Overthinking it? I think this is the first time ive ever been accused of overthinking something, but yeah you are probably right, its just that one of the things i loved about the X-Men comics (I havnt really followed comics much since Punisher turned black) was the relationships between the various characters, something that the movies, other than the love triangle between Jean, Scott, and Wolvie, managed to screw up. It shoulda been Shadowcat hangin with Logan, not Rogue, or at the very least Jubilee, Rogue shoulda been with Gambit, since its unlikely shed fall for Magneto after he tried to kill her and everything, no back story with Lady Deathstrike and Wolvie, I could go on and on, my point is introducing Cable as a future Wolverine or whatever, in my opinion, would be a stupid idea. I understand its just hollywood, and of course theyre gonna change stuff up, but still, Iceman was an orginal X-Man, and now hes a New Mutant? WTF!!!?
My wife really hates seeing these movies with me, cause through the whole movie im like come one thats not what happened! Anyways, when we saw the last Wolverine movie i kept my mouth shut through the whole movie, trying to be polite, yaknow? She turns to me at the end and says, "Well?!" lol. I think she secretly likes hearing me bitch about those movies.
