#I think its because most people dont even know who Amanda Sefton is

I'm gonna preface this by saying I'm neither a hardcore Nightcrawler or Mystique fan but as a longtime X-Men reader my main question is : Why does Marvel keep going back to retcon/rewrite Kurt Wagner's origins (especially after 20 years too man, I mean come on) like there's something wrong with who the bio parents he never/barely spent time with are (and in many realities never even finds out about) yet they still keep his first canon love interest (and the girl he constantly goes back to when she barges back into his life again) his own (adoptive) sister??

Ain't gonna tell me they can't finally split up Jimaine Szardos from Amanda Sefton now after they did it for Betsy Braddock and Kwanon in 2019

Don't care about who this elf's parents are or should be, if Marvel still went back to have him date the sister he was raised with since birth in 2014 (less than 10 years ago tf) like it was the most normal shit these people got no standards or priorities cuz that was and will always be fucked up and weird especially when there's nobody acknowledging it in either the writers room or character cast

Excellent point anon. They focus so much on his parental origin even though he rarely interacts with Mystique and actually seems to interact with Azazel more as one of his own rogues.

But yeah apparently Mystique and Azazel being both his parents are the problem not you know Jimaine Szardos and Amanda Sefton being the same person. Yeah that's fine his foster sister being his love interest isn't a stupid storyline element at all that should be iron clad canon and never changed at all ever.
