i hate to be negetive about comics, but i honestly dont really like this one... okay to be completely honest i just dont like gail simone's writing. shes funny, yea, but please take a look at the closer details.
one of my biggest issues with this comic is that its been established since excalibur that rogue and gambit do not want to have children due to the fear of becoming like their parents. in simone's uncanny x-men, rogue and gambit appear to be welcoming the idea of adopting children and having children of their own. yes, character progression exists, but in this comic, there isnt any. they dont talk about their fear, they just say "idk....Ok lets do it"?? the way simone writes their relationship is just weird to me. yes it is important to establish their progression with the ability to touch, but this isnt how you do it im sorry. shes somehow romantizicing their relationship.
it all feels like a fanfic written by a 13 yr old girl going through puberty. the fact that she inserted a skinnywashed version of herself into the comic as nightcrawlers partner doesnt help and says a lot. i hate when authors self insert like that im ngl. and it sucks cause i was so so excited for this comic and for the outliers. at least eve l. ewing is doing them some justice...
Short thoughts
- Has anyone considered the fact that Sue may be, just may, be smarter than Reed? I can't confirm it myself but Sue is incredibly intelligent herself. She probably isn't, but it's been on my mind.
- DO NOT read Nyx #3 yo
- Comic Loki is so underrated... All anyone ever talks about is MCU Loki, even when I search high and low for comic Loki lovers... Either its MCU Loki love or comic Loki hate. It makes me sort of resentful of MCU Loki. I'm sure Tom Hiddleston is an amazing Loki though.
- Why are all of my favorite characters the ones that are the most overlooked and hated? Emma, Loki...
