If 'Rogue Cut' means we lose Kitty (Ellen Page ) then count me out entirely.

EDIT: Although, just read an interesting theory...

Spoiler

The scene where Wolverine stabs Kitty while flailing wildly causes Rogue to materialise from..... Somewhere. Rogue takes Kitty's power which kills Kitty, and Rogue takes over as the time travel, mind-melt jobber.

Well, Kitty ain't exactly a great character either. And on the annoying scale- Ellen Paige rates higher than Anna Paquin.

 

[C.C. 95]

I'll stick to the regular cut thanks. Dont agree with them trying to re-sell the same film with footage that should have been in in the first place. Plus I much prefer the HMV design over this one where Wolverine is getting shafted by Magneto in much the same way Fox are trying to shaft everyone else

It's not added footage as much as different footage. The story will apparently be altered.

 

[C.C. 95]

It'd probably be alright without Wolverine squeezing out an air biscuit on the front.

C'mon....it makes sense. He is pooping on Magneto.

Why would Rogue...

Spoiler: Movie spoiler

be the one capable of sending wolverine back in time? I understand why kitty pride is able to do what she does, so why would Rogue be there? It's Rogue's ability to steal mutant powers and adopt mutant powers that would only make her relevant in the earlier timeline. Mystique can mimic appearances, but she cant mimic powers. That's why I assumed the Rogue cut wouldn't work, because she's too young to of been alive back in the late 60s and 70s.

AFAIK there's a scene where after Kitty gets impaled, Rogue is rescued from the Xavier mansion (being used as a mutant prison) so that she can take Kitty's powers and carry on keeping Wolverine in the past, thus saving the present. If Kitty dies, it doesn't matter as long as Wolverine is successful in stopping Mystique.

I hate it when they don't do a 3D of the extended editions. It's the same with Avatar - you can't ever own an "ultimate" version

It is because they go through the 3D conversion after they have locked the final cut. Why would they convert all the footage on the cutting room floor?

Well Wolverine is a short character in the comics, perhaps that's being conveyed in the artwork. I'm starting to like the idea of the Fugly steel awards with this as a candidate, got to assume this is TBC artwork (if you can call it artwork), yes?

 

[George Pearce]

I can't buy this with that artwork ,why didn't they just do a completely fresh take and put on rogue with the likes of quicksilver ,bishop ,colossus and warpath etc . Something different

 

[nekromantik]

Same here, Im gonna pass.
Prefer the HMV steel of the theatrical cut.
Will get amray of this unless there is a WWE SB or digipack etc from somewhere else.

 

[AtticusFinch]

Not a fan of that artwork at all. Huge step down compared to the original release's steelbook.

 

[George Pearce]

Should send a link of this thread to fox PR dept and see what they make of it ,money talks in this world and if we're not representative of the steelbook buying public I don't know who is . Somebody somewhere at FOX was probably given a choice of artwork and this is what they decided on ..,,,,shame

 

[bonakaze]

Really don't like the artwork. Would be cool to habe the same art style of the Frist class one.

 

[DADDYCOOL187]

AWESOME........

Spoiler

Money saved!!!

 

[xenith25]

Easy pass for me

 

[steelbobawny]

Well then, there is no need to purchase this, what a disappointment this release is, this is one of the occasions I will go for the standard release.

The standard release of the rouge cut Blu-ray is the same artwork but has red instead of blue

 

[keyjey]

Fox always manages to put Wolverine on the front in some weird way. WTF is he doing, playing jumping beans?

 

[Danzigg1979]

Yeah it's a little meh but its x-men and I'm a sucker for the X-Men, looking forward to watching this.

 

[psychoscot]

Garbage art, no 3D. Think I'll just find "other" ways to watch it. Amaray is just as bad. Not giving Fox a penny for this guff!
