Jedi posted:Maybe, maybe not. Very few group projects survive a split up of the hosts - even one as amicable as theirs. I sincerely hope they do continue because it's one of the few podcasts I actually listen to religiously. It looks like Miles will be doing a Thor podcast during the hiatus with Elisabeth Allie which I'm looking forward to. Despite not really being into Thor, the two of them have always had great chemistry together when she's filled in for Jay - so I'll probably enjoy it. If I had to wager a guess, post-hiatus I'd say we're getting Miles and Elisabeth X-Plain the X-Men. She has a great voice too, which has always been the best thing about Jay & Miles, both hosts had voices that didn't grate with that nasal nerd whine. I mainly listen to podcasts while going to sleep, so that's a big bonus in my book.

Yeah, I was talking about Elizabeth. EDIT: Don't worry about it, I don't get upset about being called out when I gently caress up, it's the only way to improve.

no, I get that. But the way he acted in Thor was pretty much perfect. He did the right thing, but he let everyone knew how beneath him it was and how dumb they were to even try it without him.

Mulva posted:I will never get the affection people have for that character, he was such a petty sociopathic gently caress up in his first few appearances I've just never been able to see the attraction. It helps that I don't like much of Morrison X-Men so I don't really remember it.

I know I've been listening to too much Jay and Miles but come on people. Same I really like the Colossus/Domino pairing, and seeing that dropped for a stale rehash is annoying.

Endless Mike posted:The X-Men Gold Annual was pretty fun, and it was great to see Excalibur back together, though I'm not sure Guggenheim really got their personalities. Brian, in particular, just kind of came off as a doofus. Still, it was better than I would have expected from Guggenheim. There was some weird contradictions, though, with Maggie. Meggan complains that she's already smarter than her, but then she has to ask what a baby and blue are. Yeah but, as someone else here posted in the recent past, I am *so* loving sick of hyperintelligent children.

So was Professor X ever actually in the astral plane? Was it Shadow King fighting himself or just a really elaborate charade to trick the x-men?

Wow, I was still onboard Uncanny until this past issue. Wolverine just straight up impales Hope and Cyclops loses an eye? Also, that weird scene where the final panel on one page has Forearm smashing Cyclops form behind screaming TRAITOR, and you turn the page to see the two teams facing off against each other in a fashion where there's no possible way the previous panel could have happened.

Fritzler posted:Ok. Second Rec I’ve gotten to not read this. Is Age of X-Man good? I thought that was supposed to be decent and was only reading the part that led to that. I can just jump to age of X-man if that’s good though. Yeah, just do that. AoXM was okay, but most of the tie ins were actually really fun.

Archyduchess posted:Except of course for all the comics where he's not like that. Being a fan of superhero comics is always an exercise in selective reading and I think you and I have selected very different readings. I like both sympathetic Doom and sympathetic Magneto, but for different reasons. Magneto makes sense. Mutants need a Magneto, someone who isn't afraid to use violence against their oppressors. Peaceful movements cannot succeed without the implicit threat of violence form more militant movements. Doom I like because his story is always a tragedy, always a victim of hubris. Doom could be one of the greatest heroes around, but his ego will ALWAYS get in the way. It seeing how far he goes down the path of good before falling that provides the entertainment to me. Having either of these characters be sympathetic or acting on the side of the angels also does NOT mean that they can't be antagonists. Doom won't concede to anyone elses plans or vision. Magneto is often time too willing to use violence as the first, last, and only solution. Even when these characters are pointed at the same beneficial goal as our heroes, even when they're acting for the greater good, they can be an onstacle and cause more problems than they solve. To me, that will always be more interesting than just cackling supervillian who wants to rule the world.

What I found interesting about that is that we never see X's head during that scene. There are a few times where he takes his hat off, but it's in shadow. Combine that with the full cerebro helmet he's wearing and I think there's something going on with X's head. Maybe he a black brain like the one we saw in the future?
