Unpopular/Controversial Opinions

I don't think she's been wrecked at all tbh, just victim to bad writing which happens to all characters at some point. The X-Men is my franchise of choice but I love Wanda, and it's true that a lot of the fans who can't let Decimation go look incredibly hypocritical when the X-Men have taken in the likes of Wolverine, Emma Frost, Namor, Magneto, Apocalypse, Mystique, Exodus, Frenzy, etc.

I don't really like the "Pretender" stuff either because I prefer the Maximoffs as Magneto's kids, and Wanda fits nicely into the HoX storyline of Moira/Charles/Erik conspiring to have reality warping children. I hope by the time Hickman is done he's re-established Magneto as their father.

My unpopular opinion is that while Marvel (and comics in general) do need to stop pandering to the lowest common denominator AKA social injustice warriors, they barely understand how to write "diverse" characters properly, with rare exceptions. Captain Marvel's books are almost always terrible, I tried to read one and she was fighting stereotypical male chauvinist villains who were telling her to get back into the kitchen, or some other such nonsense. That's not how you write a feminist hero in 2021. It's hamfisted and will turn people off.

Sure, she's been wrecked. She's never achieved her former status in comics. Ever. Never has been back on the main Avengers, and also never stays in comics for long. Then is gone for more months or even years.

I don't prefer her as Mags kid. If anything that put her down this path. Keep her away from the X-books.

The Hulk and The Thing's kids are going to be the most interesting.

I think Kitty/Kate Pryde is a great character and if people dislike her she seriously isn't written for you. She is great representation and honestly let little girls have someone that looks like them. Sorry you don't want to date Kate Pryde she's simply not for you or that reason.

I guess their evil is somehow ok?

I never got the love for her character

[irlkittypryde]

I think honestly the love for her character or ,for me at least, is seeing someone who not only looked like me/acted like me but also had the same identity/cultural background as me (judaism). It's just refreshing to see yourself in a character. Kitty/Kate is far from a perfect character but she still is near and dear to my heart more or less

[TheRay]

I don't think age should be taken into account when coming up with superhero/villain codenames.

Some controversial opinions:

1. I liked Carol and Rhodes together and wouldn't mind if that sticks

2. I vastly prefer whe the Avengers and X Men work together instead of against each other

3. Carol Danvers gets unfair hate and most who call her bland forgive other characters who are arguably just as bland

X-franchise should not complain about "Avengers not helping them" when it's actully franchise tribalism effectively preventing Avengers characters from entering their X-franchise stories and help.
Like seriously, some X-writers pretty much created their own problems to complain about later.

I never got the hate for her character. She’s been written poorly before but who hasn’t? I like that she introduced the concept of a young female POV X-Men character.

To be fair I think Hickman is teasing us more than blaming the Avengers character but not all X-writers do that Ewing has been more fair with Wanda on his comics and Si Spurrier is doing a story that criticizes Krakoa´s inner life so it´s more a matter of the take certain writers take on the story.

But I will say this, I personally hate the way Aaron and some other writers have been taking parts of the X-men mythos only to missuse them, like the Phoenix, I don´t really see the point of making it Thor´s mother to be honest when the story of Gea being his mom was around for such a long time. That would be my controversial oppinion

I liked Kitty Pryde when Chris Claremont wrote her. Now that it’s no longer the case… far less.

So right. It annoys me, because we know they can't be in each franchises so often. Then writers turn it and make avengers look bad for not being there every issue

Agree. Also we know x-fans would complain if the Avengers were showing up all the time.

Maybe not all X-Fans would, but many would.

To me it's kinda stupid to blame in-world characters for out-of-world actions.

Why exactly is she popular?
