Random Thoughts

I keep thinking about Season 3, Episode 2: “The Stuff of Heroes” of X-Men: Evolution, where Rogue saw her face on the news and is dismayed that she “looks fat.”

And, well…

I’m not sure if the writers forgot that her overall body shape looks like this…

Or this is the particular part they are referencing that makes her “fat.”

‘She has the biggest breasts of all the girls’ is what was written, btw.

In that same episode, before she made that comment, we already see some characters searching through the Brotherhood’s things and eyeing the size Fred/The Blob’s clothing, but apparently that wasn’t enough of a joke?

Anyway, maybe they had her say that to reinforce her low self-esteem, but c’mon. I love this show, yet while the amount of times they make fat jokes is not that much, it still seems to come out of nowhere with some of them 😅

Whelp, regardless of how truly bigger she is or not than the other female characters, Scott scooping her up onto his shoulder like she weighed almost nothing is always a treat to remember and see. 🥰🥰🥰

Could be wrong though.#if season five happened i would have been interested in seeing a fat character whose weight or perceived weight that wasn’t used as a joke #and since 1) multiverse and 2) they already took several creative liberties with the interpretation of several characters #they could take Xi’an Coy Manh and introduce her to the Evo-universe as a plus-sized character #but never bring up her weight #and yes I know in the comics there was an important reason supposedly for her weight gain buuuuuuuuut #we already have a plus sized villainous(????)/antagonist character in the form of Fred ‘The Blob’ Dukes #why not have xi’an coy manh/karma be plus sized without her weight tied associated with dubiously villainous origins?#and BOOM! we get a heroic female character with a diverse body type!#and she can have an athletic plus sized build if there are concerns with how a plus sized chara could work as an X-Man even though #even though she’s a tele/empath #and if she’s not a good enough option why not take another character like ashley crawford and reinterperet her as a mutant with her powers?#Big Bertha could work as a mutant! I think…Look multiverse/varients need to have SOME freedom to reinterperet characters right?! 😅#sorry #went off tangent a bit #but what do you guys think?
