Panels/Pages you wish could be live-action!

[Subliminally]

The title is pretty self explanatory! In the X-Universe what panels/pages would you love to see on the big screen? For the sake of imagination, pretend that the budget is top dollar so no worries about it looking like a horrible adaptation. It can be anything from a single moment to a whole fight!

Here's a few I'd love to see:

Storm vs Vulcan





Master of Magnetism vs Wolverine's metal bones


Galactus vs Odin

[Subliminally]

Jean vs Knull

[Alex.]

Starting from this until the end of the issue.

Oh this is gonna be fun. Right off the top of my head this entire epic fight.

[Frobisher]

That panel where it zooms out to show Magneto watching the X-Men on a screen, and then zooms out again to show Eric The Red watching Magneto watching the X-Men on a screen.

Can we extend this topic to cartoons too?

I think the life action medium (films too short, shows too small in budget) is too limited, both to allow enough characters who might have awesome moments the chance to appear in first place and in lengths of stories and build up to give certain scenes the gravitas they require.

Meanwhile cartoons have a lot more freedom in both regards. If there was finaly a new X-men show that can run longer than a season that is.

Definitely, my choice would be...

Brood Trouble in the Big Easy

[Uncanny X-Man]

This done right.

I'd love to see the climactic battle between the X-Men and Orchis from Powers of X/House of X up on the silver screen. It's one of the best action sequences I've ever seen in comic books. I think it would work really well, if done in a similar visual style to Sunshine (Sci Fi flick directed by Danny Boyle).

The big battle at the conclusion of X of Swords. The Starlight Citadel, the demon horde, Isca turning, Betsy Corps, all of it.

That time Magneto tore Cable in half, because Nathan had successfully won over the next generation of mutants and pried them away from Erik… cool scene.

Maybe overshadowed a bit by what came later in the same event, with Magneto tearing the adamantium from Logan’s bones — a status quo change which lasted an amazing six years, by the way! — but an awesome scene in its own right and very symbolic of their relationship, with Cable presenting a “middle ground” between Xavier and Magneto that was basically where we find ourselves today in Krakoa if you think about it… “we have the right to a place on this planet, and if you don’t start no $#!t there won’t be no $#!t” basically.

So, essentially, Cable was right.

I feel like Hellion lurking in the bushes/behind a tree would be even funnier in live action, especially if there's a huge budget going into it.

Easy choice for me

[H-E-D]

By now, I'm mostly over the drive to see moments in live action. After all, you never see it in reverse. It feels like a strange reification of some notion of live-action film as a superior medium.

That being said... Cyclops' "I want this thing off my lawn" moment from Astonishing would translate really well.
