Picked up the Blueray, watched outtakes and not a single scene with Dinklage. I refuse to believe he didn't do a single thing worthy of the gag reel.

He's all serious in interviews, I assume being a wee fella trying to be taken seriously it gets hard. But he's a goofball on set apparently.

That was the X Men's heyday. I can't remember a more popular comic from that decade. Every kid I knew collected X Men monthly. We sat outside of comic book stores like they were selling crack, every time a new issue was going to be released.

I wait for the X-Cutioner's Song movie arc, once they make X-Force & X-Factor movies. It'll slightly tie into Age of Apocalypse, because he'll have been introduced by that movie.

It's amazing what having a single writer for so long can do for a title, instead of constant reinventions and taking characters in a new direction every 4 months.

Didn't every comic boy have this hanging in their room in the 90's?

The cartoon sucked in that it was so inconsistent actually being on (I dunno if they were only putting out an episode once a month or some bullshit) that I think I only ever saw 3-4 episodes =/

I must have been the only kid from the '80's that preferred DC Comics over Marvel. I remember having a serious hard on for Sandman, Teen Titans, and the Outsiders.

I just read the wiki on Chris Claremont, it was amazing everything he did for X Men and mutants. Apparently he took the book when it had low sales, and by the time X Men #1 came out, it was the top selling book in history. To me, the characters seemed real. But by the late 90's, it started feeling like I was watching a soap opera. I couldn't read it past the late 90's.

I think my last Uncanny X-Men was around #315. Though really, I consider the end of the era issue #297 (1993) which was just a "day in the life of" in the aftermath of the X-Cutioner's Song. No villains, no fighting, just character development. It reminds me of some of the earlier issues where Claremont could tell a really interesting story without resorting to "must always have badass fights!". The changes started before then, though I think Lee and Lobdell both did a good job for a little bit, but after that things just went into weird overdrive.

Hrm, where did I put my cane again?

Do you remember the "What If...?" after X-Cutioner's Song, where Xavior was able to walk again? Or shit, maybe that was an actual X-Men issue and the What If was if Xavior had died. It's been too long.
