If you could change any X-men sexuality, who would it be? Why?

[Gav]

But the thing is.. we assume everyone is straight unless told otherwise so if characters later announce that they are gay , bi, pans, ace is it really changing **** or is it adding more nuance.

I don't really have a clear-cut answer to that question. For example, I feel that Iceman being outed as gay (eventually) added a lot of depth to the character... But I also feel that it somewhat undermines some of the heterosexual relationships he's been in, you know?

But nonetheless, I was exaggerating somewhat in my initial post in this thread. Yes, I'm against changing the sexuality of a character, but if/when it happens, it's no skin off my nose (as long as it's written well of course).

I agree that the way that it’s written really makes a difference. The way Iceman was outed (and yes he was forcibly outed) was honestly super gross. It wasn’t a gradual story of self-acceptance it was a complete invasion of privacy. Also, I’m convinced that BMB did it just so that people could point to some lasting impact from his All-New X-Men run.

Yeah, writers like Brian Michael Bendis (or as I like to call them, hacks) aren't suited for telling stories that require nuance and subtetly.

The fact that man keeps getting work is utterly baffling to me.

She showed interests in Gambit and she lowkey flirted with Bishop. I always wonder how close she and shaw were?

Color me shocked.

Now I can see her sorrow while hanging alone at the Krakoa bar, as depressing.

Probably feels she’s so overworked she can’t get a man.

[Zelena]

Why isn’t Selene seducing innocent impressionable young girls on Krakoa?

☹️

Change of heart? Change of life?
Anyway, isn't strange to complain that a character isn't doing dubious things?

Really I’d be interested to see Selene interact with her granddaughter Magma.

The thing with Logan is, you can’t hide your scent from him, even if you are a good Catholic man who shouldn’t be attracted to a mass murder even if he’s his best friend...

Can you imagine, having those eyes looking at you like that? Knowing that you’re hurting one person who never judges you, who always supports you.
And it’s completely unclear in context whether he’s sad for Logan having Ororo or Ororo having Logan. Or both.

Sorry. I can’t see it. Logan did Kurt’s mother Mystique, for goodness sakes!

But then again, Kurt did his own sister Amanda, so you guys have a point!

I rest my case

Psh. Not his sister. Just some girl he knew as a kid, whose family he stayed with for a time. Margali certainly didn't adopt him or anything...
