Marauders #17 spoilers

[Devaishwarya]

While I thoroughly enjoyed this issue...9.5 /10
I have two miniscule nits...

1: Storm fighting up close and personal wearing her cape (she knows better)...Duggan and Lolli missed a golden opportunity to have Storm wear her classic costume as an homage to their first fight.
2: I would have loved at least one more page of fighting.

I’m waiting for the Bobby/Christian/Shinobi love triangle to be expanded upon. Mr. Frost keeps playing with these boys’ hearts.

Didn't get to read this until late last night, solid issue that made me excited for the gala. The 2 page spread with Storm and Callisto was something to behold.

You argue a lot "there are villains in Krakoa!" as if Kingpin were not the mayor of New York or Norman Osborn the director of a psychiatric-correctional facility.

Those situations are not at all the same as the Quiet Council. Supervillains gaining positions of power is not the same as the heroes giving supervillains positions of power.

The term supervillian is relative and they arent supervillians on Krakoa

[Uncanny X-Man]

Marauders is a book that started off with a bang and then lost a bit of steam but this issue definitely brought it back to the top for me.

I took this issue to mean that Storm is being written out of Marauders? I wonder if she's poised to leave the QQ as well and join Scott and Jean's X-Men team or launch the millionth X-spin-off?

As there’s no hero, then…

Most of the Quiet Council are not heroes.

Jean, Ororo, Kurt, Emma and Kate are heroes.

Magneto, Exodus, Mystique, Xavier, Apocalypse, Sinister and Shaw are not.

The big key difference for Krakoa is that they chose to bring them to Krakoa. People being born in America and growing up to be evil or assholes is different than giving evil people a freebie.

There's a difference to, say, Dylan Roof, and then inviting Dylan Roof to your private town and/or putting him as a head of your government, to hang out with all the people he's wronged

Yeah, this are completely different situations. IDK why people defend so much the nazis on a comic book that is a minority alegory

Apocalypse is a supervillain, Sinister too.

I want the Acanti to come a-calling and whisk her away for some cosmic space-whale related adventures.

Apocalypse is a supervillain, Sinister too.

Was a supervillian. Apocalypse hasnt been used in that capacity since Blood of the Apocalypse 15 years ago. Besides everyone has been given a chance to start anew on Krakoa. No one came to the island as a villian. What they do now can make them but no one is acting as such, at least not openly that can be called out

Some villains aren't having this new blank slate start. Sinister is doing his devil things and Omega red already did his.

Sinister was given a blank slate. He's not acting against Krakoa and no one is aware of any underhanded things he might be doing. He's literally not being an antagonist to anyone

Omega Red is not a citizen living on Krakoa and is currently being used as a double agent against his own knowledge

Speaking of Christian, I listened to a podcast a little while ago that mentioned some disappointment with his twinkish design, and I agree. He's supposed to be older than Emma, I would like him to look a bit more daddy.

Where is this podcast? I'd love to hear someone who discuss in details the X-men.

Other than that, I'm not only fine with him looking twinky-ish, but I wouldn't have him any other way. If he was daddy-ish, he'd look like any other man characters in a hero book. Take Cyclops, who was supposed to be slim but has the same amount of muscle as Wolverine.

Not only that, but people can get older without gaining weight, like Jared Leto who is almost 50 as has a body of 25 yo guy.


Edit: The image is a lot larger than expected. Sorry for that.

CEREBRO?
Love that pod.

Yep. I've only listened to a few episodes, they're a bit on the long side, but I enjoy Goldsmith's commentary.

Well to be fair, Lollli makes everyone but Sebastian look like they're barely drinking age.

I agree. I think Lolli is a good artist but I don't love his style for some of these characters.

IDK why people defend so much the nazis on a comic book that is a minority alegory

Because as we all know the best way to combat nazism and racist ideologies are to pretend they don't exist and hope they go away. Obvious villains have no place in superhero comics.
