X-Men: The Last Stand: Difference between revisions

 

The third movie in the [[X-Men (Film)|X-Men]] series involves someone finding a "cure" for mutant genes, causing Magneto to start recruiting for a mutant uprising. Also, Jean Grey [[Unexplained Recovery|gets better]] (guys, [[It Was His Sled]]!), but evidently [[Came Back Wrong]], because now she can kill you with her brain. Rogue takes the cure voluntarily, on grounds that she [[Can't Have Sex Ever]]. The X-Men move to defend the cure-making facility from Magneto's forces, and eventually "cure" him, which puts an end to his crusade. Unfortunately, Jean stays [[Ax Crazy]], so Wolverine has to kill her, after which he returns to the Xavier Mansion to help Storm lead the next generation of X-Men.

* [[Adaptational Villainy]]: Psylocke.

* [[Advertised Extra]] / [[Billing Displacement]]: Angel is featured heavily in all the promotional material. He only has two or three scenes: he refuses the cure and {{spoiler|saves his father's life}} during the final battle. He does nothing in between.

** The same can be said of Colossus - he has one line (which is actually shorter than his one line in ''X-Men 2'') and he's really only in the film for the [[Fastball Special]].

* [[All There in the Manual]]: To explain things that weren't explained in the movie itself (such as why Nightcrawler was absent), a video-game was made that took place between X2 and X-Men: The Last Stand that filled in the gaps.

* [[Bar Code Tattoo]]: Magneto's katzetnik, used to show off his history of being mistreated.

* [[Beard of Sorrow]]: Cyclops displays a stubbly beard while in mourning.

* [[Both Sides Have a Point]]: When the heroes are discussing taking the cure.

* [[Magic Pants]]: Wolverine survives the telekinetic disintegration due to his [[Good Thing You Can Heal|healing factor]]. How his pants also survive...

* [[Masquerade Maintenance]]: Angel cutting off his wings.

* [[Never Say Die]]: An unusual in-universe example. When Wolverine is questioning Jean about {{spoiler|what happened to Cyclops}}, she refuses to actually say he died. How much of this is guilt or foreshadowing is up to interpretation.

* [[Older Than They Look]]: [[Ellen Page]] as Kitty Pride falls under this.

* [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart Anyway]]: Kid Omega/Quill has the ability to extend quills from his body. He seems to think [[Heart Is an Awesome Power]], but he manages to use his power once... to kill a lone, crying doctor by giving her a hug.

* [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]]: Jean Grey as The Phoenix.
