Storm >>> APPRECIATION <<<

[rutog98]

jean needed a machine to amplify her powers that would never happen with Phoenix lll.

Agreed, but my point of contention is the book keeps talking about how powerful Jean may be since she is going to start letting loose with her powers which the writer falsely claims she has never done before out of fear of the PF taking over her. Not only is everything about the writer's claim about Jean holding herself back in the past out of fear of the Phoenix Force taking over her demonstratively false, but it seems as if this aspect of Jean is going to be talked about while Storm gets ignored. We saw this happen time and again throughout the 90s and 2000s under Lobell's, Kelly's, Seagle's, and even Claremont's pen whenever Storm and Jean were on the same team. The same shape is taking form here. Don't expect anything from Storm in terms of power development or character progression. Heck, it doesn't even look right for Jean to be leading Storm as such a move seems like a major regression for Ororo's character (though not as bad as Kitty leading Storm).

That said, as you pointed out, Jean needing to use Seabro to amplify her powers is a valid point. However, again, the theme about "Jean is so powerful, let's explore it" will hinder any development of Storm's powers or any real mentioning about what Coates added to the character in the Adversary story arc over in Black Panther.

Tbf, the book is kind of slow. No one has really done anything. And this is Jean's team.

It is slow, and with the sales dropping off so quickly, I suspect X-Men Red won't be around too long.

It's sad when the 'bright side' is that Storm is conscious in Red. The bar is low.

That solo needs to happen fast.

I need to complete my time machine so I can skip ahead 6 months.

I just remembered that Rachel took Storm out in the last issue of Gold, yet Guggs had her up and awake just to have her get taken out again in this one. Made no sense

Nothing he does makes sense. Are we really surprised?

On the bright side girls,we will be paying issue #33 dust. We won't post scans,we won't discuss it,we won't participate in review threads. As far as we're concerned issue #33 was never printed and published. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

X-Men: Red's Jean's book. So of course it focuses on her, not Storm, because it is her book. Just like Storm gets a lot more development in the Black Panther because she is his wife, so it's sort of her/Storm's book too.

X-Men: Gold is ridiculous, plain and simple.

Re: Jean, with Disney buying out Fox and X-Men: Dark Phoenix coming out next year we'll see Jean back as Phoenix again soon enough.

Stop posting about Jean in Ororo's thread. You people always trying to take over other characters thread with your opinions.

X-Men Red is a team book just like the Gold Team and the Blue Team of the 90s were team books. Storm does less in the Red book than anybody else, and I believe the reason for that is because she's a threat to the primacy of Jean Grey. Jean can't compete with a well-written Storm, and Marvel knows that, so Storm gets written down.
