    I can also confirm there's a very sweet moment between Scott and Jean in X-Men #4.

    But this is definitely an issue that showcases why Jean is such a powerhouse. She really makes it clear just how powerful and compassionate she is by the end of his. I definitely recommend picking this issue up.

    Kinda again:

    spoilers:
    I actually thought her characterization was all over the place and the issue felt like a quasi-filler intended more to advance a bit the secondary plots than portray an actual story.
    end of spoilers

    And hey! I appreciate it too!!!

    I didn't write before because was having a really bad day yesterday, so I just replied to some private messages.

    But, really, thank you for sharing those pieces of art with us. I love this couple so much! It's always nice to see them.
    Thanks =)

    And Lucy too!

    It's all kinds of awesome because we can have some actual discussions about comics without the usual passive aggressive/hostile comments. Stuff like: "if you don't like it, don't read it", which is arrogant and entitled and I'm so tired of reading it at this point, I rarely post anywhere else.

    But just because people don't post here, it doesn't mean they don't check it out.

    My inbox isn't full.

    I received your message but I couldn't reply to it yesterday because your inbox was full. When that's the case, you can't send a new message either, because a copy of it is supposed to be saved automatically in the "sent items" folder but it can't be saved if you have stored 100 messages already.

    Considering the events in my real life, though, I may prefer to skip this trash entirely.
    I donÂīt think he will write her too different from her appareances on X-force, itÂīs a Wolverine story after all so I expect her to be on support capacity, so yes, probably itÂīs best if you avoid it, because I get the sense heÂīs still going to write them as a couple. Or at least thatÂīs the sense I get from the covers, I could be wrong but I think you should read thinks that really are going to interest you.

    I like the description before her line much better than her actual line.

    "A familiar voice speaks to me through it. It's a whisper, a shout and a choir. Every eternal syllable dances through me."

    You don’t follow that with “You’re an idiot”. You don’t do that to a fan of this relationship who has been waiting 12 years for their interaction!!!!!

    Nope.

    You just donÂ’t.
    ouch, I see your point now, I guess Gillen was being sarcastic in ScottÂīs ideation of Jean but yes, I totally get how that definitley wasnÂīt the way to go for a couple so long separated.

    ”Operation: Get Cyked, Cyke” about to commence!
    Awesome, I will get the tea from Mags to attract him and then we bring him to your home :P

    Honestly? I think S.W.O.R.D. only appears to be great in comparison to the rest. ItÂ’s mostly good, but itÂ’s far from brilliant. It suffers from some of the same problems as the others, including the biggest one of this Krakoa era: *everything* is convenient. DonÂ’t get me started on Mysterium.
    Well Ewing is not done yet with the Mysterium idea and it becoming a new currency after a hard economic period is actually something that has happened in the real world sometimes and I always like those small call offs to reality even in a scifi-comic. I also loved how much effort he puts into writting well lesser know characters and actually respects the continuity of the older ones, I am really looking forward to see more issues by him and hopefully he will keep Mags around after Inferno and ToM are done.

    ]I like that story too.
    Its was beatiful and one of the first I read with just Scott and Jean as protagonists.


    You mean Major Nelson?
    Him, yes, I enjoyed his interactions with Jen so much.

    Infinite space, ‘cause I can always write more when more thought bubbles need a home.
    Welcome home bubble thoughts :P

    But before XoS, they barely interacted (up to that point, Emma appeared more in that book than Jean who is his mother). That event is really what started shifting their relationship into a more actually romantic one and I think people must have responded well to it.
    I agree, before that scene I supposed they were together but also in an open relationship but I donÂīt think Emma played a big part there either, more like Storm did imo.

    LetÂ’s hope Percy doesnÂ’t screw this up again.

    As for Jean in the X-Force, itÂ’s like I told you: if Percy didnÂ’t want anyone opposing HankÂ’s behaviour and trying to steer the X-Force into a group which is limited by a certain code of ethics, why the hell did he put Jean there?
    Exactly, whereÂīs the fun in writting a former well meaning and ethical X-man into making increasingly wrong choices for the wrongs reasons if thereÂīs no one there to offer a counter point to him and his methos? half the fun I had with Astonishing X-men was seeing Kitty call out Emma every other issue with actually good reasons and I thought Jean would have played a good part being that given her friendship with Hank.

