More on X2

[butterfly]

And the Bobby/Rogue stuff was more interesting this time around. The kisses in Bobby's house, particularly. Bobby had to pull away from her. I'm not sure that Rogue could/would have broken away in time on her own.

And the first scene with them, where they almost kiss and then she completely ditches him when she hears the motorcycle come up the drive. Not to mention that she slept with the dogtag around her wrist - either that or the reason that she took longer than the other students to get out was because she was saving the tag. Either of which would amuse me.

Still haven't figured out Logan's reaction to Mystique's turn as Rogue. There's an element of "That's too far." in it, I think.

Adored the Pyro/Iceman/Rogue thing. Envy and longing and a touch of resentment from John.

Again, I love the Jean/Phoenix thing. The flirtation with Logan annoyed me this time around, because... Scott is way cool. And she's kissing someone not-Scott. When she's with Scott. I mean, I know that it's Wolverine, but still. Scott is just as cool, in a different way.

X2 is an awesome movie, girl. I like Bobby/Rogue, Jean/Scott, and Storm/Nightcrawler. :)

It's way cool. I have almost the same pairing likes as you: Storm/Nightcrawler, Jean/Scott, Bobby/John, Rogue/Wolverine.

It's sucky that she let Logan get so far as to kiss her, but I just can't blame her. I mean, look at him! How do you say no to a guy like that who just won't stop trying. Le sigh.

*blames Jean*

Hee. No, I can understand why she's attracted to Logan. I mean, who isn't? But Scott loves her so much and if she wants to go around kissing other guys, she can darn well break it off with Scott first, so that there isn't a chance that he'll find out and be even more hurt.

Wolverine

Wolverine should have been able to smell that it wasn't Jean from the moment Mystique came into that small tent. I have to rewatch that scene to see if he's playing along, or if Singer dropped the ball.

In the novelization, he could tell and is playing along, I think. They just weren't able to express that visually. Sucks, I know.

Re: Wolverine

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Huh. Didn't the novelization come out, like, before the movie?

*wonders about the wisdom of that*

And I love the icon.

Thanks!

And yeah, it did. The ending's different from the movie, though - in the book Jean survives, but is blind. And, there's a whole sequence showing Cerebro's effects on various mutants worldwide, and then their reactions to humans suffering the same thing, and, yeah. Way cool.

How would Jean survive? I guess she didn't go outside in the book.

And that last bit does sound interesting.

Re: Wolverine

[teleute12.livejournal.com]

No, she gets all Phoenix-power-y with the TK, and fixes stuff from inside. 'S way cool.

Re: Wolverine

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

And in the movie, they have that thing where her power actually screws with electronics, and thus she couldn't do it while on the plane in the movie.

Re: Wolverine

[teleute12.livejournal.com]

Is that why she had to go outside? I've only seen the movie once so far, and I guess I didn't catch that.

Re: Wolverine

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

I think so. At the beginning, she had a headache from the mental noise and all the electronics went on the fritz while she was all with the pain.

Re: Wolverine

[teleute12.livejournal.com]

That makes sense. Thanks!

I saw above that you're a Bobby/John and Rogue/Logan 'shipper. Have you read the awesome On Love and Lust at Mutant High (http://seperis.illuminatedtext.com/llindex.html) series, by Jenn? If not, you should - it's *fantastic*. It's not really a series, as much as a really long story broken down in to parts, or whatever.

Re: Wolverine

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

I have, and I totally agree with you. It is fantastic.

Re: Wolverine

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

I didn't think of that at all. Next time I watch, I'll look out for that.

Then again, Mystique copies everything about someone: even their handprint when she wouldn't have been able to study it (Deathstryke(?) in the lab). Why wouldn't her body copy the smell as well?
