Which is the Editor's fault.
Why is Dazzler getting so many variants? I feel like this is unfortunately connected to Taylor Swift somehow. I love Dazzler, but.
Exactly. Which, for the simpletons, is how the media brainwashes you into believing certain things about certain people.
IIRC, Joss Whedon was inspired by Dark Phoenix for Willow's character arc...
Thank you for such an astute and well-researched contribution to this topic, which you could have just as easily ignored. I am humbled to be in the online presence of an intellectual heavyweight like...
Exactly. It's in the same vein as "Well what if they cast a WHITE PERSON to play BLACK PANTHER????? HUH??????" as if "being Black" isn't important to the backstory of the character, and as if there...
What's the over/under that whichever direction they take Laura and Synch, it's reacted to that way regardless by people who are biased against the pairing? In before "she's too young for him bc of...
True, but within the context of cultural misogyny/sexism that is false equivalence. There is no prevailing cultural belief that men are too emotional or hysterical for leadership. It's like when...
The misogyny is more present in the "super powerful woman is driven mad (read: hysterical) and can't control herself" (Dark Phoenix, Scarlet Witch, Polaris every so often) trope. Storm has been lucky...
I mean this thread is literally about certain versions of Jean and Storm being too powerful for a team book and Iceman has been purposefully nerfed for most of his publication history, if you want to...
I totally agree, great post. You can probably throw Psylocke and Shadowkat in as other examples of popular female heroes with physical powers.
Usually.
O5: Jean
Krakoan Rescue Team: Vulcan*
ANAD: Storm
Outback: Storm
X-Factor: Jean
New Mutants: Magik
Excalibur: Rachel
Generation X: Arguably Monet, arguably Synch*
Seeing that promo image with the mohawk reminds me of Brevoort's answer about Storm where he said something like "I realize the way her hair has been drawn since the Krakoan era is culturally...
Noooooooooooooooooooo
I'm sorry but answers as stupid as this just drive the point home that the keys to the castle need to stop being given to straight white men. So you're telling me there was absolutely no way for...
I'd do a Justice League Unlimited style show, set on Krakoa. Core cast of 7 (Cyclops, Storm, Jean, Rogue, Wolverine, Gentle, Pixie) with a huge rotating cast of characters for different missions....
Thor probably counts. I would argue Hulk too, but there are a lot of fans of both characters who don't like them in books like Avengers because they tend to be nerfed to feel like more realistic...
There's the Wolverine game coming out sometime this year, right? I'm excited for it because Jean is a playable character. The PS5 Spider-Man games are really fun but I hated Midnight Suns.
You don't "turn" gay.
Oh, look the creators of X-Men: The Animated Series responded to the "backlash" about Morph; they think you're bigoted too :-p

Hopefully they undo the change; Slott should be ashamed of himself. It was giving conversion therapy.
Can you get Marvel to stop unnecessarily adding streaks of color to characters' hair? Biting and diluting Rogue's branding. Domino did not need a white streak in her hair and neither does Oya need...
Agreed. Logan and Kwannon look fantastic.
Yeah this is pretty disappointing.
And Rogue wasn't even that lucky. I hate Oya's new costume and hair but I'm so happy to see her being used more.
Emma has been "An X-Man" as far back as 1994, depending on how you see her role in Generation X.
