Re: Uncanny Avengers #2

For me at least, it's not that he defends Cap, it's how he does it. "You guys always lose, Cap always wins" is a really odd defense to make for the situation, and seems both (1) inaccurate and (2) bizarre coming from a guy who has begged and pleaded to be an X-man over his career and was recently ru...

Re: Uncanny Avengers #2

Yeah I wasn't digging this issue. The whole Rogue/Cap/Deadpool argument felt really weird and stilted. Like, I understand not wanting Cap on the front lines because they're worried of the risk of Captain Krakoa taking him out, but I'm not sure why they felt the need to couple that with "we think Rog...

Re: Dark X-Men #2

The pacing's a bit off... for example, in one page we go from Maggott leaving to "anyways I convinced Maggott to stay", and it feels weird that Havok died(?) between panels, but overall I do like it. Better to err on the side of having too much going on than too little. The gothic vibe here works (a...

Re: The Resurrection of…

Didn't imply that. Just find it funny that a character who purposefully went out of his way to reject the possibility of resurrection can't even stay dead for long (whereas Jean, who is literally code-named after a resurrecting god, had to wait a decade and a half). If he does come back, I fully dem...

Re: Guardians of the Galaxy volume 3

So I got around to rewatching this on Disney+ and I liked it even more than when I saw it in theatres. Not sure why, but a lot more of the humor landed for me, and just everything about it worked... the pacing, the action, the dialogue, and of course the kickin' soundtrack. Other than maybe No Way H...

The Batman movies, I feel like they're kinda their own things and hard to compare, but they are roughly Tie...

Not just that but his power makes no sense— Colossus was freed from his control when he went to the future, but if The Chronicler actively just stops writing for him, he could die? Make it make sense. Chronicler's power only works because they are all comic book characters, but he doesn't realize t...

I should probably read this again because I don't remember anything actually being seized.

Re: X-Men #26

Did Orchis really seize anything? They invaded Krakoa and took it over. It's been a smear campaign against mutants ever since. No one really knows Kingpin's involvement with Krakoa. I wasn't under the impression Orchis had that kind of power. They can brand mutants as enemies, sure, but seizing ass...

Re: X-Men #26

How would they seize Kingpin’s assets if he’s not a mutant? It looks like the only people on the actual list of “please arrest them” are the Quiet Council. Regular mutants are being “deported”. Kingpin is neither of those things (plus, he’s a former member of the Power Elite) and it’s been some amo...

It's entirely possible that she somehow magicked them onto Amenth... but not necessarily. I'm not even convinced this i...
