yk what sometimes I do just hate the canon love interest bc I can. especially if they're obviously shoehorned in there as a no-homo I have that right as a petty bitch. done trying to pretend I'm not the type of person that rolls my eyes at canon love interests I don't care about when there's a better option right there.

i don’t hate Moira because she “gets in the way” of cherik, of course not. thats silly

the real reason i hate her is because she’s a terribly written character and i need her to leave immediately. she may not mean it but she brings chaos into everyones lives and a lot of people are dead because of her

thanks a lot Moira for shooting the bullet that paralyzed Charles, awakening a false god, causing the death of Erik’s family, bringing Magneto out of hiding, being the reason Charles is bald, being the reason nearly all of Cairo is destroyed (with extremely high casualties), and for just kind of being you. i just don’t like you

the one good thing i do praise her for is bringing cherik together

but lets be honest, that would’ve happened regardless 👀

anyway thanks for coming to my Ted talk ☺️🙏

Immortal X-Men and X-Men Red are back, but no Marauders. If I wanted to be really, extra optimistic, I’d say give it one more month considering the solicits stopped a bit later than the other two, but considering this isn’t directly tied to Sins of Sinister, I doubt it. 

Also, Orlando is working on a Fall of X title at the moment. Hard to say if there will be any carryover of any of the Marauders team members

Ten ways they could’ve made dark phoenix less bad

Not make Hank behave so irrationally over the death of a woman he slept with thirty years ago who then betrayed him. Twice.

Kill Erik. Kill Erik. Kill Erik. Kill Erik. Kill Erik. Kill Erik. Kill Erik. Kill Erik. Kill Erik. Kill Erik. BRUTALLY kill Erik. And have him go unmourned.

Brought Moira back so Charles has at least one sane adult on his side. And upgrade her to actual love interest instead of just having it implied.

Not villainise Charles for sparing a child the pain of knowing that not only did she accidentally kill her mother but that her father doesn’t want her anymore.

Not have Raven be such a hypocritical dickhead to her older brother in the name of tv feminism

Not have Charles turfed out of his home and the school he created erased of his name and legacy. Or have his fate be playing chess with the bastard that paralysed him.

Actually show Jean surviving and reuniting with Scott. It what they both deserved.

Not villainise Jean for being ill. Raven deserved what she got.

Let mutants keep their good social standing with humans. The constant back and forth was excruciatingly depressing.

Not have Vuk manipulate Jean’s already increasingly fragile mind. It was far too cruel on top of everything else she was dealing with

There’s probably more but that’s all I can think of right now. Dark Phoenix wasn’t an awful movie. But if definitely could’ve been a helluva lot better. Charles, Jean, Scott and Hank deserved better. Erik and Raven deserved death.

nah but straight up it was moira's fault

365 Marvel Comics Paper Cut-Out SuperHeroes - One Hero, Every Day, All Year…

March 27th - Wolfsbane

Rahne Sinclair was born in the North Highlands of Ullapool, Scotland.  She was the product of a secret affair between the local minister and a prostitute.  Rahne's mother died in childbirth and her father raised her as though she were an orphan, not revealing to her nor the community that she was actually his biological daughter.  As a product of his feelings of guilt, Rahne’s father raised her under a staunch religious moral code and this would have a profound effect on Rahne and her outlook on the world.  

Rahne is a Mutant, possessing the X-Gene that can bestow special powers.  In Rahne's case, she gained the ability of lycanthropy, the ability to shape shift into either a wolf or a wolf/human hybrid.  In her werewolf form, Rahne possesses greatly enhanced strength, speed and endurance.  This Mutant ability manifested in Rahne’s middle adolescence and, at first, she experienced difficulty controlling her transformative powers.  This led to her being mistaken as a monster and chased by a mob of villagers led by her father.  Fortunately, Rahne was saved by Dr. Moira MacTaggert who brought the young woman to America where she was enrolled in Charles Xavier’s school for Gifted Youngsters.  

Taking on the alias of ‘Wolfsbane,’ Rahne went on to become one of Xavier’s New Mutants, training to potentially matriculate into the next generation of The Uncanny X-Men.  She initially struggled in adjusting to her new home but quickly became close friends with her fellow students, especially Daniel Monster (Mirage) and Sam Guthrie (Cannonball).  