    Really: it was just to be LoganÂ’s girlfriend. Which is insulting and wrong in so many levels I wonÂ’t even start to list them!
    Agreed. This really bothered me too.

    That story amounted to nothing. Ugh. I doubt weÂ’ll see any difference in the characters behaviour what-so-ever.

    And yes: his portrayal of Kurt is infuriating..
    Agreed, his Kurt had some good moments but honestly even TAS Kurt could run phylosophical circles around his Kurt and not break a sweat.

    Marvel to us: “Trial is not in the sense of a court trial, you silly readers. You thought so? You’re so cute! No, no. We didn’t mean it like that. Sure, there was a murder and we advertised that to no end, but trial here is used in the sense of someone being tested and going through a difficult time, obviously.”

    DonÂ’t you love when they gaslight us?

    As for Mags and LornaÂ… ughÂ… I honestly donÂ’t know how youÂ’re stomaching that story, Lucy.
    I am not mad at there being no trial, I actually enjoy when trials in comics have more than one meaning but her handle of Magnus is just plain bad and I can only handle it by thinking on the past of the story I actually liked. I am just mad they decided to use his name to sell a comic in which he has such horrible characterization and to force a separation between him and Lorna.

    I am dealing with it in part because JMC and Salarta have been very patient with me and my rants :P but also because as bad as it sounds, marvel has done Magneto dirty so many times that we Magneto fans expect stories like this one once a while, with Morrison being the biggest example of how bad marvel can handle Erik, so I just hope this doesnīt hurt his chances for future stories and I would be lying if Leah is the first writer to ruin his relationship with his kids, that sadly is a ship that already sailed a long time ago, I am just hoping another writer can heal some of the damage.

    These people only understand buzz words: “Cultural imperialism. Want to be neutral? Use the word of your own language: Latin”. ThatÂ’s what I suggest you them if you ever have to.
    I think so too. We canÂ’t just accept every idea that gets pushed on social media. This is madness.
    Agreed if we did that the word would be crazier than it already is, not even social media knows what social media wants and honestly, how Latins call ourselves is not of their bussines.

    WeÂ’ll request asylum, then, to make it official.
    It will be great. ;p

    Right on the money, Lucy. And you bet this pun - though more obscure - was intended. *wink*

    Exactly. DonÂ’t make Fabian Cortez more palatable on an issue people should be defeating effing Onslaught!

    Argh!
    Yes, this was the moment to show how awesome was Kurt and David, not to make a half hearted effort to redeem Fabian. If that was the point I think he could have used more issues showing more of his qualities and less about how horrible he can be.

    - Genius 1: We canÂ’t push the Forge into the Sun. So, I guess we need to send three mutants to fight Nimrod instead.
    - Clueless-person-there-to-validate-the-geniuses: How many times?
    - Genius 2: As many as it takes.
    To repeat the same action and expect different results is madness indeed, ItÂīs like they forgot how to plan and fight.

    Yeah, re-writing her personality was the worst part. Hands down. But I really donÂ’t like her being a mutant. The Legacy Virus stuff could have been explained in many other BS ways. Those are Marvel comics after all.

    I also miss KavitaÂ…
    I miss all the humans allies, Valerie Cooper, Kavita, Moira, Gabrielle, Stevie, we just need more allies to make up for them or they should come back in some way.

    Nothing against romantic relationships at all. But Hickman uses them to convince us those characters have depth and then proceeds to write whatever the hell he wants because it’s like he thinks he covered the “my characters should be likeable” requirement. Also, he often uses those marriages as excuse for silly character motivations (regardless of canon) and plots.

    I don’t buy it.
    I think he wanted to give Apocalypse a deeper motivation and thatīs alright with me, what I didnīt like was other characters acting like he was just misguided when in reality he can and will still be very brutal to other mutants and humans for his own ends. Depth also means allowing the characters to keep being themselves and to actually allow them face the music if the story calls for it. Not just do a quick, everything is good again, without any kind of effort or regret from the character in question, it cheapens the story because its not believiable. So I liked his take on A, I just want the other characters to react according to who heīs actually and what heīs done.

    IÂ’d be more worried about that if that story was happening in DugganÂ’s Marauders.
    Probably but Hickman is also an Emma fan and that first scene on Inferno gave me all the feels of a girl power moment and I didnīt like it but we will see what happens.


