I was so obsessed with Pokemon as a child that the teacher had to confiscate all my stuff so I'd pay attention in class. :(
I went to a Christian elementary school and they banned Pokemon from the school because they said the games were promoting the concept of evolution.

Like those assholes could stop us from playing Pokemon at school.
 
It's okay. Just calm down and breathe with me.

Come play my game, I'll test ya.

I didn't play my first Pokemon game until I was in my 30s. My daughter was really into it as was my wife. I decided I'd get my own copy when soul silver came out so I could play with them and was amazed that it was actually a really well put together game

I played one on the DS, but couldn't really get into it.
 
I once met a friends little brothers friend. He said he remembers seeing us in high school in his first year: "You were the guys always playing Mariokart on GBA in the back of the class".

LOL that's hilarious.

Especially given how pokemon "evolution" works LOL.

Oh you weird americans with your anti-evolution attitude.
 
So, I tried the online dating thing last week...
Kids have it so easy these days, but I guess so do I now. Good a friend suggested I give it a shot.
 
Meh. Duckroll already said that this was just the 70's design so they'll look different later.

Toad is weird. They put Toad in and yet Cyclops and Gambit get the shaft. :/

Exactly.

Singer I don't understand you. Or why people like you.

Usual Suspects was a good opening, alright middle and a dumb ending.

Everything else...I really don't care about.
 
K now I'm heading to bed. Sooo tired.

I really liked First Class. But I don't read comics so I don't know what they 'fucked up' compared to the source.

First Class isn't too bad and is a lot more faithful comic wise.

X-2 was a great superhero movie but it was still lacking a bigger role from Cyclops who in the comics is the leader. In the movies, they're forcing Wolverine just because he's so popular which is annoying.

Anway there's been certain big members missing for a while. Angel, Gambit, Kitty, etc. Then there's characters who roles have basically been diminished aka Cyclops who it looks like at the moment isn't even in the movie. He's supposed to be very close to Xavier.
 
I guess it's a lot easier to enjoy these movies if you know nothing about the source. Missing characters or characters with a smaller role than they should have can't bother me.

I know from watching films of which I've read the books that if things are different from the source it's not cool :P
 
Oh I know. I'm talking about older comics. I'm not really expecting the movies to follow new storylines.

I don't even read many new comics anymore.
Get pumped for the new Wolverine series, bub! He lost his healing factor AGAIN! He has GUNS now! Isn't that EXTREEEEEEEEEEME?????

Comics are especially hard because there is so much for film makers to draw from that pleasing every comic fan is impossible. Most comic movies aren't literal adaptations of certain runs.

Days of Futures Past is a famous story though so this is carrying all the baggage that that brings.
 
I never cared about movies being faithful to the source in the extreme. If I want something 100% like the original, I'll read the original.

As long as you get the basics right (costume, origin, villains, etc.) and make a good movie, I'm cool.

In the comics right now Cyke and Chawles aren't exactly best bros.....

No one was best bros with Charles in recent years until Phoenix-clops scattered his ashes to the winds. Now he's the Mutant Messiah and everyone can't stop calling Cyclops "Hitler" to his face.

Buncha haters, I tell you.

Thanks and yes it's an otter. I would have liked a pic where one of the parrots bit my eye, but I wasn't ready to go through a lot of pictures.
So now I'm ready for february :)
