Alternate take: X-Men ‘97 managed to speed through one of the worst X-Men/Marvel storylines in history, on par with Spider-Man’s similar Clone Saga, and made it compelling by cutting all the fat… kind of like what Spider-Man TAS did with the Clone Saga in season 5.

It’s some pretty intense retconning to say that how Madelyne Pryor was handled in the comics was good, or that Inferno was an especially noteworthy X-Men crossover story in the grand scheme of things.

I liked the fact that they made sure that Morph is still SUPER fucked up over what Sinister did to him. Morph’s joking nature is still mostly hiding a deep well of trauma.

They closed the bridge, but would not close down and evacuate the roadcrew, who had to keep working until they died. Capitalism demands human sacrifice.

Underrated??? I mean is there any movie canon list where it is not featured?

As I was staring out at the bridge collapse from my office in the Inner Harbor this morning I was wondering how long it would take the Right wing morons at Fox and elsewhere to blame this on one of their hobby horses. Didn’t take long.

Because the laws don’t apply to rich people.

probably on jalopnik, whining about how everyone treats their favourite car unfairly

I don’t think anyone hates Chris Pratt for being Christian.  It’s his particular brand of Christianity that people have a problem with.  So it seems a different pedigree of bullying. But there could be something to the overexposure thing, as everyone loved Chris Pratt when he was just the guy on Parks and Rec.

I’m just going to assume, for the sake of not bashing my head against a wall, that you aren’t saying we should hate Anne Hathaway because you found an episode of Between Two Ferns she was on “cringe.”

Even at the time I never understood what everyone hated about her.  It was all nothing but juvenile meanness and never made sense.  She’s never had any scandal or anything that would indicate she was a bad person; she didn’t deserve that.

WTF do parents let their kids drive cars like that, The most powerful vehicle I drove when I was a teen was a stick shift corvette with my uncle in the passenger seat so I was supervised. When I was by myself driving it was a minivan and my 1st car was a mkiv jetta 1.8t 5spd. Whopping 180hp, enough to get in trouble…

There are so so many things wrong with a drunk teenager rolling a Porsche.

Yup, that’ll happen.

The HHR, too.

Jumped out with golden parachute and let others to land your burning plane.

11th gen Ford Thunderbird as well

Agreed. The SSR looked old from day 1. GM took the retro look a little bit too far with this one. There were other retro inspired models around the same time that did a much better job of playing up old design cues with a modern twist. 

I think they did enough ground work to show Paul was not a “good guy” by the end.  Actually that term is complicated because in the end Paul is a tragic hero in a lot of ways.  He wants to do good but he is driven by revenge and he is cursed with knowing how every possible outcome will end.  But you are never going to…

I actually laughed when it started, like, they’re intentionally making fun of that trope, right?
