That is one of the best trailers I've ever seen, fan-made or otherwise. That... was... EPIC! Even with clips from an unbearable atrocity like "X-Men: The Last Straw", you made this look like one of the best movies EVER. My sole complaint was that I would've liked to have seen Rogue at least once, since she, like Cyclops, was grossly underused in the X-Men films. Maybe we'll see Rogue in a second Phoenix Rising trailer (fingers crossed)? Other than that, keep up the GREAT work! :D
HAHAHA! That's brilliant! Thanks for the kind words. As for Rogue, I love the character, but I didn't really have a lot of footage to choose from as she didn't do anything in X3. Personally, I would have had her acquire Ms Marvel's powers in X3. If I do more with this in the future, I'll be sure to include her in some way though :)
@ShadesAtKnight - Wow, thanks for the reply back, buddy! If you do make a second Phoenix Rising trailer (again, fingers crossed), I guess if you wanted to use Rogue, you could use some of the clips of her from the Danger Room like when Colossus giving her his powers at the beginning of "The Last Straw" to make it look like she was in the final battle. And yeah, I would've loved to have seen Rogue get Miss Marvel's powers too. It's too bad she never got them in X3.
Cool video, but isn't this what Bryan Singer had intended for an X-Men 3? Adding the Dark Phoenix Saga with the Hellfire Club and Gambit? Either way this is a cool trailer, on par with WhiplashDynamo's X-Men 3 trailer
@ForrestFilms It may indeed be what Bryan Singer had intended, but that's because that's what happened in the comic. I think that he wanted Emma Frost to be much older though, and be an past love of Xavier. He wanted Sigourney Weaver in the role.
@ShadesAtKnight So why didn't Bryan Singer stick with that plan instead of jumping ship and going to Warner Bros. to make "Superman Returns"?!?!?!? Awesome trailer by the way!
@MtSKiDRevolution Well, I liked the idea of doing the black suit, but if they couldn't properly fit in Venom, then I would have completely saved him for a potential "Spider-Man 4". I would've had Peter and MJ actually act like a real people in a relationship (face their problems instead of crying about them), and probably drop Sandman and make Harry Osborn the main villain. They tried to make Sandman a more central character by being Uncle Ben's murderer, but it just feels too contrived to me.
@ShadesAtKnight Well with rumours that floated around about Spider-Man 4 having Vulture be the main villain didn't look to bright in my opinion. But the thing that really worried me about a possible fourth film would be the other rumour of introducing Felicia Hardy, only not to have her become the Black Cat but instead a new character called the "Vultress". That sounded like it could flop, so I guess we'll never know if Spidey 4 would've saved the series, or butcher it completely.
@ShadesAtKnight I would also love to see your take on Spider-Man 3 (a suggestion for a title - 'The Black Suit'). I agree that I would have dropped Sandman and focused on either the Eddie Brock standoff or the Harry Osborn revenge plot, saving Venom for a fourth film if it were the latter. And I'd actually have let Peter and MJ get married at last as per the comics (though I wouldn't have said no to having a take on Felica Hardy/Black Cat in the Spidey films!)
In one trailer you have done a better job than Brett Frickin' Ratner ever could. Marsden is awesome what he done with what little he got in X-Men is amazing. The scene you used with Logan one of the best. Cyclops getting over his grief and doing whats needed for the greater good thats a movie I want to see. Fantastic dude!
You are simply THE BEST!!! This is how X3 should have been! With Cyclops and Phoenix as centers characters like the real comic! Thank you Shades for this.
For me is the perfect fan-trailer ever!!!! Simply a masterpiece :)
@jeanscott20 Funny enough, I actually searched through every X-Men TAS episode that The Phoenix appeared in to try and get a Phoenix sound effect, but there was always music or a lot of other noise in the background. So I desperately searched the internet for a Phoenix cry, and got that one.
Shades, you always let me speechless! I was close to tears because of the emotion and tragedy element (melody and edit) you put it in, plus your trailer is what every true X-Men fan especially every Phoenix/Cyclops fan wanted for X3; this is the perfect tribute to one of the most greatest comics in history! Amazing!!!!
Even though I think X3 is a genuinely good, if somewhat flawed, film and this practically oozes Cyclops fandom, this looks like it would be a better movie.
THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! THIS IS HOW X3 SHOULD HAVE BEEN!!! Literally, when I heard that the story was going to be based on the Dark Phoenix Saga, I imagined something like this, but instead we got X3. This is GREAT!!! Brilliance at work! Cannot believe my eyes! Favorited. Liked. Amazing stuff! Merry Christmas Shades!
WOW! This is way better than anything regarding X-Men 3!(Atleast for Cyclops), I love you had had that romantic dynamic between them, almost to make it seem like they're the main characters, and then he's the one to finally take a shot at her in the end! Brilliant, man. Brilliant!
@SouperboyX Thank you very much man! I've gotta say, I wasn't planning on uploading this today (as I still had a couple of things to tweek), but your Worlds Finest trailer inspired me to finish it and do so. Thanks! :)
@ShadesAtKnight that was absolutely amazing, really gave me chills, man. Brilliant work! I loved how you featured Cyclops more as a main character, I liked X3 but this would've been AMAZING!
Ahhhh, the 'Hellfire Club' stroy arc...
Yeah, that would've been WAY better than the way Shaw was shoe-horned into Magneto's origin story.
