X-MEN2 In Production (News Inside!)

I picked up Uncanny X-Men for the first time in ages, and bought my first ever Xtreme X-Men book. What i can't understand... if they're tied together, why is Wolverine in both books? How is he in two places at once? And why is he on the cover of, like, 6 completely seperate titles at one time!!

 

It is very interesting that way! Some comics I read have nothing to do with their covers.


But I have to say I am also confused about that. But I am not sure fi they are all linked together. It would make sense but If Wolvie is in them all almost then it's not really all the plausable.
But what are you going to do?

 

Wolverine is... Multiple Man!!

 

I'm not sure, but I think that the titles don't occur simulatenously within any given month, so that might explain Wolvie appearing everywhere.

Of course, the real reason is that Wolverine = $$$

 

Even so... Wolverine would have to travel across the country, back and forth from team to team, while finding the time for his own adventures, for it all to make any sense. It just isn't plausable for him and they should just stick him with one damn team.

 

It just isn't plausable for him and they should just stick him with one damn team.

But if they did that, they couldn't capitalize on the baffling (to me at least) Wolverine craze that's been going on the past couple of years. The way some people act, one would think that Wolverine was the best comic book character of all creation and that all other characters are there to service the betterment of his character. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy Wolverine, but only in moderation; I never like any one character being overused. But it's as 1stAD said, Wolverine seems to be extremely popular right now, so having him everywhere will chance a greater amount of money for Marvel.

 

Seriously! Wolverine has his own comic for god's sake!! HE SHOULD NOT be in all three x-titles. And it isn't even like this month was special and he guest stared... he has been in all three x-titles for a few months now.. (on and off in xtreame)

 

I posted this at Music forum initially, but it got closed. I don't know why...

I just got the X2 soundtrack yesterday.

It's recommended you SEE X2 before you read this thread, it may contain spoilers!

My short review:

My favorite piece is of course the theme of X-men 2 that you'd hear in the beginning of the movie. It's like the X-men cartoon theme, but with a movie style. However, it only goes for like 10-15 second, and that's it. Quite a shame that piece does not occur more often in the whole soundtrack & the movie itself I wish it did. #1 and #16

My second favorite piece is Pyro's theme, the soundtrack doesn't say specifically it's "Pyro's theme", but if you go see the movie you'll understand that music appears everytime Pyro shows up. Pyro has choosen the Dark Side! Dark side music like Star Wars, always good. I didn't really like Pyro but this music did help me like him more #1 #12 #14

My third favorite piece is Mystique and Lady DeathStrike's theme, #4 and #13 One of my complaints is the composer did not use Kamen's X-men 1's mystique theme (quite good actually) into this.

My fourth favorite theme is the Dark cerebro (It's time) theme, it gaves the movie a suspenseful feel when I saw it. #8

My Fifth favorite is the finale music where they must stop the dark cerebro and get out of the Dam.
One of my complaints with this one is it did not use the X-men theme (#1, #16) in this one. #14

Perfect storm is a fifth , and Mansion attack is 6th favorite. You will actually hear a subtle X-men theme, but it wasn't full. #2 AND #6

"Magneto's Old tricks" when he Escaped from the prison is a pretty good theme, 7th favorite. #9



Sad to say, None of themes had a signature "Across the stars" or "Duel Of the Fates" feel though.

Another complaint, the camp scene where Mystique transformed into Jean Grey to seduct Wolverine - that theme was not on this sndtrack.

Hopefully in X-men 3 there is a real X-men theme, that had the grandness of Star Wars, Batman, themes. I mean, X-men is a great movie saga, it deserve a Big Theme.

 

Bring on Gambit and Beast FULLY

 

Wolverine is... Multiple Man!!
Yes..yes he is. He must be.
It makes sense he is the most important guy in the entire line/series of anything.

I hadn't really realized that though. Now I do!


