People really out here in the year 2021 trying to say that Fox-Men Storm was anything but trash? BIG YIKES! Fox-Men Storm is a cancer upon creation itself. A blight against Storm that literally spread to the comics and trickled down into popular coconscious. Fox-Storm is pretty much the anthesis of what comic Storm is in nearly ever aspect.
Let's see now -
X1 gave us: 0 leadership skills, 0 precision with powers, 0 speed with powers, getting owned by Toad (but so was Jean so I suppose Toad fans would be happy?), horrible dialog, and lastly running away from a puddle. A literal f***ing puddle.
X2 gave us: Still mostly useless but a cool tornado spam storm that had 0 accuracy and only accomplished half of the job. Praise be to the God Magneto for saving all their asses because Goddess forbid Storm generate an updraft to slow them down or even better actually fly the blackbird under her own power, Again taking 50years to summon a single lightning bolt in an enclosed area and couldn't even multitask catch a falling Nightcrawler. But hey, the blizzard power was improved I guess? Sabertooth was able to ignore it in X1 but here gave a telepath a literal brain freeze so I guess that's a plus? Goddess forbid she does something intricate like screw with his nervous system. Thank Goddess Nightcrawler has thick skin otherwise poor baby would have been an ice cube thanks to Ms. Munfaux's lack of control.
X3 gave us the best storm of the bunch but when the bar is that low even the Devil can't limbo under it.
Don't even get me started on the re-boot where the highlight of her AMPED ability was to rival Scott's optic blasts. And her personality is such weak sauce that she becomes a simp for Mystique and a ice machine when she's done wiping Mystique's ass with the wig Apocalypse gave her.

You know now that you mention it the two dark skinned characters died in the most facepalm way. Both of them died due to their powers! Darwin who is suppose to be able to adapt to anything to the point where he was IIRC formally an Omega level in that power. And let us not forget about good ol' Bishop! Because of course the mutant who can absorb energy and throw it back at you would be overloaded! But hey, at least we know that the Sententials work.

Exactly, that's why people can skip me on the fox men, they certainly didn't care about people of color so why should we.. How out of 40 actors the two darkest are the only ones killed by their own powers. I feel like they were forced to cast at least one or two dark people and we saw how that forced to cast worked out. Then you have the directors and their scandals running what is suppose to be a diverse open group of characters. The message was never going to be presented right.
edit: I won't even watch them on Disney+. lol

I just can't wait for the day when people say X-Men movies they aren't referring to the collective steampile that is the Fox-Verse.
[QUOTE=BatKeaton;5763189]The movies exist, and they are wonderful. The multiverse (XCM) exists, even in the MCU context, because Fox Xavier is set to appear on 'Dr. Strange 2'.
We're talking about Storm, I talked about Movie Storm, and it's proper and legit. As simple as that. If you don't like it, ignore my posts.[/QUOTE]
The Foxmen movies stopped being wonderful after X-Men 2 lol.
[QUOTE=Spiderfan001;5763347]A lot of movies nerf heroes so I didn't mind it.
They weren't great but I don't get the hate.Why do people hate Storm in this, she was avg. Nothing bad but not great either.[/QUOTE]
Well we knew after Bryan Singer couldn't get his 1st two actress pics Angela Basset or Janet to play the role of Storm that he just stopped giving af about her in general. Fans hated Storm in the Fox movies cause of the horrible wigs and the she just seemed weak and boring af. In the 2nd movie her making multiple tornadoes in the sky to destroy the jets was awesome but none of the jets should've been able to make it through. When the plane got hit Storm should've been able to stop the plane from crashing without Magneto's help when in the animated series she lifted up a whole damn building and dropped it on Juggernaut's head. Then the nerve of them to have Storm getting beat up by Callisto who all of a sudden had the speed of Flash

I honestly can't stop laughing at those little strings of what i think is suppose to be bangs.
And PLEASE don't let there be another japanese rendition of an xmen cartoon. My goodness that Storm was awful as well. But then anime/manga has a terrible track record with female characters which is why Noelle Silva is such a break out for me in black clover. Tabata don't play no games with his female characters.

This post had me screaming lol. I agree though movie Storm wasn’t anything compared to what we see in the comics she lacked everything important to the character. Still love the elevator scene though. I am so ready for them to recast Storm and I really hope they get it right this time. I know there are plenty of beautiful black queens out there but all the choices I wanted are already cast in the MCU and Titans respectfully. I need to hear something, I’m glad they are reigniting her in the comics which I hope plays a big role in the movies, don’t want another Wolverine, Xavier, Mags and Mystique fronted X-Men, though I do want a well done Destiny.
[QUOTE=starduck;5764535]Yeah, too much Wolverine and Mystique after that[/QUOTE]
It really pains me. But I also think before that at least in the FC series too much Magneto and Prof. X.
Women really got shafted, Storm especially, and even more since Raven isn't even really an X-Man outside that one little experiment and she always meant to betray them.
[QUOTE=starduck;5764535]Yeah, too much Wolverine and Mystique after that[/QUOTE]
that's what made me grow dislike for Wolverine. I never disliked him before. In fact I grew more like for him during the animated series on fox where he punched Cyclops bitch ass in the stomach when they left Beast behind. The movies ruined Wolverine for me by oversaturation. The really made him seem like the best X-men as if he could beat anybody. Magneto could recycle him at anytime and Storm would destroy him.

Lol and the thing that really irked me about that scene was that even at the end when Storm finally got the victory, you were still left wondering how. It couldn't have been from that stun gun tier lightning that was just hot enough to give us the comedic effect of Callisto's lip stud becoming super heated yet her actual body was still pristine. Also, why is it she took a whole 5 seconds to do the deed? Zap the mosquito and be done with the damn thing!

Anok Yai. She was my favorite "look book' model for Storm[I] before [/I]she did this look for Heidi's Halloween party a few years back. I think Ororo would have a few more pounds on her frame, but in terms of facial features and height: nearly perfect. She even has South Sudanese/Egyptian ancestry. I wouldn't necessarily say she should be cast as MCU Ororo, but Feige should look for an [B]actress[/B] who looks like her.

Since nothing is coming out of Storm (after Espada #8), I'm wondering about that, and what Brand is doing, who mentioned the name Ororo.
