Adamant

Greg gets all ranty every time he sees a commercial for the new Wolverine movie. I'm thinking that sitting on the couch watching the commercials with him is likely way more entertaining than the movie will be. ;)

Heh.

Very likely!

What's got him worked up about it?

WHY IS EMMA FROST SPARKLY?

Dr. Lisa said...

And that's just the tip of the iceberg, my friends.

Well, she can transform her flesh into diamond, after all.

Jon, really? Okay, my X-Knowledge is obviously far out of date.

Dr. Lisa said...

Frost = diamond? Really? That's cheating!

(If you care):

Apparently, when Grant "Sure, Batman can use a gun" Morrison took over writing the second X-Men series in '01, he wanted to have a "tank" character not unlike Colossus, who was, I think, dead. Since Frost had semi-reformed and hooked up with the X-men then, Morrison decided to have her be able to go all diamondy.

According to Wikipedia, when she does go all diamondy, she becomes "also numbed from all emotion and empathy". Frost indeed!

This ends my geeky x-moment of the day.
