Look I get that your thing is playing Devil’s advocate for the X-writers and tbh there are many times that I have agreed with you that the anger and frustration vented towards them for smaller, insignificant slights towards Ororo have been blown out of proportion. This is not one of those times. Even I can’t play middle of the aisle with the fact on a special XMM dedicated to MLK and his leadership for African American freedoms on his national holiday, there wasn’t a single full sentence showing love or appreciation for the X-men’s and quite frankly all of comicdom’s most popular and important African American superhero. A SINGULAR SENTENCE in reference to her importance or tenure as an heroine in general and especially in black communities. No one cares that he loves Scott and Logan, I’m not saying he should’ve said “less” about them. He should’ve however had the mental capacity to acknowledge 1 of the 2 greatest known X-men leaders. When you think X-leaders you think Cyclops and Storm with Xavier as a mentor/teacher, period. That is not up for debate. Everyone knows that. Just how out of touch do you have to be to not realize that she should be mentioned in this article out of all the topics they’ve had?? What’s worse is that the only times outside of claiming her and Cyke “felt like leaders” that she was mentioned was to highlight her failures! That’s when it turned from tactless ignorance to just plain disrespect. You can claim all you want that he “never had the chance” or “was never asked the question” but that’s a poor man’s excuse for what was an obvious, blatant oversight. He found a way to mention everyone from Kitty, to Emma, to Kurt, Logan and Scott in a positive light, reflective of there influence in the X-world. It’s clear now that to him, Storm has none.

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!!!!!
Ahhh!
I understand fully.
Readers were expecting an article speaking about specific X-Leaders, specifically and instead we were given "X-Leadership: Generally Speaking"
I sympathise, that's really got to suck.
Lord Ewing *Praise His name! Uplift Him in song!* Your divine works will be remembered and glorified in worship for all eternity. Amen!
you're right. these creative minds are going to do whatever they want despite being called out but baby its sure does feel good to see people call it out for what it is. thos article is why I dont believe ororo will have a greater influence on the xside. if they cant formulate one sentence as to her impact as a leader you think there are truly any significant plans for the character moving forward in the x-franchise? highly doubtful.

Yeah that’s exactly it. I’m really not one to complain just to complain, trust me. But when your article literally states that it’s going to “celebrate leaders of the X-men” in honor of MLK, our most important African American leader, and you don’t give Storm any due? Yeah it’s upsetting to me for sure. I usually hold my tongue but this just seemed wildly inappropriate. Not looking to take shine away from anyone else. Just give Storm what she deserves at least in this instance, damnit! Lol
ororo how long have storms fans been asking for the character to get respect in her own franchise? DOD emma really get more love as a leader than ororo within the article? if that's the case this should hopefully make it clear how the highest creative team feels as it relates to storm.
it actually looks like shes doing everything in her power to stop being stomped on but her face seems to show she cant stop it. I'm sorry curious to see the full panel for this.
