X-Men '97 really exposed fans of a certain character. It proves they aren't interested in who she actually is as her own person. They just like their idealized '90s "badass" Psylocke aesthetic, even if it means giving her Betsy's relationships, history, and abilities.
@buggy_ant@samuli47 Yes, the look Claremont and Lee created for Betsy in 1989. That’s what actually happened. You can’t credit a retcon character created years later for that success. It makes no sense.
Imagine thinking Tini Howard’s Betsy was good writing lol that lady simply disregarded 30 years of character development and tried to write a shitty version of Outback Betsy. TH was the one doing the regression
X-Men fans are this close to realizing that 95% of Kwannon “fans” don’t actually care about her as her own person. They just like Jim Lee’s fetishized “omg badass ninja” from their cherished childhood. Notice how most of them are former Betsy fans who hated Mystery in Madripoor.
why do some of u think u can dictate what qualifies as good asian rep when it comes to kwannon 😭 if ur replacing her w betsy but keeping the yt woman’s traits and roles in the arcs they’re adapting, how is that any different from erasing kwannon’s agency in the body swap?
Uncanny X-Men is such a mess. You can tell Gail Simone was trying really hard to course-correct the mess she created by letting the mutant prison remain operational for as long as it did, and she ended up coming up with the dumbest excuse. #Xspoilers
@Ly0nard0 Que sucesso digital? O engajamento podre, não ganha seguidor nem com reza braba, as poucas publis que faz são cheias de comentário de hate kkkkkkkkkkk
@BrunoMellx That’s true for all the characters. Can’t stand Gambit and Rogue’s cheesy love declarations in every single issue anymore. Jubilee is also way more interesting and much better written in the Psylocke Ninja retro series than she is in Uncanny.
