Bit of a ridiculous statement considering she’s killed her brother, slaughtered the war wolves, and set up malice’s death in this series.
Why are you complaining that she’s a spoiled princess. She’s a British aristocrat who lived in a manor and went fox hunting.
Considering her being in Kwannon’s body is something that this run is addressing, it is evidently not a reset.
Wanting to be Captain Britain; wanting to be a noble hero.
Also, it’s Betsy seeking out a way to be strong and asserting her own position.
It’s not a reset! The elements of 80s Betsy were abandoned in favour of making her just a ninja.
It’s not a bad thing that Tini is addressing things such as Betsy’s family, her desire to be a more...
Excalibur is making “Betsy Braddock” a character again, rather than just a background cameo in a fight. Half of those 40 years you’re talking about, she was nothing more but the “stoic ninja” trope....
That is a ridiculous statement. No character is ever written with the entirety of their history in mind.
This run is about Betsy finally addressing everything she has done, and has been done to...
Excal is one of my favourite books, so I'm super looking forward to this. Monet was great in empyre and xos so I'm sure she's going to feature well here. Hopefully marvel fixes its art/colours issue.
I thought this was a really good issue! It was interesting to see Betsy face a world where everything is going right for her. And I like how she’s finally starting to face up to her own personal...
Arsenal have a white kit this season as well, so only using their red one doesn’t really fit as an argument.
Earlier in Excalibur, Pete’s flat has either a Villa or West Ham shirt, so I’m fairly...
I think it might be an Arsenal shirt, actually. They’re also sponsored by the Emirates, and their badge is a shield shape (like the one in the art). Real Madrid’s badge is circular.
Some very interesting bits in this interview! I’m particularly looking forward to seeing Krakoa’s reaction to the team and the new connection to Avalon. “Sister kingdoms” is a really curious way of...
Other than Jim Jaspers (the reality warper MP who hated superheroes, not really.) Brian did have a bit of an issue with one police officer, but even that got resolved.
Betsy is technically a princess of Avalon right now, considering the fact that Jamie’s the king.
Monarch would have been such a good name for her, that I’m annoyed it’s not.
Saturnyne doesn’t usually have powers.
She often used a gun in OG Excalibur.
However, it’s likely that with her new role as sole ruler of Otherworld, she’s been able to tap into power previously...
Brian seems so hopeful at first haha.
The family are looking good! I wonder if this is a formal visit to Avalon.
Courtney Ross is from 616 - she was Brian Braddock’s uni girlfriend.
Sat-Yr-9 is the ruler of a fascist earth. She found a way to 616 and killed Courtney Ross in order to impersonate her.
Saturnyne...
Rogue wasn’t harmed though. She says herself she was fine. Her powers were fixed, even.
Excalibur are willing to work with Apocalypse.
Nearly every team in the MU have welcomed former villains.
There are protocols in place to ensure those on Krakoa obey the laws. Xavier made Apocalypse swear to do so.
And if they do wrong, then...
Everyone is so quick to be negative these days.
I’m really looking forward to the issue. Excalibur’s picked up a lot of steam over the last couple of issues.
I’m not sure how in continuity it was, but I remember liking the meeting of Jean and Sue in First Class.
I think they could be good friends - both long-standing and respected members of the...
If Wanda actually did the whole ‘dedicate her life to helping mutants’, then I’d accept children’s crusade as a first step to redemption.
But Heinberg never had the power to establish a status quo...
Essentially, Meggan states that if she spoke to the Quiet Council, they would let Brian stay on Krakoa whatever.
But during the X of Swords event coming up, it’s hinted that Brian is one of the...
I think this fight will ultimately just end with him and Betsy swapping the sword and the amulet.
And my theory is Brian will turn on Krakoa in favour of Otherworld and his obligations there.