Wolfsbane would go on to have numerous adventures as a member of The New Mutants.  A later mission resulted in her being trapped in her werewolf form unable to transform back into her original physical appearance.  Soon thereafter, Wolfsbane joined a new iteration of X-Factor and, with the aide of her friends, was finally able to regain the ability to return to her human-looking form.  During her time with X-Factor, Rahne became close friends with her teammates, Strong Guy and Madrox, and experienced difficulties with her unrequited crush on the team’s leader, Havok.  

Rahne eventually left X-Factor and relocated to Muir Island where she assisted Dr. MacTaggert in searching for a cure for the Mutant killing disease known as The Legacy Virus.  She later became an instructor at the Xavier School where she was involved in an elicit affair with her charismatic student, Elixir.  

Meanwhile, Rahne's father had become a devout follower and lieutenant in Reverend Stryker’s militant anti-Mutant faction known as The Purifiers.  This ultimately led to a bloody confrontation where Rahne was forced to kill her own father.  Convalescing from the traumatic ordeal,  Rahne encountered Hrimhari, the Wolf-Prince of Asgard.  The two fell in love and ended up having a child together.  Their half Mutant/half Asgardian son, whom she named Tier, possessed many of the same powers as his parents.  Rahne was wounded in action during her pregnancy and Hrimhari ended up bargaining away his own life to the death goddess, Hela, in exchange for saving Rahne a their unborn son.  

The infant Tier ended up in the care of Jack Russell, the hero known as Werewolf by Night, as Rahne continued to recover from the tremendous physical and emotional traumas she had endured.  A future version of Tier would end up embroiled in large scale battle with a group of extra dimensional beings known as The Hell Lords.  Tier ended up perishing in this battle, further compounding Rahne’s feelings of despair.  

A despondent Rahne rededicated herself to being an X-Men, becoming a part of Cyclops’ New Tian strike-strike team.  She was murdered not long thereafter by a group of bigots who attacked her upon learning that she was a Mutant.  

Rahne was later resurrected on the Isle of Krakoa and has continued working with her old friend, Dani Moonstar, in an effort to better cope with her pain and past hardships.

A version of Woodbine appeared in the Fox Film's movie, The New Mutants, portrayed by actress Maisie Williams.  The heroine first appeared in Marvel Graphic Novel #4 (1982).

*sarcastic and salty* hey props to Moira MacTaggert for being dumb enough to shoot at a guy who controls metal, really brilliantly done *even saltier slow clap*

[velvet4510]

At the end of First Class, Moira says she remembers the attack on HQ, which Charles was present for, then her memories stop right after that. Which means Charles only erased her memories of their time at the mansion and Cuba. One of the other agents even says “he can do that?” with Moira in full earshot, fully indicating that they ALL were aware of Charles, including her. But suddenly in Apocalypse, she has NO memory of Charles whatsoever? So not only was Moira shoehorned back into the story in a blatantly obvious attempt to make us think Cherik isn’t a thing (ha ha ha ha ha ha), she also wasn’t given any consistency in the process. The writers weren’t even trying, were they?

[wishchip106]

i genuinely think if moira didn’t interrupt them this scene would’ve built up to a kiss scene

GAHHSHRHEHHW

Author: g33kyclassic

Rated: Explicit

Pairings: Erik/Charles

Length: 116,872

Summary: Charles is completing his PhD at Oxford when he finds himself in dire need of a new job to support himself and Raven. Erik is a grumpy Mutant Student Counsellor who has yet to fill his student assistant position. Enter Prof. MacTaggert and her matchmaking ways to bring her student and her friend together (in platonic, professional compatibility, of course). Will things stay platonic for Charles and Erik? Only time will tell.

Rec notes: This is a novel of a fic at over 100k words but it’s worth the read. Charles is a struggle PhD student who ends up working for Erik as an assistant through the help of Moira. Together they work to take down an anti-mutant professor, and of course, fall in love.  

I like this fic because it delves into some of Charles (and Erik’s) discomfort around his telepathy, which in this verse, forced Charles to lie about his strength in order to even stay in England.

What’s Happening With Marvel’s X-Men?

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

This article contains spoilers for recent Marvel X-Men stories.

