Other than Magneto, Xavier, Wolverine and Mystique, every character in the X-Men movies is a special effects prop. None of them have any discernible personality or motivation- why are Storm, Cylcops,etc. willing to risk their lives for Xaviers cause?

Deadpool should count as much as either Wolverine movies.

i dunno, i think it would be nice to know why Cyclops, Storm, etc. are on the team as opposed to siding with Magneto.

what…the fuck does this even mean?

It really is Magneto Origins with the X-Men shoe-horned in.

it works the same way it does in the real world; politicians need a scapegoat and pick a minority group to fill that role.

actually its not off-base.

other than both having a guy named Stryker, the movie and the Graphic Novel have little in common.

and much better action scenes.

None of the X-Men movies have lived up to the promise of what an X-Men movie should be…you know tell the story about the X-Men as a team. Instead, we got three movies that focused way too much on Wolverine, followed by three movies that focused way too much on Magneto and Mystique, and to a lesser extent Xavier.

1) 5'7" is taller than average for women.
2) Carol is a Air Force colonel who accidentally gets super powers…why is there a height requirement.

Not anymore.

Except he didn't create Jubilee- Marc Silvestri did.

Peck is not a scientist or a engineer, he's a bureaucrat. Egon told him not to do it and the electrician that h brought with told him that he had no idea how the system would react to shutting it down. Peck let Venkman wind him up into making a bad decision that put the entire city, if not the world, at risk.

if the number of mutants is so low than why are they a threat to humanity? they're no different than the Eternals or Inhumans then- just a small offshoot of humanity that are powerful but easily ignored.

to be fair, comics writers forget this all the time. even Claremont wasnt consistent.

he never thought Alex was dead. Sinister allowed for Alex to be adopted so he could have Scott to himself.

I'd say the X-Men haven't been the same since Claremont left the book. Their hasn't been a cohesive voice since, with writers coming and going because the editors don't want to shake up the x-books too much. Other than the Age of Apocalypse, the only noteworthy runs of X-Men are the Morrison and Whedon runs.

how? there were a few million mutants running around in his run, big enough to have their own subculture, but a very small percentage of the overall population.
