Except… no. With a TV show, you invest in a group of individual characters. With a team, you're investing in a corporate brand.

In this case, yep. But the previous two installments never showed up on TV Club at all.

Ditto. I can just about get how people could enjoy watching a well-played match or an impressive feat of athleticism; I don't get why people care so much about which group of strangers wins.

… a trip to an Idaho hotel that “fell into disrepair after the owner suffered a family tragedy and lost his passion for the business.”

So is What's On Tonight just not going up on the TV Club front page anymore? Because this is, what, the third in a row that hasn't appeared.

That was a hell of an episode. And Eva Green's face is just incredible. Terrifying and beautiful and broken, and there was one shot which was just about 20 seconds of watching a tear slowly form and then fall and I just couldn't look away.

The mind-controlled Wolverine thing doesn't really count as a death, since it was part of a story in which Wolverine, Elektra, and Northstar were all killed and then immediately resurrected as Hand puppets (I mean, puppets of the Hand. They weren't, like, socks with buttons sewn on for eyes). If the body doesn't have…

I liked the insistence on using AltaVista.

Iceman, until very recently, but that was kind of dumb - he was closeted so hard that, in decades (or about 15 years of in-story time) of messing with telepaths (including one who brainwashed him to be in love with her, and another who got trapped in his body), neither he nor they ever noticed.

Yeah, "straight".

Well, it was a pointless digression that took time away from the main characters in an already overstuffed movie. But that's not what I'm complaining about. I think his headpiece looked silly. You presumably think it looked cool.

Not having seen what a decent costume designer could do with it, I can't say. But as I said, that version did not look good. Better to leave it out altogether. They gave him board shorts; they could have taken away his hat.

… Damn it, now I have to listen to Bone Machine all day.

Personally I thought it had endless comedic potential. Sadly the comics have failed to use it, but they could still come out with a Vampire Jubilee series in which she deals with the pitfalls of life when you can't even eat chili fries.

I don't object to carnage and destruction in superhero movies. I object to the heroes - and the film itself - not seeming to care about it.

Yeah. I appreciate that they didn't want to go the comic-book full-face version because that would cover Hugh Jackman's beautiful face, but that just looked silly.

"I wish the movie was more sexual."
The AV Club

That one's easily explained. Stryker was still out there, Wolverine got sloppy, Stryker caught him sometime in the last ten years. I can forgive that far more easily than I can forgive shoehorning them both into a movie which really didn't have room for them.

I love Psylocke, but I'm always kind of embarrassed to admit it because of that dumb costume.

Also, Wolverine's "Weapon X" outfit looked ropey as hell, and looked like something out of a student film.
