X-Men: The Last Stand, Rogue/Bobby/Kitty Thoughts

[itsnotmymind]

So I finally got around to watching X-Men: The Last Stand. It's not a great movie, and I was pretty well-spoiled, so not much to write home about. But I did have thoughts on the Rogue/Bobby/Kitty love triangle.

Which is this: If Rogue thinks the cure is going to save her relationship with Bobby, she's mistaken. Bobby's sort of flirtation with Kitty doesn't come across as a reaction to not being able to touch Rogue. It comes across was Bobby wanting two girlfriends, and not being particular concerned about how Rogue feels about that. That's not going to change just because he can touch Rogue now. Rogue has lots of legitimate reasons for taking the cure, but I don't think it will make Bobby a better boyfriend.

I agree with that. And certainly one does not need to even have a hard family life to want to be able to hug a friend. The whole Bobby/Kitty thing was kind of a weird way for the movie to address Rogue's issues with her power, because there were a lot of things that were more relevant.
