From what I've seen, opinions on their marriage are super polarized. I kinda get some of the appeal, but as someone who'd possibly put both in my top 10 favorite Marvel characters, I think making Storm an African queen is a terrible use of the character. She's my second favorite mutant (after Wolverine) and my second favorite WOC in comics (after Ms Marvel). She's too fantastic a character to be relegated to Black Panther's supporting cast. The X-Men are a better team with her in a prominent role.
I think we've had this conversation before, but yeah, Storm is easily the character they've dropped the ball on the most. In a perfect world, the X-Men franchise would essentially be treated like a series of solo films, with different characters taking turns being the main character while the rest act as the supporting cast. You'd have a Wolverine story, then a Storm story, then Kitty Pryde, Rogue, Cyclops, Jubilee, Nightcrawler, etc.
Man, I dunno. Cyclops got it the worst IMO. Not that Storm was done well, but at least she had things like screen time, lines, fight scenes and small stuff like that lol.
I knew someone would mention Cyclops, lol. He's a close second, and I can see a case for him being first. While Last Stand treated him worse than Storm has ever been treated, though, I think they've gotten closer to getting a version of Scott right (in that mess that was Apocalypse) than they ever have for Ororo.
That is true, I thought Storm was going to be awesome in Apocalypse because of her look and shots of her in the trailer looked awesome. That is all we got though is what was in the trailer Edit: Same with Psylocke
Man, Olivia Munn was such a cool Psylocke, in spite of being given literally nothing to work with, inexplicably used as a villain, and wearing a costume made by a sex shop. She really needs to reprise the role, maybe in the X-Force film they're developing.
My favorite thing about Olivia Munn as Psylocke was how excited she was about the role. Her enthusiasm could've brought a lot more to the table if they gave her a chance.
So did anyone else jump out of their seat when that Black Panther trailer dropped during the game? I had no idea that was coming
Oh, man, I am 100% all in on this. Most anticipated comic book film, and it's not even close. This showed so little but already has me certain that Coogler is gonna hit it out of the part. Some sick visuals here. Pretty funny to me that they open with Everett Ross talking to Klaw.
