Quesada hasn't worked comics-side in over a decade at this point. His job was "chief creative officer" making sure the portrayal of Marvel characters stayed consistent in all media.

does this mean ash is coming back also how has Kurt Busiek never worked in the upper echelons of the big two? His head is screwed on way better than somma these clowns who end up in the big chair. Maybe he just wants to stay a writing man?

I've been working my way through Marvel comics using MU and CMRO. Just finished Infinity War and I quite enjoyed the core issues, some of the side issues were alright but a lot of them really, really felt tacked on. However, coming out of Infinity War and reading the Spirits of Venom story line that ties up some post Infinity War stuff for Spider-Man and this is how MU presents a couple of pages in Ghost Rider and Blaze: Spirits of Vengeance #5  For full image

I read Phoenix: Resurrection: The Return of Jean Grey. I know that there was a stretch of time where the teen versions of the X-men were brought forward to the present by Beast to prove some kind of point. So at first I was like "Cyclops is acting a little out of character here" but then I realized that oh yeah that's not the real Cyclops. I also new that Jubilee had been a vampire for a little while, so when poo poo bit a guy that made sense. So all that was fine. But also the real Cyclops was dead, apparently? And Wolverine was old, Sabertooth was part of the X-men, and Emma Frost was a bad guy again. I don't really have a point, just that all that was weird.

The Emma bit was the only truly loving stupid part and has rightly been completely ignored, like, the moment after it happened.

Wolverine was old because the real Wolverine was dead at the time and that one was from another reality(the Old Man Logan comic that the Logan movie was partially based on), Sabertooth had been "Inverted" from a recent event that had switched the alignments for a bunch of characters(most had returned to normal by the end of that event but he and a couple others stayed that way for a while afterwards), as for Emma and Scott I don't quite recall the specifics but I believe it had something to do with that poorly thought out period where Marvel was trying to push the Inhumans over Mutants due to Perlmutter being a whiny baby about Fox having the X-Men movie rights

drrockso20 posted:Wolverine was old because the real Wolverine was dead at the time and that one was from another reality(the Old Man Logan comic that the Logan movie was partially based on), Wait, there's a part in the comic where Teen Cyclops says he's going to go talk to Jean, and Wolverine stops him and says "this isn't your Jean. You never knew her, you never loved her" But she wasn't his Jean either? What the gently caress? She was significantly less old Wolverine's Jean than she was teen Cyclop's Jean! When I thought it was an old version of the real Wolverine I was like, I don't like this because the Wolverine/Jean pairing has always been bad to me, but at least he had a point that he had known Jean a lot longer than teen Cyclops. But he never even knew that Jean, and teen Cyclops did Goddamn, I hate the Wolverine/Jean pairing so much.

Wolverine/Jean does not work on its own at all but people kept trying to push it. Hickman was smart when he just kinda dumped any sort of love triangle or jealousy poo poo in creating Krakoa. So now you can have Benjamin Percy write Jean and Logan like they're the OTP while other writers can have Scott and Jean being a solid couple who have each other's backs, love each other, and also are great family unit with all the other Summers and Greys. And you can have Logan and Scott sort of flirt with each other and not be jealous of either one with Jean. And as a bonus you also have Scott and Emma still being kind of a thing, because that was a good pairing too.

Why isn’t his wife the love of his life? But instead he keeps pining over a woman he can’t have. It makes Wolverine look really bad. That’s why I don’t like the throuple idea either. The conclusion to that plot line should be Wolverine getting over it. Not after decades of gross mostly one-sided longing they just figure out how to make it work and it’s fine and good.

But despit that, the one time he died whil Jean was also dead, it was Jean who met him in the afterlife, not his dead wife.

Weren’t they practically estranged the whole time they were married because Logan killed her father, and Japanese crime politics or whatever?

I’ve never really been a fan of the Wolverine/Jean thing because he’s way older than her! Like even ignoring the 100+ year old thing, he was a fully grown adult when they met, and she was either just barely an “adult” or an actual teenager, depending on which continuity. That’s gross! It’s the same creepiness as a lot of vampire romance stories. I appreciate that pretty much 100% of the Jean/Wolverine romance is relegated to only Percy’s books though. Makes it seem more like Wolverine is having hallucinations or vivid fantasies.

I was always under the impression that by the time the All New All Different members showed up the starter X-Men were supposed to be somewhere around "university graduate" age, but that may just be how my young brain interpreted in on top of not all artists being great at being able to depict a clear spectrum of different ages Also part of the reason that it sticks around (other than just the general fetishization of redheads by the kind of nerds who read and write comics) is that Jean is written to treat Logan a bit like how Sue treats Namor: "No...Unless the other guy fucks up."

That's why most of the OG team quits, they're all full rear end grown adults who've been doing this since they were teenagers.

when they introduced Alex Summers around the fiftieth issue of X-Men or so, he's graduating college, and Scott is specifically his older brother, but Scott's age wasn't really set (older than Iceman, younger than Beast, something college-y but hadn't graduated yet). there's a letter asking about it a couple issues later where the answer given is like "Alex is, uh, really gifted and graduated early" because they super hadn't thought about it too much. the original X-Men were pretty close to Spider-Man's age and since he's doomed to be like 29 forever I guess it makes sense that Beast has been 30 since the early 90s.
