BetterToRuleInHell posted:I'm reading this more like Spidey is stepping up like "What? You want some of this?" instead of a friendly game of hoops. Then he loses, calms down and just shares in the joy of doing things together for fun. That's all just me having thoughts about his character though, I'm no writer and could be extremely wrong s about anything and everything. Rohan Kishibe posted:On the other hand, the New Mutants are my favourite comic team and don't get to show up enough, so I think any time Ilyanna isn't on panel the other characters should all be asking "Where's Magik?"

Toshimo posted:At one point Magik wagered the souls of everyone on Earth to pit the X-Men against the Elder Gods of Limbo for a personal vendetta. Cyclops found out and called her on her bullshit, but she was like "you're always a dickhead, and I'm way stronger, so like, yeah, I feel bad for manipulating my friends and doing Big Evil, but worth" and then she just walked away with no repercussions. This just reads to me like Constantine the Teenage Witch, except without the consequences to their smug, dangerous actions.

I can't be the only one who's spent an inordinate amount of time wondering what his poop is like, can I? Like I imagine his guts have to be some kind of meat singularity, so are we talking a Nibbler situation? Also Magik owns and those head things are obviously radiators, GOSH.

Open Marriage Night posted:I didn’t “get” Magik until the recent Krakoa stuff, but I’m glad I finally came around, because she rules hard. Her initial mini series by Claremont was a pretty good young adult story too. I'm reading through Dawn of X on Marvel Unlimited right now, and last night I got to the bit in New Mutants where she asks the three Shi'ar Death Commandos if any of them want to make out with her instead of fight. Magik is a good character.

Cleretic posted:Magik strikes me as the sort of character who's very good for stories that she doesn't always get. Krakoa suits her a lot more than standard X-Men stuff. I think she's part of the new lineup of Savage Avengers so you might get your wish.

There was a recent reddit AMA with Chris Claremont that someone linked and it was interesting to read his perspective on Magik-- that she was all-the-way, no-coming-back evil but the appeal in writing her was that she was trying not to be and failing. Kind of a counterpoint I think to his Magneto. I think Gillen's Magik was modeled off of that, except I don't think his Magik cared about changing anymore. There's a scene towards the end of his run between her and Piotr that's devastating. Anyway I like the jokey new version of Magik but I kind of miss some of the pathos.

One of the few X-men comics I had as a kid was the one where they (and Ilyana) get kidnapped into Belasco's world. At the time I read it, it felt like a weird, spooky one-off, even the part at the end where her bloodstone amulet gets shown. It was kind of pleasing to learn that that actually came to define her character.Lobok posted:Wait, all his planet's people were like him? If they stopped making food did they eat themselves out of house and home, literally? And how do you evolve an ability when you can't eat without getting poisoned? Really, really quickly, I guess.
