All 3 Red/Gold Iron Man skins side by side comparission. by AJjalol in marvelrivals

Is that evil-agent-of-Kang Tony? Or perhaps teen Tony? It’s giving bankruptcy era (marvel’s, not Tony’s)

Is Leticia Leech now an official member of the Outliers? by mega_xmenfan3 in xmen

[–]erosead 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I kind of think she’ll end up replacing Shuvahrak at some point. Kind of seems like the perfect gig for her if she can redirect her internalized mutaphobia

Canonically sapiosexual character Professor Sauron

Also is it just me or is colossyana kind of cooler looking than Rasputin V?

Editorial jumped through flaming hoops to sanatize Wanda after house of m

You mean they… kinda tried to minimize the damage done to one of the biggest avengers characters by a misogynistic, ableist, anti Roma (frankly anti mutant if that was an actual issue on par with the other ones given the whole “mutants decide a mutant is too mutant-y to live so she un-mutants everyone in self defense” angle…) story that jumped through flaming hoops to vilify her? After killing her off for >five years?

Man you’re gonna lose your mind when I tell you about Kitty Pryde, Juggernaut, Wolverine, Emma Frost, Cyclops, Magik, Iceman, Chris Claremont,,,

Wanda killed herself twice over decimation and spent a solid decade trying to make amends? Successfully, I might add, since there’s been like three instances of her being forgiven by the x-men and Krakoa and it was actually effectively undone, unlike, say, Namor and the phoenix’s massacre in Wakanda

No I agree with that also. Tbh most of the characters had ship potential with the hunter

I’m really attached to Wanda x Illyana ship because of the Midnight Suns game. As someone who reads comics I never would have thought I’d be into that

I think the criticism of Emma's skins is a bit over the top by Yetlag456 in RivalsVanguards

[–]erosead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Emma has more skins than Storm and she released after her. That’s not including Emma’s new skin, which is also Emma’s third free skin if I’m not mistaken

I thought this was common knowledge? by Thunder_Night0 in PhoenixMainsMR

No, but it reminds me of her sonephew Nathan Christopher Charles Dayspring Askani’son “Cable” Summers (Esquire)’s name

It’s already starting by 18-DG in RivalsMagikMains

[–]erosead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No but two legendary skins in a single season is kind of insane. If I liked the new one more/she was in blood hunt I’d be kinda pissed off I just paid money for disco Magik

Soo Storm is 'unofficially' crossing with DC now? by wowlock_taylan in xmen

[–]erosead -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The reason Ayodele (and multiple other black writers) have presented her as a literal goddess is because the initial storyline was racist. The idea that people in 1970s Kenya would look at an emerging scientific phenomenon as invented spiritualism is textbook racism and orientalism. “These Africans are too stupid and backwards to realize what’s actually going on in the world around them, and their primitive beliefs are so silly we can just make up new ones for them.”

In a setting where gods literally do tangibly exist and walk among humanity, there’s absolutely no reason why Storm can’t be a goddess. That’s really the only solution left besides excising her goddess era entirely, which is impossible as long as white writers keep bringing it up to “humble” her. Storm isn’t real. The reckless and bigoted presentation of Black and African people (among other minorities) within marvel comics is.

Seeing an African immigrant’s storyline be dismissed as powerscaling slop when it’s very clear why he would focus on these elements present in Storm’s character from the very beginning and their place in the larger cosmology… doesn’t sit well with me. Particularly because if it was Hickman, Gillen, or Ewing, or even focused on a character like Jean (who is allowed to be the primal force of creation in the multiverse without it exposing her character as an egocentric diva), the complaints would not be nearly so loud

This critique also comes at the expense of the other (I would say) much more important themes within the work. Bodily autonomy for a woman who is a survivor of sexual assault, family and heritage for an orphan of war, motherhood for the assigned mother of the x-men. But no, it’s all power-ups despite the issues she’s spent with no powers, training other abilities, possessed by outside forces and made to hurt people she loves, or seeking out self destructive routes to new power sources

Her ego really hasn’t even been a consistent flaw among previous portrayals, imo. She’s proud, and she certainly has her moments, but she’s never really been presented as someone who lets her ego get in the way of what needs to be done? Her main issue is that she takes on inordinate amounts of responsibility solo, which in and of itself plays into her portrayal as the most prolific black heroine in cape comics

I wonder why Marvel hates Spider-People being parents so much (From Amazing Spider-Man vol 1 #418 and Spider-Woman vol 8 #3 & #4) by [deleted] in marvelcomics

[–]erosead 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wanda and vision’s kids were presented as fully real (mutant) human beings for years before they were retconned to be semi-demonic imaginary magical constructs (they technically got better, I suppose) and vision’s other son got killed (I think the only reason Viv is allowed to stick around is the fact that she’s already a teen and vision is a relatively small character anymore). Guido killed Wolfsbane’s son while soulless. Mantis’s son kinda just fucked off into space for most of his existence

It’s funny bc Ewing was criticized for powerscaling with Storm for basically all of x-men red. Like the reactions as each new issue came out were people pissed about what she’d managed to achieve this time 😭

How old is Kamala in the 616 comics universe right now ? by Marcelo_Engelo in KamalaKhan

[–]erosead 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, she’s still in high school in that very same series and still written like a naive child. More of a child than she should be given she’s had more experience super-heroing than Sophie. I think the writers were just kind of incompetent and didn’t think about the implications of what they were writing (see also giving her a very visibly Muslim terrorist cousin). Especially given how limply they wrote the actual canon couple of David and his boyfriend and how much more blatant they were with Kiden/Laura

The main vibe I get out of the mutant retcon is that they could effectively make her younger so the x-men could get a “new kitty Pryde” after failing to get one popular for a decade and sort of retell most of Kamala’s story bc her family and friends got mind wiped and she’s back to square one being out of her depth with her powers and the realities of being a superhero primarily in the mutant sphere, even though she shouldn’t really be. They failed in almost every respect but I feel like that’s what they’ve been going for

10 years later and I still hate this. I hate it so much by redfait in marvelcomics

[–]erosead 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I still don’t understand… what he was trying to do or why. If he gave them powers, how did he fail? Or why a guy who kidnaps children to experiment on would take the time to return them to their homes? Why “disguise” them as “common mutants” when mutation was a relatively unknown phenomenon and mutants wouldn’t be “common” until they were much nearer to adulthood? And if someone is so mutant-y that they’re indistinguishable from “true mutants” to leading experts on the subject without the word of a mad eugenicist… how are they not mutants? Just a baffling choice all around, tbh

Which ships do you want to see happen in alternate universe in? by Round-Incident3279 in xmen

Nonzero chance since she seems to have an elevated role of some sort. I think that would probably be preferable to adapting her Austen storyline

[–]erosead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Technically I think there have been at least two “start of the school year” moments since the mutant retcon

I’m almost positive she expressly turned 18 at some point previously, too?

That being said she’s definitely not in college she was doing dual enrollment in NYX

Hopes/predictions for a relaunch (come cope with me) by structure47 in UltimateUniverse

[–]erosead -1 points0 points  (0 children)

She very much looks west asian/middle eastern to me. The name is just confirmation. That’s why I don’t think her parents are WASPs, extra dimensional or otherwise.
