And unlike Mystique, Creed being with Monet isn't convoluted.
Mystique has poisoned Creed, double-crossed him, tried to kill him, raped him & hid the fact he had a son which bit him in the ass. The idea he would just forgive & fall in love with her is laughable. He should hate her as much as Logan. In the 90's, he's tried to kill her on three occasions, and got pretty close two of those times. And it's shown he doesn't share ANY of Mystique's goals or beliefs on mutants. So if she's being written properly rather than the one-note psycho she's been turned into, she has no business with Creed. Even on a fuck buddy basis. Especially in the 90's when she was clearly repulsed by him while trying to hook up with Forge.
But him & Monet falling for one another when they're on the same side, with similar goals for over 8 months I can get behind. Unlike with Mystique & Psylocke (the romance fans were theorizing when Bunn mentioned it for Creed), he doesn't have toxic history with Monet.
I will readily admit the way Creed x Monet got handled left A LOT to be desired. But it's still bertter than Marvel trying to constantly shove Creed x Mystique in our faces just to downplay & sell both characters short as the Chucky x Tiffany of Marvel. With Creed as the latter. lol.
But I say again, Cronet could've been handled MUCH better. Instead of Bunn having other characters point out the feelings these two had, maybe have THEM acknowledge said feelings. He says they were in love over a year after his run ended. Showing that with them would've been good. Show a kiss or something, rather than just teasing everything. He had opportunity for that. Then Pak did the same thing in Weapon X. Where it's teased, hinted, and toyed with that Creed & Monet had feelings for each other. But nothing clearly shown. The biggest showing was the giant heart behind them in the prison. That relationship stayed in neutral with a lot of teasing & insinuation, but no clear answers. And I do think that was flawed. If you're gonna hook characters up, do it. If you're not gonna hook them up, why bother with setting stuff up, implying things, getting fans fans invested only to delver nothing.
Again, I always say for all of what her role was, Monet didn't even need to be in Weapon X. Creed was her only reason to be involved with that team & that went nowhere. UNLESS that was something Pak had just enough time to re-establish & Hickman is gonna finish it off on an official note. It's a nice thought, but I won't hold my breath.
