Movies:
Alright so this one is a no brainer since in the X-Men movie the X-Men fought the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants
though in X2 there was no real "Brotherhood" sice Mystique and Magneto were on their own till Pyro joined the show (couldn't
we all see that comming?) so we'll concentrate only on the first movie
So the movie Brotherhood didn't have that original of a plan it was a typical comic scheme but it was cool to see
the Brotherhood on the big screen (actually i first saw the movie on TV but most saw it first on the big screen). It was the
second movie that got me into the Brotherhood though seeing Magneto kick butt was just so cool and that's where my love for
the Brotherhood began. Back to the first movie though don't you think that Magneto looks like Senator Palpatine in the
Star Wars series? On another side note Toad (Ray Park) was in it playing the part of Darth Maul but as we all know that role
only got him one paycheck. The Brotherhood though doesn't get high marks for fashion, Magneto's 30's football player, Mystique's
Lil' Kim dress, and Sabertooth's hobo outfit didn't impress me much as their comic attire does.
X3 is comming out in May 2006. Got some new pictures. Lineup will include Magneto, Mystique, Pyro,
Juggernaut, Callisto, Arclight, Multiple Man, Quill, and Pheonix. So enjoy, new updates wil be made when more info is in hand.
TV:
Everyone loves to watch (or is it addicted?) to TV and Marvel uses TV to show their
heros to the auidence as a whole and get kids (and sadly sometimes adults) to buy their toys. The X-Men have had two TV series
the last of which ended in 2003 and each had a Brotherhood in it. In the original series the Brotherhood appeared only in
two episodes in the whole five season run of the series while in the next X-Men TV show the Brotherhood had five
appearences in the first season. In the second X-Men series the Brotherhood played a much larger role while in the first series
the Brotherhood was mostly unofficial, they never mention the term Brotherhood but when you have Pyro, Blob, Avalanche, Mystique,
and Destiny working together it's a given.
