[QUOTE=jwatson;5058839]Im in agreement. Anyway you look at it Storm being taken out of the X-men line and playing supporting to Tchalla was a downgrade. There is no way around that. It will only work if she has her own book while he has his or she is prominent in the x-men. And yes the argument could be made she wasn't written well at the time but they still took more than they gave.[/QUOTE]
How does becoming a queen of a nation and playing a larger part of the MU a downgrade when she wasnt a major player in the xbooks taking orders from Cyclops/Emma/Jean? When ororo was in xtreme.she was solely doing that to find the diaries of destiny. Jean was running the school, she was the face of the franchise before Hudlin gave her access to being something more than a foot soldier for xfriends

It took her away from her home base. Storm's fans are mainly x-men fans and x-men fans are larger than bp fans so on exposure alone she lost. But i'm not really going to go over all the same stuff over again. We are on opposite sides of this one but we ulimately want what we think is best for Storm. For me why couldn't it be both. Or why couldn't she get top billing in the book or a whole new title about them both. Storm will never be supporting for me, never.

And just because i'm pretty consistent on my thoughts of this. To me i was done with Beyonce after "Cater to you..." lmao.

[QUOTE=vladko92;5058776]Also important article, right here: [URL="https://www.marvel.com/comic-events/empyre"]Empyre[/URL]. Check the video.
I am disturbed by one of the sentences, "A king must fall." and then they show BP... I think T'Challa will lose his throne in this issue.[/QUOTE]
He doesn't have a throne to lose. He's ceremonial. Lol.

Why can wolverine be all of the MU and it not impact him being at home base but for some reason it couldnt work with Storm? I dont believe because she was being written in BP she couldnt be used in the xoffices. The writers then wanted Cyclops and Emma to run the show. Having Ororo around wouldnt have changed the trajectory of the character because when she was written on the team she was doing so as a supporting character. Astonishing Xmen is evidence of this.
And your further point is what I'm saying. Ororo should have been doing things in BP while also being an important part of the Xmen. Somewhat how we are now seeing. The bottom of the line is if writers and the creative forces want her involved she will be. If Carol, Hulk, Spiderman, Thor, Wolvervine and Iron Man can do it I dont see why the same is not true of her. Luckily it seems Marvel is beginning to change that in regards to her larger presence in the MU.

I think a king must fall is more him dying and not him losing his ceremonial throne :/

[QUOTE=butterflykyss;5058844]I dont recall their writings of her do you know any particular issues they made have written her so I cam give a fair assessment?[/QUOTE]
I am not on you with comics, I just thought that perhaps you read stuffs from them with Storm.

As far as I am aware T'Challa is still the King of Wakanda after his most recent issue of Black Panther.
Getting back to the Avengers. Does this seem familiar to you guys?

To me it looks like Thor is using speech to summon Rain, just like Storm did back in the 90's in TAS show.

oh I see no I haven't but I think al ewing has a big following of supporters that would vouch for his writing. this doesnt mean he would do storm justice though.
and I didnt read that issue but I recall seeing the panel. I didnt quite get what was going on honestly lol. it seemed like iron man was challenging thors divinity.

[QUOTE=vladko92;5058047]I don't want to bump into this, but I also checked that photo and I didn't see a link, I even checked the Instagram post and I still didn't see a link, therefore I have zero idea what was the referred reading order for Storm, therefore, I withheld myself from commenting. Even though I really wanted to check if I read everything, I believe having a link or precise screenshot of the recommendations would have been much easier to understand.[/QUOTE] It is literally RIGHT in the centre of their main instagram page.
Here, I have circled it in red so you can understand what to press:

(^_^)[/QUOTE] My pleasure. It's important that people read Storm's past, i don't think she was handled right between Gillen and Hickman so people need to see who she really is, what she's capable of, how formidable she is and what she means to the X-Men.
In Days of Future Past movie, when the sentinels attack the final X-Men, Storm is the first to go down with a stab in the back. This is NOT how Storm goes down, Storm is known to ALWAYS be the last mutant standing. Always. In every event. Dark Phoenix, X-Tinction, Messiah Complex. She doesn't go out like a punk ass bitch.

Cerimonial. They've haven't outlined what responsibilities he actually has now. They just write him as if nothings changed. Writers are only committed to it in words. So if he loses the throne and lives, nothing changes. Lol.

I really dont like that about instagram that they try to force you to create an account to see the content lol. And agreed to your point about storm not going down first. What would you say is the most important storm story that readers who want to know who she is should read?

What would you say is the most important storm story that readers who want to know who she is should read?[/QUOTE] For me, the most important Storm story of all time is Lifedeath.
How does a mutant fare when they lose their powers? This was an important storyline and Claremont chose to give it to Storm. There were a number of X-Men he could have gave the story to, but he chose her for a reason. Because she could handle it. This story showed the strength of the character, how she is not just defined by her powers to control the weather, and how she deals with loss.
This story showed us why it is important for Storm to be an X-Man and why the X-Men need her. How she was able to carry on in life.
No story defines the character like this one, a truly magnificent comic book. Oh, and of course the art.
For pure fun (even though it's not in the guide), one of my favourite Storm issues is X-Men 205 just for that magnificent spread of Storm Vs. Sinister and the Marauders/Acolytes.