    If thatÂ’s the case, IÂ’ll be here for you and you can rant or cry or rage all you want.
    Thank you, I honestly hope next week Leah leaves alone whatīs left of Lorna and Magneto relationship and focuses on Wanda instead. So far her handle of her and the mystery around her dead has been good.

    Yeah. And since Scott broke the protocol already, I can even Dark Phoenix with my dark brown hair. Getting this hair to look red would be a pain! :P
    My hair would look bad if I tried this too, itīs too dark, it would just look a little red at the ends so thanks Scott for helping us


    IsnÂ’t that the minimum you should know and accept as truth *before* you get hired to write the X-Men flagship? Marvel's job interviews must be precious. :P
    I think his job interview was the Secret Wars crossover, from then on, Hickman is being allowed a lot of freedom. I liked that crossover, no problem from me on that point but it only increases my pessimism to see how he could have handled the X-men better than he did or maybe I am not getting what heīs trying to do but I definitely would have liked if he didnīt transform Moira or forced the characterization of other characters, so I hope he at least ends on a good note.



    Maybe I should give it another try. But I donÂ’t know what it is about HickmanÂ’s styleÂ… I like some of the ideas, but I find the writing boring.
    I recomend you his FF run, itīs very human and plain fun and I hoped to see touches of this on his X-men, his Avengers story was just a continuation of his FF story and his New Avengers was him totally making the illuminati doing a heel turn but mostly in character.

    IsnÂ’t it? ItÂ’s like a little gift from the universe.
    Yes, its special.

    IÂ’d say IÂ’d love if StepfordScott would explode himself due to too much laughter, but theyÂ’d just bring him back, so what would be the point?

    I just want my real baby back!
    I hope we see him soon ;P

    WellÂ… the artist there isnÂ’t a fan of drawing backgrounds, so there was an issue where the kids were training in an open space and then using some jungle gym equipment in anotherÂ… IÂ’m not sure IÂ’d call it a training facility.
    I guess given how krakoa doensīt use traditional tecnology, this is supposed to be a new facility made by Krakoa.

    It really wasnÂ’t the case. She spent quite some time in Krakoa/missions after she was rescued and before her death. Her mind was certainly scanned during that period so Onslaught didn't eat those memories. Someone must have edited her back-up.
    That was my idea too but I guess we still have to wait to see what happened.

    And weÂ’re not the only ones. Other readers have said the same. What does it tell you about Marvel?
    That sometimes they use too much the shock and awe and then forgot how to send the genie back into the bottle? I, like many other readers, just like to read a good story and shock and awe alone is not enough, definitely.

    As someone who thinks he sometimes needs that calls off, I do think marvel has overdone it the last few years, yes, heīs not done everything perfectly but he still used his fortune to train and teach a group of kids into being superheros when he could have easily led a confortable life with his powers and money, he has sacrificed himself for his own cause many times and has tried to do the best he could, I would say his main flaw is his inflexibility on some matters but other characters are like this too and I just want to see a grow up relationship between him and Scott.

    Beatiful images of Jean and Scott btw, I enjoyed the issue, mostly because of Jean reasons to join the X-men team, I am looking forward to see Lornaīs argument on issue #5

    About Jean and Scott: they have other issues/flaws. Those were just examples of things that are not very positive about them, but those things are still very endearing to me because they make the characters feel like real people.

    As for Erik, the throne (and the cape - let’s not forget the cape) is just a symbol of his weird but delicious relationship with power. His nuance and complexity when it comes to that (not the big chair) makes him interesting even if that’s not one of the most admirable traits about him. So, please, when I say throne, read the whole pathos around it. Not the piece of furniture itself. :)

    I actually prefer him in the grey zone too. If he could just be written in a little less insufferable way in this Krakoa era, I’d appreciate it.

    Part of it is really not his fault. As we’ve established, the man is magnetic. He turns around and that cape sweeps majestically and everyone goes: “whoa!”

    And I don’t blame them. Do you?

    That’s good. But it’s also fun when we don’t agree. I believe it was due to a disagreement that tea became a recurrent joke between us. And it turns out we were being prophets!

