    Or is it more about the narrative that you are consuming (i.e. a character having off-screen romantic relationships undercuts the on-screen romances being actively developed)?
    Plain and simple they took the fun out of messing with Jott fans or them messing with me. The arguments or conversation end when someone says they are all sleeping together.

    I am okay open relationships, but now something else needs to get my attention and that mean the story better be damn good.

    What the hell is "strict monogamy"?
    Monogamy but strict, I think.

    I didn't know only teenagers get affected when a big facet of their parents' life changes. "Hey my mom's banging some other dude besides my dad. But whatever, I'm 18+."

    I mean, thank God. We've had Scemma vs Jott debates since Morrison.

    I guess neutral. Nothing wrong with it, but if it's going to be a thing in the comics, it should have been more developed. There seems to be at least one concrete thing going on, but everything still seems vague and open to different interpretations (to some degree) as to who is with who. Maybe things will be clarified down the line, but something this major should have been handled more delicately. In my opinion at least.

    As for the four/three it's currently implied for, I don't think it fits them either (at least without very good explanation) but that's an entirely different conversation and something that I just view from my own perspective. Others seem to be enjoying it and that's fine

    I'm told there's an entire genre of films based on related premises.

    If Cardinal Nightcrawler does not disapprove, then it isn’t immoral in the mutant religion.

    Gotcha. I had to Google 'galaxy brain' and it said the meaning had turned from 'good' to 'insult'.
    I must admit that confused me since I can't see how anyone could hate the idea of Storminatrix.

    It’s basically.. Jean has two boyfriends. That’s not Polyamory. Until we see Wolverine and Cyclops *******....It isn’t Polyamory. Jean is married to Scott and...******* Logan on the side. I don’t like it but that’s the canon right now.

    I mean Jean hasn't even really acknowledged Rachel as her daughter or had a mother/daughter relationship with her on paper lol.

    Kid Cable has lived in an apocalyptic future, he won't have mine or yours point of view on this kind of things.

    If we see deeper, all of the people involved haven't had a common human life that would allow us to put ourselves in their position. They've been merged with cosmic entities, they've been dead and now they live in a deathless society. They're probably tired of monogamy after having gone through all of that.

    I like Storminatrix...but only in very selective circumstances.
