BIGGEST CASE IN POINT: GAMBIT

What made Gambit so unique were his black eyes with red pupils that ignited when his powers activate. Though a good looking cat in the comics, his eyes made him abnormal among human standards. His eyes are such a “unique” visual which would have been so bold on screen, of course are removed by the film makers. I know without a doubt they cast Taylor because of how his eyes looked in The Covenant [see the motorcycle fight scene] and you have a basis for how these things get put together by the suits. Leaving Gambit’s eyes out makes the film lackluster in its appeal.

CASE IN POINT: DEADPOOL

Ryan Reynolds in a boring red shirt and a couple of swords does not equal cool. It equals uninventive and dull. I understand they are paying for face-time with RR, I get that… we all had to bare the brutal casting of Topher as Venom and watch him mug through the minimal time Venom was on screen. And, I can’t fully make the assumption that we won’t see DP in full costume yet, but let’s admit… it does look bleak. Deadpool’s costume, even if for 70% of the film, was just from the neck down in red and black leather would be visually hard core, and it wouldn’t hurt RR to have some scars on his face for this film.

LAST CASE: THE LOOK

I’ve seen Tsotsi, and visually its a masterpiece of dark edge. Cinematic and wide in scope. Wolverine looks like bad 70′s television. Overly lit, no mood. Sets look like sets on soundstages and not environments.

Can usually see the arc of a film by the trailer. IRONMAN was case in point that all the right notes were hit. This one, misses on all of them.

Someone who’s gonna be a future Alpha Flight member?
So far the studios have done a lot of things that don’t follow the comic storyline. So if this isn’t ICE WOMAN? Then who is it?

Deadpool in the film looks cheaper then Elektra, a B-grade reject from straight to DVD Flicks? I hope the film will feature him with a mask and his crude healing factor? And a red and blac costume worthy of a dark knight and ninja.

I hope Gambit isn’t an evil character in this film? So far he looks cool but a bit too clean, his eyes need to be glowing red and smoky.

Blob looks cool !! The best thing I have ever seen on screen.
Better then the X-MEN 3 Juggernaut.

I’m wondering if John Wraith (Kestrel) and Maverick are in this film?

If I did the movie myself, I would end this film by having Logan wondering in the woods and getting shot by James Mc Donald Hudson and Heather. This could also lead to a spin off with one of my favourite team: ALPHA FLIGHT.

(Make mine Marvel !!)

I don’t want spoilers in a trailer, but it’s nice to have a sense of what the movie is ABOUT. People say the trailer to “Seven Pounds” is confusing, but it gives you the gist: Man commits some terrible act in the past and is attempting to repent for his actions by bestowing a gift upon someone worthy.

Vic

Sabertooth died recently in the comics, and he just fell into the water in the X-Men movie. (Didn’t see the body so it don’t count!)
Death ain’t all that permanent in the Marvelverse anyhow.

Besides, this is a pre X-men movies story.

Pretty sure that the ‘Patch’ persona only came about when Logan was hiding in Madripor.
He had been a member of the X-Men for a while at that stage.

If we don’t know exactly how it goes – isn’t that good?

I thought the trailer was very exciting and they answered one of my issues that I wrote about in my article: The glowing cards and staff which looked wicked.

Now the next HUGE issue is whether or not Gambit has his trademark accent.

Also, another important obvservation (or lack thereof) is how deadpool/ryan reynolds was noticeable absent from this trailer. He was also barely featured in the comic con footage so I’m thinking they’re saving him as they don’t want to spoil it. They must think he is awesome as they’re already talking a spinoff for him.

In the original script for the movie the claws are bone. After the apparent murder of Silverfox by Sabertooth, Logan and Sabertooth fight in a bar and Sabertooth breaks Logan’s claws off.

I want Gort to visit Fox studios.

I don’t know, this might be good. I have my doubts, since it is Fox making it and they are not following the exact Marvel universe (the Weapon X program didn’t involve Blob nor Gambit, if I am remembering right).

More points:

11. Logan hopping off an amphibian transport during a WW2 scene.

12. SaberT and Logan in front of a firing squad.

And FAIR WARNING! Bootleg copy online already but I’ll wait for Vic to get it HERE……as should everyone.
