What were Claremont intentions before he was kicked out of the X-Books?

[Xargukon]

It was released. It’s called X-Men Forever.

His main plot was Wolverine going bad which was stolen by Millar later on during Enemy of the State.

He also did New Mutants Forever, which was better than X-Men Forever imo.
Though it did have it's fair share of weird stuff like Doug getting turned into the Red Skull.

I enjoyed X-Men Forever.

Also the most that series inherits are the Jean/Logan romance, Victor Creed as Logan's dad and Nathan Essex is a immortal kid with Mr. Sinister as his Stand.

It ignores most of Claremont's plans that he was going to integrate after the X-Men and X-Factor fight Shadow King on Muir Island. Plus there was the "Mutant Wars" cross-over that was alleged to bring the New Mutants into the main team.

Depends on who you ask, what day of the week it is, and how much they've had to drink.

Pretty much.

If you ask the editors at the time he had no plans...he just wrote and they had to tell him to bring everything together. He always goes on about what he would've done and wanted to do, but none of that was obvious from the stories. He's a bit like GRRMartin....no real plan and plays it by ear or when inspiration strikes. CC from the 80s wouldn't survive in today's world.

Well, that and a lot of his stories go "well, I had totally planned on doing this and this and that" and you just know there's no way in hell his editors would have allowed half that stuff.

To answer the OP's question...nothing good.
I thank the Goddess he left when he did as I had quite gotten tired of his particular writing 'tics' and 'tropes'. Count me as one of the few who, while a fan of his 80's-90's work, don't want him writing the X-Men ever again.

I totally agree. He was good for his time but i feel he already gave everything he could to the X-men.

But Claremont is the best because he gave us bisexual heroines.

or at least that's what his worshipers say.

Would have been nicer if he was able to write a heroine that wasn't sexual.

Polaris was kind of conservative if i remember correctly, maybe that's why he write her so poorly in all his run lol .

and the other half is him complaining about things he put into motion like the Jean/Maddie thing.

I guess that explains why Polaris was under the control of Malice for such a long time.

I’ll let you in on a little secret...


So are the dudes.

At least Remy and Logan. Anyone else you have in mind?

The series was a hot house mess. I remember distinctly it was and remains my least New Mutants story...if that was anything like his OG plans than *whew* we really dodged a bullet there

At least she got rescued. Sandman is STILL under wizards mind control and still no end to that dumb plot.
