things i learned so far, while reading and re-reading the runaways comics for these daily posts:
any (comic canon based) fic that doesnāt have nico&gert friendship is fake, go sit in a corner and think about your life choices
vol. 3 really is a M E S S. the creative team changed for the last arc, and it shows, but it just made it messier in a different way. no wonder that most of it got retconned by later issues.
the last arc of vol. 2 that whedon wrote technically isnāt a mess, and fits into BKVās run much better, i just dislike literally every choice he makes in it. (how do you make time travel this joyless???? donāt even let me start on the specificsā¦)
controversial opinion time:
the parents Had A Point, even if their actions were Very Bad
comic Alex might be bad, but heās also symphatetic
āonly supervillains try to change the worldā is a bad line actually
gert is right to question spidermanās āwith great power comes great responsibilityā motto, but what she ends up saying about it doesnāt make much sense
apparently there was a popular headcanon during the OG run that nico was straight. i, personally, find that a reach, given whatās in the text, but there can be some wild interpretations out there i guess. (i get it, i too spend my time practically sniffing my platonic friendās clothes when theyāre away, and literally say out loud regularly how iām confused about my sexuality, as any undeniably straight person would.)
i respect all canon ships, except romantic chase/nico. they in fact have no rights and are entirely made of bad coping mechanisms (as opposed to nico/victor, who are only 75% bad coping mechanisms)
OG run chase gets so Edgy sometimes, dear lord, i for one welcome his Problematic Dad evolution form
itās high time to bring back xavin, at least for an arc to have a real resolution on their story (idk if thereās any mention about them in other marvel comics, i donāt read the other comics lmao)
how much royalties does karolina make from her parentsā movies and is it enough to refer everyone to a therapist?
the gibborim are punk ass bitches
