At this point in the story unless you are one of Gillen's pet characters (Hope, Sinister, Exodus) I don't think anyone else should feel optimistic about their character getting any sort of real "moment" in this. I was just talking in the Jean thread about how he missed a perfect opportunity to display both the subtly and raw power of being an Omega telepath. I mean I don't want to damper anyone's excitement who may actually be happy about this issue/event but it's just not my cuppa and yes I'm in the corner that is thrilled he's not writing Storm but at the same time my pov isn't limited to JUST Storm...
Yeah that was a soft flop for me. They are REALLY REALLY REALLY stressing the whole "team work" idea even when it makes 0 sense. This panel in particular makes me facepalm so hard I broke my nose.
So we as readers are just suppose to ignore the fact that Jean could've taken the bug out, contained it, and then crushed it or just flat out atomized the thing?
As for Storm, you are absolutely correct! Where was the wind manipulation? Where was the EMP strike (even if they were immune to it, just TRY it), where was the attempt to just directly suck the energy out of them? Then you add in Jean's tk to the mix and the BEST plan of action was to fry Wolverine?
Storm and Jean together should make whole ass pantheons tremble but they out here getting played by the Raid mascot.
To be frank I'm not upset at all by this development. Nothing against BP as a whole, but it's perfectly clear that neither the X-Office or the BP office have any interest in actually making this relationship into a functional ADULT relationship. So yeah, I'm thrilled they finally cut ties with the relationship. I do hope the remain friends though since they do share that history that has been cemented time and time again. But as for lovers? Nosir, that sh!(T)p has sailed in my book.
Furthermore, the current writer of BP is garbage. Like I'm sorry but even as a 2/10 BP fan I found that last page to be downright INSULTING to his character.
If that had been Storm crying out abt not wanting to be alone and asking T'challa to not leave her, we'd want
BLOOD to be spilled!*
