Saoshyant posted:More like it was one of those metaphoric drug-induced Grant Morrison high concepts. She is supposed to be a Mummudrai, a parasite that everyone has to face in the womb and win as not to be replaced by a fake self. In this case, Cassandra Nova survived being defeated by Xavier but not without her copying his latent mutant abilities. It is revealed that after leaving the body of Xavier's mother, she spent years growing up in a sewer wall or something like that. Then she was reformed by Xavier and Jean becoming that little old girl called Ernst. And then Joss Whedon completely ignored most of this and everyone forgot how she works other than she was a big deal. God I liked it better when she was psychic Jonas Venture Jr. Every post about her just gets more and more stupid sounding.

A lot of Morrison's stuff sounds really ridiculous in a synopsis though. I mean it's ridiculous when he writes it too, but it works better in context.

Between this and the summary of Qwewq I am realizing there were a lot of things I just went "huh, alright" with and kept enjoying his stories without questioning. These summaries are digging up those suppressed feelings of confusion and just rolling with it. That said, you could probably summarize Flex Mentallo or Sea Guy and I'd still think it's awesome. It just sounds crazy(ier) when it's happening to Charles Xavier or Superman.

The main thing for me about New X-Men was the fact that being a mutant now carried about a 50/50 of chance of turning you into a true genetic freak, like that guy with three faces or Beak, instead of just being a golden ticket that basically made you a super model with godlike powers.

Well, the Morlocks had been around for ages at that point, but they were conveniently self-segregating.

The rest of that movie (Kevin Bacon the cool villain, Jennifer Lawrence's dramatic tears, butterfly stripper, etc.) is straight trash.
