Ororo Munroe: Storm Appreciation 2019

[Cville]

your objections dont align to canon. if she had no influence on the decision why was she the first one he chose to visit?

Sex.

He just left his mother and sister. Only other thing to do is watch TV or science stuff.

[Cville]

Yost's Worlds Apart was the 'best' the pairing was written from an X perspective, but even there, Storm ran over Wakanda, BP, the Dora, and the X-Men, which perfectly illustrates by point above. They just operate on completely different frequencies.

What do you mean "ran over"?

Beat them all.

In most of BP's run with them married, Storm had to pwn to him; defer to his leadership, not interfere with his fights, not take the crown when he was incapacitated. In Words Apart, Storm defied Wakanda, beat the Dora, beat BP himself, and even defied Bast and used her to suit her own designs. I'm sure BP fans were rolling their eyes at that. They just aren't on an even field, and so one of them is always going to have to be smooshed down to fit the other(like when Storm was reduced to fighting the Skrulls with a sword when she could have destroyed the entire armada before they even touched down on the ground).

Tchalla was possessed. As a BP fan, only thing I didnt like about it was the endin dialogue.

Aaron wrote everybody down so he could have a medieval battle. Which it the type if fighting he prefers to write.

Well, the Queen of Wakanda can’t do EVERYTHING. Lol we have to show that King T’Challa is at least relevant and helpful to the situation at hand. (Though I agree with you, having Storm take down the entire Skrull armada would have been about 2sec)

OK so here we go.
Forge was never the true love for Ororo.
I took him as relationship. it was deep and it was at a turning point in her life. But not the Man for her. Forge was too weak and has been shown to be easily corruptible too many times.

[BlkGldBlu]

Wow so this again.

So to the point of skull invasions.
Storm taking to the air and hurricaneing the skulls would have been pointless.
Cause the whole point was to win the war. Not for Storm to have epic power display.
In story they already let you know they had two personal superskrulls waiting for her.
And even if Storm did win her battle ,Wakanda would have lost.
Maybe the skull would leveled all of Wakanda from space if tides was losing. Storm differed to her Husband the smartest man in the MU to save the day. I would say trust was key here

She did make a point. Ororo definitely doesn’t need a man and isn’t validated by having one. I think the X-men should be introduced first then we mingle with the other characters

[yogaflame]

I don't want T'Challa and Ororo to be a romantic couple in the MCU(they don't have a very good track record for romance in these films, and Nakia is already played by an Oscar winning actress(Lupita) who is more age-appropriate for Chadwick), so in this I agree with Shipp. Her points about many characters not being well utilized, though, is more of a Fox-Men problem, than an MCU problem. Fox-Storm was just a blip in the background for all these movies, but the MCU has shown an astonishing level of mastery in terms of giving all of their ensemble a shining moment and something to do, narrative-wise, even with their huge cast, and even for the non-big 3 characters(Iron Man, Cap, Thor). I think a featured cameo/supporting role for Ororo in BP2(in a non-romantic capacity) would get the audience excited for a new version of Storm, so much so that a Storm solo wouldn't be impossible. I mean, given the success of Captain Marvel, which while not a horrible movie, was kinda bland, I think a well delivered Storm solo film could be incredible and even more successful. The MCU brand is so well established at this point, they can turn straw into gold. If they actually start off with the bounty of riches Storm brings to the table(visually, character-wise, canon-wise, and in terms of something like real world situations like famine relief, or climate change), there are no limits to how high she could soar!

Ha I love that she admits that she and other actors have very little lines due to the cast size. Storm, one of the most icon heros barely has any lines, sums up a major problem FOX has always had.

That said, I also kind of agree that Storm shouldn't be held back to a support role, but it's also the best way to introduce her and something all the X-Men apart from Wolverine will suffer from.

LOL the fact that she admitted that she doesn't have many lines and then admitted to being in the background like Sasquatch is just too much for me.

While I don't see it happening, I would like for T'Challa and Storm to be together in the MCU.

Yea. She doesn't HAVE to be introduced in Black Panther. If done correctly I could go for the story of Professor recruiting the team to go save the O5 as a starting point. I have no qualms with her and T'Challa's relationship but sometimes we keep saying she needs to be introduced in his film like she needs that for validation. I know that's not the intention but that's the way it comes off. I would like to see the relationship in the MCU eventually but it doesn't have to be her starting point. Ororo and T'Challa are both strong characters independent of each other and powerful together. I personally would like to see both sides portrayed.

I agree! Her starting in BP could come off that way

I wonder if all of that about the the lack of lines and being background fodder was pent up frustration and now that she probably know she wont be playing Storm again she feels safe to vocalize it. She's essentially saying the same thing we've been saying for a very long time. X-Men movies have focused on the same few characters too much.
