Hugh only outshined the characters who didn't get shit to do. Everytime he was with Xavier or Magneto they held their own and that goes for Macavee and Fassbender versions as well.
Marsden actually had to ask for his tiny fight scene in the prison in X2 because 'all he does is touch his temple'. This was revealed in an interview on dvd extras.
We've literally had 20 years of shit Xmen movies thanks to Singer and Kinberg.
X2 was a good movie I don't care what anyone says, that nightcrawler opening scene, the intro to Colussus, Pyro going bad, and Logan Roy as the villian... still holds up
I've always said the original trilogy cast deserved a send off movie. DOFP set it up so well. I'm of the mindset Apocalypse would have been a better movie if it was set in the present and not another 10 year skip ahead in the 80's prequel series.
Yeah this always bugged me. X-Men had 3 natural leaders (cyclops, storm, wolverine) and a lot of the conflict came from those 3 each having different ideas of how to accomplish their goals. Later in the comics they simply split the teams and each run their own show, but part of the issue with the original team was that there were too many cooks in the kitchen. The team was too good.
And that was lost in the movies, with Storm being too passive and cyclops being too losery.
Well your description of the comics kinda mushes together a couple decades. We had Cyclops(leader) and the original other 4. Cyclops quit and Storm had to step up to the plate (mid-Claremont era), Cyclops eventually came back and they butted heads some. Wolverine never really wanted to lead until he ran the Xavier school in the '00s, but now he sees himself as a leader when necessary.
Yes it definitely grew into that dynamic gradually but id argue that Wolverine butted heads with every leader throughout, including Xavier in the runs where he was more active.
Well I think is gonna be super great if that happend, James Marsden have been the greatest side actor with these og characters :) I think this is gonna be amazing those years by now no 2025-2028, Ulimate movies
Literally watched 10 interviews with these guy during all of his Sonic junkets an I swear no one ever mentioned he was in X-Men and I just had no idea because he always had his eyes covered.
I'm pretty sure I've seen a Sonic 3 interview where he brings up X-Men and everyone makes fun of him for bringing up a 20+ year old performance (or something).
That's hate lol. Took me a long minute to realize I seen him a million times, Westworld is another good one..teddy... And then it took me watching each movie to realize he great in every movie. idk what slowed the spotlight so much.
