Gambit Vs William Stryker : Who Is Too Good To Be Hannibal Lector?

Trained as a thief, gambit is an amoral mercenary who will give his services to the highest bidder. he appears to have a soft spot for rogue (originally meant only as a nod to their relationship in the comics), especially during the season 4 episode, "cajun spice", in which he kisses his favorite playing card (the queen of hearts, his "lucky lady") during a train journey and then gives her this same card at the end, but whether or not he has a sincere affection for her is unconfirmed. however, in the final sequence at the end of the series, gambit was seen as part of the extended team of x-men, with an arm around rogue.

And danny huston's take on william stryker was just not on par with bryan cox's portrayal of the character in x2, as huston portrayed stryker as a pathetic, cowardly adversary rather than a cunning, scheming opposer. that doesn't mean all the casting is bad, for lynn collins was triumphant as wolvy's love interest kayla silverfox and tim pocock was decent as young scott summers/cyclops, helping the mutants escape stryker's lab and get recruited by charles xavier in one of patrick stewart's finest cameos. one of the film's prominent highlights is the action.

(former rock video director tarsam singh would draw more explicit 'mental illness as pop video' comparisons in the cell, which actually starred a pop star, in j-lo.) creepy as all hell, manhunter encapsulated the maggoty heart of a decade in which surface appearance (and manhunter was all about appearances, real, imagined or stolen) was paramount - until american psycho pulled off the same trick a few years later.yet manhunter's ace-in-the-straitjacket-sleeve was actually a peripheral character; the brilliant but insane psychiatrist dr hannibal lecter (here 'lecktor'), played by brian cox, all dead shark eyes and twitchy malevolence.by the time silence of the lambs, rolled round, lecter had been prodded closer toward centre stage, with anthony hopkins replacing cox, kick-starting a 'who's the better lecter' debate which has occupied film buffs for years. hopkins' interpretation turned lecter into the stuff of penny dreadfuls, a freddy krueger quipster or high-iq jason vorhees.

Archive footage of brian cox's portrayal as william stryker in x2: x-men united is used in wolverine's flashback. singer cameos as a man with a small film camera as magneto walks away after mystique's escape in paris. in a post-credits scene, brendan pedder portrays the ancient mutant, en sabah nur.
