The new X-men(HELLA SPOILERS!)

Jedit:

--- Quote from: Ozymandias ---She actually showed up to accept her Raspberry Award for Catwoman. Halle Berry is aces in my book just for that.

She not only showed up, she also parodied her ... fulsome Oscar-winning speech.

Electric Monk: Berry's Oscar was no fluke.  She just didn't get it for acting, is all.

Tergon:
I got bored and read the Wiki on some of the characters of the X-Men.  One that made me sad was the Wiki on Toad.
Now, I'm not much of a comic geek... I've seen some of the X-Men cartoons and whatnot, but I don't own a single comic.  But even I know that a lot of this stuff is wrong.

--- Quote ---The Toad's strength has increased slightly over the years. It has been written that he is able to lift one ton with his arms and press three tons with his legs. Toad also has a very flexible spine, allowing him to remain in a crouching position comfortably for hours, though he can stand if he wishes. He also has gained the ability to extend his tongue great distances and ensnare objects and people. He is also able to spit a caustic phlegmatic substance. These last two abilities were invented in the movie, but the comic writers liked the traits so much they decided to write them into the character in the comics as well, when he was enhanced by the Stranger's equipment.

I mean, honestly.  Even with my miniscule knowledge of X-Men, I know that this is wrong.  "Invented in the movie"?

I think this is one of the biggest problems with the movies that X-Men fans have.  A lot of people watch the movie and accept it as real canon, which it's not.
Of course I just always thought Toad was kinda cool, so.  Y'know.

poeticallybored:
There are couple things in the Marvel universe that were included from spin-off variants. For example, X23 (Wolverine's clone/daughter) originated as a character on the X-Men: Evolution cartoon show and earned her own comic because of strong positive feedback. I guess Toad's powers are another example.

AceGun:
If my memory serves me, they modeled the latest incarnation of Cerebra after the movie design of Cerebro.  Also, after the first movie, they started having the X-Jet rise up from under the basketball court in the comics as well.

there are quite a few other design things that they took from the movies and used in the comics.

Sythe:
Okay, in the second mutant charge (after the blowdart guns are destroyed), why are the mutants just running at the X-Men? They don't even attempt to use their powers! Now I know that it would get a little chaotic and whatnot, but the movie could not be made much worse than it already was.

Where the hell was Gambit?! I've been promised Gambit for two movies now, and I'm getting pissed.

I know its been said repeatedly already, but Cyclops getting dead off-camera is not cool to the power of ><DONGZ>.
