FactsAreUseless posted:Never having read the comics, I liked Jubilee a lot. Why do you dislike her? Jubilee was basically the replacement for Kitty Pryde (almost literally, given that there's a decently direct line from Pryde Of The X-Men - a pretty bad pilot/special that is where the X-Men arcade game gets it's roster and designs- to the Fox show) because the latter fell victim to the thing that only ever happens to popular sidekicks in comics. They get to grow up even as their mentors stay the same age. See also Dick Grayson, Wally West, Donna Troy and Bucky Barnes. So by the time the show was airing, Kitty wasn't Wolverine's kid sidekick anymore, by Jubilee was the kid X-Man so they slotted her almost wholesale into the same role/stories. Unfortunately Jubilee's west coast mall baby shtick has aged pretty badly and it was kind of grating even then. Plus she fell into the Mati from Captain Planet trap of having a power that sounds lame even though it's actually pretty rad if you take more than 5 seconds to think about it.
