So we'll see :)<br /><br />Ruthie G: I know what you mean. Storm suffers from the [strong female] character problem (as opposed to [strong character] female). And the problem is, line like that are supposed to endear us to her!<br /><br />Jet: thank you :)<br /><br />M: really? She was meant to save the day? Argh!! Do you have a link you can send me with the original script?<br />And Callisto... Good goddess! Why on Earth do they feel the need to make a strong willed, masculine character into a sex-not when SHE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A HUGE ROLE?!?!? It blows my mind. What, we're not supposed to notice? We're not supposed to care? Argh!<br /><br />Skye: you're blog is awesome and has been addedto my weekly reader. I found it while doing research for this entry.

Of *course* this had to be changed!<br /><br />I'm annoyed at what they did to Callisto, too. She's not a major character, but they still felt the need to turn the sexy up and the strong down. The Callisto I remember was a masculine, badly-scarred woman who didn't willingly follow anyone; in the movie she's changed into a sexxxy femme with tattoos, and she trots after Magneto for no apparent reason. The Morlocks (who live underground because they're too 'ugly' to walk around safely in public) are also changed into sexxxy clubgoers.

I think the movies didn't mangle her completely because she had such a small part (although they tried their best).<br /><br />Storm also gets the immortal line "what happens when a toad gets hit by lightning?
