Kitty Pryde Appreciation

[Kaiolino]

I'm still missing Rebecca Romijn. She didn't have comics Mystique's charisma, but she was a loathsome bitch and kicked ass.

I've decided DoFP's plot will be Kitty's consciousness ending up in young Mystique and then they will share the ultimate intimacy. Expected 93% Tomatometer ranking.

Moira, Havok, Banshee, Cyclops, Jean and Storm haven't been announced yet.

Do we even know for sure any of those people are going to be in the film?

I'm so excited for Ellen to appear, that is probably some of the best casting they've done with a superhero film.
The only other character I'd like to see is R'chel and Cyclops..I'm surprised we haven't heard anything about her.

Imagine if they gave Rachel's role to Eva Bell. Urgh.

[pryde15]

If Eva Bell shows up before my new mutants babies I will be furious. She needs to put in the time.

Over Mark Millar's dead body. He literally put Rachel in almost all his 616 work.

[pryde15]

That's true she even appeared in Civil War..

And Marvel Knights Spider-Man.

If it was just casual fun, then Aaron wouldn't say it was only the beginning of the relationship.

I also like to hear your defense of Aaron's Kitty now. You used to praise him for promoting her to headmistress. But that's over now as well. And it wasn't even ended satisfactorily.

Well casual fun *can* always lead to more. And I'm not saying BobKat will work on that level, but Aaron sold me on casual fun at least. Which is a minor miracle.

As far as being demoted from Headmistress, that was pretty clearly a Bendis edict. Way to take a dump in the Kitty Litter. ;)

If Millar can work Ray into DOFP I will srsly blow him!

[pryde15]

I'm fine with her not being Headmistress, although I wish that came with the stipulation that she can't star in Aaron's book too..

lol how is it a Bendis edict? He's the one who finally put the headmistress thing to use by having her actually be in charge and mentor teens. Not to mention he's a total fanboy. And likes to humiliate Storm.

Both she and Kitty are essential. Without them, it's just a subtitle. The Animated Series adaptation was awful.

A headmistress runs the school, she doesn't babysit 5 entitled waspy teenagers fulltime. And it was obviously Bendis because she's being demoted for the purpose of his title, and the downgrade happened in his book.

Agreed and agreed. And I'd better get a lesbian kiss.

The downgrade didn't happen in his book. It just came out first. WatXM went into more specifics.

And "babysitting" is obviously a terrible excuse coming from above, considering Storm will be in five books soon, two of which she's leading. And Humphries said she's feeling like a misfit and an outcast at the school that is apparantly running. Finally, there's her history of ditching the school because she doesn't want to deal with kids (first during Fall of the Mutants, then during X-Treme). Making her headmistress is obviously the worst thing imaginable (especially when the headmaster doesn't have his shit together either and the vice-principal is genocidal), which is probably why Kitty chose her, because Aaron can only write her as someone who constantly makes terrible decisions.

It's an editorial edict. They need Storm everywhere to repair the character after the BP disaster (though making her the new Wolverine doesn't help).
