I don't think the movie Kurt was completely horrific...:cracked *twitch twitch* I would have also definately changed the teeth. They should have been normal with sharp vampire-like fangs. :D and maybe the eyes too...the hair also looked as if it had been spray painted blue...ok I will stop now. Alan Cumming still did a great job though...

I agree, Alan did an amazing job with the charicter but the look was all wrong. I wanted fuzz and better hair. Way better hair. It looked like it was spiked or something. I think they were going for untamed curls, which would have been cute, but they were way off. So basicly the eqation is this...
Movie Kurt - scars X (fuzzy X 27 *about* for each year he should have it but apparently didn't) + (hot curls - hair gel) = way better Kurt.
I think the sience behind it is sound enough. You can always trust math.... I did almost fail algebra though.

If i could change 1 thing about Kurt, it would be that he was the most popular X-man... above and beyond Wolverine! I don't know how I could expand on that...

Movie Kurt needs fur. Comic Kurt needs to start to carry his sword around again.

I was already pretty expansive... *idly wonders what Kurt would be like if he'd never been written by Claremont* Hmm. I'll go with that!

I am one of the five people on the planet who hasn't seen X2, so I can't comment.

I like Evo kurt just the way he is. I don't know, I just think he's so cute :)

For comic kurt, hmm, I guess I'd like to just like to turn back time and bring back his old excalibur self. No priesthood, no retcons of priesthoodness, no demon-but-not-really-daddy, just swashbuckling sword carrying kurt dropped into Uncanny X-men out of some dimensional hole.

Unfortunately, that would mean there were two kurts, so to expand on that one thing, I guess I'd just have to confiscate Uncanny Kurt for myself. Just to alleviate the confusion, that's all... really... :shifty

Maybe all those scars in the movie are his penance for all the homosexual yearnings which are forbidden by his ghastly twisted idea of religion.

I would probably change the fact that he was ever a priest. I never really agreed with the concept of Kurt being a man of the cloth depsite his deeply religious beliefs.

Sorry, but Kurt is a straight lady's man and always has been. Changing that would completely ruin the character for me (and a number of others as well)

yeah.. that was kinda like a stab at people, Drastic... And if it was for that, I don't think Chuck would have had him making out with Amanda in the Movie comic prequel.

In the movie, I would give Kurt more confidence! This is a character that always is sure of himself (or is at least fairly cocky :D) in any situation.

It was only a crack at your religion if you think God wants you to cut your body to ribbons as penance.

Movie Crawler is theoretically Catholic, but he seems to have added his own crazy little twists borrowed from the Dark Ages. Brrr.

It suggests something akin to self-flaggelation that some Catholics (and other Christians to a lesser extent I guess) practised in centuries before. I just dont know if Kurt was that zealous...

Comic book Kurt just needs to be a little more happy these days and that nots really him so much as the writers...

I mean he has gone through dark times iof the soul before (like when he met the Beyonder) but lately he has seemed so "off".

Bring back the swashbuckler.

Again, I say, Nighty was never meant to be that religious. The writers just began throwing that in there, fairly abruptly, actually. Despite this, it's all over now, and if I could change one thing about the original comic Nighty, I wouldn't. He's absolutely perfect just the way he is. As far as the others, well I would say I'd make them more like the real Kurt, but in the end, I think, they're who they are, and he's who he is, and that's probably best.

More emphasis on his skills with the sword and make him fight like movie Kurt other than tht he's pretty cool but I'd like them to totally remove the priest thing not like it happened and then was resolved but as in it never happened to begin with.I'm not adverse to him being religous but becoming a priest is too much.

He's gone back to his old oyutfit or something similar so no problems with his gear but I wish he carried a sword.
