1st - The idiocy of how the Cuban missile crisis was portrayed. Both US and Soviet navies, lined up across from each other like WW 1 trench war-fare, waiting for a cargo ship w/ Soviet Nuke missiles, sitting in plain view, right there on the top deck..... Please.

Charles Xavier and Raven met in their youth, and were life long best friends ? Oh, and she doesn't look as old as he did in the later movies, because... ? The fact that Wolverine can have near immortality makes sense, but Raven ? ( though I did like his cameo... )

I don't know X-Men canon either, all I know about them is what I've learned from the movies. Wolverine's lack of ageing was mentioned in the previous movied so, as you say, that makes sense.
As for Raven/Mystique then I always saw her ability as sharing base properties with Wolverine. Her ability is more than just purely visual, her body physically changes (at least externally). Her and Wolverine both seem to generate new cells/tissue etc, one to heal, one to change appearance so it stands to reason that if Wolverine doesn't age because of this then Raven would have something similar. Maybe everytime she changes it effectively gives her a new skin/body so allowing her to stay younger.
Or it could just be filmmakers wanting to put a naked blue chick in the film.

And along that same theme, much of what we saw, even the same words, which we saw in the 1st movie were brought up in XMFC. I find that lame. It's like nothing happened for nearly 40 years. Hard lines were drawn right then, and there, and yet in the 1st XMen movie, we see things being presented as if it was just NOW on the verge of developing.

I knew there was a back story to how Charles became wheel chair bound, but did that story ever get told in the comics? And was it anything like what was shown in XMFC ? Good drama, either way.

And I like Rose Byrne, a lot. She's smokin'.

I obviously missed the bit where they mentioned it. Would you mind telling me the reason they gave? Please?
