Why did they make her part of the Brotherhood of Mutants? Wouldn't it have made more sense if she had been on the X-men instead? I'm not sure why did this? Maybe they didn't want to confuse non comic readers by placing unfamiliar members on the X-men team? What do you guys think?
Domino
Character » Domino appears in 2315 issues.
Domino is a skilled mutant mercenary who possesses the ability to manipulate probability in her favor, giving the effect of incredible luck.
Domino in Wolverine and the X-Men
Give people a chance to answer before you bump your own thread.
She was fighting for what she believed in. She'd joined the X-Men in the future timeline though.
alternate reality, plain and simple. the "why" it wasn't like the comics could be applied to next to every detail in the series.
answer: altu with its own number designated by Marvel and all.
i'm also only going on a guess here but character development. the show was planned for much longer.
they likely needed a starting point for new viewers, and one that would establish a checkered past right of the bat.
mercenary,ect. doesnt actually tend to hold a lot of water in cartoons, since most times it against the ratings to
commit the acts, so if you pay attention in most TAS type cartoons the character is usually shown right away
doing an act that could be held against them from then on out and setting the darker character tone.
rule #1 of anything on film: if it didnt happen on screen it doesn't exist.
just a guess there like i said, i dont hang out with the shows producers (though the artist has a blog
although i understand he might be somewhat ticked about the way he got jerked around on that project, imo)
No one's characterisation in Wolverine and the X-Men made sense lol. Just accept it for what it was; dumb, very dumb fun.
Rogue has an Elektra complex. Wolverine is the leader (sighs). I have no problem with him being the main character, but the leader? Come on. Juggernaut appears once, and is punked out by some nightmare-wielding 8 year old. Silver Samurai took out all of the X-Men.
I haven't watched the series in ages, because when I feel like X-Men animated shows, I just watch the 90s one now. I know there was more that annoyed me though.
The only things they did right were;
Scott/Emma
Nightcrawler/Scarlet Witch
MRD storyline
Rover
cyclops was throwing a tantrum throughout the whole season because of Ms. Jean going mia so he was on a loose tangent
and wolverine being a leader gives great dramatic foil and conflict while also throwing in some comedy effect
rogue having a elektra complex....i am lost by what you mean..are you referring to Freud complex or just comparing her to the character elektra
overall its a kid show on nickelodeon they cant get to technical....

"Elektra complex in a Freudian sense. She had a weird relationship with Wolverine going on. Cyclops throwing a tantrum was totally out of character too. They just wanted to push him aside so Logan could lead. What about Storm though? She's no Scott when it comes to leadership, but she's still a much better leader than Logan. Again, I'm not bashing Wolverine and I have no problem with him being the star, he's just not a leader. I spent the entire series thinking "Oh my God, would you all shut the **** up". That's hardly an enjoyable show.
oh and i think throwing a tantrum is very much in character with scott when it comes to jean but the tantrums dont usually last for that long..the most ive seen the tantrums last in the comics is like 2 issues which is like 1 episode in tv time
Rogue and Wolverine usually have that sort of relationship, but it was way weirder in WatXM. I can't remember exactly what, but she stared at him longingly a few times or something akin to that. It was off.
As much as Rogue's relationship put an anchor on her character I thought her relationship with Domino was great. Plus I kinda saw something there. So much subtext there. We have scenes of Rogue and Domino hand holding, looking into each other's eyes, and when Rogue goes to rejoin the X-Men... Domino looks like she was about to convince Rogue to stay with the Brotherhood with a kiss.

Since Mystique wasn't a large figure in Rogue's life, they substituted Mystique for Domino. She was the same dominating, but caring older female figure who was willing to use Rogue as a weapon. Just as Mystique had done originally.
" @Ladyspider said:Okay maybe I am maybe I'm not. They could have easily put Mystique in the Brotherhood. They've put her any other cartoon or movie. She was in the show."

But I didn't see Domino as a overly dominating figured. She at least appeared to have a close bond with her.
@fadetoblackbolt: what is wrong with Rogue being in love with Logan why can"t W/R fans have anything it is romy this romy that romy fans are so selfish it makes me sick.
