I hated that scene. How about lift yourself and the ship out of harm's way? I think that'd be easier than trying to block millions of tons of water.

Jean Grey's abilities have always been a plot device, and are as strong/weak as needed to make a particular scene happen. She's like Dr. Strange in that respect, where if they make a film version his powers will not be identical to the comic book versions, where his power fluctuates depending on plot needs. If Jean Grey was as powerful as she is sometimes depicted in the comic books, in the movies? She could have stopped Magneto and all of his mutants by herself without breaking a sweat. But that makes for a boring film. I get that they were showing the limitations of the character, and wanted to blast off a Phoenix nutshot. But it really was just another Hollywood reason why a scene had to happen.

He is a bad ass. And on top of that, he has crazy sperm. Every kid he has with Jean is almost a omega level bad ass.

actually i'd say that his x-sperm is recessive and the only reasons the summers kids (rachel,cable) are near omega level is b/c of the grey genes, since they both have some sort of inherited tk/tp and eye glowing stuff, and nothing of cyclops.
when he does have a kid with emma, her name is ruby summers and she has optic blasts and can change into a ruby form (like emma).
i'd just say the grey x-genes are super dominant. aren't many of them alive tho, shi'ar death killed every grey except rachel, then cable is back and now time displaced jean grey.

He might be awesome in it, but that mask is fucking retarded. Oh, look you have an X over your face. Ugh.

Just read the amount of bad ass inhttp://marvel.com/universe/Cyclops_(Scott_Summers) there no wolverine's I'm immortal bullshit power. Just alpha as fuck.
Havent seen Days of future past. Im afraid that the movie is going to make me hate of my favorite comic storylines. Lets hope Age of apocalypse will make it to the big screen, WITH a screen play that follows the comics panel by panel!

if patrick stewart and ian mckellan and j-law and tyrion lannister and michael fassbender and james mcavoy are in your movie, you'd have to be a hugely shitty writer and director for them not to elevate it quite a bit
isn't age of apocalypse the next x-men with the younger cast? Kind of makes me sad that we will probably not see captain picard and gandalf reprise their x-men roles again

I agree but not just with Colossus. All of them need to step it up a notch. Iceman better do more than use his ice slide move in AoA.

I'm not sure how many times i've spoken to this but to beat the dead horse a bit more, Iceman is extremely powerful. In X-mean one he is immature and that is somewhat noted early on in the comic series but he's not a push over and he's not a junior high boy going through his first crush.

Iceman has spent FAR FAR FAR more time in publication shown as a mediocre power than what you currently see. And this has happened to a few mutants over time. People just made characters with whatever powers sounded cool, and 30-40 years later writers are coming in with more than elementary science knowledge and going "hey wait, do you realize what having this power REALLY will let you do?" You seriously have to allow for that.
