So is Scott really dead or only mostly dead somewhere? I, too, must confess a "yeah, now we don't have to listen to him whine!" moment.
I like Rogue, but, man, I felt like slapping her at the "you're a guy and only think about sex" comment. Yeah, not being able to touch much suck and, yeah, at his age, it probably does occupy a great deal of Bobby's mind, but he's so nice - and not in a Scott's-perfectly-nice-but-deadly-dull kind of way. I thought the ice rink pond was very sweet.
So, Scott's dead - that means Jean gets to be the pouty one this movie. She's not very pretty when that Phoenix thing gets going in her, is she? I did like the atomization of materials.
And I liked Magneto trying to stop her from killing Xavier. You just know there's slash out there. And I like his snark.
Though I wonder what Eric Lensher(sp?) would say if you told him he was sort of sounding Nazi-ish with the race traitor/superiority stuff? I did love the line about having been marked once and never having a needle touch him again.
Storm got to do things besides pout! I liked her and Beast with the hair comments.
The slave name crack was funny - as was the impersonation of the President in the prison transport.
The Juggernaut and Kitty confrontation was cute - also Bobby's asking her never to do that again when she phases them back out of the ground. Bobby and John/Pyro was good.
Did Magneto expect Mystique to betray him and tell where the camp was? Or was that planned? And if it was planned, why the hell did she do it? He threw loyalty out the window. Damn, that was cold - after all she's been through with him, he could, at least, have taken her somewhere away from the authorities, gotten her some clothes, and then dumped her for being human.
And about that humanity - I sure hope someone tells Rogue it's not permanent before she sexes the Iceman to chips :P And when Magneto was sitting there using his power just a bit there at the end, all I could think was that Mystique had been hit earlier and with a much lower dosage than him. Woman scorned could do some serious butt kicking if she can find him.
Wasn't as fond of Xavier in this one - the whole controlling Jean's abilities thing was a bit icky and manipulative. Necessary in context, but still icky and manipulative.
You may have noticed that there's been no mention of Logan so far. So, ahem...
I LOVE WOLVERINE!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahem. I especially loved the "don't you ever learn?""Actually, I do." moment. Classic OMGWTF look on Magneto's face.
Want the Wolverine movie! Want Hugh Jackman to come do shirtless yard work for me! Well, Logan, not really Hugh. Aw, heck, even Hugh - he can bring the missus - all I want to do is watch him work in the yard. Shirtless. In shorts. "Yes, Mrs. Jackman, you have a lovely husband." Was the same thing with the late Kevin Smith(Ares on Hercules and Xena) - bring the wife, fine; just bring the leather outfit and walk around smirking. My mind can take it from there.
end ruminations, questions, and lewd thoughts. At least the written and available to the public ones.
(Okay, spellcheck recognizes Xena, but denies pouty?)

Date: 2006-06-03 02:44 pm (UTC)I think Magneto did expect Mystique to betray them, but it wasn't part of the plan. He's been with her long enough to know how she thinks, so now that he's cast her aside (totally cold!) he knew she'd be out for revenge.

Wonder what ranges of blue you'd get if Mystique and Beast spawned lil mutants?
