Not overly familiar with the character, but from what I’ve read of her, she is so damn chaotic lol.

Got this from Depop for $6.50 and I don’t I can be happier!!! But this is definitely the last thing I’m going to buy for myself, the X2 poster I got was a pretty big purchase for me

The knife is genuinely overrated

I wish there was a storyline where he is forced to really step up (other than Operation Zero, which is great).

Of all the original X-Men, he feels the most stagnant to me. He’s a goofy and fun guy who makes jokes a lot. Great. But what else? Where are his great moments? His great stories?

He desperately needs a prominent role with a compelling story.

A climactic energy wave involving Jean Grey proved harder to solve creatively. Chen initially resisted the rainbow-like chromatic aberration familiar from other screen depictions of superpowers. But with five weeks remaining, he reversed course, deciding the established visual vocabulary served the film better than something overly electronic. “I thought it was the weakest part of the film,” he admitted. “I wish we had come up with something better.”

Time, he argued, often determines the quality of VFX more than the artists’ abilities. “If you go to a movie and you see that there’s a visual effects shot that doesn’t look that good, it’s not because there are bad artists on it,” he said. “You can tell they just ran out of time.” Chen advised supervisors facing decision fatigue to review shots within their sequences rather than obsess over individual frames.

I miss these factions as new antagonists. Since Fall of X I’ve really only enjoyed the character Sarah Gaunt. These characters were built up and then shoehorned into quick miniseries. What characters would you like to see come back. Personally I’d like another X-men Green perhaps working with Hordeculture as I find their frustrations with eco-cide to be sympathetic.

Title. Ive seen it praised a lot, one kf my friends disliked it a lot. I haven't read it yet, im working my way to it slowly.

Thoughts?

For me the 80’s stuff was without a doubt her best character work. She was so interesting.

Her time in Japan with Yukio, where she learned to let loose and live fully. No holding back. New Mohawk hairstyle and punk outfits. Yessss!

The tragic LifeDeath story afterwards where she lost her powers after being accidentally shot by Forge. She became despondent and questioned her identity as someone no longer with powers.

Then when she beat Cyclops and was declared leader of the X-Men. Cyclops was sent packing and back to Madelyn. It was such a pivotal moment for Storm, a black woman in the 80’s. Claremont really loved her.

I won’t lie, I hate her current stuff. It feels to me like they are trying so hard to make her a “badass” that she now feels empty. I hope I can one day see the complex woman she once was in future books.

Would you guys say they’re still close today?
