In X-Men (2000), Storm makes the bold decision to say one of the worst lines in movie history.

I loved this line actually, I thought it was hilarious

aparently in an early version of the script there was a recurring gag where toad would go around sharing weird facts about frogs and toads throughout the movie, so when storm said here at the end it was meant to be an ironic come back

in the end they cut toads lines out of the script but for some reason they left ororo’s comeback line

I’m suddenly mourning the toad facts X-men movie that I never knew could have been.

It’s still memorable, but fucking why did Berry roll with it like that?

That was a Joss Whedon line (he first made his name polishing feature scripts even before TV) and is a good illustration of why he made such an effort to advance to directing, so he’d be in a position to stop people from fucking his writing up
