[QUOTE="John Crichton, post: 876028, member: 4779"] Not a plot hole, just something that you didn't like. I had no problem with it at all as the same technique was used on Lady Deathstrike, Cyclops & Magneto, not to mention a more powerful version on Professor X. And Nightcrawler was not incompentent by comparison in the rest of the film. He was fighting regular men with guns plus he had no reguard for his own welfare as he was sent on a death mission. The heroics he displayed later in the film (while not as stunning nor did it look as cool) were much more difficult in comparison. Yeah, but they wanted to keep Professor X and the kidnapped kids alive. And that base was (as you saw) holding back water. Magneto, while powerful, can't do it all himself. He would have had to kill the others to get the jet. Storm would have assumably stopped him. [i]EDIT (oops, forget to respond to this one):[/i]It did seem like should could get the jet going from inside but there is nothing that showed that she could have held the water at bay from inside the jet. Additionally, it certainly seemed like something else was at play in that scene that drove her to leave the jet and the rest of the X-men. [i][end EDIT][/i] There's more than just walls to worry about. There is the floor as well. If it is at a different elevation or there is someone standing there, that would be bad. And as for the place rescue, that is easy. Makes one quick teleport outside the plane, looks down, sees Rogue, teleports to her then back to the plane. I'll admit, the movie wasn't perfect and it did seem like the film was a tad disjointed, but calling it horribly inconsistent is not accurate. It had a beginning a middle and an end. I had no trouble following the events that conspired throughout. [/QUOTE]
