The end didn't surprise me -- knowing Joss, we could see it coming miles away -- but it did disappoint me. Not hugely, though, because of the huge loophole involved (and I'm not shocked that said loophole's been invoked, just that they invoked it so quickly), and knowing how that ends helps reconsumption, I've found. I was more surprised by the one Chekhov's gun that didn't go off (Armor), but I guess there's half a dozen X-writers now who have that in their hands.
Whedon's dialogue is almost anti-Claremontian, so yeah, I can see how jarring that is. And I definitely agree on filler -- "Unstoppable" was roughly three issues longer than it needed to be. But hearing that dialogue is still oddly satisfying in a way I wasn't expecting. It's not a perfect translation by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm glad it exists.
