AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHBHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Ariel. I just realized something. I don't think I've ever seen you share YOUR idea for your own X-Men series. The closest I've seen is your idea for an animated series on The New Mutants. Not sure if you have one, but if you do. What is it like? What will make it stand out from others?

I would like to give the X-Men a chance to explore their potential for the slice of life and comedy angles, with a touch of urban fantasy, light sci fi, romance and horror, and would call this encarnation The Magnificent X-Men, homaging the movies The Seven Samurai and The Magnificent Seven, in an animesque style reminiscent of Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro, Nimona, Elemental, Entergalactic, the Spider-Verse movies and My Adventures with Superman, and a tone and narrative progression and tone similar to the DC Webtoon's Batman: Wayne Family Adventures and Vixen: NYC.

The timescale and timeline would avoid convolutedness by having characters who, in the comics, were originally clones or alternate timeline children to be children born in the main series timeline born and raised by previous characters that while mentioned as important, are not the main characters of the narrative, exploring the idea that as a group, the X-Men have a history that goes back to the 60s, where there were founding figures, partisan dissidences, characters went to college, graduated, retired from the battlefield to get married and raise children, or died while fighting for mutant rights.

The school setting would be upgraded from high school to University where people come not only to learn control of their powers, but also study and get grades to learn a trade to live.

Students come from a variety of backgrounds: there are not only mutants, but humans, aliens and robots.

The team line-up would combine Claremont and Davis Excalibur with Jason Aaron' Amazing X-Men: Nightcrawler would be the field team leader, and his teamates would be Cerise, Piotr Rasputin (Colossus), Illyana Rasputin (Magik), Rachel Grey Summers (Phoenix), Kitty Pryde (Shadowcat), Hank McCoy (Beast) Ororo Munroe (Storm), Logan Howlett (Wolverine), Jean Paul Beaubier (Northstar), Angelica Jones (Firestar), Bobby Drake (Iceman), Brian Braddock (Captain Britain) and Meggan Pucceanu.

Jean Grey (the first Phoenix) and Scott Summers (Cyclops) are retired from superhero life and live in Canada, making grassroots activism work for the world wide progress of mutant rights, but come visit their former teamates and their daughter Rachel from time to time.

As the main settings, the X-Men and many mutants have relocated to South Africa and Australia, countries they constantly alternate between by crossing the Indian Ocean trough flight or sea, working both as University Teachers and Superheroes.

Embracing solarpunk, the protagonists would live simple functional lives in sync with the beauty of nature, in cozy enviroments with plants all over the place, presenting a commentary on how to grow a brighter future for everyone instead of submitting to gloom.

The architecture of their homes would be colorful, retro futuristic, standing side by side with ancient ruins, surrounded by nature without antagonizing it, but incorporating it as part of the city life, and airplanes and boats would be the main source of transport, rather than asfalted roads with fossil fueled cars and buses (think of Talespin's Cape Suzette).

The main historical mark of the universe is the Jaspers Warp, a conflict that was an important storyline from the Captain Britain comics, called A Crooked World, when the reality warping villain Mad Jim Jaspers crossed dimensions and converted England into a distopic society where anyone who was perceived as having superpowers was imprisoned in camps and civilians who tried to protect then were imprisoned and killed. In the comics, this was concentrated to England, but in the show, keeping relevant to recent events, it would involve both the whole UK and the United States that has a whole history of persecuting mutants and humans that dared to ally with mutants.

The older sibling of Brian Braddock, Jaime Braddock, was revealed to be a villain and mutant with similar reality warping powers, whose main flaw was egotism and selfshiness, so it would be fitting to combine Jaime Braddock and Mad Jim Jaspers into the leaders of the main antagonistic forces who the heroes had to defeat to work in building a better world.

And this would be the main setting and theme: reconstruction after surviving what was basically the end of an unfair world as we knew, and move on into something better, rather than go back to what was before.

Along with comedic supervillains that provide lighter conflict during the slice of life episodes, the main antagonists to bring stakes would be groups of people who are part of US political groups, the Purifiers and the Friends of Humanity, searching for a way to gain access to the remnants of world ending super weapons, like the infamous Fury created by Mad Jim Jaspers, and use them to rule the world.

They are the ones who never let go of the so called "glory days" when they had privileges and minorities "hadn't so many rights", and are so hung up on having a War to win that they’ll wreck the world all over again, which the X-Men have to fight so as not to stop progress and allow the people of Earth to move forward.

(Note: the article says "all 19 of the covers" but I'm not seeing the Spirits of Violence one, so I think there might be more than 19 -- I specifically checked for potential Akihiro, so maybe soon! It's still up for pre-order ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )

Fastest Growing Fandoms on AO3 This Week (05/13/2024)

Every week I pull data on how many fics are in each fandom and compare to the previous week, then calculate the percentage increase to determine fastest growing fandoms.  Since this naturally skews towards smaller fandoms, I have included the same data filtered to Over 1k, 5k, & 10k fics.

*this week’s data likely has some errors due to code changes - they should resolve themselves next week*

Overall:

Over 1,000 Fics:

Over 5,000 Fics:

Over 10,000 Fics:
