Why do people hate this line of dialogue? What exactly would you want Storm to say at that critical moment. I’ve read people wanted a more epic tag to a pretty good setup and felt disappointed. Here is the full line:
“Do you know what happens to a toad when it’s struck by lightning? Same thing that happens to everything else.”
Storm, X-Men
I don’t know about you, but I have no issues with that. What could possibly go there that would make it better? Let’s explore some options. I am going to give this tagline a real shot here. This is a brainstorm. Let’s see if we can’t make it more epic.
Do you know what happens to a toad when it’s struck by lightning?…
“…It pops something fierce.”
“…seriously, I’m asking.”
“…trust me it’s toad-ally cool *snicker*.”
Wait, I got it.
Let’s tweak the line a little and make it an inquisitive statement instead of a question.
Storm: “Let’s see what happens to a toad when it’s struck by lightning.”
*ZAP* *fried toad flies into the water*
Storm: *badass look and walk off*
We figured it out.
