Posting mainly so I can easily find the new thread again lol. No books interest me right now. Still love Nightcrawler tho so had to at least say happy new year.

Lol I think if all the research you have to do to translate a character from comics to screen is "read the wiki page," then someone needs to go back in time and tell that to my high school teachers...

I do like Alan Cumming's Nightcrawler - he's just not my Nightcrawler. That's what I take issue with. I don't dislike the more recent Nightcrawler in the films either, I just don't get him. He's so...

That depresses me so much

It makes NO sense. Unless there's something else going on. Sure, Kurt went celibate for a while, but choosing celibacy for oneself is not the same as expecting everyone else to be Upstanding Moral...

I haven't heard those theories, what does that mean, if you don't mind explaining? (Sorry, I didn't listen to the interview! I don't have 40 min to spare right now.)

Late to the party but I just...

Eh, I think it was both, otherwise I don't quite get the point of bothering with multiple depictions of Nightcrawler in different costumes. While I'm sure his mind sea usually lacks the Kraken...

Yup, the second gen team was chock full of issues, what with everyone being from all over the world. And though they skewed older than the O5, if anything, that makes things more difficult: when...

Superhero stories have a problem with killing. On the one hand, "superheroes never kill." On the other, "glorify violence/revenge and the bad guy'll somehow wind up dead anyway... and then turn out...

I'm so tired, I wanna write intelligently, but lately I just can't ;___; all I can say is I really love Nightcrawler in the two issues of Way of X that are out now. Also really enjoyed other...

Not surprised nor enthused about the Big Reveal, but otherwise I really liked the issue.

Huzzah~ Appreciate!

Well, all things considered, I think if Kurt's gonna get angry drunk, now's the time :P He's really uncomfortable in Krakoa and all. But yeah, there's potential for things to get Too Ridiculous for...

Hadn't thought of that, but it would make sense. Magneto sounded much like his cartoon version incarnations who are always giving monologues and deriding the X-men. But even so, I don't think it's...

I finally got to read Way of X #1. REALLY good. Aaahhh. Loved the interactions between Kurt and Dr Nemesis. I wonder if we'll be seeing Lost again. Magneto was brutal - though I have to admit I can't...

Yeah I think we're agreed lol. It wasn't bad in the beginning but boy, some of the story choices... I heard it got back on its feet post-killing almost everyone, but by then I was long gone.

became a homophobe, had a breakdown, kidnapped dazzler, escaped to the morlocks, then died

That's a good idea. Exactly - nothing's set in stone, it's both a curse and a blessing - if a story is disliked someone new could come along with a fresh take on it. That's the advantage of being a...

Maybe not, but I’d pick the messy side for sure. It’s not that I worship continuity. Comic writers may not be familiar with X-history and it’s looong so I don’t blame them for picking and choosing. I...

Depends what you count as character development. Some might say it was when he came back soulless and immortal from being dead, but since they didn't do anything with that angle (like all his...

I only ever get digital comics anymore. All the comics stores in the area I grew up closed when I was in college. The nearest one left was an hour's drive and I don't know if it's still open anymore....

They aren't going to make him an atheist. They're telling a story. They are setting it up all round so that he's plagued with doubt - as Spurrier put it, he's conflicted - about everything they're...

Thoughts after reading WoX preview pages - I'll put it all in a spoilers tag in case anyone's avoiding them...

"I'm pleased you're back in the field, Kurt. You've been too much in your own head...

YUPPPPP exactly. He's naturally friendly, naturally a people person, and yet he's also introspective and careful - and the carefulness is certainly learned behavior to navigate being an obvious...

Lol, and this why I feel for the writers, it sure is hard to make everyone happy. For me, both Extraordinary and Red started off well - Red more than Ex. I liked the concept of Red, I loved Honey...
