    Fun, but the original line is perfect.

    Storm doesn’t make to quip like Spider-Man, she’s here to protect her family and to fry anyone who threatens them…

    The point of the original line is that Toad is just another in a long line of idiots who underestimated Storm - and not even worth a unique punchline.

      She says “The same thing as anything else.”

      It’s a terrible line.

        They call it out in the DVD commentary… “It CROAKS! WHY DIDN’T WE THINK OF THAT!!!”

        The problem was the delivery. It was meant to be a Nelson’s “ha, ha” moment.

          I don’t think anybody could have made that line sound good.
