oh and by the goddamn way

[tocryabout]

I have had it with New X-Men. Hear me, Marvel? Yeah, that's right, you just lost one of those customers in the 18-24 gay female demographic that you care so much about. The book has gone to hell.

- The characters now fall into three categories: DICKHEADS, KILLED FOR NO REASON, and COMPLETELY IGNORED. Julian, Nori, Santos, Jay and Josh fall into the first category; Laurie and pretty much everyone else fall into the second; Cess, Sooraya, David, and (wibble) Kevin fall into the last.

- I was actually hoping that Cess would go after Kevin by herself. Or that the storyline would give him a bit of attention. Dear Marvel, this could be a good chance for him to be teh EVOL and sell out his friends because um he feels guilty and wants to be "cleansed" himself? The alternative (unhinged kid with nothing to live for and a power that makes him homicidal disappears and...nothing) is not all that plausible. It's also boring. Get into this.

- Speaking of Cess, COME ON. I want her and Sooraya to totally get their own book. Full of girlslash. Stop ignoring these characters, Kyle/Yost. I MEAN IT.

- Oh, the art blows too. I was willing to ignore that when I actually liked the characters. Not anymore.

- X-23 is the least annoying character, surprisingly enough. I'm sure that's deliberate on Kyle/Yost's part.

- It's a relief that Laurie isn't going to be in any more pain from the writers. However, I am really disappointed that there won't be a Bitchy McBitter Laurie with a bionic arm anytime soon. BIONIC ARM. That part is important, Marvel dudes, so write it down.

- Fuck Jay and his stupid wings. No one who likes Jay gets to call Kevin a Rogue knockoff, okay? "Let's take Warren and make him an Appalachian hillbilly rockstar who somehow acts like a California teenager and uh we'll make him really emo and selfish and basically get rid of everything that made Warren bearable. Cool? Where we going for lunch?"

- I like Josh when he fails disastrously. If he'd done that more often I wouldn't hate him.

Anyone whines about spoilers and I will CUT YOU.

Laurie's dead? O.o

[to-cry-about.livejournal.com]

For true. Gunned down by Stryker's guys. I'm mad even though I wasn't a big Laurie fan--Kyle/Yost have been running up a really unacceptable bodycount over a very few issues.

...DA-ANG!

Ha. I didn't mind Laurie in the beginning, but after she lashed out at Kevin I totally said, "bitch, you deserve to die." But she could have had a better death, like everyone else who's been murdered for no friggen reason!

*Marvel just lost another NXM fan*

OH NOES SPOILERZ.

I miss my comic addiction hobby. I must needs check some out; I daren't go to my old comic shoppe (where I used to work) because my ex-boss keeps hitting on me and it creeps me out.

[shareul.livejournal.com]

And I totally meant to use this userpic; can't do nothing right.

[ex-the-epic80.livejournal.com]

Wanna see the new movie with me?

[waterstrider.livejournal.com]

Sure, if you'll be around then. Although I hate to give money to the people who KILLED CYCLOPS OMG.

[ex-the-epic80.livejournal.com]

OMG SPOILER.
I want to take a trip, you seem a logical destination given that you're unlikely to anger me as much as the vast majority of people I know do.

[waterstrider.livejournal.com]

Unlikely? Sounds like a wager to me, sir!

[ex-the-epic80.livejournal.com]

You're on, and what shall the terms be?

[youngest-one.livejournal.com]

They killed Laurie. God Dammit. Why, Marvel, why? Do you not realize that when you have interesting characters, you need to keep them around, not throw them in the trash to make way for some stupid outlandish plot?

I never really saw Soorya or Cessily as having much potential for girlslash, but then again, I think that Logan and Cyclops were just enemies in the XMMV. Which shows how well my slash goggles work.

All I have to say is, I agree with you about almost everything. Yeah. They've made this books such a wasteland. Sooraya, Cess and Kev are definitely the most interesting characters the book has... X-23 just feels like an excuse they cooked up to make Julian feel better that Sophia left and dumped his ass. Too bad I'm starting to like her.
