[Immortal Goat]

I, for one, am GLAD they changed so much from the comics. The comics are just that. Comics. The outlandish stories and multicolored costumes WORK in that medium. However, if you were to try and translate that onto real human beings and film a 2 hour movie, you'd get through maybe one issue of a series, and have a bunch of people onscreen looking more flamboyant than the goddamned cast of Cats.

This new take on the characters makes them seem more believable. Even if the powers are completely impossible, the characters seem more real this way. I don't want to see Juggernaut get his powers from some radioactive space crystal, I want something that actually fits into the world that they have created. I liked Pheonix, and I thought her background was explained well enough. Angel could have used more screentime, sure, but he still kicked ass, and the sequels will have more of him, I'm sure.

So, to all the comic book purists complaining about this movie, just stick with the books, because nothing can ever measure up to your hoplessly impossible fanboy standards.
