Thank God I don't keep up on Spiderman, Xmen or any other Marvel characters much anymore! If I did I would probably have the same reaction. I try to watch a movie as if it's a totally different take on the said universe. If I went with canon, I would HATE the new BSG series. I'll bet when Transformers comes out, a lot fo people will feel the same way....and so will I when GI Joe hits the big screen!
