    Yeah. Apparently there was some drama. I didn't really read into it but you can probably Google it

    Yeah it is. It keeps getting worse. Why do writers have to try so hard with her? It always blows up in their faces. They end up falling out of love having her act like a brat and sending her of into space. I get why bendis did what he did, he's Jewish and kitty is his entry point, I guess it's the same thing with Guggenheim. But this never ends well for her.

    Now that is a conversation for another thread. The thought of discussing Cornell West and Ta nehisi Coates, blackness, neoliberalism, Obama, and West's pettiness would blow this whole thread up and derail it for months.

    Also as she ever used an air compressed explosion? It's something like taking a huge mass of air and compress it into a very small space, like a hand, then throw and release it with explosive results and cathastrophic to her enemies
    Example from one piece


    Did not end well for the big guy



    Why?
    Yes she has once or twice. Her air attacks are so cool, I miss them.

    I thought west was being extremely petty. I hate that resulted in Coates closing his account.

    I thought his criticisms of Obama were spot on until he went personal and those criticisms were beneath him.

    ehh don't won't derail. I didn't see all of the back and forth but west approach with him in expressing his opinion was wrong. it's one thing to disagree but west attacked Coates and I don't think his approach was productive in anyway.

    There's a politics forum in cbr for that, but I gravitate towards Cornell side, gonna read more by Coates tough

    I agree with that completely. It was petty

    Yep. I rather not discuss it here. I don't really know the details too much but I did see what led to his deletion.

    Cornell is spot on. Particularly when you're raining down 33,400 bombs a year on pooreer countries. And I don't support Empire in any shape or form or any face of US Empire which is a white supremacist imperialist militarist entity. I actually had no idea Coates was a neoliberal. It really leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

    Cornell is so woke, and people in general still clinging to the establishment. Once again West will be vindicated a few years from now.

    Yes, there a few Good Examples, but my favorite is this:
    The Jovian Pressure Dome is a GREAT Example.

    She holds so much potential in just pressure alone, she could blow up a biotch or literally have them implode if she wanted. Her durability problem would be solved with the return of a simple pressure dome.

    so true. if i were a writer a character like storm would be so fun to write because she is so versatile with the things she can do. its a shame the thing that could be used to flex the creative muscle of writers is often times ignored.
