I actually liked First Class, unless you're talking about Origins

Anyway, I still enjoy X2, it's a fun movie. The problem was that they were well aware of Wolverine's popularity, so they made the movies about him, even when he wasn't part of the plot or originally a bit player in the original story.
I like Wolverine as much as the next guy, but the more interesting stories concerning Nightcrawler and Angel and his father were put on the sidelines to have 2 more Wolverine films disguised as X-Men films, and that's where my anger with the film series stems from.

But seriously, Beast's powers are the most realistic when it comes to real hereditary mutations, even if his fur is blue.

It's really the speed of both the antidote (Beast's hand immediately loses it's fur and claws when in the vicinity of Leech, who the antidote is derived from), and the mutation (Beast immediately grows the fur back mere seconds later once pulled away from Leech). It's confusing, and makes things more confusing if Magneto's declarations of "Homo Superior" are true and mutants are actually a subspecies, not just a mutation.
But that's getting too scientific.
Why didn't we get the Morlocks in the movies?
