Should the Queen of England knight CC?

[darknessatnoon]

Sir Chris Claremont does have quite a ring to it, does it not?

For service to the British Empire, do you think Chris Claremont deserves to be knighted? He invented British mythology whole cloth. We would have no Otherworld without CC.

He invented Captain Britain, for example.

He invented the British mutant, Psylocke:

He invented Merlyn:

Lord (?) Claremont doesn't confine himself solely to the British isles. He seeks characters from the entirety of the Empire.

Here are just two from the sub-continent.

If he spoke, Gateway would scoff at the thought of being African-American!

And wasn't Australia more of a dumping ground for unwanted prisoners? Granted, being Britain's social trash can isn't really much of an improvement over a slave colony, but still.

I've got to assume this is tongue in cheek, because it is more than slightly inaccurate.

How on earth were Captain Britain, Psylocke, Merlyn, Roma and Excalibur "existing myths?"

And even if you kind find precedents for these stories, it wouldn't matter. Like William Shakespeare, Claremont channeled the national psyche and forged them into these new archetypes. No British lad grows up these days ignorant of the name "Kelsey Leigh Kirkland."

Please. From a North American POV, Claremont's legacy was to show the world that male brits were consumed 24/7 by anger, fetishist thoughts and a longing to become a lesbian.

Therefore, the *only* consequential factor in this debate is whether or not the queen secretly wishes she were a lesbian.

Agreed. I studied under this woman (http://books.google.com/books?id=B6mt3bOLt_0C&dq=lesbian+panic&printsec=frontcover&source=bn&hl=en&ei=cS3mSaSuHZPWMJSKtIIJ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4) who proved this to be true beyond a shadow of a doubt.

You said that the debate should be about if The Queen was a secret lesbian. The Queen is a woman. I answered by telling you the obvious fact that all women are secret lesbians. Hope that clears up your confusion!

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

Wait, what? Reread my post. Again. I said his legacy was about showing the world that male brits are angry fetishits with dreams of lesbianhood.

Either you guys prove him right or wrong by embracing or rejecting his gospel. I don't especially care. STILL, I didn't say anything about brilliance.

No.. Because he would only be knighted. And to my knowledge the Queen cannot bestow the rank of Godling. Which CC is Obviously.

Given all the fetish-y goodness in his stories, I'd have to agree. Plus he gave the world Rachel Summers. (Yes, I like her and I'm not ashamed to admit it:biggrin: )

He also gave us Selene. You've got to love him for that

[Azure]

Ronnie Barker wasn't knighted either. The Queen has no taste. What a bitch.

[Sunbird]

You'd don't generally get a knighthood just for doing your job, you get knighted for public service (celebrities usually do lots of charity stuff to get a knighthood). Also CC hasn't lived in Britain for most of his life (as far as I am aware), he is listed as American in Wikipedia and his writing has not had the same level of impact in the UK as it has in the US. All in all he's be unlikely to get even an OBE or CBE, since non-Brits generally are not eligible for British honours.

It's hard to deny his influence on popular culture now that the X-men are well-known cultural figures that have been in big time movies and successful TV shows. A lot of what he did helped make the X-men what they are today and he deserves all the accolades possible.

That being said, I still think X-men Forever was quite a mis-step. But I don't hold that against him.:wink:
