Just saw a teaser for the new Excalibur. At first I was a little surprised to see that it looked more X-Men Blue than Excalibur (and then I recalled hearing somewhere -- probably here -- that they were going to do something like that), but then I was even more surprised to see Apocalypse there. Wtf? Since when is he a hero?

Why would I do that? I have self-respect, I'm relatively fond of myself, and I'm not into masochism.

When was the last time you watched it, though? 1992? Are you sure your disdain will hold up against Devito's delightfully off-key performance as the Penguin and Chris Walker's deadpan delivery of "Bruce Wayne? Why are you dressed up like Batman?

For instance, most comic fans loved the first two X-Men movies, the first two Spider-Man movies, and most of the MCU movies. Aside from the pedants complaining that they gave Spider-Man organic web-shooters (even as the sane and rational fans accepted it worked better in the context of the movie), or the real dorks who whine because the X-Men were wearing black leather instead of yellow spandex (and again, movie compromises), most fans were cool with them.

When X1 came out, I defended the leather outfits (which some friends called bondage gear or gimp suits), but XM: First Class kinda showed that they didn't have to go that spartan with the outfits. I will always prefer those organic web-shooters, though. Otherwise, idk. X1 I liked probably simply because it was X-Men, but I didn't like X2 (other than giving us a live-action Nightcrawler... but unfortunately they stupidly didn't want to recast (which would have been an easy recast) when the actor didn't want to bother with all that makeup again)

You may be the first human being on the entire planet who has ever said those words in that context and actually mean them.

You know you trippin'
