Anyway, your benign interests aren't an indication of your character. Your personal ethics don't have to reflect or be reflected in media, even media you enjoy. And anyone willing to bully you over benign interests is showing a lot more of their own character than you are by watching any given movie or show. You cannot consume your way to an ethical existence; don't let people try and convince you otherwise. There is no such thing ethical consumption in the current system and anything they're interested in is also inevitably flawed in many of the same ways they'll posit as damning to their current target.

There are a lot of really cool-looking redesigns in this book, but by far my favorite is Sunfires. He looks awesome.

Gambit's confession of love goes super well... and it feels like Quicksilver is... pretty aware where the wind is actually blowing here... Gambit, however, is oblivious.

Guido's power allows him to change kenetic force into strength, so he is able to absorb the blast and let most of it out... but the stress of it causes him to have a heart attack, and the massize size of his chest makes them unable to properly perform CPR on him... but it doesn't matter as yet again, the Crystal Wave arrives.

X-Men Blue: Origins #1 (2023) MARVEL

I know some comic book readers are upset to learn Mystique and Destiny are Nightcrawler’s biological parents, but personally, I think that it is fantastic. When I learned of Chris Claremont’s idea to make the couple Kurt’s parent years ago, I thought it was strange, cool, and would NEVER be allowed at Marvel Comics. So as a queer kid disappointed that this revelation was scrapped in favor of making Azazel Kurt’s father, I found this retcon especially delightful. Is it convoluted? Yes. Is it awesome? Also yes. Sorry, not sorry, Internet trolls. This type of inclusivity and acceptance are exactly what I’ve loved about X-Men for decades. Kudos to Si Spurrier for making it canon. 👏
