Reflecting with the popular mutants

WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE MUTANT IN X-MEN??? If someone asked me that question, I can’t probably answer because there are so much great characters in X-MEN like Cyclops, Beast, Storm, Phoenix, Nightcrawler, Shadowcat etc. that I think each one of the characters could have there own comic line successful.

Since then, I’ve been a fan of X-MEN movies and series and I’ve never failed to watch any X-MEN movie to the point that every experience that I had with these movies has a memorable story.

The first movie of X-MEN was as thrilling as the other movies and that I was so excited to watch it. Unfortunately, I got too occupied that I wasn’t able to watch it in the theatres. I am so sad and desperate then that I tried to satisfy myself on some scene caps and advertisements and as expected, the hunger remained. Few months later, I finally got myself free of the desperation but unexpectedly, I saw the movie playing on a T.V. at the house of my relatives when I visited my cousins at Valenzuela. And so, I got the hunger back but finally, it was partially satisfied because for at least I was able to watch the half of the movie. Obviously, For an X-MEN fan, half wasn’t enough and so I stared at the VCD copy so much that I never thought that my interest on the VCD was showing so obvious but I was lucky because one my older cousins hand it to me and he said that I can have it and after that I watch it and finally, I was fully satisfied. That VCD was one of my most treasured possessions and I really don’t like to lose it unfortunately, one day my other cousins intended to borrow it and bring it to the province and that I just get it back once I have gone back there. Obviously, I didn’t agree with the transaction but unfortunately, my mother hand it over to them for I was getting a bit rude and so I ended up wishing that they will never lose or wreck it. A year later, I was able to visit my province and the first thing in my mind is to get back the VCD. And so, the moment I got there I asked for it until I found out that it was like borrowed all over the place in the barrio and was obviously lost.

X-MEN UNITED is one of my favorite because mystic was once on the good side and also General Striker is also one of my favorite characters. The scene in which the school got invaded by an army was my favorite that I was able to invent a game out of it. The “it” will act like GENERAL STRIKER and the rest as the mutants. The “it” must be able to catch all of the mutants by touching them. Once a mutant is touch he will not be able to move form his position but other mutants could help him by touching him also. The game ends once Gen. Striker was able to freeze everyone in position and once that happened everyone should sit and raise one hand with two fingers forming a “V” while shouting VIVA. The person who last sat, raised his hand and shouted viva will be the next it. Variations could be put in the game like having additional “it’s” that will act as Gen. Striker’s soldiers. For me, the game is full fun because I am the one who created it. LOL. Aside from coming up a game, X-MEN united broke my heart because a mutant died at the end of the movie, which is Jean Grey. I like sad endings except for something as favorite as this.

X-MEN the last stand is also very memorable to me because that was the movie there rogue gave up her power and I didn’t like that because her powers for me is very powerful though socially unattractive and impractical. Nevertheless, I hated the fact that she has to end up powerless. Also, Due to that twist, Mystic lost her powers and that too was heart breaking and I must say that this movie is really a movie of survival as how it was described- the last stand. And so, this is the most thrilling and heart breaking among all of the x-men movies since rogue gave up her powers, mystic lost her powers, Professor X died, Scott Summer was killed by Phoenix (Jean Grey), Jean Grey awake from death as the dangerous Phoenix, who at the end was killed by wolverine and lastly, Iceman, Shadowcat and rouge had a love triangle and I didn’t like that to happen because one of my favorite teen mutants will be ditched out from that relationship. I felt all of the battles, twists and turns so much that I felt so lucky that I was alive during the days X-MEN the last stand was shown in theatres. Though this X-MEN movie is not my favorite because of the sad endings, I still believe that it so much deserves to be the best selling x-men movie with around 100 million dollars of earning within just the first week of showing in America.

The latest movie, X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE made me so anxious because of too many problems that it is facing. Starting it of with the leakages that spread through the internet though I think it wouldn’t damage their earnings that much because, when I saw it, it was not yet done and definitely that is way too underwhelming for an X-MEN fan and that definitely watching the full movie in cinemas would be the best. Another problem that they are facing is the swine flu scare because it could probably hinder the people from going to cinemas. But there’s good news! Despite all the problems they are facing, the movie was still earn a lot with almost 90 million dollars of earning within just the first week, which exceeds the amount of first week earnings of the first two X-MEN movies.

I must say that X-MEN movies has been one the most memorable part of my lives because it never fail to keep up my interest but nevertheless I just wish that movie industry would change there minds and that someone would do more X-MEN movies in the future.
