[QUOTE=butterflykyss;5474800]I actually discovered Claremont storm much later in life. I started back from the very first issue of xmen and worked my way up to giant size. his stories were so captivating. I seriously couldn't stop reading. when I got to lobdell it was definitely a shift in the wrong direction. that said looking in hindsight his work i think was definitely taken for granted though I know many fans did like the 90s period.[/QUOTE]
I saw the focus in the 90’s slowly shift to the usual straight white male audience and it was painful, classic Claremont spoiled me and I didn’t even realize it until it was too late. :D

[QUOTE=butterflykyss;5474812]someone on the preview thread said perfectly what I felt about it. I'm tired of the forced avengers versus xmen stuff. storm came off like a b!tch for no reason.[/QUOTE]
Cap face is showing a disdain I don’t like either

he definitely did show the women a lot of love which he did before it became a thing like it is now. I deficiency agree with you here. the good thing is he set the standard high enough so that we don't accept anything less from writers who have come after him.

yeah they all were jerks for no reason. haven't these competent heroes anything from avx, ivx, etc.,? It's old and been bludgeoned to death. no thanks but I'm over these same tired beats as it relates to the all-goddess.

So now there is a problem with Ororo being direct with Cap and Carol and them when they are walking into their home making demands and assumptions. What happened to hello, how are you. There is a matter we would like to discuss. What happened to respect?

I'm also a bit tired of this but we have to accept that the writers will always make these types of confrontations happen, but I just hope that the X-Mens will not be harmed as usual.
honestly I didn't mind how Storm approached the avengers, to be honest I enjoyed seeing her putting Steve in his place. She probably saw the discussion from a distance and thought things could go further, so I can understand why she was more incisive in approach.

This, I also wouldn't have the best reaction if someone I don't even have a relationship with comes to my house and tells me what I would have to do and how I should do it in a passive-aggressive tone.
Storm wasn't wrong.

I wonder how cap would react if a group of x-men walked into the un or some embassy with no appointment or anything in costume like We need to speak with the president of the United States. But at the same time i don't think anyone can tell me it was out of character. Whereas over in avengers when Storm was in their home during Phoenix she respected that and left which some said at the time she should have stayed around and i defended that she didn't because it was a sign of respect and where she stood.
And here i thought people didn't want mami storm.

Its the same ole tired arse story beats we've been getting since the first avengers versus the xmen during the 80s. I'm just over this personally and don't get off by seeing storm being bitchy. when she got Xavier told for asking her to steal for him, that was boss. when she told cyclops she was juror judge and executioner that was boss. call me storm, after all the times they have fought together is just unnecessary imho

these people have worked alongside each other for years, I mean they just fought against the knull together and now she wants cap to refer to her as "ororo?" they didn't make any demands other than to speak to Xavier and it went downhill from there. its forced friction which vita seems to do regularly.

I’d like to think there’s more space for Storm’s characterization than mami and being a needlessly aggressive black woman, which is a stereotype onto itself if that’s the direction people are going in lol. Storm seemed combative for no real reason, I don’t think the Avengers had any malice in their heart, they were trying to avoid an international incident by informing Krakoa that their supposed citizens are at risk due to going against an American law. A law that affects all young heroes. I don’t see Storm’s point like the avengers are favoring the Champions or how denouncing the law as it applies to them is saying it’s ok for the law to only apply to mutants. Seemed like she was trying to imply complicity and bigotry when the Avengers actions indicate the opposite. Vita seems to have a thing for contrived conflict lol I get what she was going for but Storm came off looking very weak as only the small minded and insecure project motivations onto others when they come in good faith.

And i would argue if it was a man who did the same that would not be the case. It's contrived for Storm to not wait on Bp in an X-book but it shouldn't be expected for him to wait on her to make choices in BP. Unfair standard.
Storm did not raise her voice, she was not aggressive, she told him what she wanted him to call her, how is that any different from call me Kate, and if someone came walking into their home i doubt the wakandian embassy would act any differently if Cap and them came storming in saying they need to speak with a head of state. In fact Vita respected them and had the wakandians act no different than she had Storm act, it was cordial but this were not friendly affairs.
And if the Avengers do think the law is so wrong why are they visiting the mutant embassy rather than being on tv trying to get the law changed if that is what this is really about. Or talking to the people they have sword to protect. I get what Vita was going for and it felt the same as when someone says a cop shoots black people people go but black on black crime. Like we don't pay other black people to protect us just like mutants didn't make these laws that Cap and co seem to have such a problem with.
And that is not even touching on the fact that those children live in the human world, not the mutant world. So what exactly was Cap expecting them to do, or was he making the assumption that krakoan mutants were leaving krakoa and coming to human territories to do things? So he already came in wrong.

