Understood. My main point with the Guggenheim comparison, same as with Jason Aaron when he spoke about Storm in interviews - they talk a good game but they never delivered. I’m just going by receipts.
I’m also not trippin’ too hard about Batroc. I knew they would freeze dry or french fry his ass in an instant. With respect to Storm I don’t think the kick was a big deal. Its the way he chose to portray the scene for the sake of comedic effect at their expense that bugged me. He isn’t doing that to Kitty and its clear he won’t just write down his cast for the sake of plot, which is bad enough, he’ll do it for the sake of what he thinks is entertaining. Just not a credible combo coming out the gate. But I respect your support of him and that you feel I am jumping the gun a bit. I’d rather you be right than me seeing what I’m seeing. I was expecting a much more serious tone and Kitty’s behavior is something I’d see Storm being concerned about if she’s supporting Kitty as a leader.

Be the change you wish to see in the world.
even if ororo was on the ground her h2h skills as trained by tchalla, Logan, gambit, the Dora Milaje all should have made her equipped to not be hit. but she was in the air. he would have to jump across a great a distance to do that. was thor woman also in the air? when batroc hit her?
ALL HAIL THE HADARI YAO, THE OMEGA'S OMEGA, BEYOND OMEGA, THE VOICE OF SOL!!!! NOW AGAIN THE ONE TRUE AND ONLY GODDESS OF THE X-MEN AS CLAREMONT INTENDED!!!!!
first let me say dre you call duggan guggan on purpose because if you are that's hilarious lololol.
why do you think we havent seen any writers take any interest in black characters primarily the more famous one in their catalog ?
I think xfactor is good but I do think there is a bit more that could be done to spread the love around the cast. I most certainly miss the days when the cast on a team wasnt cycled between books and all the characters on a team got a bit of action within each issue. where is Claremont when you need him.
and agreed to all your points about gold 2.0. I still cant understand how even with them knowing Xavier could be resurrected they went and partied like nothing had happened. it's just so weird.

Batroc would beat Storm in H2H no question asked. It's one thing to be trained by T'Challa, Gambit and Wolverine and fight the Dora Milaje. But it's another thing to have beaten Spider-Man, Iron Fist, Captain Americak Marvel's Top H2H fighters. Let's be real here if they were to actually fight H2H Storm would lose.
We don't know how high Storm is flying she could be hovering 5ft-10ft off the ground which isn't hard for Batroc to jump. He jumped from a Floating Casino to the Top of the Empire State building.
I'm not siding with Batroc, but i'm trying to get you guys to understand how little issue this really is.....
Where catching up to Scott Summers Respect Thread !! LOL.
I wasnt making the case she would win. I was making the case if she was just standing on the ground she wouldnt be so slow to be tagged without making some sort of counter. However, she was just standing on the ground she was in the air. How would batrog be fast enough to tag her with a drop kick while she was flying?
I dont care that he tagged all the most powerful mutants. I'm glad actually it wasnt just storm. what I'm more put off by is that kitty was FREAKING DRUNK and was able to handle herself effortless while the others (who were sober) couldnt pull in one good hit, with the exception of pyro biting his arm.

I think we agree that while Storm is skilled she isn’t winning against Batroc, and I don’t think that’s the point. The instance is just an example to illustrate one of the takeaway/turn off points with respect to the writer’s approach.
That being said I think the bigger question is....what is about these x-writers over the years that has turned you off of their books/the way they write Storm in a story? I mentioned a few of mine in my bigger post on the previous page. What draws you in? What do you think makes for an idea story that includes Storm?
Btw - X-Force preview looks good!
exactly!!!
and honestly everything the main xbooks have given us since the wedding ended has been a big disappointment with the exception of her solo. from her being headmistress, to ivx mostly none of it was executed in a manner that reminded me of why I fell in love with the character. we had a few gems: willow Wilson and Brian wood, also storm on scarlett spider and in the Wolverines, gods xmen in wolverine and the xmen. however there are way many more stories that were just bad to awful the worst being ivx. the fact she couldnt do anything against a cloud was just plain lazy.
