i’ve basically just hit the threshold where i’m legitimately contemplating adding carol danvers to tumblr saviour because i’m just so disgusted with how desperate her fanbase is getting in attempting to bury Monica Rambeau’s existence.

It’s not like Marvel…

After re-reading the Roger Stern Avengers run lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about Monica Rambeau and her invisibility in regards to the Captain Marvel legacy, so this was an interesting read to me.

In which there is a whole, whole lot going on; we continue to have no use for Michael Rossi; Wolverine should be an advice columnist; Forge makes bold fashion choices; the health of a timeline is directly tied to the awesomeness of Storm’s hair; and the X-Men get their first dark-future refugee.

  • Casual enmity
  • Forge
  • Miles’s X-doppelganger
  • Tiny shorts
  • Chekhov’s Raygun
  • Rachel Summers (again)
  • Timeline disambiguation

HEY, INTERNET! WE MADE YOU A PODCAST!

X-Plain the X-Men has now reached the point where I was reading these issues as they came out. This is a strange, wonderful nostalgia point for me.

First, maybe the head of the police union would like me to stop pointing altogether for the safety of the community. If that were truly his concern, that my pointing constitutes gang activity, then his outrage would have been sparked long, long ago. Because as the internet has documented in great detail, I point. I point a lot. Lots of people point. The President. Bill Clinton. Stephen Colbert. Babies. It is the earliest form of human communication.* I’m not going to stop pointing.

That option doesn’t make sense.

From here.
