I have a bone to pick with BOP (I'm not joking. X-Men First Class spoilers)...

Posted by Mel Profit (aka Mel Profit) Jun 18 '11, 07:44

you guys list Best Comic Book Movie scenes and don't include the very beginning of X-Men?

Seriously?

It set the mood for the entire move. It sets the mood for the entire franchise. It's so iconic they frigging go back to it in the last movie and expand on it.

He's just the most significant bad guy in the entire Marvel universe and you completely understand his motivation within 5mins.

You guys dropped the ball with that list. You went with the sex pick as #1. I love it but it's the flashy pick. The beginning of X-Men is the real #1.

We actually had a conversation and agreed that there was nothing memorable about the original X-Men. They just throw everyone together and fight some. -- nm - David Jun 18, 10:58 12
- I know I/we joke about how wrong you can be but...wow. - Mel Profit Jun 18, 11:10 7
  - The jump from X-Men to X-2: X-Men United is one of the most dramatic I've ever seen in a franchise. - David Jun 18, 11:39 6
    - If you want to discuss X1 vs X2 we can do that (we can fight that one out another time) but that's not really what we were doing... - Mel Profit Jun 18, 12:38 5
      - We seem to be talking through one another. I am not joking when I say that there is absolutely nothing that moves me about the original X-Men. - David Jun 18, 12:50 4
        
        Yeah X-men 1, problems that it had, had a stellar opening sequence that was Schindler-esque in it's quality. rest of the movie has problems for sure - Remlik Jun 18, 14:09 1
        
        stellar. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 18, 15:38
        
        Yeah...I think we watched different movies. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 18, 13:00 1
        
        I watched the one that was a desperation cut of a three hour movie. -- nm - David Jun 18, 13:07
- You are wring, Mel is right. Are you forgetting the first five minutes? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 18, 11:02 3
  - Yes, which doesn't speak well of it. -- nm - David Jun 18, 11:03 1
    - The twisted metal. The mud. The screaming, the heartache. The genesis of Magneto. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jun 18, 11:27
  - (damn you autocorrect!) -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jun 18, 11:02
I would say he's the most significant badguy for the Marvel Movie Universe so far -- nm - Remlik Jun 18, 08:06
