Age of X-Man: The Amazing Nightcrawler #1 (spoilers/discussion)

[Anduinel]

The moral of the story, love kills!

Well, if Leo and Kate hadn't been mooning around on the deck, distracting the lookout, the boat never would have hit the iceberg. So.... XD

[anyajenkins]

There ya go, more proof, love kills, all hail the savior Nate! Bet the movie won a dozen oscars.

In this here 99% perfect Utopia, the only rule is, "don't fuck".

So what do the X-Men do? Fuck.

So ungrateful. Lol

Biggest mystery of the book:
Why are Irma and Celeste sleeping in the same bed?

They like to snuggle?

They've slept together a few times. This one is from Endsong.

They need to stay close to ward off the horny.

I liked this slice of life in a celebrity setting tale, where you can seemingly have it all, but still be left wanting... feel like something's missing. That life can be lil' more than an ongoing 'performance' in many ways, brought about by chasing an ideal, that can never be achieved. Not to mention the temptation of the proverbial...

(And yes, the symbolism of the apple is something we see again in this issue.)...

... forbidden fruit. Symbolism, indeed.

Weird if the concept of love or emotional ties and family are banned or viewed negatively why they are portrayed in movies? It should not be the other way around?...

'Cause Hollyweird is the land of make-believe, and detached from reality, or something to that effect. Meggan says it herself, "We're the theater people. The strange ones."

And apparently NUDE?! However slight, there was a sense of incestuous intimacy, that the panel depiction lent itself to.

I like the bit about the cuckoos flaunting their familial relationship. Its an interesting concept in this universe that not only is romance prohibited but family bonds are to be downplayed too.

Yeah, any sort of emotional attachment in general, seems to be frowned upon & greeted with contempt.

New theory: Dani or Mystique in AOXM is Phoebe.

Hmm... a TP 'masking' themselves? Interesting possibilities, there.

...

And I do find it a bit disturbing that Kurt, instead of calling out a wrong as a wrong, as Amara does, opts instead to stay in-character, so to speak, and just steers everyone's attention back to having a good time. ...

Human nature = comfort > discomfort. Very WASPish, avoiding unsettling conflict in any way. The 'let's-just-pretend-it doesn't-eXist' way of dealing with things. If we don't acknowledge and/or address unresolved problems, maybe they'll just go away, on their own. After undoubtedly being eXposed to so much misery, Kurt probably just wants everybody to get along.

eh, i thought it was ok. out of the three books released so far this has been my least favorite. i'll continue to read it, but i wasn't in love with it

[Luckystar.]

Definitely the weakest of the AoX bunch so far. Not that it was bad, just dull.

Theater People
it's theater, people

thee at or

“Actors in any capacity, artists of any stripe, are inspired by their curiosity, by their desire to explore all quarters of life, in light and in dark, and reflect what they find in their work. Artists instinctively want to reflect humanity, their own and each other's, in all its intermittent virtue and vitality, frailty and fallibility.”
― Tom Hiddleston

*remarkably poor quality print edition, shoddy cut, staples aslant - a shame really, the real thing being so hastily wrought
and these modern bags with those easily split seams.

[King_Thor13]

Shouldn't there have been a bagged cover for this with the secret history of the Age of X-Man?
