X2 was one of the best movies of it's kind during the 2000s back when I still cared about superhero movies. I think part of the reason why it was called X2 - X-Men United in the US is because about a decade prior there was another movie released here called F/X2 along with later in the 90s a TV Series based on the 2 F/X movies just called F/X and they didn't want any confusion.

The problem with Cyclops is that while Chris Claremont wrote the Scott/Jean/Logan love triangle as mainly being all Logan pining after Jean (and even had Logan fall in love with Mariko), a buncha Wolverine fanboys/girls wanted him with Jean. So, it keeps getting brought up over and over again. Jean and Scott were deeply in love, but many a fanboy writer and obviously some movie directors went with Wolverine getting the girl due to Logan's bigger popularity. So, James Marsden got screwed over.

X-Men 2 or X2 is good enough for me as a title. My copy on Prime is just called X2. For me this movie was my favorite X-Men film. I really feel that in this movie they truly unleashed The Wolverine! The Last Stand was definitely a disapointment but it has one of my favorite casting choices ever! Kelsey Grammer as Beast. Ah when I heard he was cast I was sooo excited! Course then the movie comes out and was a let down. but Kelsey was fantastic in that! I do wish we could have had more Beast. I also wish they could have done more and done better with Cyclops. James Marsden was a really great Cyclops and it is disapointing how they treated the character overall. That one scene when he took Xavier to visit Magneto in the prison was a quick but excellent fight. I needed more of him kicking butt! lol.

I think the reason Sabertooth was removed was to put at least some thematic space between The Empire Strikes Back and X2. Having Sabertooth be with striker would have led to him revealing he’s Logan’s brother and “I am your father” “we’re brothers” and metaphorically Striker already fills that “father” void for Wolverine, and having lady deathstrike there enforces the “more machine than man” motif used for Darth Vader. I think I like that better. Splitting the same idea into two characters rather than doing 2 separate ideas birthed from the same motif
