Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/
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.
ReplyDeleteNTW 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
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.
ReplyDeleteColossus'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.
ReplyDeleteHope to see more of her in the future. Loved the movie.
ReplyDeleteSo many awesome moments in that movie.
