Things I can be upset about in the X-men movies:

1. The best couple (Rogue and Gambit) are never even in the same movie

2. The best bromance (Iceman and Beast) never exchange a sentence of dialog with each other

3. One of the best female heroes ever (Storm) gets plenty of screen time but absolutely no development

4. The female character who has gotten the most screen time (Mystique) is one of the last I’d have chosen. (Nothing against Mystique or Jennifer Lawrence, but why so much focus on her and not an actual X-woman?)


I can come up with a hundred others, but these are the ones that come to mind first. I debated doing an addendum to the first one, about how they messed up Rogue’s personality.

Yet despite all this, I love the X-men movies. I love them. I could make a list of what I love about the X-men movies and it’d be twice as long as the above.

And if they do somehow get Rogue into the upcoming Gambit movie, I will absolutely forgive all of the above!
