: I know! PLUS, if there was a pre-existing conflict between Sabretooth and Wolverine, they could have not killed him off, and put in a serious arctic fight scene in the next movie. I remember an episode of the cartoon that had him in the Alaska on some kind of journey, staying with Inuits and fighting with Sabretooth. But, alas, my hopes of seeing the Canadian version of that in X2 were dashed when Sabretooth bit the bullet.
Yes, another battle between the two would be cool. And wasn't Sabretooth a part of the Weapon X project in the comics? That would have made for a great plot point if he were to be in X2.
: Two things I'll say that I loved about X-Men:
: 1) Wolverine. I was so happy that the movie focused on him because, although he was barely in my top 5 favorite mutants, in this he was balls to the wall coolness.
I couldn't agree more. Although, I'd like to see some more stuff with Cyclops next time. He's my favorite.
: 2) The relationship between Jean/Cyclops/Wolverine. I was worried they wouldn't introduce this conflict until the sequel. That was one of my favorite things about the X-Men. The love triangle.
That definitely added to the depth of the film, and it's also one of my favorite plot points of the comic books.
: By the way, Beast is #1, and Nightcrawler is #2 (before priesthood). Also, I missed out on a few comics and used the cartoon to fill in some gaps
That's not very wise. Although they're somewhat similar, the cartoon (I take it you're speaking of X-Men: Evolution) isn't much like the comics. Though it could be congruent with the movie series, it doesn't entirely stay true to the comic books.
:...in the comics, were Rogue and Nightcrawler maternal siblings?
No. Mystique isn't Rogues biological mother, just the woman who took her in after she ran away from home.
:I remember the cartoon revealing that Mystique was Rogue & Nightcrawlers mom, and I think Sabretooth was Nightcrawlers dad.
Mystique is Nightcrawler's mother, but not Rogue's. And Sabretooth isn't Nightcrawler's father. They have yet to reveal who is.
:Is any of this true? If so, I hope it's in X2
I loved the idea of Mystique being Nightcrawler's mother. I also hope it is in X2.
