This is a very good point and largely where I come down on this. It's not that Morph is bi or trans or whatever they wanted to make him. If DeMayo didn't make this the centerpiece of his publicity,...

This is a very good point and largely where I come down on this. It's not that Morph is bi or trans or whatever they wanted to make him. If DeMayo didn't make this the centerpiece of his publicity,...
Yes, that is exactly my point. There is general apathy amongst the people my age who grew up with this show, many of whom (like me) were initially excited. Maybe they make that up in the fabled 'new,...
I would normally agree that Disney supports this kind of content, but I think they are circling the wagons right now and getting rid of anything that doesn't appear on-message or creates division....
I don't think it is going to impact viewership because the damage has long since been done. DeMayo already alienated a solid half or more of the potential audience with his interviews, just like Brie...
Loved this little era. Force Warriors finally showed Hellion in a real role after so long.
Hope you're doing well, Rev!
Academy-X wasn't my first foray into X-Men, but it was always my favorite. The thing I loved about X-Men had always been the school setting. Teenagers learning about themselves and their powers...
We'll see exactly what that means. But I certainly won't be shocked by more race, gender and sexuality changes. And I am certain the focus of the story will be just as much a political diatribe as...
Funny no Hellion and Surge. They were really the two who got the most panel time back then. Especially Hellion with his duo adventures, always getting into trouble. (I still recall being pissed when...
Oversensitivity? People who see every single interaction through the lens of race or religion or sexuality, and every disagreement as something born from such animus?
I recall the tension when...
It actively hurt her from the start, IMO. I was a huge fan when she was written as a teenager in New X-Men because she was a completely different character with her own issues and traumas and...
I tend to hate carbon copies of characters. And Logan as been the worst with this. Daken is a bit of an exception, IMO. But since she left New X-Men, X-23 has largely been a generic action girl....
The embarrassment is all yours, Saithor. I'm never offended that people hold different opinions than me.

Monet is a great character. I'm not big on her with Quicksilver, but I really liked her one date with Strong Guy. I still see Synch as her OTP and both of their current relationships as abortions,...
Unfortunately, it will likely swing past a balance and over-correct again.
This is precisely my point. Cloak and Dagger (and Luke and Jessica) have a strong and meaningful relationship that...
100% representation matters. But representation cuts both ways because everyone wants to see themselves represented in at least some of the characters of a story. That's why there was a push for...
Isn't that exactly how literally every single consumer chooses what products to buy? By their own personal likes and dislikes?
The big difference is that Claremonts fetishes were shared by the broader comic book market. That's why so many people bought comics back then, and so few are buying them now. Simple business sense...
I'm okay with them being back in high school (as distasteful as that would be since they are at least X-23's age now) if there is a book that focuses on the students. I wasn't a fan of Krakoa in...
Strong disagree that Orchis could stand up to Jean Grey-level psionics on a planetary scale. Or reality warping. But let's make it even simpler...hasn't Synch spent enough time around Eva bell to go...
Presuming that is even still a thing and not one of the probably hundred plot threads that were just left up in the air, I would think sacrificing himself to stop Orchis (using Jean's T-K to just...
i don't understand what any Laura would do as an EMT. That is absolutely not anything she's ever shown interest in. Or, to be honest, any skill at. She's been portrayed as oblivious to the emotional...
Quoted for truth. Two Laura's and both suck. Was a great character when she was a teen and had real stories about growing up and overcoming her demons. Then...SNICKT and slash with no personality or...
Happy Halloween, everyone.

But isn't the sin qua non of the X-Men/Mutants the bigotry they face? For me, that and the school setting was what set them apart from the Avengers or JLA or any other super team. So, yes. I hope...
Glob is savage. I recall him using his wax to torture to death some Flatscan bigot with QQ, before they got reconned as just misunderstood rambunctious youths.
