"Well there's a mutant that can turn his skin into metal" eh? Um, sorry, I'm not following. He's strong, which is what was needed, but what does his metal have to do with it, and WHY didn't Magneto do something cool with that metal?
And again, any storyline that can only work if everyone involved is an idiot that avoids smart paths that would actually lead to avoiding the whole story needs to be thrown out and replaced with something ELSE. And don't give me that "well then you wouldn't have a story" because that's more or less my point. They shouldn't have bothered with a story if they couldn't do it right. I could have saved a few bucks :D.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