I didn’t mind this part either (he was coming in overly comfortable), but the entire exchange escalated a bit too quickly.
I don’t think she’s being written as the “angry black women” trope. Yes she’s not nice here, but nothing else about the trope (certain phrases, sass, being used for comedic value, etc.) are present in this scene. Part of the problem with the angry black person trope is that whenever we’re not overly nice or inviting we get labeled as angry and then silenced.

oh it doesn't seem like that. its facts but I dont mind as long as exchanges aren't disrespectful (which they have not been). I really was rooting for vita initially but after marauders 13, cota1 with insecure storm, and now cota2 angry black woman storm im so good on vita's writing of her
you're welcome (^_^)
-
I am still not buying CoTA but I like what I saw of Storm in the preview. I liked this for the same reason I liked her XoS issue in Marauders. They are finally playing Storm with some edge, some grey areas of moral ambiguity Too often Storm is depicted as a paragon always in the right.
Claremont wasn't afraid to be a bit controversial with her. Subsequent writers have played it too safe with her for too long. It's about time they dirty her up a bit again. I honestly don't know if I think she went too far with Cap and the Avengers here. Was she too aggressive? Again I don't know, but I appreciate the ambiguity.

If T'Challa did Cap like that I'd be even harsher with my criticisms because the two are actually supposed to be close friends. It's got nothing to do with man or woman and everything to do with basic decency, unless that is now a mere human concept too lol. It would be contrived conflict for T'Challa to speak that way with a fellow superhero who's coming in good faith to inform a statesman about a potential international incident caused by his citizens (or in Krakoa's case sub-species) breaking a law in a foreign land.
And for what it's worth I don't think the contrived writing of Marauders #13 came from Storm not waiting on T'Challa, it was from her not being given the sword (which had been purely created to spark a conflict in the first place with its contrived rules and lore) in the first place. And T'Challa apparently getting his mommy's messages but not caring enough about the situation to let his people know when he would return. Storm was justified in stealing Skybreaker but the story bent over backwards in its structure to make that the case by forcing an artificial conflict that was undercut by her being like the 2nd person to arrive at the summoning circle. But I recognize it was an editorial mandate and wanted the pair broken up anyway so I'm not complaining as long as future BP writers don't reference the BS lore Vita tried to introduce.
The Avengers aren't asking to speak with a head of state so I don't really see the comparison. They were speaking to a high ranking member of the Krakoan governing body about a possible imprisonment of their people due to breaking an American law they disagree with. I don't see the Wakandans being as accusatory as Storm since she basically implies that because the Avengers dislike how the law applies to the Champions they're ok with the US only targeting mutants who break the law, which is a stretch to say the least lol. In fact we saw evidence of how Wakanda would act when asked to do something for the greater benefit of the world or their own security. They greeted Storm as a sister and daughter then promptly offered literally every bit of aid imaginable, from their own Wakandan armies to several sacred swords, all the way to their substantial technological resources. The one thing they weren't willing to do was give up this super important sword that Vita made up for that issue with a stupid clause designed to spark conflict between the two parties present lol. So even by the standards of how Vita normally likes to contrive her stories she didn't do a good job because Mystique was acting like a bitch right out the gate lol.
I get wanting Storm to have more bass in her voice, believe me, I'm a BP fan that's seen one of the strongest personalities in the MU neutered for fake deep writing. But I don't think being unnecessarily aggressive when people are informing them about a law that poses a threat to their citizens is the way to go about it. I don't believe she was being an angry black woman but I also don't believe that being polite and appreciative would've made her a mami or been a repeat of times when she was actually written as one. That said, happy you enjoyed the issue lol, I'm not even reading COTA but I just wanted to put that out there.

The issue with Storm wasnt that she couldnt destroy the cloud;its that she wouldnt. The wrote her as trying to respect the Inhumans and Medusa's wishes with that BS truce when she should have told her to f--k off and did what she needed to to protect her people

I can respect that and I actually agree with the sword part, with it being made up and stuff. But then I can also I agree I just wanted it over and vita wrote storm the way I think he would have felt based on the story she set up. It definitely could have been done another way but then that wouldn't have ended the relationship quickly so in that sense we all know that part was contrived. But I still think it was written well in the context and the voice is something I've seen storm had to deal with time and again with wakanda so I can't say they would have just given it to her. But I might not want to. Lol
I think she did a better job than the annulment.

Duggan said this summer should be fun but with that list of books coming out for reign of x I'm not sure how lol. Duggan is a nice guy but his storm leaves a lot to be desired. so im with you there.
yea it didn't add up and they wanted a setup for kitty to led the xmen. it was all pretty bad. imagine if the same was done to Scott lol.