A long time ago, back at the beginning of the interminable, endless month of March that the pandemic has trapped us in, Marvel’s X-Men books were barrelling towards their first big post-Dawn of X crossover, X of Swords. And then the world stopped, and plans changed for the X-Men while everything was paused.

Now that we’re back, plans have changed, and books are coming fast and furious. So what’s going on with Marvel’s Merry Mutants? Which book did Storm get sick in? What book should you read for a good Laksa recipe? New Mutants, but we can answer all your other questions on what’s going on with the X-Men below. 

While we won’t rehash the entire thing, House of X/Powers of X reset the entire X-Men line. Mutants can’t die anymore (or rather, if they do, they’re resurrected from clone bodies and emergency backup minds by The Five and Professor X). The X-Men, and all mutants alive, are now living on Krakoa, a living, mutant island in the Pacific that, at some point in the distant past, broke in half, sending one part of it to a dangerous, monster-infested realm with Apocalypse’s first Horsemen standing guard making sure it didn’t return. 

Humans are back to hating and fearing mutants on a wide scale, but this time it’s mostly because the mutants are vehemently anti-capitalism, flooding markets with cheap, life-extending and health-improving drugs and vowing to take down the human world with economic weapons of their own making. This has the humans initiating some pretty intense Sentinel programs, particularly around the sun, where Nimrod – the adaptive Sentinel whose existence dooms mutantkind in one Powers of X future – was very nearly created. 

And amidst all of that, Moira MacTaggert, the secret mutant mastermind with the power of Groundhog Lifeing (when she dies, her consciousness is immediately transported back to her prenatal self to be born again with all her old memories. She’s on life ten now, btw), is frantically trying to manipulate events so that mutants continue to exist in the long run as the next phase in human evolution, averting a future where man-machine hybrids (like Omega Sentinels and the Children of the Vault) develop while humans and mutants are busy fighting among themselves. She’s also not allowing Charles and Magneto to revive any mutants with precognitive powers, expecting them to see her plan and ruin Krakoan civilization.

X-Men

X-Men, by mastermind Jonathan Hickman with art mostly from Leinil Yu, is where big ideas are being seeded for later use.

This is where the story of Krakoa and its estranged, otherdimensional partner Arakko was further developed (following its introduction in Powers of X and setting up X of Swords, the first mutant crossover of the Dawn of X era). X-Men introduced Hordeculture (think the Golden Girls if they were also ecoterrorist botanists); reintroduced the Children of the Vault; showed how depowered mutants get in line to get their powers back; and saw Magneto and Apocalypse threaten humankind with the most terrible weapon of all: finance capitalism.

New Mutants

It also, just prior to the break, X-Men had a spiritual crossover with New Mutants, initially a split book by Hickman and Rod Reis on the space issues, and Ed Brisson, Flaviano, and Marco Failla on the Earth issues. Brisson, Flaviano and Failla’s story follows a group of Earthbound mutant kids (including Glob Herman and Boom Boom) as they track down stragglers to Krakoa, like Beak and Angel.

Hickman and Reis took the original New Mutants plus Chamber and Mondo into space to go pick up Cannonball (who was living on Chandi’lar with his wife, Smasher). On the way there, they stole a King Egg from the Starjammers and brought it back to Earth, where it turns out, we discover in X-Men, the King Egg is a bioweapon created by the Kree to control the Brood for an eventual war with the Shi’ar. Broo, the supersmart mutant Broodling from Wolverine and the X-Men, eats the egg and becomes the Brood King.

Excalibur

Excalibur is the shining star of the line so far. Tini Howard and Marcus To are growing the mythos of mutant magic with a very odd team that includes Betsy Braddock (now back in her original body and the new Captain Britain); Rogue and Gambit; Jubilee and her mysteriously dragonified son Shogo; new earth mage Rictor; and Apocalypse, who is clearly up to some stuff. Apocalypse picks a fight with Otherworld and places a newly resurrected but still batshit Jamie Braddock on the throne of the magical realm.

Excalibur was one of the first books to return from hiatus, and it came back with maybe the best single issue of the entire relaunch in issue #10. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Marauders

Marauders launched as the story about the Hellfire Trading Company, the corporate arm of Krakoa that distributes the miracle drugs around the world while also smuggling mutants in trouble home to Krakoa. But Gerry Duggan and Matteo Lolli’s book quickly turned into the mystery of Kitty Pryde – why she’s not able to use the Krakoan gates that allow instantaneous travel around the galaxy, and whether she can be resurrected by The Five. That story has just about come to a head, but it is worth noting that it still contains a great deal of Hellfire Trading Company intrigue between Emma Frost and Sebastian Shaw, and a lot of drunken pirate antics. The resurrected original Pyro does get a tattoo of the Marauders skull on his face at one point. It’s fun.

