Irrespective of storylines? I like the look of the white sasquatch more than the classic orange.
Gotta be the original orange all the way. Based on the posts in this query sounds like we not only need Alpha Flight but also GRAMMA Flight!

I'd have to go with the orange original...Though I do have a fondness for the white version too, but he'd blend a bit too much with the Wendigo (should he have to face him).

I think I like the looks of the white one better, but I wouldn't like it so much without the orange one. I like it because it's a new version of something I already know. I'd probably like the orange one better if that was the rarer variant.Originally Posted by Mystic
(There's a great Dinosaur Comics bit about songs sung in different genres, but I'm not sure how to find that specific strip right now.)

OtherMichael:
After watching... (Drew Barrymore is a reporter, goes back to school to do an exposé), and seeing her come across as pompous for correcting a meaningless bit of grammar, I decided the same thing you did; except if:
1) The bad grammar makes whatever somebody is trying to say unclear.
2) It makes the new sentence funny.
I put Allan's comment under 2).

Yeah, I apologize too for butting in. I was in an even nitpickier mood that night; no harm intended. We're all friends here. But while we're on the subject, please, anyone, feel free to point out anything questionable in my writing. I fancy myself a bit of a writer, so I honestly do appreciate when others chime in from time to time (I actually misspelled the word 'perhaps' for nearly a decade before someone was kind enough to point out my mistake)— I just also know that I used to piss a lot of people off by trying to correct their language mechanics and/or occasionally have a little snicker at their expense in both real life and discussion forums, because let's face it (as le Messor so eloquently phrased it): sometimes bad grammar's just plain funny...I think Happycanuck was both trying to be helpful and have a little snicker at the same time...again, I apologize for my slightly negative spin on it.Originally Posted by King Mungi
On another note, though indeed most people just want to relax and say their peace in a discussion forum without fear of repercussion for lax mechanics, The Alphanex, as has been discussed elsewhere, is a different matter entirely. We should strive to maintain as accurate and grammatically sound a database as possible. I will be endeavoring over the next month or so to edit/proofread at least one entry a day; I hope some of you (particularly those keen on nitpickery) will join me in the effort. Pherhaps we'll knock it all out in a month or two and have it gleamin' like Wild Child's incisors on Fried Chicken Day at the Golden Corral.

You made a mistake there.Originally Posted by S. Michael SimmsOkay, that one you did on purpose!Originally Posted by S. Michael Simms
As for Alphanex... I never managed to get editing rights. Dunno Y.

I almost always go with the original versions. I like the orginal one better. I don't know that version just seems like he blended in better on the team. The white version is a version I think of as Snowbird being able to change into not Walter.

The german shepherd colourings and markings was more a joke. And, thinking further along, Sasquatch being black would make him look like one of those ghastly Ewok teddy bears from Return of the Jedi. Shudder
DIGGER - Just went and looked at some images of XForce on google and you are right - That is a lot of black going on there. Think they are taking cues from movie adaptations much? Ha Ha Ha
