Yeah, fair point. I find most 90's comics writing "no bueno", Claremont included, but I do stand up for him as a writer because the 80's stuff was good, groundbreaking stuff. And I like a bit of purple in my prose.

Could they not just take things to parts of Brooklyn and the Bronx? There are still some mighty rough parts of the city, but fewer and fewer in Manhattan.

"A single issue story from the Silver age?" Nahh, Daredevil had a run in San Francisco, mostly drawn by Gene Colan and written by Steve Gerber.

What, you mean names like McVeigh, Fortier, Nichols and Rudolph?

And I would almost for sure get to see Elizabeth Manley on TV. Which (though I'm sure she's aged, as have I) would be a very good thing.

Well, lay his sales figures up against any of today's writers, ya know? It's a visual medium but a verbal one too. But I'm with lightennglouie that X-Factor #1 is a significant turning point, and not for the better.

This is what happened in the original 2 parter. Rachel sent Kate back to a timeline where Jean had died before Rachel was conceived and born. Kate went to the wrong past.

True dat — the levels didn't stick in my head because they're kind of lame. He ages slow, is what I'm saying, in comics and movies.

The junkie subplot was good but it was silly that walking was a side-effect of the "shutting off the voices in my head" drug. We could understand why X would want to do that. I agree, they should have just kept him in the chair but he could not have decked Eric in the Pentagon basement that way.

Eric's age is stuck because of the Holocaust origin. The youngest he could possibly be is 36 - if he was 6 in the scenes with Shaw in DOFP and it was 1944. But really? He was 12-14 in those scenes and it was 1941 or 1942. Making Eric in '73 a pretty well preserved 43 or so. Omega level mutants age slow.

In the 70's Nixon declared a War on Legs. All bad legs went to prison.

Don't overthink it hub. He just happened to land in his 73 body when 73 Wolvie had hooked up.

I liked it a lot — fun, well-crafted and with some depth. But do y'all think maybe they left a good movie out? In the time between XFC and the 70's portion of DOFP the following occurred as far as I can tell:

Indeed. Kitty was the agent of time travel because (1) Ellen Page is cool (2) Ellen Page is good at acting (3) Kitty was important in the original DOFP so why not make her important here (4) she could be the traveler herself as she wasn't born in '73 (5) she couldn't be the traveler because it had to be Wolverine…

The military is full of people who look like teenagers. Because they are teenagers.

Hugh Jackman in Superman v. Batman: Dawn of Justice as Timber Wolf. Hugh Jackman as Fang from the Starjammers in GOTG2.

My states motto should be "I'm the best at what I do. But what I do is Oxycontin"

The posters are in the Cyrillic alphabet. The Ukranians (along with Bulgarians, Bosnians, Belarussians, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, Macedonians, Mongolians, Montenegrins, Serbs and Tajikhs) would like to remind Vladimir Putin that just because you see a sign in Cyrillic, it doesn't mean you're in Russia.

Possibly Sara went with Nyssa because Nyssa asked her to? I would go anywhere Nyssa asked, I think.

Remember, he's craaaaaaaazy!
