I'll say it one more time - my comment was a response to Alonso's take on Logan's character arc. Not to Logan's character arc in relationship to Scott's character arc. Then I will bow out of this...

Because the comment of mine you replied to had nothing whatsoever to do with Cyclops? It is possible to see those two characters as completely individual entities, rather than always in relationship...

Oh, right, I forgot. Manpain is admirable.

Also, it really is possible to refute a negative comment about Logan without resorting to "Well, Cyclops is worse!"

Logan owns up to his mistakes? Pardon me, I'll be in the corner laughing my ass off...

... by de-warping the reality that Wanda warped with her magic? Magic and reality-warping are both inherently illogical. You're trying to make this make sense, when by the nature of what happened...

Or Wanda did remove the X-gene entirely, and the Phoenix, for whatever reason, only reactivated it in mutants who hadn't yet manifested.

The manifestation of the Lights was in direct response to Hope's manifestation of the Phoenix force in Second Coming, yeah.

As for the rest of it... I have to say, I think you're overthinking. It...

That's... not actually the case? Her curse actually turned off the X-gene. There's a reason that Hope's appearance and then the emergence of the Lights was such a big deal. Potential mutants weren't...

How do you define the "general public"?

Also, representation doesn't have to diminish racism to be important. Representation, in this case, means you get to see someone you can identify with in a...

You're conflating cultural diversity and racial diversity. My bad for not specifying I was talking about the latter, I suppose, but they aren't actually the same thing.



Not interchangeable,...

If you recast a black character as white, you reduce the diversity of the cast. Vice-versa, you increase it. Representation is not a negligible thing: astronaut Dr. Mae Jemison was inspired to her...

You misunderstood me, but to be fair, I suppose I was being kind of oblique. I am fully and enthusiastically in favor of as many minority characters as Bendis opts to create - I was responding to...

So now I'm just ragingly curious. Exactly what statistics re: the apparently completely equal distribution of mutations across racial/ethnic lines are you using as the basis for your comments?

I'm confused (and offended, but let's stick with the confusion for now). Exactly why should the international superhero team reflect the racial makeup of America, again?

Yes. I have read The Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix; thank you for summarizing plot details for me. I'm sure that Rachel, in her coma, could have looked after Nathan's physical and emotional needs...

Jean as Redd did a good job with Nathan in the future, in her defense...

Egg. All over my face. I should know better at this point. :redface:

Remydat, I am a female comics fan who has been participating actively in fandom since the 90s. If I got "upset" over sexist nonsense like this, I'd have had a stroke before the turn of the...

Triple-Layer Cake of Sexism. With cherries. When the situation is (arguably) debateable, why would you choose to take an interpretation that turns a strong female character into a victim, let alone...

Even if she was "confused", that doesn't mean she was incapable of making her own decisions. To say otherwise is infantilizing an adult woman, and to suggest that her ex-boyfriend should have stepped...

My bet is Blaquesmith.

... Hope's got Daddy's psimitar. I need a moment. Dennis Hopeless, if you're reading this, I love you.

I stuck with Cable's original series through Jose Ladronn back in the late 90s. If the story's as good as we're all hoping it will be, the art's secondary (in my opinion, at least).

I really was expecting her to come up with some version of "You remind me of your father. That's not a compliment." at some point...

Thanks for the kind words on the review. We may not agree on CXF, but I definitely agree with you on Arena - I went on a buying binge last month and got caught up. It was well-worth it; Hopeless is...
