Celebrating X-Motherhood

[Celestialbodies]

A classic from a past era

Ugh, Guggs if we're going to endure something from that era at least afford us the kindness of a writer who read previous issues of the characters he used. Or at the very least comics that were occurring simultaneously with X-men Gold:

I see you caught the shade too 😁

I know teens are impressionable, but they're not so dumb that they would read a comic and immediately become convinced that being an adolescent parent is the coolest thing in the world. There were a few teen moms in my high school who were very nice people, but I can assure you that none of us other kids saw their situations as something to be envious of.

I'm currently reading a manga about a 16-year old who's on track to have ten kids with a demon lord and it's presented as not being a negative thing. So, at least editors in Japan likely agree with you.

But we're getting away from my point! It's this association of parenthood with "fogeyism". I'm just kind of tired of the media and people who consume media associating marriage, parenthood and just being over the age of 25 as being "old".

Emma and her kids have also been through some tough times

This is one of the last moments I actually enjoyed in Morrisons run. I try not to think of the last issues too much.

This should go in the emotional/powerful moments thread.

Rahne has really been thru everything and then some I swear she's in the dictionary beside the phrase "didn't deserve an ounce of all that"

I remember reading X-Force and then X-Factor Investigations and I was like oh my God just run away to some far, tropical island Rahne and leave it all behind.

She's now on a far, tropical Island so it ended up slightly well.

Jubilee is the only respectful one deserving of the title "Mother".

[PrezValentine]

Motherhood seems to be pretty scarce in X-Men books, apart from characters like Mystique, Jubilee and Jean, even if in the case of the latter it seems to anger some of her fans. The men seem more accepting of clones and time travelers as children (or at least their characters lend themselves more to that), but that's possibly due to their backstory involving too much abandonment and betrayal (like Cyclops, Wolverine, Nightcrawler and Cable). Just a thought. I doubt that'll ever change.

I've always found Rahne to be a selfish, horrible person who deserves every bad thing that happens to her.

Good lord. I've never met anyone else who doesn't like Rahne.

Didn't realize that so many x characters are terrible parents.
