See, maybe I didn't think it was as bad because I've never read the comic. IME, those who don't know the original work tend to find the movie of the work not as bad as those who are fans of the original work.

From what I read, they butchered the comic and they made up an ending since the last book wasn't complete before they began filming.

O'Malley was the one who told them how to end the movie, so if the endings are different it's all on him. And that's his decision to make.
Kind of like when Neil Gaiman told the makers of Stardust how to make the movie different from the book.
Southern Style greens are collard and/or mustard greens cooked with some kind of pork, possibly some chicken broth, and generously spiced.
Shiner Frost is another kind of beer from the people who brought us Shiner Bock.

I really enjoyed it. They did "butcher" the comic but getting 1000+ (iirc) pages of comic into a 90 minute movie was going to be hard. But they caught a lot of the spirit of the book for me, and O'malley was consulted and somewhat involved in the ending. I prefer the Comic but the film was fun.
Also the best fight scenes I've seen all year and better booms than Expendables.

I agree. If you're going to call it butchering, we're going to have to clarify that we mean actual butchering. They took an entire cow and cut away the fat, and the gristle, and all the meat that's perfectly tasty, but not for right now, and left a healthy serving of prime rib.

I have some ideas for a pbp M&M game... not much but a good start:
The anime version of the game would have a subtitle of "Retro-futuristic Mystic Pulp Action." Flavour wise, I'm stuck between either magicpunk or diesel punk sfeel since alot of the imagry that comes to mind reminds me of Metropolis, Dark City,Tim Burton's Gothem City, etc.
First problem is, I don't know what to do about the scope since I don't want the game to be a "traditional superhero game" and instead have it be more of a player driven story which will be difficult since I haven't decided if the game will focus on adventuring, crime fighting or what (gangsters, rogue robots, and 'air-pirates' seem to come to mine).
the last problem is that I can't decide on which version of M&M to use... 3e or 2e. I so want to take a crack at M&M 3e/DCU but sadly, I have a feeling that most of the M&M pbp players don't have it.
