First off I disagree with them about the ending of The Mist. Yes it was really fucked up but the whole damn movie was fucked up. I don't expect to walk out of a horror movie feeling good about myself and I personally think it improved upon the original book ending (or was it a novella?).
They make a good point that the X-Men don't really win at the end of X3 but wasn't that always the thing we liked about Marvel? That the good guys don't always win because this isn't a fairy tale? I'd have complained about the flaws in logic or misinterpretations of characters.
The Mist was a novella and most of Stephen King's stuff is really fucked up. I don't agree with a lot of the things on these lists, but I add the X-men ones because sometimes they give something else to think about, like the victory thing, which I totally agree with you on. I mean, why else would they but the win/defeat percentages on the trading cards for God's sake! Not always winning makes everything more interesting, which I think is part of the reason I never really got into single character titles. You knew they weren't going to kill them until they wanted to end the title, at which time they would usually move them to a different one anyway, usually the Avengers.
The sad thing is even though I like the fact that the X-Men that movie still sucks pretty hard. Just for other reasons. Like poor character development and unnecessary deaths and awful uses of characters powers. And that's just where they got the characters wrong .
Though I guess it is always a good thing to find the good in something bad. I mean the general idea of the X-Men not gaining a true victory is a good one that was just poorly executed in that movie. Kind of like Dracula 2000 where the concept of Judas being the original vampire is an interesting one but that movie had some piss poor execution.
