One thing that separates movies from most other forms of entertainment is a need to be focused. TV shows, comics and video games have hours upon hours to tell their stories, and dont necessarily need to keep things as concise movies, on the other hand, have roughly two hours to introduce their settings and move through the story. More often than not, adding in something like extraneous characters or pointless cameos just drags the whole thing down. Sadly, the X Men movies never really figured that out. Its understandable why there are so many cameos with so many iconic characters, anyone would be tempted to cram in as many mutants as possible. The problems start when the cameos start to distract from the story, and its happened quite a few times throughout the franchises history. If you ever thought that itd be impossible for an X Men movie to have too many mutants, buckle up here are 1. Wasted Cameos From The X Men Franchise. Jubilee. Appeared in X Men. Lets set the record straight were not saying that Jubilee is anyones favorite mutant. Throughout much of the 9. X Men came in and saved the daybut thats also part of the reason why her cameo in the original X Men film feels so out of place. Her character might not have been all that complex oryou know, good, but Jubilee was a defining part of the modern X Men mythos up until the first films release. The relationship between Jubilee and Wolverine was a huge part of both the comics and the animated TV show, and to see such a dynamic get tossed out so unceremoniously is a strange decision. Is anyone going to argue that Jubilee should have taken Rogues place in the final cut No, not at all but for a character that played such a big role in the series identity throughout the 9. Jubilee deserved more than sitting in the corner of some classroom. Watch Alpha Dog Online Forbes. Bolivar Trask. Appeared in X Men The Last Stand. Anyone who saw Days of Future Past will remember Peter Dinkalges performance as the menacing Bolivar Trask. Dinklage managed to bring the perfect amount of suave cunning and underlying malice to the role, and his performance stands out as one of the strongest points in an all around great movie. One question, though if the Trask that everyone knows and hates made his debut in Days of Future Past, who is the Trask that popped up momentarily in X Men The Last StandSupposedly, the Trask present in The Last Stand is indeed based of the villain that would eventually appear in Days of Future Pastthough youd hardly know by watching the film. Apparently, the writers of The Last Stand were perfectly happy to throw away one of the comics biggest villains on a few throwaway lines that didnt add anything to the plot. Then again, as the rest of this list will show, Trask was hardly the only throwaway cameo in The Last Stand1. Various non speaking cameos. Appeared in X Men The Last Stand. Yes, there are so many pointless cameos in the third X Men movie that its better to just lump them all together and get it over with. For those who havent seen it or tried to forget it, most of The Last Stand plays out like a poorly written, overly long toy commercial. The filmmakers were so desperate to cram as many different mutants as they possibly could into the script, even if that meant that some of of the series most popular characters only got a few lines of dialogue. Or, for characters like Ash, Phat, Glob Herman, and Lizard Man, no lines at all. Seriously, all four of those characters simply show up and then leave. Whats even worse is that those are just a few minor examples there are so many unnecessary cameos tucked away in the corners of The Last Stand that it almost feels like the writers were trying to upset the fans. Artie Maddicks. Appeared in X2 X Men United. Of course, The Last Stand wasnt the only X Men movie to cram in a few pointless cameos. Remember, back when the franchise was really picking up steam, good comic book movies were still few and far between, even something as beloved as X2 X Men United wasnt perfect. Enter Artie Maddicks during the museum scene near the beginning of the movie, a young human girl sticks her tongue out at Artie. Artie then reciprocates the gesture, only his tongue is all lizard y. Thats it. Thats his entire purpose in the movie to stick out his tongue and scare a normal human girl. The punchline is that the bratty human got what was coming to her, but the only thing it really does is reinforce just how obnoxious kids in general can beand, lets be honest, the only reason the scene exists was to show off some 2. CG effects. Its about as pointless as cameo as you can get, and it stands out as one of the few things in X Men United that hasnt really aged all that well. Hey, at least the opening White House action sequence still rocksStepford Cuckoos. Appeared in X Men The Last Stand. Theres a good chance that most moviegoers have no idea who the Stepford Cuckoos are, much less know that they appeared in X Men The Last Stand. Their cameo is about as brief as it possibly could be the three telepathic sisters appear in the background for a few short seconds, and then theyre gone. Theres no mention of them anywhere throughout the film, and theyve never appeared in any subsequent X Men movie. The problem is that, by labeling these three seemingly random students as the Stepfords, the writers introduced an entirely new can of worms into the X Men movie mythos. For the uninitiated, the Stepford Cuckoos are the genetic children of Emma Frost, one of the most powerful mutants on the planet. They were engineered as part of the Weapon Plus program the very same program that gave Wolverine his adamantium claws. Basically, their very presence would have had the potential to spin off into any number of new storiesand yet, it went absolutely nowhere. As if fans needed another reason to hate The Last Stand. Quill. Appeared in X Men The Last Stand. X Men is hardly the first franchise to introduce characters as a way to show off special effectsbut, in a movie already stuffed with so many extraneous characters, adding in yet another mutant for the sake of a few scant effects shots probably wasnt the best idea. Watch Just Henry HDQ. So, of course, the filmmakers went ahead and added in a ton of different characters whose only purpose was to show off the effects budget. There are almost too many names to list, but Quill stands out the most aside from the main cast, Quill appeared in quite a bit of promotional material, seemingly hinting that he had a significant role in the film. In reality, that couldnt be farther from the truth Quill appears in a few different scenes before being killed off camera during the big finale. It was a strange move, especially given how much screentime Quill had gotten during the promos though, to be fair, there was one other mutant that got nearly the same exact treatment9.

In the comics, Arclight served as a B grade villain throughout the 8. Marvels giant vat of forgotten mutants. So, even before The Last Stand hit theaters, people were wondering why such a no name villain was getting put front and center throughout the trailers. Whereas Quill was inserted into the movie simply to throw some CG projectiles around, Arclight had another purpose looking different. For whatever reason, instead of differentiating the two sides of the conflict with an interesting color choice or cinematic style, the filmmakers simply decided to give all of the mutant characters edgy looks like they spent every waking hour at a Hot Topic. At the end of the day, Arclight suffered the same fate that most of the other worthless Last Stand cameos dying off screen in a big budget CG explosion. All things consideredfans probably should have seen it coming. Sunspot. Appeared in X Men Days of Future Past.
