Something guys like me can never hope to do in a billion years. Some of his stuff like X-men Forever does reek of bad fanfiction, but he does have other great pieces of work to his credit like the Phoenix Saga. For that, he deserves more credit.Jack Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04929572842990203873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917870048446264335.post-1870359116753458292011-06-23T20:12:10.603-04:002011-06-23T20:12:10.603-04:00I think you mean "then write bad fanfiction l...I think you mean "then write bad fanfiction like Claremont"IceColdEmmaFrostnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917870048446264335.post-19182811872026894732011-06-23T07:24:46.073-04:002011-06-23T07:24:46.073-04:00I agree that there are some similarities with Jean...I agree that there are some similarities with Jean and Psylocke. The only difference is that Psylocke doesn't have a block of Marvel writers with an obscene hard-on for keeping her dead. Psylocke's death and return are part of her nature, but unlike Jean Grey she can return without fucking up Marvel's precious Cyclops/Emma dynamic. It's gotten to a point where they're trying to use every bit of Jean Grey imagery they can so they can shut people up who want her back. It's just plain insulting. You can't have your cake and eat it too. If they want shut people up they should just bring her the fuck back! Quit with the replacement characters and AUs. If people want that, they're write bad fanfiction like me.Jack Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04929572842990203873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917870048446264335.post-27211094716816960932011-06-22T23:23:18.249-04:002011-06-22T23:23:18.249-04:00To me Jean Grey is like Psylocke.

The whole Phoenix mythos is about a bird that dies and is reborn. Psylocke was attached to the Crimson Dawn. Even if marvel wanted to get rid of it. When Betsy died they could've said "this one last time" instead of the contrived bullshit Claremont gave us with Jaime and eXiles. Jean coming back would make sense. We more or less expect it. Hope, Madelyne, Rachel and AOA Jean are just horrible teases. Like a fat girl in Cosplay. no one wants to see it and it ruins your lewd sexual fantasies about that character.IceColdEmmaFrostnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917870048446264335.post-26085399712227663312011-06-22T05:39:39.150-04:002011-06-22T05:39:39.150-04:00I'm glad too, but I still don't consider i...I'm glad too, but I still don't consider it very 'real.' An AU Jean Grey is like imitation crab meat. It tastes good, but it's not the real thing. It's just a farce. After reading the comments of the X-men writers on how they think Jean dying freed Cyclops, I'm convinced that they won't bring Jean Grey back for at least another several decades. What a fucking joke.Jack Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04929572842990203873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917870048446264335.post-47600197749448596392011-06-21T22:37:38.378-04:002011-06-21T22:37:38.378-04:00After all the cock teasing Marvel did with Hope be...After all the cock teasing Marvel did with Hope being Jean Grey.

May it never end! Uncanny X-Force has a thick scent of badass with each issue and throwing AOA into the mix really spices things up! I just hope Angel shows up at one point because everything X-Force is doing is for him. I really would like to see the Arcangel aspect emphasized a bit. This was just the first issue of the AOA arc so there's still plenty of time!

The art is beautiful, the storyline is badass feeling continuous rather than jumpy from issue to issue, but I have to agree with you that so many scenes in the AOA without scenes with Angel in 616 can lean towards cashing in on a gimmick. Dark Beast in this issue felt like a mixture of the rabbit and the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917870048446264335.post-43149449820414267682011-06-12T17:37:12.662-04:002011-06-12T17:37:12.662-04:00Yeah, I had a feeling you would enjoy this issue. ...Yeah, I had a feeling you would enjoy this issue. lol I'm glad Marvel using Age of Apocalypse again. It's one of their most compelling alternate universe. It's even more compelling when you have characters in it that are dead in 616.<br /><br />I'm also interested in Jean's reaction. Something clearly happened to Wolverine in AOA. It's unfortunate because AOA is the only reality where Jean/Logan actually worked. Their personality and background is different in 616 and more compatible. That's why I think it will be awkward for 616 Wolverine and AOA Jean. Because 616 Wolverine IS different in a lot more ways than AOA Wolverine. He's not the man Jean fell in love with just as she's not the woman he fell in love with. But I think they're still going to help each other and it makes for great drama!<br /><br />This has been a great issue and a great series. I just hope we get Arcangel more involved.

Go figure Marvel couldn't have Jean/Logan last without something horrible coming in between them. Uncanny X-Force has been a wonderful surprise for me and a pleasant read, despite its dark plot (which I enjoy very much). Compared to the rest of the X-books it seems to have more stability and with overall spot-on characterizations no matter how zany some of those characters are, like Deadpool.rekkanoryonoreply@blogger.com
