Gambit would've been sweet. I love Gambit. Apparently they asked what's his name, who plays Sawyer on LOST to do him, but he thought the characters were too similar and didn't want to get typecast (Huwhat?) SO, they scrapped the character entirely for the movie.
See, the story I heard was that he was just crazy busy with Lost and all. But yours makes sense also.
... 'sides which, Jean dies a whole ton of times, so it's okay... just surprised me more than anything.
I never read the comic books, I just watched the TV show off and on. Jean always annoyed me, because it just seemed like she was always like "I could help! ... But my POWERS. They're OUT OF CONTROL. I could HURT someone ... so I'll just sit by helplessly and angst for Wolverine without Scott getting jealous." Stupid Scott.
I've never been much of a Superman Super-fan (and, OMG is there a story behind that nickname I had)
Story! Story! :-)
And, Oh yeah, WTF did we need Kitty Pride in this movie for?
Personally, I think she was there so we could have the line "Don't you know who I am? I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!" (Speaking of awesome portrayals.) She just bugged me because I wanted to see a catfight between her and Rogue, which would have consisted of Rogue wiping the floor with him.
Rogue getting the cure made sense, but it really still felt to me like she just did it because Iceman was being an idiot (btw, is he stupid or what?). It felt like she was angsting rather than getting fed up with life in general.
And yeah, Beast pretty much kicked ass all over the place. 'Cause he's awesome like that. Although being a politics dork, the scene with him getting named UN ambassador made me want to see that scene.