X-Force

X-Force, by Ben Percy and Joshua Cassara, immediately killed Professor X. He was resurrected, of course, but it served as both a notice that everyone is fair game, and alongside Marauders, keeps some slight mystery to character death alive post-The Five’s perpetual resurrection machine. It’s also the story of the Krakoan CIA, so it sets up the global threats facing the mutant nation, and then sends Wolverine to get cut in half fighting them. Also, Forge creates a bio-mech loader suit and smashes the two halves of Logan back together at one point. If that’s something you find yourself chuckling at, this book is going to exceed expectations.

Fallen Angels

Fallen Angels focused mostly on resetting the current Psylocke’s status quo. Kwannon was brought back to life and placed in her old body shortly before the reboot (very quickly: Spiral switched Psylocke and Kwannon’s bodies, then before they could be reverted, Kwannon got the Legacy Virus and died, then when Betsy used a villain’s powers to recreate her old body and reinhabit it, Kwannon…uh…got better…). Here, she teamed with X-23 and Cable, with ops backup from Mister Sinister, to track down Apoth, a technological being selling cybernetic drugs to humans.

It’s mostly setup for Psylocke, X-23 (now Wolverine again, I think), and Sinister while adding another technological foe to the mix. It leads almost directly into Zeb Wells and Steven Segovia’s Hellions, a book about Sinister’s team of mutants who are all gleefully, unrepentantly screwed up and are currently on a mission cleaning up some old clones Sinister left lying around.

Cable, Wolverine, and More…

Cable, Wolverine and the Giant Size issues, are still mostly seeding future storylines. Cable, from Duggan and Phil Noto, has only had a couple of issues so far, but it’s brought the Galadorians (the Spaceknights minus ROM, who belongs to IDW now, I think) into mutant orbit and given Nathan a sword for the crossover.

Wolverine, by Percy, Adam Kubert and Victor Bogdanove, has Logan tracking down illicit Krakoan flower dealers, and also Omega Red works for Dracula now. And the Giant Size issues are mysteries piled on mysteries piled on incredible art. Hickman has scripted all three, and so far, Storm caught a technovirus from the Children of the Vault in the Jean Grey/Emma Frost issue (drawn by Russell Dauterman); we find out what’s up with Cypher’s techno-organic arm in the Nightcrawler issue (from Alan Davis); Magneto buys Emma an island from Namor with art from Ramon Perez; and we get actual backstory and incredible Rod Reis art in the Fantomex issue. 

Empyre

The recently wrapped Empyre: X-Men’s opening scene is simultaneously one of the most important to the metanarrative of mutant struggle that’s been developing since the Professor’s “No More” scene in House of X #4 AND the best setup/punchline in any Dawn of X comic. It also starts to deliver on some of the rumored-but-never-announced X-Men ideas that were floated early after the reboot – Angel and M are two of the leads, playing out a little of the boardroom drama we hoped for after an X-Corporation book was rumored.

X-Factor

X-Factor, from Leah Williams and David Baldeon, more or less just launched. It’s about the team investigating and verifying mutant deaths, to put those lives into the queue for resurrection. This feels like the book set up to deliver on the weirdest promises of the relaunch, and the creative team are inventive, fun storytellers, so keep an eye on this. Williams has a very sharp ear for patter and knows her characters well – while it’s not an X-book, Amazing Mary Jane is a stunning accomplishment of delightful character work. Early X-Factor is more of the same, with more mutant high concept.

And all this is leading to X of Swords, the new X-writers room’s attempt to outdo X-Cutioner’s Song: a 22-part Tini Howard-led crossover where everyone swordfights over half of Krakoa. And still dangling in the ether, unannounced but long discussed, are Vita Ayala and Bernard Chang’s Children of the Atom, following a group of mutant teenagers who idolize the X-Men, and a Moira X book that’s expected to fill in some of the gaps in Moira’s many, many timelines.
