Jimmy was also created to be a wolverine stand in, while Rachel just eventually became a Jean stand in.

I like how Claremont says its time for the consentual Jean and Logan romance.

One day I will figure out what people see in that pairing.

Isn't grand design just attempt 100 to streamline the X-men's past.

I don't need to read more if that.

Is it even in continuity? It feels like just an artist showcase project.

Are most streamline attempts actually canon.

I mean, "post-credits scenes" kinda just sounds like a silly way to say "backup story."

Back up stories are generally stand alone. While a post credit is usually basically a teaser.

They are completely different things.

Intelligent lesser lifeform = Whoa what's going on this doesn't make any sense

Laser eyes and teleporting through hell = Okay this is plausible

I don’t understand why you are restating his point.

It will be fine.

Especially if it’s a one shot meaning he has to not go full Claremont

I always thought that was the dumbest excuse to make her posh.
Why not just have her mimics a rich person from a 1980s comedy.

I have no problem with Iceman being gay but the way it was written with all removal of agency on his part and Bendis seemingly putting it at the end of his run so he didn't actually have to deal with the repercussions of it was lazy as hell.

That said Rictor is my waifu

It also didn’t help that Bendis went through effort to make sure you knew he wasn’t bi. Almost like it was just lovely pandering instead of trying to explore a gay X-man.

Luckily they did give Iceman a book to explore it more.

To be honest one of Claremont’s faults was that Storm was probably his favorite character and it really really shows at times.

I don't want Scott back, because suddenly Jean will become Scott's Girlfriend again because people can't loving let that go and let her be her own character.

I mean being his girlfriend doesn’t mean that’s all she would be. It depends on the writer.

Everyone wanted the o5 to go away (not me) and now that they're gone people are unhappy about it (you should be they were great)

I think it’s less unhappy they are gone and more the fact they decided to reset everything. It was unnecessary just like the kids themselves

I guess if you ignore that the deal isn't done and X-Men has been continually published, then sure it's true.

But yeah the Avengers movies feature Ghost Rider and She-Hulk and Broo so I can see the influence.

I would ignore that as it isn’t terribly relevant

Remember when they started taking mutant characters and retconning them out of being mutants. Must be a coincidence

Squirrel Girl, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver was it,. but really, did they have anything to do with them being mutants? SG was more of a joke character and the Maximoffs were always Avengers adjecent outside of their first appearances and some one offs.

Quicksilver is more known for his stint in X-factor than anything.

Though their in universe roles don’t really matter to my point which was to try and get characters they could out of the way.

I’m surprised people are so defensive about an obvious thing.
