[QUOTE="DonTadow, post: 2856866, member: 22622"] First things first. This is the movie, and you have to go by the mythos you establish in the movie. That is why I am not touching the inconsistiacies with the comib book. Even in the comib, people are played out to be very...evil.. when killing is involved, or there is somethng detromential to be gained. NEither is shown in the movie. Again killing is a "last resort" not to be used on angry teenager rebellious tens. But this is the movie, and its already been shown that the xschool does not support killing from 1 and 2, so the blatant use of it was a big diversion from its own mythos. Now, you'd have a fighting chance at this argument if there was an army full of calistos, but mosto f the mutants killed didnt even have powers. Thats what really irked me. If you're a comic book reader, you know that the x-men will try to use other tactics to apprehend minor mutants and criminals. They wouldnt kill in the name of professor X. Errr, this was a war? how so. What the heck were the yfighting about. I couldn't tell. I dont think the audience could either. Again lots of boom booms ...yay. Magneto had a reason, but the xmen's reason was pretty ...well unknown. I mean in the last movie they did the exact same thing from the other side. And you're wrong, more families will probably enjoy this movie more (see the reviews at rotten tomatoes) if the lethality was toned down in lue of more good old fashion traditional x-men action. If you look at the best comic book movies of the decade, spidermans, batman begins, they apprehended their villians, thats what hte good guys do. Man, I wish this was DC because Alexander Luthor needs to merge this movie with a much more pleasant x-world. [/QUOTE]
