NTW is, from my googling, one of those third string mutant background characters seen in some of the x-books, though I think in the comics her powers are sort of generically psychic, rather than amusingly (and appropriate to her name) explosive.
I heard the writers were looking through a list of available characters, saw the name, and without knowing anything about the character put her in the movie.
Colossus's giant boy scout routine was great. Pointing out Angel Dust's wardrobe malfunction and getting sucker punched for it was one of the best scenes in the movie.
Where did it all go wrong, Casey? I can’t pinpoint it, but it was already too late when they remade 3:10 to Yuma and took a movie that was mostly two men talking about morality in a hotel room and put in a Gatling gun.
This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
I pretty much had Pool's reaction when I heard about the character.
ReplyDeleteI just figured she was Boom-Boom with a less shitty name.
ReplyDeleteI thought she was Cannonball from the preview.
ReplyDeleteShe was from Grant Morrison's New X-Men run.

ReplyDeleteCasey G.
ReplyDeleteI totally would have done that
"What's it going to be, mean comment or sullen silence?"
ReplyDelete"...ok, you got me in a box here."
She was great, as was Colossus.

ReplyDeleteHope to see more of her in the future. Loved the movie.
ReplyDeleteSo many awesome moments in that movie.
