Great article Sora!

I probably wouldnt bother with this as I've read the story dozens of times and pretty much know it off by heart, lol, but if anyone wants to put it up on YouTube I'll check it out! ;)

Astonishing X-Men is my favorite comic run in recent history.. I have all of the Whedon original issues. This, I must see.

I don't know what it is but I just don't like motion comics. It's like they have a group of people too lazy to fully animate material for people too lazy to go out and read the actual comics. So they birth this motion comic stuff, the creative answer to "half-assed".

Seriously?
Most of those casting shouldn't have happened.
Especially not the Emma Frost one. Live action fail.

Even in the motion comic they didn't give her a good voice.

I cannot stand these motion comics. They look terrible! I get the point, but you know what? Buy the comic, read it, and use your f^cking imagination.

I don't really understand a motion comic, either make it just a comic book or do an actual video, this is kind of in between, or am I missing something?

This comic has been out for a while, but I feel you on either make an actual animated movie, or don't do it at all. To me this feels like something a student put together for a project in college.

Actually Stumblin they could! I am an animator, and I can recognize what software was used to render these. Not that hard at all, but still, you'd think for all the effort that was put into making stills "move" for trailers a company of that size would just make some animated films already. I remember reading a post on here the other week about some stories that would have great potential for animated features, the secret wars & marvel zombies being some of them. Who knows...

Totally agree MarvelStudios, many possible animated movies that could be done if Marvel would stop wasting time, effort and money in something that's mediocre and put it towards some real quality work.
