This week we dive into the first X-Men movie. Highlights: we struggle to understand the motivations of Magneto and Xavier, wade through the history of the many characters who make appearances in the flick, speculate on why Wolverine is pissy, Cyclops is dickish, and Jean Gray is maybe a little boring (in the movie), note the differences in powers between men and women in X-Men and how it affects the way they fight, discuss the many sordid relationships in X-Men history, hear Sean’s why-Xavier-is-evil argument, and talk battle room, Storm’s sex life, bubble boobs, and comics as life inspiration.

If you haven’t been playing along with GWC’s Geek Deathmatches, there’s never been a better time to give ‘em a shot. The community needs your opinion on these two current (and classic) matchups:
The tale of the tape leans a bit toward The Last Starfighter‘s gunstar, as its reach and wallop seem to exceed that of the sleek viper. But is the viper more maneuverable? And what about the death blossom?
They both don’t care (much). They’re both mean bastards. But if placed in sealed room for a fight to the death, who out not-cares and out bastards who?
Enjoy.
