The ending to the movie was just shit, and I agree completely with your analysis.  I didn't care that they got rid of the squid, but their replacement was utterly stupid.

Foster or real, they’ve never acknowledged it in the movies.

This is why I hate the retcon they came up with to the original body change. She didn’t swap bodies with ANYONE, it was her own body changed in Spiral’s Body Shoppe to LOOK Asian to help with the Hand taking over Madripoor. Still crazy pants, but it was her body and her powers, and why they thought changing that to…

I totally agree, and it’s a big reason that despite being an X-Men fan I can’t stand 90% of the Fox movies. On the other hand, a lot of what Marvel has done on their own proves you can make changes for the better. But it’s been so frustrating hearing that “well, we need to change them to attract a wider audience” crap…

What’s interesting here is that these details are implying that rather than being a cosmic force that encounters Jean (as in various iterations of the comics canon), the Phoenix is something that’s always been inside Jean, just waiting for the right trigger to appear.” So they’re using the original idea for the…

Like Orson Hyde said, there are reasons.

That fucking soft reboot shit….

I needed subtitles. It really was ridiculous.

Darkwing first.

I know we had a mixed bag of stations outside of Milwaukee before we got cable in '99. I think we lucked out that when we got FOX, it was on a lower channel and we could actually get it, whereas CBS got punted to 58 and a substandard signal. For years, I always thought of it as "that shit channel with all the static."

Huh. I didn't know they did that, I thought the houses were built with two floors. That's some crazy shit.

Well, the spelling and punctuation wasn't a mess. That's a big deal in this day and age.

I sadly haven't been able to watch this since I started a grownup job last year (ten o'clock bedtimes suuuuck), but I did genuinely enjoy this show. Especially when Funches, Lennon, or Weird Al were on. Damn, it sucks it's going away.

They weren't terrible, but I wish they'd been more tangy.

The mocha flavored ones are like a not-quite-there imitation of Mocha Joes from Trader Joes. At least I thought so.

Honestly, I was hoping for Brendan Fraser. He was a slightly off kilter version of Indy in the Mummy movies, pretty much.

And Temple had them falling out of an airplane on an inflatable raft and landing without breaking limbs.

Those bottles were freaky. And no one bought them at the gas station I worked at; we had to return pretty much all of them for credit. No one dared try them.

What amazing flavor is this!?
