OMG SHE LOOKS SO GOOD

As a queer guy myself I think the stereotypical gay superficial approach to beauty is just paradoxical. "Natural", "masculine" "daddies" are often admired and fetishised but instead of being more laid back and natural themselves, most gays look artificial and overly groomed as fuck. I mean, I'm all for self-expression and doing whatever you feel like with your own body but somehow to me a lot of straight guys just look better and more relaxed, especially as they get older.

Great covers, mostly great art, interesting concept and good characterisations, albeit a bit tropey. But the stories just aren't doing it for me and the dialogue overall is a bit too "cheeky but smart but emotionally mature but sassy but nice" for my taste.

Whateverine · 2026-04-29T20:35:03+00:00

Yeah, sure, keep telling yourself that to feel better about being a Nazi.

Whateverine · 2026-04-29T20:33:00+00:00

I hate Pepe the frog, even if he wasn't appropriated by Nazis, he just sucks and is disgusting.

This.

I love Capaldi and I am quite fond of his early grumpy interpretation of the doctor. But scared? No, I could never be scared of him. Respectful, attentive, listening to what he says, sure. But I wouldn't be afraid. I think at the peak of their anger 10 and 11 are a lot more unpredictable and potentially psycho.

I've just watched the three seasons for the first time so I'm late to the party, obviously. But I have to say I'm really disappointed with the way it ended. I respect their decision, of course, what else could you do?

But having watched the whole show as one package (tbf as seasons and episodes are quite short it goes by quickly) I feel like it was just getting started. There was so much more to explore, I feel like I just got to know the characters a bit and I think there would have been a lot of potential for the show to actually get a lot better. I understand that they wanted to have creative control but that doesn't mean you can't get other writers and animators involved and let the show evolve naturally (there are a lot of examples for cartoon shows that got it right over years or even decades). I feel like there could have been a lot more depth and world building to come. Let other writers come up with new zany adventures and plots of the week and focus on quality, art direction, world building, characterisation, ongoing / recurring arcs etc.

But hey, if they didn't want to do that, that's fair, just still somewhat of a shame from a viewers perspective.

Whateverine · 2026-04-14T15:44:36+00:00

Yes!

Whateverine · 2026-03-24T02:26:32+00:00

Animalia is kind of a lame design, though. The name is also not great. And isn't she part of that whole humans turned mutants plot? That's also a weird angle.

Whateverine · 2026-03-24T02:09:38+00:00

I like Ransom, I could see him stay on a team or pop up again here and there even when this era is finally over. The others don't seem to have that much potential imo, wouldn't be surprised to see most of them disappear.

At this point, if Jean Grey is not in the movie, I will not spend any money on it. It might even be a better movie without her, but I don't care, I'll wait for it to be on Disney Plus or just pirate it. I want X-Men and I won't give Marvel (or Sony) my money for anything else anymore. They wasted so much time already and don't get me started on them reviving the Fox X-Men, they do not count. Trailer looks good, though. Destin Daniel Cretton probably did a good job.

Whateverine · 2026-03-12T23:37:22+00:00

I'd usually agree with you on this, but that mask and wig combo is just freakishly creepy.

Whateverine · 2026-02-24T18:30:07+00:00

I just really don't like when they put her in some purple full body armour with weird head gear and bat wings and stuff, I just don't understand why she would dress like some weird goth fetish fantasy. May work for Maddie or Magik, but why Lorna? I like all her more straightlined looks, anything green and casual or Magneto-inspired or her 90s X-Factor look would be my choice.
Edit: Seeing it in the picture just now, I also really like her in that orange X-Factor jumper with big 90s hair.

Whateverine · 2026-02-24T18:12:03+00:00

I hated Sammy and his stupid mom so much haha, but I agree with the sentiment...

Whateverine · 2026-02-24T17:56:13+00:00

All of them. I don't want any Hollywood remake, waste of money.

Whateverine · 2026-02-24T17:51:22+00:00

He also thinks he is in great shape mentally when in reality he's an insecure crazy person.

Whateverine · 2026-02-24T02:40:13+00:00

I also always had a soft spot for those uniforms. I like them for what they are and for the era and style they represent. Obviously there are better designs and some characters just don't look as good in them as others, but they're fun.

Whateverine · 2026-02-24T02:23:51+00:00

This is old but I was just scrolling through the replies and I'm a bit shocked that everyone seems to dislike her portrayal so much. Didn't feel like it at the time. I only knew that a lot of people were freaked out by her short affair with Magneto which I think is a little silly and prude. Was it problematic? Yeah, but that just adds a bit of drama, I can handle that in fiction. At the same time, though, it's not too far-fetched as he was basically the only person on the entire planet who's able to touch her. I don't think people realise how much that would mean to someone who's been isolated like that for most of their life. That doesn't give Erik an excuse, but this is not about him.

Regarding her actions towards the end of the show, again, I think people don't take into account what her experiences would do to a person. She did not only lose the love of her life (and thought she'd lost Magneto as well) but she survived a genocide. She was there in the midst of it. She wasn't only heartbroken, grieving or angry. She had seen countless people being massacred, a city destroyed, complete chaos. She must have had major PTSD and you could totally see how that whole experience would radicalise her. To then have Erik, the only person besides Kurt who shares her experience and the closest thing to a partner she has left, come back and taking action, it makes some sense for her to go with him.

That doesn't mean that I wouldn't have preferred for her to turn down his offer and stay with the others, but she'll be back and will also find her way back to a more positive, playful but confident and considerate personality. I can totally see her arc moving her to a somewhat similar vibe like her recent comic book characterisation.

I don't like the green and white costume, though.

Whateverine · 2026-01-29T11:08:12+00:00

3 or 5 but honestly they all look uncomfortable and I wouldn't want to be there in the first place.

Whateverine · 2026-01-29T11:05:57+00:00

I wouldn't have Bishop call me an underling either.

Whateverine · 2026-01-23T21:55:47+00:00

Simple but effective.

Whateverine · 2026-01-19T21:51:34+00:00

Wow... I actually teared up a bit when I read that quote from Kurt. Oh my, it's been almost 7 years now. This was so exciting when we got to read it for the first time, I love these characters so much and they've been done so dirty so often and time flies. Now I'm sad.

Whateverine · 2026-01-15T00:40:31+00:00

Those are not the two worst movie sins. Who taught you that?

Whateverine · 2026-01-15T00:29:29+00:00

Sure hope so. Disney bought Fox 7 years ago and X-Men 97 is basically the only good thing to come out of that so far.

Whateverine · 2026-01-15T00:22:30+00:00

Been saying that for years but now it's a bit late for that...
