[QUOTE="Prince Atom, post: 454809, member: 6046"] I wasn't saying they messed up like that. I realize Spidey was the big ol' hit it was, and I realize that they must have something there to make it. What I meant by "messed up" was that they lost my interest shortly after I saw the movie. I realized that it wasn't anything new for me. Now, tons of people don't know Jack about Spider-Man or the Green Goblin; that's all well and good. But, I think I'll like the sequels better. Especially since Marvel doesn't seem to be in the habit of killing its foes off like the Batman movies do. They only kill Norman Osborn because it's in the comic books that came before (and also in the comic books that came before, Norman Osborn returns!). One should never assume a supervillain is dead until you see the body (and even then, you have to be careful). As for X-Men, Rogue's origin is the only one we see; we know why she's on the run. Of course, we know the motivations for both Prof. X and Magneto, but that doesn't mean we've seen their origins. Besides, all the rest of the mutants just show up. All of a sudden, there's a kid who can shoot rays out of his eyes, and a girl who can control weather. We don't even know their names when they first appear. That's what I meant by their not having origins. TWK Long-winded [/QUOTE]
