"ya'll love the cunty old man until he stops being queerbait yaoi" THANK YOU!!!!

I am getting into x-men through x-men '97, and my first insight into the fandom is that it's... not a fun place to hang out. The ageism is wild and the Rogueneto hate is so unwelcoming.

I'm sorry you feel unwelcome :(. Every fandom has a not great side, honestly if shippers being kind of mean to Magneto is the worst of it, I'll take it. Just remember, you can engage with the fandom while avoiding shipping discourse. Also remember that rabid shippers are usually a vocal minority. Most of my X-friends are chill.

I would presume either

A) they’re waiting to find the body and have confirmation of death

B) they’re still sorting out the details for the funeral (he probably doesn’t have a plot preserved or a headstone made yet, or he has some super specific instructions, or whatever).

C) They did have the funeral but it happened off screen because Gambit’s funeral is like, way juicier. Way sadder.

A part of me finds it hilarious that Gambit gets a full funeral and eulogy, including photo, flowers, grieving friends, family and a feral lover, while Magneto, the leader of the X-Men, whose body was suspiciously never found, barely got mentioned by his team.

Nightcrawler : we are here to commemorate our friend, our hero, Gambit and... *looks down on paper* Magento

I love how this recap explains everything about Rachel except how she got the Phoenix Force.

(For those wondering how she actually gain control over the Phoenix force, she went to Jean Grey’s old house and had a trauma dump to the air and then willed herself into becoming the new Phoenix. I think. Nightcrawler wasn’t in that issue so I was only half paying attention.)

That’s one hell of a visual

Claremont writes so many words when given the chance, it’s inevitable some of them are going to slap hard.

I mean… no? That’s not what happened at all? Rogue broke down sobbing when Kurt mentioned Mags, she clearly didn’t just forget about him. It seems more like she was deliberately focusing only on Remy.

I wager it’s because, to her, it feels like grieving Magneto too is a betrayal. She clearly feels like Remy’s death is at least partially her fault, she’s in the bargaining stage of grief right now. Maybe if I’d told him I chose him, he wouldn’t have sacrificed himself. Maybe he did it because he felt like he had nothing to live for. And she also probably feels like since she turned down Magneto’s affections, she’s not entitled to mourn him.

Rogue forgetting about that crusty old man and seeking revenge for Remy only okay X-Men 97 you are forgiven for your sins

you know who’d really like those German boy memes? Nightcrawler. He’d think they were hilarious and would frequently troll people over them. Someone would see one the blüntensmoken one and show it to him and he’d be completely stone-faced as he said “ja that’s how we say it. Also the weed cave is a very big problem in many small villages in Bavaria and it’s really insensitive you’d make light of it like that” but internally he’s just like

It’s the same here. All I’m trying to do is look up shitposts about John Constantine and it’s nothing but “DP x DC” “DPDC,” whatever. On the one hand I feel bad shaming people for something they enjoy on the other hand I’m sick of my searches being a sea of blocked tags. At the very least I’d appreciate some tagging consistency so I don’t have to keep adding more shit to my blocked list.

The hellblazer tag on ao3 is hell itself actually

I am not Happy with how X-men '97 Handled Lifedeath

While they did remove the elements I most disliked from the original storyline (mainly the racist depiction of Africans), they failed to keep or properly represent any of the parts I did enjoy.

Storm and Forge's relationship is so flat. I understand that roughly 20 minutes is not nearly enough time to truly explore a deeply complex romance, but man is this not doing it for me. There's a distinct lack of chemistry here that makes their words of devotion ring so hollow, and a major lack of real conflict when the truth of Forge's past is revealed. Part of this is because the Adversary immediately attacks and leaves no time for he and Storm to actually break up. Part of this is because of Forge himself; he's stripped of the more complex aspects of his personality; the hubris, the need for control, the complex relationship with his Cheyenne heritage. And speaking of said heritage.

They literally did exactly what I was hoping they wouldn't do; make another Magical Native American story. I am pissed they moved Forge from his sick Ray Bradburry Hologram Penthouse/ (which would have been so much more visually interesting location with so many opportunities for cool animation moments) to the desert. Forge doesn't ride horses, Forge doesn't make his papa's chili, that's the point! The point is he's a sad broken man who cut himself off from his own people out of self-loathing, trauma and internalized racism! Forge. Doesn't. Cast spells*. Native American characters. Do not need to be spiritual. Forge is interesting because he isn't spiritual. It's the same old racist bunk. And speaking of racist bunk.

The Adversary literally doesn't exist in Cheyenne folklore. Marvel pulled it out of their ass. And that's bad enough in the 80s, but in the Year of Someone Else's Lord 2024 we should know better then to misrepresent marginalized cultures like that. The Cheyenne are not wiped out, they are here and they are doing their damndest to keep their heritage alive. I can't imagine how enraged I'd be as a Cheyenne watching this. It is so damaging and so disrespectful.

The reason this pisses me off is not because X-men '97 is bad, but because its good! I am so disappointed, because up until now the show has gone above in beyond in exploring themes of prejudice. I expected better. I know they can do better. Do better.

*Well, at one point Forge was a magic user, but that didn't end up so hot for him, and if you're not going to even acknowledge that part of his backstory why keep the magic at all?
