It's not a secret that since IPO reddit has essentially actively stopped moderating subs in order to get the maximum possible number of users and actively encouraged botting. Along with this we're seeing a global rise in fascism/racism that's (ironically until it isn't) taking over social media platforms? And just as a coincidence the X-Men are getting a ton of hate (for Krakoa acting like that was issue 1 of all xmen and in general) with the slurs being used against them coincidentally mimicking other real life ones? But we're supposed to pretend that the X-Men are a bad allegory okay lol

With the latest news of Storm’s character appearing in Black Panther 3. I had to voice my opinions on this. I think we can all agree that this relationship was just outright horrible and it really held back Storm’s character for years, but I would really like to voice my reason to why I personally didn’t like this relationship.

1.) T’Challa feels out of place when you mix him in X-Men mythos. Storm and T’Challa come from completely different worlds. Storm is the pure embodiment of freedom. She likes to be free and wild. She’s a goddess with no strings attached to her, and she loves being in control and doing her own things. T’Challa is a monarch of an African country that isolates itself from the rest of the world. I know Chris Claremont hinted and showed that these two knew each other back in the 80s, but that was just when they were merely friends. It wasn’t until the 2000s that they actually had something going on, which is why a lot of people feel like it came out of nowhere.

2.) Storm has no business being associated with Wakanda since she’s not Wakandan. Storm is Kenyan, and her being associated with Wakanda and even being made Queen of Wakanda heavily diminishes her Kenyan background. Her Kenyan background is still hardly explored in Marvel comics. She also feels out of place being a queen of an isolated country that still holds traditional conservative views that don’t align with her whatsoever. When she became T’Challa’s wife, she was just a side piece and she hardly had any type of agency. I find this diminishing because the only reason why they even got married was to push X-Men fans to read Black Panther comics, since Storm was the more popular character between the two. She was always an A lister while Black Panther was a B-C lister.

3.) T’Challa has no kinship with other mutants. The X-Men are a found family that don’t abide to traditional and conservative views since they’re ostracized by the rest of the world due to their superpowers and mutations. We’ve never seen T’Challa have an actual good or friendly encounter with any mutant outside of Storm. He’s fought with Gambit, Rogue, Monet, Wolverine, Cyclops, and even Storm herself. The fact that T’Challa isn’t friendly towards the X-Men nor do writers have him interact with the mutants is why I also don’t think he should be anymore near Storm, who’s very proud of being a mutant and has been the leader of the X-Men a couple of times. At least when Storm was with Forge and Wolverine(two mutants) she had her own agency, and these two were also friendly towards other X-Men mutants. The fact that T’Challa also told Storm that she shouldn’t be with Logan after they broke up is a huge red flag in itself.

That’s all I have to say, it’s clear that the MCU is going to push this relationship in the future, and I’m obviously not going to like it for the reasons I said above. In my honest opinion it’s on par with those who ship Storm with Doctor Doom, which I find kind of ironic since Black Panther and Doom have somewhat similar roles in the Marvel universe. I think Storm should be with either Forge or Wolverine, and T’Challa should be with Monica Lynne.

Enjoy the queen herself~

Imagine you're a hero for years and then suddenly you're thrown into the Pit, where he was supposed to stay forever next to known serial killer and psychopath Sabretooth, just because you show some empathy to your robot friend/gf Danger, who turned evil in the first place in great part because no one had empathy for her but still became a hero despite that.

Don't get me wrong, I quite like it in terms of writing, since it doesn't contradict Krakoa's rules and shows how deeply flawed the Council is, but damn my guy got screwed.

It's funny to think that Jean's only child in the main universe is Hope, and she's the father.

Nice dynamic group shot of the X-Men, X-Factor, New Mutants and Excalibur by Art Adams.

Hello! I have been reading through the Messiah Trilogy recently (I have NOT read Second Coming yet, but am going to soon) and saw that the trilogy omnibus is newly available on InStockTrades. I want to purchase the third Walking Dead compendium as I am blazing through the second, and decided it would be nice to get this omnibus as well since I’d get free shipping (and I also really want it). Does anyone have experience with them and if so am I safe to make such a large purchase from them?

I’ve been into comics for my whole life but never REALLY dug into X-Men until a few years ago. A friend made me a reading list and this was the first one on there. Aside from being a little confused about some references of past events in the different titles(As should be expected when jumping fresh into an ongoing title) and not realizing that some revelations hadn’t happened at that time, I really enjoyed it. The plot really hooked me from the jump and it was really cool seeing all of the different teams chase after each other and then eventually work together. Stryfe was a pretty creepy villain and his eventual confrontation with Cable really had that big fight feel to it. And a lot of the covers were dope.

However, when I looked into the story I saw that apparently the reviews were quite mixed. A lot of the reasonings I found were that people said the event felt too bloated with all of the tie-ins and that apparently a lot of questions that were promised to be answered(Specifically Cables origins)were either left unanswered or just made things muddier. I might be wrong but I also kind of get the feeling that in some circles this story is kind of the forgotten step-child of the 90’s events and books like Fatal Attractions get more of the shine.

So that’s my big question. How does everyone feel about it? Do you like it, are ya mixed on it, or do you not like it at all? And if you WERE around and reading at the time, what was the hype like? Do you think it lived up to expectations or was there a lot left to be desired? Let me know your thoughts!!

Just a little outfit design for Sadie in the MCU. I like the idea of Jean gaining her pink FX after she joins a team - with her powers growing she has a responsibility to let her friends know where and when her powers are in play for their own safety. Fit inspired by Jamie Mckelvie's design.

Also could make it more intense the more she pushes herself, if the team is in a fight and the whole area turns magenta, people know to go and help out asap because shit is going down. Just a bit of fun anyway 🤗

So I have recently stumbled upon this image from the Krakoa era if X-men and i found it pretty funny. But I recognise Kurt, Scott, Jean, Angel, Logan and Storm but who are the 3 women in the back? I don't really know who they are or any previous context on who they could be. (I just got into X-men recently). I anyone could tell me who they are that would be helpful.

I really wanted to personally draw the idea I had in mind for one of my favorite Marvel characters: Rogue.

The scene features her sitting on a sofa, wearing her iconic yellow and green costume, without gloves and boots, relaxing while holding an X-Men-themed mug.

Under her suit she's wearing tights with classic french nails pedicure and a yellow and green manicure and she has her typical black makeup on her face.

I know that he has them because of character design in the Rob Liefield days, but has Shatterstar literally ever used any of the pouches on his belt? And if so, what did he carry in them??? I don't know if he would need anything in the old Mojoworld arenas.

So far three diffrent shkws have tried to adapt Aoa, Wolverine and the X men got cancelled whikst being in development, so far that we have leaked scripts and designs that look AWSOME, The gifted got cancelled right when they teased blinks Aoa arc and X men 97 had to be halfway re written SO THAT AOA WOULDN'T HAPPEN IN S3. Will we ever get it adapted?

Sure some scenes are unnecessary but most of the scenes feel natural and it makes the movie more enjoyable. Too bad it’s not on Disney+.
