Wolverine VS. Gambit

[roguem]

I've been to a few discussion boards where they keep complaining that Wolverine gets too much screen time in the movies, and how sad they are because Gambit's cameo got cut.

I liked both these characters very much, they are pretty much my favourites, but I have another view to the whole thing:

I didn't think Wolverine got as much screen time in X2 as in X-Men in spite the fact that X2 was built up around his past. But this might just be me. Wolverine is after all my fave, so I have another point of view that the people who have other faves.
As for the whole Gambit-cameo, I must be the only one that's thrilled that they cut it. Now don't get me wrong, I would love to see Gambit in the movies, but give the guy a propper introduction!

Now, this is a possibility for how they could do this:
We know that Wolverine is staying in the mansion and that X3 will probably be "the Phoenix saga". So I would like it to end with Jean giving Logan the final message that she has no interest for him. (I know she kind of did this in X2, but I have a point.) He then leaves at the end of the movie to give her space, and maybe the professor gave him another clue...
Then they can make X4 (this absolutely kills me to say,) without any Wolverine what so ever. Then they can give Gambit a propper introduction and a real amount of screen time. And then the fans will get a new love triangle to get into. :p
By X5 (hopefully we'll get this far) Hugh Jackman will have been replaced by another actor, so then they can have the new guy playing him come in.

Just a little thought. I doubt the Gambit fans will want to wait until X4 for Gambit, but with the way they're going I think it would be the best way to go.

I love Wolvie as well, he's my fave. So if they decide to make X4 without him, I'll demand a spin-off, with HUGH!!!

Hmm, two hours for an X-Men movie is too short, I don't want it to end, love these movies. Am runnig to the store the day they release the X2 DVD!

Haven't read the comic, it was waaaay to expensive for me, will have a look again later. Also I've heard about the cut stuff... they should have waited until after the movie, then released a full-vrs of the book.

Yea, a couple of hours of *just* Hugh and those muttonchops.. woo!! :P So glad that dvd's coming in Nov. Can only watch the first one so many times.. even as good as it is, lol.

I got the book luckily for my b-day recently.. it's so cool to read extra stuff. It's not the comic though, but a novel of the movie. Kinda cool to get inside the characters heads.. :)

I'm soooooooooo looking forward to the X2 DVD, I even have a little coundown going... sad, but it gives me something to look forward to.

I didn't know there was a novelisation of X2!?! I've just heard about the comic-book! *Runs off to hunt for book*

[tygerx.livejournal.com]

Nothing wrong with a countdown! I'm just as ancy.. ;)

Yep there was a novel for the first movie too. Really just skimmed thru this one, heh.. but lots of good stuff!

I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on the DVD, will probably be watching it the entire day. ;)
Will of course let you know how it is.

Just wondering, is it ok, if I put you on my friends list? You can put me on yours as well if you want. :)

Re: Wolverine fans rejoice!

[tygerx.livejournal.com]

Yea sure! I'll go ahead and add you too.. :)

Thought i'd have to wait til next year, so i'm so glad! I do love the first one, but i've worn it out... lol. Looking forward to the extras too.. hope they have more bloopers!

Re: Wolverine fans rejoice!

[roguem.livejournal.com]

I have both versions of the first one.
Used a small fortune getting the DVD from the states, when it was first released, it was either that or wait another month.
And then I bought the 1.5 one. I'm a rabid fan, can't help it, have watched it waaaay to many times, so it's gonna be good to get something new, can't wait until Monday... 5 days to go. :)

You're a sick bitch..but you're my sick bitch so thats oki.

I know I'm a sick bitch. ;)
Of course I'm bringin' X2 back home! And I wanna see Hornblower as well. Ah! 4 days till I've got X2!!

Re: Wolverine fans rejoice!

[tygerx.livejournal.com]

Oh of course.. GOTTA have both versions.. and no waiting! lol! Geez some of my fav movies I have like 3 different versions cuz they keep releasing updated dvds! makes me crazy, but can't *not* buy it. ;P

Will be waiting for your update! :D

Re: Wolverine fans rejoice!

[roguem.livejournal.com]

Love your icon by the way.

Yeah, I went a little crazy with the "X-Men" DVD, that's actually the only one I've got two versions off, I usually sell off one version if I buy a new one, but they're both so cool that I just couldn't do that.

Re: Wolverine fans rejoice!

[tygerx.livejournal.com]

Thanks, yea i just lurve him with that cigar too.. :>~

Well x-men does have that effect on us.. hee!

Re: Wolverine fans rejoice!

[roguem.livejournal.com]

Hehe, so it does.
Must admit that I'm a sick puppy... bought dog-tags last year and wore them when we went to see "X2". A little sad, but I had fun with it. :)

Re: Wolverine fans rejoice!

[tygerx.livejournal.com]

Ahh.. but do you have a moveable Wolvie doll?? lol.. heh ;>

Re: Wolverine fans rejoice!

[roguem.livejournal.com]

No, don't have the doll. The dog-tags are actually the most X-men like thing I have... Have been considering a Wolverine bobby-head to have in my car though...

Re: Wolverine fans rejoice!

[tygerx.livejournal.com]

I think i have now about 3 different wolvie figures.. ha! I think I saw the bobble head one.. he looked kinda freaky! lol.. :P

Re: Wolverine fans rejoice!

[roguem.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the bobble head looked kind of weird. The only thing that's holding me back, besides the price, is the fact that I share my car with my dad. So I'm not sure how seriously the students and his co-workers would take him if he had that on the dash-board.

Re: Wolverine fans rejoice!

[tygerx.livejournal.com]

lol! oh that would be funny... :P

Re: Wolverine fans rejoice!

[roguem.livejournal.com]

Hehe, yeah I can just picture him driving into the parking space with that thing. Lol.
