okay minor rant but it seriously grinds my gears the way that dani was written off/out of the original new mutants run. like i don’t think I’d be this pissed about it if anyone bothered to actually write about what she was doing in asgard instead shunting her to the side in favour of the x-force characters and then bringing her back to Earth as a double-agent working for the MLF, saying that she “fell from asgard” but also refusing to explain how????

also, dani goes and suddenly is working for SHIELD but literally no one explains how the hell that happened??

like wtf marvel get your shit together and write her a solo instead of giving wolverine or scott their 636833728 comic run. please

#like out of all the characters from the OG NM cast i feel like rahne and dani were probably the most underutilized #dani especially suffers not from a lack of characterization but a lack of utilization #like she’s an awesome character whose repeatedly almost seemed set up to take over for scott as a leader but then the writers just???#chicken out???#(tbh i think marvel corporate racism/sexism strikes again bc it feels like she’s always so close to fulfilling her potential but then #just doesn’t #for ‘reasons’)#like i wish writers actually would take her seriously and give her a run in her own right #bc seriously she is one of the best NM members and one who always gets overshadowed by sam or berto or even doug #yes i think dani shouldve been apolcalypses heir instead of doug #leave my boy aloneeee he’s been thru sm bullshit #dani moonstar #danielle moonstar #mirage #new mutants #new mutants comic #x men #x men comics #x men meta
