique all loosing their powers?! Wha...? That's... that's them! Their defining character! That was just way too weird for me. And I never even read the comic books/new about the characters/was obsessed.
- PEOPLE DYING?!?! Jimmy, the expert at most things Marvel, turned to me at the end of the movie and said, "Yeah, um... no one ever died, and that was really stupid." Like... why couldn't Logan have given Jean Gray the cure, or something? Killing her? Srsly? I was pretty shocked.
- It moved way too fast. Like, you know how in X2 when everyone went to Bobby's house? And people like, sat down and discussed things? And showed more character? Yeah, kinda missed that.
- Bobby/Kitty Pryde wtf? I really liked Kitty but... quite suddenly he doesn't pay any more attention to Rogue.

I don't know. I liked it and I didn't. I'm a little disappointed, mostly. I really wish the same director would have directed it, but man, Superman looks like it's going to kick some major arse, so, who knows. I really do love the whole X-Men world and the characters and whatnot, but this just seemed a bit out of left field. I think I'll just stick with X2, maybe.



Erin and I went to the beach today to get down to some serious tanning business... aaaand ended up frying ourselves, pretty much. My shoulders feel like they're suddenly going to combust, and even the back of my hands are sunburnt. Gah. *Bathes in aloe*

Yeah, I get that the Phoenix will keep coming back... but they like kicked that whole storyline into super-uber-ultraspeed mode, since in the comics Jean returned to being herself for quite awhile before the Phoenix emerged. And Professor X's death wouldn't have bothered me nearly as much if it hadn't been Jean that killed him. Or Scott. Yes, I think she did kill him as well, at least for the movie.

And you just said exactly why the "cure" can't be permanent - not because the serum itself become ineffective, but because it doesn't stay in the body forever.

I don't claim to be an expert on the Marvelverse or anything of the sort. But I am a writer, so inconsistencies in characters really bothers me.
