X-men 2

I saw X2 the other night and really enjoyed it.
I noticed all those things people mentioned (well I only noticed Remy LeBeau on that screen, but it flashed so quick that I culdn't see any other names), except for the Phoenix at the end. But I saw what was coming at the end there with Jean, and I kinda figured that it would lead into the Phoenix storyline.
Jammie Maddrox is actually the name of a character from the old X-Factor comics. His code-name was Multiple Man I believe.
I used to be a big XMen fan between the X-Cutioner storyline up until the Onslaught thing. Towards the end, the stories just got bad, so I stopped collecting.

Long before Twistid was around, hell, long before the Insane Clown Posse, Jamie Madrox was the name of Multiple Man, a member of X-Factor.
There's a scene where there is a TV in the background. On the TV, they are interviewing a Dr. Hank McCoy, aka the Beast.
As for Nightcrawler in the 80's and 90's, he spent most of the time as a member of eXcalibur, the team of X-Men based out of Muir Island, England.
Schi0249, is Colossus still dead? I stopped reading the X books before the Legacy Virus deal was wrapped up, but I did scan through the issue at the store.

He sure is. One of the few to remain dead. For now that is. Late last year they went through a rash of killings. Pslocke, Magneto, and everyone else on Genosha. The current writing teams seem intent on not constantly bringing back the dead. They returned a few old members, most of the X-Factor team. Colossus was always one of my favorites. And I was very disappointed when they killed him. But the story for it was good.
You should see what happened to him a few years later. The current Beast is blue, furry, and has sharp claws in place of hands. Ah how times they change. If you think the old X-Men books are bad, then check some of the truly old Superman and Batman comics. Man I'm feeling way nostalgic. I guess its time for me to read some old school comics.
I saw it on friday night, and i would have replied sooner, but I had SATs and had to study a ton for my AP US history exam
anyway, i thought it was an excellent movie and I cant wait for the third one, but I still have a few descepancies, much like Vertigo (also, just to note, I mostly followed Marvel comics through collecting of the cards in 92 and 93. I was a young'n and didnt really have money for a lot of comics, but I practically memorized stats and summaries off of the back of the cards, and I followed the cartoons too, so some of my assumptions might be off)
I liked the movie in general, and what they did with the characters for the most part. I think they did pyro really well, and colossus too, though i would have liked to see more of hime (and shouldnt he have a russian accent?). I was the most dissapointed with the general flub that was Lady Deathstryke. If im not mistaken, she used to be a love interest of wolverine when he was in japan, but for some reason he left, and she got mad and she got claws and came after him. I know she didnt have healing powers, but ive always been curious about how she got adamantium without them. And was stryker's son Mastermind? Thats who he reminded me of but i wasnt sure if thats correct, and i wasnt aware that he secreted a mind controlling liquid. Also as a side note, was the whole movie based on the comics or a graphic novel? Another thing i didnt like was how they cant exlpain rogue's flying ability and stuff, so they just leave it out. I also kinda wish iceman would get used a little more. He was kinda a pussy. i also didnt really like how nightcrawler teleported by "faith" instead of line of sight that one time, and did anyone else notice the romantic tension between him and mystique for a few seconds at the camp scene? that caught me way off guard since he is his mom.
Anyway, even with those descpensies, it was still an awesome movie, one of my favorites. I'm gonna go see it again this friday to see if I can find any other cool references (i found the gambit reference and Hank McCoy the first time, but who knows what else there is).
Oh, and btw: didnt the x-cutioner kill Colossus? that was one of the few comics that I did have (but i cant see to find that one or any others
)

Iceman looks like a snowman, throwing snowballs at his opponents.
Also, check out Angel with the bazooka.
I saw it on Sunday, I stopped checking out X-Men YEARS ago (around 1996 I think), however, from I remember, it made the movie enjoyable. I liked seeing Collosus (correct spelling?) and Pyro. However, was Pyro a good guy then became a bad guy in the original story as well? Because from what I saw Pyro was ALWAYS a bad guy. I stopped watching partway through the Phoenix saga. In fact, I remember very little. Also, wasn't Mystique, Rouge's mother in the series?
