This is Chris Claremont exposed.

I guess my hang up with how some people here are reacting to the episode is that I'm not taking it all that literal. I still see it as Tina having to choose what exactly is important in her life and her also having to fight (whether its internal or external) what it actually means to grow up. Yes, having an…

Except she's also someone that will forever remain 13. Not to mention growing up and maturing is in no way a straight line…and especially not on this show.

I mean, from an outside perspective maybe, but that reading kind of ignores what we know about Tina and how much effort she puts into the non-reality portion of her life. I sort of saw it as not abandoning something that makes you happy just because it doesn't exactly live up to what you think it should be.

That's Mr. Pinecone!

When he's in a room with Idris Elba maybe?

I think I heard filming for Part 1 is starting in November.

Watching Concussion at the end of last year and couldn't stop thinking about how great Gugu Mbatha-Raw would be as Monica. Also, I'd just say fuck it and call her "Dr. Spectrum." Of course I'd also just call Adam Brashesr (Blue Marvel) "Hyperion."

There were also two specials she was in in '89 and '94 respectively done by Dwayne McDuffie and M.D. Bright…how kick ass would that series have been?

It's not but considering Marvel is pretty holding firm in one genre and there are many more avenues for creators to do other things (including options in other media), a number of creators have been more inclined to create new characters in the superhero universes because it's not as likely they'd get to flex those…

You know, David's really the main writer to actually use Lorna. Otherwise she's usually being shuffled off camera and the only time she got major focus in X-Men, Claremont had her possessed almost all the time (either by Erik the Red or Malice). She is a really underused character.

I'm pretty sure they're only half siblings (but I could be wrong).

It was annulled in a fight scene no less.

Some of which also happen to be CGI.

They did a good job of inferring the Klaw is definitely not welcome in Wakanda. If/when he shows up in Black Panther, he'll probably have a laundry list of other crimes.

Would "security chief" pass the Bechdel test?

I still want to know how her parents were killed and she was trained as a theif in Egypt but then made her way down to Kenya where Xavier recruited her.

Right, it's more a result rather than a catalyst.

You never see Dr. J throw around his credentials the way Gene Simmons does.
