Believe it or not, some people are so openly hostile to the Origins comic that they can see absolutely no merit in it, art-wise or writing or even the other characters. I think it just so went against some people's ideas of Logan that it was destined to be hotly debated; Joe Queseda admitted as much when he decided to do it.
Sigh, oh Gambit, Gambit, Gambit! where were you, my first comic book love? Well, Singer just had an aversion to him (which was just as well considering that his justifications showed that he had no clue what the character really was in the first place) and Ratface Ratner was just, well, Ratner--we was in the original drafts of The Last Stand and they even held auditions. But seeing as Ratner laughed openly at fans who thought that the movie should be about Rogue... No, I'm never letting that one go. Lauren Schuler-Donner kept trying though, and she got him in there eventually!
Bobby and Rogue had a small thing going on in the comics after Rogue learned about his past but it never interested any of the readers so the writers were smart enough to do away with it as quickly as was possible. Rogue needs her friggin' super strength and invulnerability! Which is why I'm writing X-Men 3 AU! And I'm still trying to maneuver Angel over to Genosha and work in a bit of the Archangel story because, yeah, it's that fan-wanky and I'm just that awesome! xP
Ooh, Ghost Rider! Well, I think my most controversial opinion would be:
- The movie rocks. I'm sorry, just everything about it is awesome, from cast to the fabulous way they blend so many storylines from all over the years.
- I don't get the Black Heart thing. And the other Fallen seem to be less than impressive, especially compared to the terrifyingly slick presence of Peter Fonda Mephistopheles, who strikes just the right notes of smooth seduction and threat.
- I kind of miss Roxie's carny background in the movie, even though i think movie Roxie is much more awesome than comics Roxie. I dunno, there's something about the tension they created by separating her from that scene that kinda works better than she ever did in the comic, where she was the two-dimensional love interest goody-goody.
As for the comic:
- I've only red a bit of the new run, but I wish they'd get a bit more into his personal life. Marvel is renowned for the fact that its titles are always more personal than most superhero comics are conventionally, and I think that's really missing, great background story and art aside. I want to know more about Johnny.
