With Kamala, I get it though. The trope works so much better with teenagers than it does when a character is in their 20s or older. There's enough shit going on with a teenager and the general reaction for most of us is that the people around us just won't understand (think how many conflicts could have been solved

I think the thing that annoys me about Finn/Poe is that people really aren't reacting to anything that tangible on screen (they're only in the movie together for about 2 or 3 total minutes…Finn just completely forgets about Poe) but more to Oscar Isaac. I kind of joked about this in various places, but it's kind of

And then those same people write thinkpieces on how too many people are getting offended.

There are more people than just Rowling who stand to gain financially by releasing the script in novel form (or whatever). That alone should be a bit of a red flag but the fact that they've explicitly stated two versions are going to be released kind of cements it. Also, when has "what fans want" been the basis

Well, it's still two guys crafting almost all the show.

Paul Smith's my favorite.

Storm could barely go 3 issues without being totally nude in the '70s and '80s.

Actually I think they separate script writing duties to expedite the production process. They're committed to producing this series through just the two of them, so they could write together more but then that slow down the production process. I mean, they do come up with basic plots together before retreating to

I have trouble even going that far with the first one because Rogue is a really slight character but then again, I've never been a huge fan of the point of view character that's used in just about every beginning X-Men story outside of the comics.

What's funny is I don't think a lot of artists in general grasp wings in general (because they all end up looking Hollywood prop wings) or how they would function if they were on a person. Like the way they generally stick out when Warren isn't using them seems really unnatural to me (as dumb as it sounds to use

You're right, the first two films really are Wolverine films with a few detours. That's always frustrated me about the X-Men films is how singular the character focus is. The characters are there but just as background pieces until they're needed for an action set piece. And there really isn't an attempt for it to

In a large concept sort of way but it kind of annoys me how much he focuses on Charles and Magneto. One of the things that got me on board with the X-Men as a kid was how theses young people (another thing that's sort of gotten lost is how young the X-Mem were) navigated the ideologies of both characters, who were

She has a relatively practical get-up now (and she even got a full body kind of suit during Rememder's Uncanny X-Force run). Unless they changed it post-Secret Wars.

There's a lot you could do with Angel that I think a lot of writers generally overlooked because they couldn't really get past the visual of the character.

"If I open my eyes even a fraction I could pulverize a tank" and so forth.

I want to say Psylocke got her telekinetic powers at the start of Claremont's second stint on the X-Men when he introduced the Neo (and also a Rogue/Colossus relationship that was quickly abandoned). I could be wrong about that and it might actually have been for X-Treme X-Men but those are the two times I remember

That really isn't a terrible idea.

It took me a surprisingly short amount of time to think of a time when each of the ANAD X-Men were naked during the early part of Claremont's run.

I figure the easiest way for someone like me to be friends with Beyoncé is to become president.

I mean, Marvel even turned Jubilee into a goddamn vampire (is that still a thing?) and god knows what's happening with Paige right now. The first ten issues (including the 4 Generation Next AoA issues) were some my favorite comics as a kid and why I still love Bachalo's art today. But then Marvel has been pretty
