If Tim were writing it he would kill Storm or ita.
Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I think ita's objections to Storm are entirely based on the live action portrayal, Trudy. (As are mine...) Comic Book!Storm rocks.

More specifically, he'd kill this Storm (horribly) and replace her with the REAL one whom she locked in a closet for two films.

move out and draw fire
And hopefully insist that Wolverine start being drawn like Wolverine again, and not like Hugh Jackman. Not that I'm objecting to Hugh Jackman's looks, mind you, it's just that I think it's wrong for the casting of the movie to rewrite the character concept. It shouldn't be, there should be a free flow of ideas and creative types building off each other but I don't care, it's still wrong. I mean, are they going to make Storm act like Halle next?
Uh, I actually didn't come in here to rant. Wish I had helpful ferrets like Victor does.

I'm fine with them at least making Wolverine look like a human being again... some portrayals got pretty freakish for a while there.
However, there's no call to infuse Storm with the expressions of Halle's muse (and that of Snow White's stepmother), Uta from the Naumburg Cathedral.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There was a recent XMen comic where Storm wears a short black wig as a disguise, and gets mistaken for Halle Berry.
Pfft.

Is there any chance that, now that she's Hollywood's IT actress, she might start doing some trendsetting activities? Like, say, taking up the hot "new" martial art as a fitness regimen? 'Cause I'm thinking getting the chance to have her as your punching bagsparring partner might be fun.

Man, that'd be incentive to become an instructor. 'Cuz then you could get paid for it too.

"While recuperating from the broken nose, Halle claimed she heard the instructor say 'Storm this, bitch' right before the roundhouse kick. The instructor denies any such comment."

See, I'm suddenly terrified at the notion of how you'd do in Krav if your motivation were kicked up a few notches. I'm not exactly sure how it would all end up, but I have a mental image of Jose Canseco crying for his Mommy.
