[QUOTE=nj06;5006901]Nice find. I like seeing Storm connect with the Black community and want to see more of it in the comics.[/QUOTE]
this is why I loved Coates being able to write her. before him you barely saw her interact with anyone who looked like her who understand the black experience in this world. this conversation she had with Tchalla was so deep and I wish we could see more of this. I'm over the analogy of mutant treatment being akin to the black experience. how about we see her navigate between both as she is mutant and black:

Coates writes a terrific Ororo - even in Mauraders Ororo doesn't get to shine enough - though I hated her XTreme costume, at least she got to shine frequently in that book

This is a great moment. I like how Ororo is someone T'Challa can be vulnerable around. As stated above, Coates writes a great Storm and he captures her voice perfectly.

he most certainly does. I hope he truly is cooking up something big for her in the solo he swears is still.coming . I liked xtreme as well even though I havent read all of it yet.

i know they both balance each other out in a positive way which is why this run will truly be missed once it ends.

[QUOTE=Havok83;5006355]Nah I totally blame them. Storm wasnt the only character to get bad writing in the films yet I thought other actors didnt alright with what little material they got. Famke as Jean, Shawn as Bobby, Ellen as Kitty, James as Cyclops, etc... Halle and Alex just were not good for Storm at all. A better actress could have made Storm at least watchable instead of cringeworthy[/QUOTE]
I agree. I used to defend Halle and blame the writing completely but I agree with[B] Stormrocks [/B]that she lacks presence and frankly doesn't even look like Storm when in full makeup and costume. I think Angela Bassett, had she accepted the role, could have done a lot to elevate the character even with her limited role.

Did everyone see the latest CBR article regarding Storm?

I still blame the direction and the costumer. By all accounts, all of the actors were told not to read the comics before filming the first movie, so Halle had no frame of reference. Singer could have directed her to move differently, hold her head higher... basically anything. And even if Halle lacked the presence, they could have at least made her look like Storm. By the second movie, they had given up and made her look and act like a soccer mom. Say what you will about Halle, but she can turn a lewk if needed.

Look how different she can look with just a change in posture and expression.

No one should ever waste their time reading CBR's list articles...they're always rubbish.

Speaks so much to he current times.
Also, I love how the artist gave her [B][I]Cat-slit eyes[/I][/B] to compensate for the darkness in the room. Something rarely seen in current comics and a nice little touch to yesterday.

Agreed. Personally, I loved the original black Goddess Of Thunder look.

I love how Storm makes short work of Mera.

Storm for the MCU by Olivia Design (IG: @oliviadesignok)
I like this look even with the mohawk.

it's so appropriate for what's going on now. Its crazy that in her nearly 40 years of being written this is the first time we've seen her have such an exchange.
by the goddess I didnt notice that detail food catch.

I was just going to post this. Byrne got this absolutely correct. Ororo would make short work of 99% of the people she encountered if she was written competently so this is very nice to see.
I love how after she beats Mera she casually flies away like "who's next?"

What cracks me up about this is that after Storm served her once, Mera really tried to be cute and come back for a second helping! And I love how Storm floats away #unbothered while Mera is left a scorched and defeated mess!
