X-Men 3: (*Spoilers*)!!! AAAAAAAAAGHHH!!!

[Beetwasher]

Ok, I saw this movie a week ago and it was ok, but I didn't sit through the credits and I just read that Prof X comes back at the end of the credits??? WTF??? Can someone explain to me what I missed??? Was there anything else I missed?

1. I didn't stick around for it either.

But apparently he wakes up in the body of that "comatose" mutant they described in the beginning of the movie.

Kind of a dumb way to write Patrick Stewart out of the movies. Why'd he leave anyway? It was successful and I thought he liked that sort of thing.

2. I Don't Remember Them Describing Comatose Mutant

:shrug:

3. It's in a class lecture back at the Mutant Academy.

Storm or Jean or somebody is showing a video to a class of Dr. Moira MacTaggert (an old X-men character, if you haven't read the comic book) giving medical treatment to comatose patient. Apparently this subject's mutant power turns him into a vegetable. The teacher then, in a truly remarkable piece of fore-shadowing, describes how a dying mutant telepath could transfer his/her soul into the subjects body upon death- but that's all hypothetical.

6. Thanks!

4. That's about it... (spoiler below)

There was a brief scene early on in the movie where Prof X was teaching a class about ethics.
Dr. Moira McTaggert was on a video screen describing a person in a comatose state, and the Prof
was discussing how ethical it would be to transfer a dying person's mind into the comotose person
to "save their life."

The scene didn't play for more than 45 seconds, so if you blinked, you probably missed it.
But it's a way to get Prof X back into the franchise, should they choose to do another movie.

As far as I know, Patrick Stewart loves playing Professor Xavier, and I belive he'd love to do
another movie. And with the not-so-subtle hint with Magneto at the end of the movie, I have to
belive someone will want to film "X-Men 4: The Really Last Stand"

On edit: Bornaginhooligan above described it a bit better.

5. Yeah, And We Never Really Saw

Cyclops die either, just saw him dying. Would they even DARE to bring Jean back from the dead AGAIN??? :shrug:

Thanks, I remember the scene now actually.

[Broken_Hero]

7. they

didn't show him dying either, I don't think...its just portrayed that way, but i beleive proffesor x, reads jean's mind, and knows it to be true, but we never saw a death...or correct me if i'm wrong?

[Beetwasher]

8. I Thought They Showed Jean Killing Him

At the lake, but we didn't actually see him die...:shrug:

[Broken_Hero]

10. I dont' remember

seeing him die, i remember, her telling him to open his eyes, and...and!! they cut to something else...probably the mansion...:(

[Bucky]

9. I think Cyclops ends up assuming a new identity and marrying Lois Lane

[Broken_Hero]

11. a winner!...:) n/t

[Cannikin]

12. Regarding Magneto

His moving of the chess piece. Is the 'cure' wearing off or is Magneto weakened to that point ?

[ChickMagic]

13. Is THAT what happened??

I could not figure out what the deal was with the chess board. I totally
missed that he moved the chess piece.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

15. Yeah, the chess piece wiggled.

Implying that while Magneto might not be the villain in the next one, he might be back.

14. Fox has already confirmed that there will be an X-Men 4.

Like the X-Men comic books, the story is going to wander away from the mutants in the first three movies and start focusing on some of the others. One of the reasons the X-Men comic books have so many fans is the never ending supply of mutants, and related stories to go along with them. The movies started with the "core", but starting with 4 will begin a new story arc that focuses on others. I haven't seen any comments about which mutants will be in the fourth movie, but I'd guess that they'll be "students" from the first three. Because Xavier is so central to the comic books, I'm sure they'll figure out some way to bring him back (in the comic books, he was killed and resurrected several times).

The work on a Wolverine movie has already started too, and the head of Fox has mentioned that they're in the early stages of a Magneto movie (focusing on Magneto and Xavier when they were younger).

Personally, I'm waiting for a Silver Surfer movie...he was always my favorite :) And lucky me, there's a Fantastic $ & Silver Surfer movie coming next year! Unfortunatly it will focus on the coming of Galactus when SS was a bad guy :(
