I just watched X-Men 3 : The Last Stand, loved it, but of course, I have problems with sad endings. Not satisfied with killing Scott aka Cyclops, Brad Ratner (is that how he spells his name?) had to go and kill Prof. X and Jean Grey as well. Oops, was that a spoiler for those who havent watched the movie?

Anyhoot.. I did what I usually do when I watch movies. I go off tangent, and create my own storyline. This one with another female character (it has to be a her cos I want her to get jiggy with Wolverine, sweeeeeeett!!) who happens to be Prof. X’s long-lost daughter. I know, he actually has a son, but refer to the statement in brackets.

And anyway, this female character is a mutant class 7 (sue me if I got my mutant classifications wrong and there’s no class 7) named Xandra Xavier (short for Alexandra of course). Her mum’s French and her mum hid her because the mumsy doesn’t get mutants at all. Oh yeah, she’s French cos I don’t want her to have any qualms about getting jiggy with Wolverine who’s still hung up on Jean. Oh yeah, before I forgot, Xandra’s power is very much like Jean, but get this, Xandra can actually control her power and control other people’s mind as well. That’s why she’s the only Class 7 mutant on the planet earth.

I see my version of the X-Men as somewhat a collection of stories of all the X-Men, meaning, what’s the story behind Storm, what really happened to Logan, the friendship between Prof. X and Magneto, stuff like that you know. and moving parallel to that is how the new threat of a band of human who is out to annihilate the mutants. But get this, they’re doing it to steal the mutants’ power and take over the world themselves, bwahahahahahhhh!!

So enter Magneto, trying to mend his ways and do good with Xandra, cos you see, he was the reason why mumsy hid Xandra. He convinced mumsy that Xandra’s mutant power is so powerful, so deadly, that Charles might even have to kill her, in order to save humanity of course. So, misguided mumsy went on into hiding, actually fearing for her baby’s life. Magneto in this movie is of course no longer a mutant, but he helps by offering his expertise to the band of mutant-power-stealing human. His expertise, that is, in knowing more about mutants than any human on the planet.(I mean, he was a mutant, ya know..)

Cut the story short, X-men saves the day. Xandra took a bullet to save Wolverine that everyone knows can save himself (cos his mutant power is rapid regeneration, that’s why the military implanted the adamantium steel into his body, he is the only living thing on the planet that can regenerate fast enough to cope with the injury that has to be inflicted to implant the adamantium in the first place. Yes, a common misconception that Wolverine’s mutant power is his adamantium claws) but Xandra somehow forgot. This is when Wolverine knew that what Xandra felt for him is more than that something you feel when you wanna get jiggy with someone.

But you know what, since this is my story, I ain’t gonna let Xandra die. Nope, she lives and married Logan. They had kids, run the Xavier School for Talented Youngsters and lived happily ever after. Oh yeah, now they get jiggy with it anytime they want.

YAYY!!
