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 ?
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

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

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

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.

I know.
USA Today previewed a look at the Silver Surfer in the film, but 20th Century Fox has provided us with a higher-resolution version of the image, which shows the Surfer in all his glory from next summer's FF sequel! Here's how Avi Arad described him to the newspaper:
"[He] will look somewhere between gun metal and fluid metallics so you can see the body motion, the breathing, the muscle tone, the mood. He is a highly emotional being, trapped inside fluid metal."

Astounishing 19 is out tomorrow. According the list I was looking at, it's the start of Joss' last (6-issue?) run on the series.
