even as a fellow kurtty shipper myself, if there was a verse where I wouldn't mind Kitty stabbing Kurt a few times (fatally), it would be 616 and that's all because of krakoa since Kurt was a real pain through and through to the other characters and to the plot itself while Spurrier wrote him.
my girl turned into the ninja she swore herself off of becoming, went through hell and back in fall of x and nearly stabbed firestar for seemingly selling mutants off to orchis during the attack and switching sides (she didn't, she was a spy within their ranks) all while dude bro was having fun as some wanna-be spiderman cosplayer.
everyone else got things going : they canonically managed to contact the f4 and doctor Van Doom, plan for what to do during cyclops's trial, break inside the orchis prison holding cyclops and juggernaut, spy on orchis, ... all during fox. that's how much time wasn't wasted because it couldn't be wasted under those circumstances.
if Kurt had been locked in an orchis cell this whole time, he would have at least been sympathetic and salvageable as a character and friend. the scenario we actually got instead makes him look worse than awful as a person and no f-ing friend of his calls him out on it
fr. not only was nightcrawler's mini a pointless waste of paper and canonically a waste of time, it doesn't improve Kurt's character or restore him back to who he was in excalibur with that "finding myself" journey because he wouldn't even act like this dumb and foolish during excalibur and that was when he was younger and less mature.
I'd have to ask those fans : what made Kurt get so many crisis in faith and identity crisis during krakoa ? what stopped Kurt from being the version you liked so much from excalibur pre-fox ? the one some of you mentioned momentarily seeing in his immortal xmen issue long ago during axe ? ... being into politics ?
get real. what stopped him was Spurrier knowing nothing about the character he was tasked to write for close to 4 years and only figuring it out a little bit too late, at the wrong time and wrong place.
but I guess all those shots and panels of Kurt looking hot, bangable and cool while dressing up as a masked superhero he isn't and reliving his excalibur days are all you need to defended him tooth and nail as fans for being a selfish prick while mutants got decimated LIVE.
thank god the mommy issues brought him back to the plot, am I right guys ? because the one true addition nightcrawler's character really needed all those years ago was mommy issues ×3.
Its what I'm saying, Kurt is a bad person,we can't even use the "ah Kurt is just dumb" bc stupidity doesn't excuse his pathetic life crisis and how he priorize himself over all his friends. Azazel, the guy Spurrier wants YOU, to believe is the big bad, is coming out as redeemed than Kurt.
Kitty has dibs in stabbing the asshole. Yana,the coolest, should watch and take turns in stabbing him as a fun activity.
Now I ask, why Kurt was having all this crisis of faith and identity? I feel....that was never solved. Spurrier really had no clue on what to do with him and it shows. I'm on the theory Spurrier hates Kurt, secretly.