    I’d describe it as delicious because it’s so contradictory at first sight! :D

    It’s canon and we agree that they truly admire each other. Normally, this makes men more prone to work together. What is weird is that it doesn’t work like that for them. And when you add the fact that they can work with other people, it seems even odder.

    So there *must* be something else there. Something that is actually very irrational.

    Charles being a telepath and a psychiatrist and an intellectual is probably very aware of it. And yet, he cannot prevent this dynamic from happening. That shows you how this stuff must come from a really primitive, really instinctual part of the brain.

    Now, you could say: “that’s definitely a pent-up sexual tension”, but I find this explanation boring and reductive. I’m a woman, but of all the males in my life I wouldn’t pick a single one and say: “he’s motivated by sex and nothing else”. ‘Cause you know, attached to the testicles there’s a whole human being, who is also complex and who has a mind that works and process information and actions on multiple levels of awareness.

    So how do I see this, really? I think their admiration makes them recognise the ultimate mutant leader in the other. That’s why they trigger each other.

    They see the ultimate mutant leader and they disagree with his ideology on principle, so they can’t help each other because they know that if they do, such a leader would crystallize that ideology with tragic consequences.

    They trigger in each other the primal instinct of protecting the tribe, which is very typical of the male brain (part of the male competitiveness BS I joked about before). And it’s not conscious and they can’t help it exactly because it actually comes from that most primitive part of their brains.

    Does it make sense?

    As I’ve written above, the “trigger” wouldn’t have happened in a conscious level. Now, back then, none of them were thinking of leading mutantkind or that the the other would try that eventually. But it’s the seed, the inception of that struggle between them.

Still Erik was not truly Magneto, so it was not yet a mission statement from him, just his pov on the matter and hereīs where they canīt move,because Charles sometimes interprets this as people or Erik not seeing the goodness of his dream, while in reality they just have different perspectives and story.
    I think both of them understand each other deeply. And yet, they misunderstand each other in a tragic way.

    Please, do remember you asked for it. Here we go:

    After we confessed our… *ahem* admiration for both men, I’d risk saying that if we added Moira to the game and played fu**, marry or kill, it’d would be obvious that we’d kill Moira. :P

    If you ask me who I’d marry, my answer would be: Jean-Luc Picard.

    The spray bottle might not be enough here:

    Not everything fits but it also doensīt change things in a deeper way imo, at least for Charles and Erik, Moira on theo ther hand, had her entire personality rewritten and I donīt think it was worth it.
    I think it fundamentally changes their motivations and the X-Dream itself. But I don’t have it in me to articulate why anymore, mostly because I’m so fed up with this story that I just want it to end already so we can pretend it never happened.

    Yes! And that’s why I think they shouldn’t ever write any story for AoA after that one. Let their world end so the 616 could exist again. Epic and heroic!

    I don’t think you’re wrong, Lucy. But I really hope so, ‘cause I might rage quit this sh** already if that’s the case.

    Tell that to Percy and Hickman, please.

I also loved how much effort he puts into writting well lesser know characters and actually respects the continuity of the older ones, I am really looking forward to see more issues by him and hopefully he will keep Mags around after Inferno and ToM are done.
    Wait… when did we ever retrieve a magic metal from the place where a Cosmic Force and its hosts heals?

    Since we’re talking about characterizations, since when Johana is a calm and collected person?

    I miss that couple they were *so* much.

    Yes. What I loved was that even though, as a genie, she called him master and lived to please him, she was actually the boss. The way she would twist things around was so funny. :D

    You’re loved and appreciated here.

    I honestly do not know what the hell was going on and I can only roll my eyes at it at this point.

    But again: it’s an X-Force book. It just doesn’t fit the thematic.

    Speaking of Emma and Kitty… *sigh*

    Well, I’m glad that BS is over. Now it’s a matter for bracing for the Wolverine event and hope for the best.

    His portrayal is a bit like Onslaught, right?

    Onslaught - psychic monster. That’s all you need to know.
    Kurt - Catholic priest. That’s all you need to know.

    If there is no trial I’ll be mad about how deceitful they were, but really not surprised.

    I do agree about everything else you said here. And it pisses me off, even though I’m not a Mags fan.

    But the fact this has happened so many times already should be reason for them never to do it again, instead of an excuse to keep doing it. I really admire your patience.

    The problem is that they think it is. But they picked the wrong people to try to impose such BS on.
