Time for some 2022 appreciation for the Beast!
Time for some 2022 appreciation for the Beast!
Aw. I miss lovable Hank. :*(
Jean Grey in the words of Walt Whitman, from his masterpiece Leaves of Grass, "Song of Myself" (51 and 52):
"Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself, (I am large, I contain multitudes.)"
"Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged, Missing me one place search another, I stop somewhere waiting for you."
From X-Factor #4...after he was de-fuzzed.
My favorite versions of Hank:
Grant Morrison's New X-men. Yes it can be argued that some of his "dark" turn started here - he was a bit moody and depressed, but I loved him in this era. I loved his interaction with Scott, Jean, and Emma for sure. I loved his look. I'm probably the biggest fan there is of Cat Beast.
90's era Blue Team
X-factor Hank
and of course the X-men TAS version. I love Hank that quotes literature, poetry, and often educates others on science. I like a Hank who is more optimistic.
Beast needs to atone for his past behaviors and start trying to be a better person. It is possible to redeem Hank because look at Bishop. Look at Emma - I mean just a few years ago they were trying to turn Emma back into a villain.
It is not too late to make Beast likeable again, but I think the current writers like Beast as a character fans love to hate.
I prefer original brown haired Hank for a de-fuzzing...

Still cannot get used to the bland brown suit from X-Factor - fur or not.
BUT...the spacesuit was good for the storyline from UXM...

Is it okay to appriciate everything about him until Morrison, at which point i feel it just went straight downhill with him, with not only his physical appearance but mindset and personality undergoing radical change towards the wreckage we see still being made worse these days?
Happy New Year Beastie!