I saw "beast" in it for a few seconds though. He was on a TV set. It said "Dr. McCoy" on it so It was him. But you didn't see enough of him to make anyhting out.

 

Going to see the movie tomorrow (yippie!) and getting horribly spoiled

As previously mentioned, Wolverine has his own comic series because he's such a popular character. And because new plots are needed, and sometimes the "ol'" plot isn't good enough, there has to be a certain amount of artistic license, where the story is twisted. It's not the best thing to do, of course, because it creates confusion and it's hard to make up your mind about which is the "real" X-Man - the one in his own comic series, or the one together with the rest.

The same happens to Gambit in his own series - in the X-Men comics, he's absolutely nuts over Rogue, but in his own comic, he also hits on a girl called Minnie at one time. It's irregular, and frustrating at times, so it's essentially a matter of deciding what you wish for the "real" storyline to be and treating the rest as...a pleasant diversion.

--Gambit fan (wants to see him in X3 - a mere mention of the name Remy LeBeau isn't enough )

 

Those miniseries are godawful

They're inconsistent, and generally suck. I thought the turn of the millenium had seen the end of those, but lo and behold we have that Wolverine Origins POS that adds nothing to the character.

 

JC brokey, no let me edit-y

Anyways, I've recently begun to get into X-Men again via the various trade paperbacks (I stopped reading around X-Men #70) and was wondering if there were any recommendations for X-Treme X-Men. Bad title aside, it has my favorite characters and I like the art; on the other hand, it's written by Chris Clairemont, and I don't have many fond memories of his stuff

 

Wow.

***WARNING: LINKS TO PROFANITY AND SEXUAL SITUATIONS***

These are the funniest things I've heard in a while. I doubt this will make the Outtake Real -- but we can always hope!

There are very few bad reviews of X2. But among them is a reviewer that things X2 is extremely anti-Republican and another that thinks the movie is a sign of homosexuals trying to take over hollywood.

 

yeah people will take movies like this one WAY out of context just as an excuse to preach about their own sick beleifs....

i have a question: will they be making a third film? i hope they do, but i was doubtful....

 

another that thinks the movie is a sign of homosexuals trying to take over hollywood.

Oh yum, intolerance. I still find myself surprised each time I hear of someone blatantly missing one of the greater points of the X-Men; it makes me wonder if they just didn't bother paying attention to anything other than the explosions or if they flat out disagree with the concept of tolerance.

 

they flat out disagree with the idea of tolerance. Look at who you are dealing with.

 

Republicans are sort of the bad guys, politically, in the movie (I just watched the X-1 extras this last weekend and the pretend "hearing" is so blatant it's funny). I don't think that anyone who made the movie was trying to make a statement. They just see *republicans* as being much less tolerant.

 

Whoa! When is this X-Men Evolution season finale your talking about?

 

I watched X-Men Evolution tonight as well (and the past few nights too). It's an interesting take on the X-Men story, to say the least. I love how in it the Scarlet Witch is so goth. I've always seen Wanda rendered as a rather pristine character, so to see her designed differently for X-M:E, it's really cool. I don't particularly like that Mystique has such a strong snake-like appearance though. With Cyclops's bit of falling out with the team in last night's episode, it was cool to see him figure out that Mystique was posing as Professor X at the end of tonight's ep. Having seen the X-Mansion destroyed multiple times in the comics, seeing it blown up in tonight's episode wasn't that big of a deal to me, but Mystique's maneuvering to get into the control room to set the self-distruct was a new way of it happening, so it wasn't a complete waste. I wonder if Professor X anticipated the revolt by Mystique and the Brotherhood and basically let it happen in hopes that it'd bring the X-Men closer together. With his annoyance that they pretty much sucked as a team in the last episode, I could see him doing so.

Anyway, as with many people, X2 has caused me to yet again become interested in the X-Men. I haven't shunted off to pick up any of the newer issues of the comics yet, but I might soon.
