Kitty continues her habit of using the N-Word (often as a way of calling out black men who badmouth mutants)
Huh? From what I recollect, she used it once when talking with her ballet teacher, Stevie Hunter.

I remember a comic (though not that one, and I don't know if it came before or after GLMK) where she confronts some black man mouthing off mutants. He asks her if she's a mutie and she counters by asking if he's...

I guess the point was to call out that kind of racism, but Kitty should get her head knocked off for that kind of stuff...except your fist would just phase through her head.

Btw, the Xavier mind wipe thing is really stupid and uninspired.

Also Kitty gets maced and chloroformed in the very next page in that comic.

The black guy she was talking to then plans on murdering her (he was also in the middle of planning to kill Xavier as well), so take from that what you will.

Wow. Sometimes I think Chris Claremont is determined to make Black people the biggest mutant-phobes of all.

Not that Kitty should be getting away with using the N-Word. This conversation got weird, so lets move on to something else.

I hate the Xavier mind wipe. Makes him look like an ass plus it makes mutants look bad if this is your MCU introduction.

I remember those episodes from the first clip...wait a minute.

How was storm able to lift him with the Hurricane?

That's literally going against his entire concept!

[up]He was about to step on Logan, so he had one foot off the ground and thus he wasn't immovable. tongue

...Actuall, that might work.

I guess. I don't know if something like that ever happened in the comics.

Then again, we still never answered the question of what would happen if Blob fought the Juggernaut...barring that one Xmen Evolution episode where the latter sent the former flying (but this was a Teenage Blob I have my doubts).

[up]Similar stuff has happened. Spidey got out from being stepped on once by smashing through the ground which knocked Blob off balance, Colossus moved him before using a girder and Wolverine as a fulcrum to make an impromptu lever, and another time he moved Blob by lifting the ground he was standing on.

Long story short, he needs both feet on stable ground to stay immovable.

Regarding Juggernaut VS Blob though, I'd back Juggernaut in that fight. Magical power and all that.

Juggernaut vs Blob would always be a win for Juggernaut. Blob would stay rooted to the spot, but Juggernaut would just uproot the ground he was standing on.

More reshoots, more problems: The New Mutants is now going through even more reshoots.

One thing that you've been intimately involved with is The New Mutants, and they're getting a movie from Fox.

"Yeah, I think they're doing some reshoots right now."

Now I'm REALLY sorry for anyone looking forward to New Mutants.

What do mean by “more”? I haven’t heard of the reshoots happening until now.

[up] Wait, didn't they do reshoots for The New Mutants last year? Or was that just for Dark Phoenix?

It was Dark Phoenix that did reshoots last summer.

New Mutants was supposed to go through reshoots last year:

New Mutants is a different matter, however. When the film was initially delayed, it was reported that Fox wanted to do some reshoots to make the movie scarier, even going so far as to add a new character. That still holds true, and while we hear the film tested well, it’s not “scary” enough. Director Josh Boone delivered a cut of the film that he was happy with, but Fox wants this movie to stand out as tonally distinct the same way Logan and Deadpool did.

The reshoots that the studio wants are now even more significant. We’re hearing that at least 50% of the movie may be reshot, and they’re adding one or two new characters who will be present throughout the entirety of the film—this isn’t simply adding a cameo. Moreover, Boone has been having some creative differences with the studio over the requested changes to the movie, so the reasons for the New Mutants delay are more complex than why Dark Phoenix is being pushed.

But then those reshoots were delayed, leaving the project in limbo (probably because some of the actors couldn't make it back in time). The reshoots happening now are probably those that were going to happen back then.

[up] Well. They got 6 months until release. Seems like a hell of a time to do reshoots. Can they pull it off?

I would imagine the reshoots are meant to keep it contained to one film over a planned trilogy.

New Mutants was never meant to be a trilogy. The reshoots are to change it to more of a horror film.

TargetmasterJoe Since: May, 2013
#499: Feb 2nd 2019 at 8:45:06 PM

[up] That's weird, could've sworn there was talk about the New Mutants having a trilogy.

...Although I guess either way it's pointless because the X-Men Universe is about to be snapped into oblivion in a few months, so whatever!
