Well, with a novel you have only a couple hundred pages to cram into a movie. With the comics, there are a couple hundred issues to take into consideration, and I'm only talking of Uncanny X-Men, the original title. It's gotta be tough. And the crowd they're shooting for is generally people who aren't so familiar with the comics, so it won't matter if you put Mystique and Magneto together in the Brotherhood even though (in the comics) they've never worked together, etc, etc.
