Nobody here takes any superhero death seriously.
But it's the way in which they are written off the board...with scant courtesy, in Rahne's case...that many of us are calling into question.

Fair enough, and honestly her death off screen makes me think she's sitting in a coffee shop somewhere while whatever concoction Dark Beast put into Dani's bloodstream is causing her old power to be used against her (greatest fear come to reality).

Ha! That's actually. What I'm hoping now to. lol
I mean does anyone REALLY think Dark Beast "fixed" the girls without giving himself something to benefit from? Surely he can't be doing it for scientific breakthroughs and the pleasure of helping people.

[QUOTE=pandafarmer;4312467]Oh come now, this is the game of drama. People die, villains kill, people come back. Without death then we wouldn't take the evil threats seriously and our heroes fight for selfish reasons instead of for a greater good. Even if she is dead, you know it won't be the last we've seen of her. Enough people love her, and with the movie coming out there will be plenty of new fans that want to know more about her storyline. Marvel won't ignore that.[/QUOTE]
You shouldn't have to resort to deaths to make a plot interesting. New Mutants writers made Magus, Belasco, White Queen, Demon Bear, and Shadow King 'menacing threats' without having to kill a New Mutant. And they don't have to murder for their actions to be reason enough for the New Mutants or any X-team to go out and fight them.
Death can add a lot of weight to a story, but uh, you have to do it well. Like, you actually can do it very well! And then watch as a later writer screws it up by just bringing the character back.
This death could be a fake-out, though, which I don't like. The trick with a fake-out is that you can't have it be the big cliffhanger and center of all the drama, because then your entire story for a time is dedicated to milking fake feelings out of the audience.
Rahne is not dead lol. Emma's just fucking with her and Dani's psychic bond.

It sounds like we are gonna be stuck with that Tran storyline for a while, and the New Mutants didn’t forgive Karma despite them smiling at each other every issue for no reason.

Def something else... she wasn't flying....in fact giving her powerset flying reeeeeally makes little sense
