apocalypsosSo, yeah. Halle Berry being replaced as Storm. *Nelson laugh* I guess that's what you get for being a skanky wench, you ... uh, skanky wench.
And I've already seen Angela Bassett's name come up, which doesn't make me as defensive of her chances for the role as I used to be. And I'm not saying that because she's a bad actress, because she isn't. And I'm not saying that because she'd make a bad Storm, because she wouldn't. My personal problem, if I were in charge of the last movie, is that bumping off Jean and moving in Bobby, Rogue (hopefully), and I'm assuming Colossus in some respect (because he's on IMDB, and don't argue with me because I really, really want him to be there) sort of drops the average age of of the team. Kurt might even it out a bit. I know this sounds stupid, but maybe I'm the only one who think it'd look weird ... a handful of people in their twenties (yes, even Cyclops is young and pretty enough to count, even though James is a year or two past thirty) aaaaaaaand Storm. Talk about the odd man out in that group.
Of course, anything better's than Halle. Hell, my Jerry Garcia plushie could do a better job. And Christina Milian's not a bad choice, I think. The only problem I can foresee is making her look old enough to look like she could have been the other kids' teacher, but she really only has to look a few year older, and you slap the right clothes, makeup and hairstyle onto anyone and it'll make anyone look older.
It does make for a funny mental image, though ... what Jean'll have to say? Just picture it. She comes back from the dead, sees Storm, and basically has an OMGWTFSTFULOLBBQ moment. "Storm! You're younger! You're prettier! I don't hate you! And why is the room less stiflingly overstuffed -- hey, where the hell did your ego go?!"
EDIT: I love the way both newspapers are behaving over this. Not because it's mature journalism or anything -- and I'm pretty sure that's an oxymoron -- but because in my head, I can totally see the Daily Bugle and the Daily Planet pulling crap like this. *snerk* Comics have killed my brain cells.
