The point was, the writers don't have them using their powers correctly, whatever level they may be. Jean could have held the dam together. The strain from that could have triggered the Phoenix in her and set up the next movie. Storm (or Jean) could have flown everyone to safety. All of this could be done.

To me, the Blackbird stalling is akin to a car not starting in a Jason movie. That's hokey.

>Comics and movies are seperate, just like they should
>be...

The story lines can and should be seperate. The abilities of the characters should be consistent. Example, I have no problem with Halle's Storm, cause I remember when Storm was unsure about her powers. She guarded her emotions tightly, so that she wouldn't loose control. That's consistant with what I understand of the character. Wolverine is 6' plus, but it doesn't bother me, cause his character's demeanor is close enough to what I know of the character.

>making a movie straight from the comics would be pretty
>stupid not to mention impossible.

In todays world, nothing is impossible. See Lord of the Rings...
