Definitely not advocating for half stories and would much rather it be fully explored or not present at all! I just go with it because the only other option is that they’re all active cheaters and liars, which in my opinion is worse than a half-baked open relationship. Plus I think them all cheating would lead to more inconsistencies, because they all seem genuinely happy around each other. That’s not really the temperament of people hiding an affair.
I stopped caring about characterizaion on Hickman era, it is not like there wasn't cheating involved before so whatever.
The way it is presented it gives people free reign to think for theirselves, that is why they never really explore it. So people pressing others to accept it is very wrong
bc it was already established that the PF was a seperate cosmic entity that could possess others. The precedence for that was set when she was resurrected and they were retconned into being different characters. Originally Phoenix was just an evolution of Jean's powers. Had that stuck, the likelihood that what we are seeing now happen, would be low or non-existent
They could always retcon it later, there is no guarantees that nobody would use it again. It's the most iconic X-men story
Yeah, they want to let it open. There is a interview with the chief editor that he said that every shipper would be right. it is almost like a choose your own adventure
Good chaarcterization already flew out of the window since Hickman took over. i'm just waiting for someone clear the mess
She's not written for me but i do think you have a point about people wanting to sleep with her. I think some writers have been open about having a crush on Kitty.
My own unpopular opinion is that people have a far more unhealthy relationship with Rogue's sex life. Some of the posts that happened around Carey's run were kind of disturbing.
It's not being used as an homage to DPS thank goodness. But just the continued use of Phoenix has gotten ride of anything specials about it, and has made Jean look worse. Why can anyone suddenly become Phoenix? The whole point of DPS was that even a person with a moral compass as good as Jean couldn't wield it and now Wolverine can for some reason...
Wolverine is somehow less morally problematic than Jean? Talk about making Jean look bad as a character.
