Yeah...I'm not really contesting that Movie!Storm isn't a horrible, horrible version of actual Storm.
See, I love X-Men but am MUCH more familiar with the films than the comics and cartoons (which always seemed so mamoth to get into).
The thinking process of the above list went like this. "Right, gotta replace the warrior. I'll put in an X-(Wo)Man, cos they're awesome! Who's the best warrior? Probably Wolverine. Dammit. No, wait, Storm! She's awesome, she's totally nails! Oh, wait, Movie!Storm. No, wait, Movie!Storm! HAHAHAHAHA!"
To be fair to Movie!Storm, while she's not that much like "proper" Storm, I do actually quite like her in 2 and especially in 3 where she actually gets lines (having dropped the terrible accent and actually, well, acting) and has a leadership role and does stuff. Her bonding with Nightcrawler is really sweet and by the third film. Well she's just about the only character in that entire movie I'd happily leave my child with (you know, if I had one). So she gets better and becomes a responsible leader (though, you know, still no chain whip *sigh*).
But I have a soft spot for first Movie!Storm because she's just so bad it's good. Or at least, it's hilarious. Partly this is probably down to my boyfriend instilling in me an appreciation and deep enjoyment of B Movies and spectacularly crap Zombie films and bad acting.
So, I love Movie!Storm, just...possibly not for any of the reasons the writers or producers intended.
