10 Controversial Changes Movies Made To The Comic Book Source (That Actually Improved It)

3. Wolverine Goes Back In Time Instead Of Kitty - X-Men: Days Of Future Past

Days Of Future Past is a classic story arc for the X-Men, depicting a grim future where mutants have been hunted to the point of extinction by Sentinels, and Kitty Pryde has to phase back to the past to undo the chaos.

Sadly Kitty – played by Ellen Page – didn’t get much to do in either of her X-Men movies, acting as a potential love interest for Iceman in The Last Stand, and being a gloried time machine in the Days Of Future Past. Instead of going back herself, instead, it’s Wolverine, which is hard to complain about since he's the best character. That said it does leave Kitty somewhat sidelined in a story where she used to be a prime player, which disappointed those who love the character.

The film is arguably one of the best outings of the series, though, and few would argue the switch in lead character hurt it.
