great analysis boo. I think your analysis here is spot on as usual. and you're tight he did have a big emotional response to his father denouncing him. I thought that part where he was crying was a flashback.
and agreed to your point about where he will leave these two. I had just had a convo with another ororo friend and I asked the question: what would we be talking about as it pertains to ororo if not for Coates? for all the grief some give him I think if people really reflected on that question they, as ororo fans, would be more appreciative of his efforts.
