Yep.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

He's using Dominic Purcell for Hyperion, isn't he?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Yep.
I see. No particular objection in principle, however, I can't help but wonder if the current crop of comic writers are having a strange reaction to the fanboy crushes of yesteryear these days -- what with Whedon finally hooking up Kitty and Colossus in Astonishing, and the overt and increasing sexualization of the Scarlet Witch over in Avengers (hooking her up in one-night stands with Cap and now Hawkeye) and now this, I can't help but think there's something profoundly Freudian going on here.

Didn't Wanda and Clint have a really nice platonic friendship through all the years when she was ping-ponging between the Vision and Simon Williams? Why they hafta mess a good thing up ?

But Kitty and Colossus are an old item. I don't think that counts as a change. Well, not in the same sense as the others you cite.

Very true, but I couldn't help but think at the time that this was something Whedon (and other fanboys) had been thinking about for a long, long time.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Well, Colossus was "dead" for a long, long time. It seemed pretty natural to me that they would hook back up once he was brought back.

Oh, I think Joss is definitely fixing things. But I think it's a very natural and simple thing to do in this case.
Why are we whitefonting? This all happened more than two weeks ago, right?

It looks like a painting.
