Huh, maybe a moderator merged the posts.
While so far I don't do that around here much, on the Spidey forums I post a lot of scans, but I also like to use emotes, having to choose which scans I'm gonna post and checking out if I'm using too many emotes really sucks, why the hell do emotes count as pictures anyways?
Yeah, potentially broken powers like this are tricky to manage, nerfing them is the easiest way to handle them, which I can understand to an extent, but if you go too far we get DCAU J'onn... And we don't want a character who's for the most part, the unofficial J'obber.
I'm talking about Wolverine And The X-Men, the cartoon made after X-Men Evolution, and the last X-Men cartoon made before this revival the 90's cartoon is getting:
Be warned if you haven't watched that one and are interested in doing so, the focus is obviously on Wolverine, but as a Jean fan, it'll be annoying to see her as little more than a plot device, it's mostly "Cyclops is whining about Jean being gone", then after a while they add "Oh shit she's Phoenix's host", she's only talked about, or shown in brief flashbacks for the most part, only starts to actually show up at the very last episodes, and while you can say she gets more screentime than say, Iceman once she does show up (And Iceman is only kinda there), she's still a plot device for Phoenix and doesn't develop much as a character.
Yeah, forgiving villains is somewhat controversial by itself, doing it poorly can look like a really annoying favoritism, even if it's not the case.
Yeah, specially at the beginning, they could come up with stuff that looks weird now.
Like, I'm reading X-Men since the beginning, and Xavier could actually detect mutants without Cerebro, which he does when he detects Blob:
(X-Men#3 vol 1)
And he only created Cerebro 'cause he was leaving the X-Men to Cyclops, and Cerebro explicitly didn't need a telepath to work:
(X-Men#7)
But anyways, the biggest downside of that era is that, since they didn't really know what worked, with a specific comic, they had to be creative to make an impression, and while we had success stories like Fantastic Four and Spider-Man, the X-Men failed at that, and after a while they were essentially cancelled, until Giant Size X-Men, and then soon after, Claremont, came around, and what a resurrection that was lol.
I was joking about the fainting returning by the way, sorry if that wasn't clear.
Honestly, even if I wasn't aware that one of the producers is a Jean fan, I would have my doubts that Jean would still be this much of a loser, since Jean failing so much is one of the most widely mocked things about the cartoon, so reviving it without trying to improve at least that would be a really moronic decision.
I'm actually kinda fearing she may become too strong and overshadow other characters, but we'll see what'll happens once it's actually out.
