Know what the X-Men 3 reminded me of?
Mahabharata/Ramayana Serials I saw as a kid on Doordarshan !!!
In one of the scenes the mutant who can control "coldness" and the mutant who can control "heat" fight it out. This scene reminded me of the picturization of the Indian epics in serials. In those serials, fights between the big and mighty warriors was pretty similar. One would shoot out an arrow which would spit out fire and then the other warrior would shoot an arrow which would neutralize the first arrow. Such a fight would go on until one of the them would be able to shoot an arrow which the other warrior could not neutralize and thus would be killed.
It is very interesting to note that that in these epics which are very very old (Ramayana - 7323 B.C, Mahabharata 1900 B.C. - according to particular references which I got after a quick google search ) and in the future depicted in X-men 3, the one who is the most powerful is the one who can control the 5 elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, and water ).

Well hopefully the script writer's weren't too influenced ... we could have started refering to X-men instead of Mahabharat and Ramayana to our children (makes is so more contemporary)
