people can shit talk the fox x-men movies (i mean i do it all the time), but that scene from the last stand where warren is hiding in the bathroom cutting his wings off is one of the hardest hitting scenes ive ever seen.
like just do it, i hear the excuse “but marrow has bone spikes already” who CARES???
there are 20 telepaths on the x-men at any given time we can have TWO bone slingers.
he could be a great new POV character, give more blk male rep, expand storms cast, etc.
once again thinking of how spyke from evolution would have been a perfect addition to the x-men had they brought him into the comics as he was in the show and just tweaked him a little to fit the narrative.
and storm was his auntie fr iirc 😭 so first generation african american
this may sound stupid, but one of my favourite things abt ro is that she will beat a bitch up w her hands even tho she had energy powers. while other like jean, wanda, and sue usually refrain from physical fights storm won’t hesitate to beat the fuck out someone.
marvel,
altering your preexisting comics universe to mirror the MCU will not boost interest or sales in your comics. your customers enjoy your comics bc they are amazing in their own right. damaging and regressing your characters in the name of MCU synergy isn’t the way +
“iceman’s only characteristic is that hes gay.”
no, hes also mean, judgemental, scared, emotionally unwell, delusional, indecisive, cringey, disappointing, needy, and depressed.
we all know why it’s awesome to have a canonically gay juggernaut, but i think its also worth discussing that justin jin joon-sung is korean and how thats awesome given that the origins of the juggernauts power come from a crystal housed within a temple in korea.
a lot of comics fans dont want to admit it, but mystique is EASILY top 5 most recognizable/ popular characters from the x-men. i can bring her up to most ppl under 40 and they generally know who im talking about.
And if I said Mystique deserves and could carry an ongoing series? Spy, thief, assassin, politician, etc. The mutant mother of shapeshifting can do it all and more.

“Seduction of the Innocent” by Fredric Wertham which argued that comics books brainwashed children into behaving amorally, specifically in a sexual manner. Wertham believed that Batman and Robin’s relationship was influencing children to enter pedophilic homosexual relationships.
i know we talk abt queer coding and hcs a lot, but i think these mutants legitimately NEED to be let out of the closet for their stories/characters to make sense.
for jean’s character to work correctly she needs to get messy sometimes. she needs to be self righteous, she needs to get angry, she needs to lash out at others. theyve gotten better but the 90s tried to turn her into an infallible goody two shoes when thats not who she is.
i dont get how ppl cant realise that stories can have nuance.
krakoa is neither a perfect utopia NOR a fascist dystopia. if you thinks its EITHER of those you didnt understand the story.
It's genuinely insane to me how people can read THIS and not think it's meant to be deeply sinister. When they act like Krakoa was always meant to be some fun free love utopia, are they reading HoX/PoX with their eyes closed?
@arakkosuperstar
lorelai is always trying to start drama. paloma is CLASS. ive always lived for michelle bradley-spencer though. so many memories of watching her movies w my momma.
look at krakoa, it has been immensely successful and consistently sold well bc it’s broke the mold and allowed these comic characters to do something interesting without need of being like their movie counterparts. fans responded with their wallets. the same will happen +
people who think iceman shouldve been bisexual completely missed the point. his inability to be in relationships with women and his apparent misogyny were because he was specifically HOMOsexual. had he been bisexual it wouldn’t have made sense.
okay guys!
theyre making a new x-men fighting game and you get to pick the 16 character roster. keeping in mind the game has to sell well, who’re you casting?
i’ll go first!
and a lot of mutations are inherently limited by definition.
claws? okay you have claws, thats the mutation; its limited to that. they may be the BEST claws but theres no way to say any set claws are “beyond limitation”
@sixtytriggers
the number of star wars fans who unironically support the empire is baffling. like, do you possess ZARO comprehension skills, most toddlers can tell whos the bad guy in star wars, its made very clear.
i just saw three anti-al ewing posts back to back, one saying duggan was outdoing both al and kieron. just wanna say yall can shut that down right now. were not gonna do some al ewing revisionism, hes easily the best writer marvel has had since at least 2001. argue with a wall.
