Generation X (2017) Creative Team Revealed - RESURRXION

>Now in Central Park, the rechristened Xavier Institute has taken this move as an opportunity to re-evaluate their students, internally dividing the student body into three classes: The Next Generation of X-Men, the Next Generation of Ambassadors, and the Next Generation of… well, lovable losers. These are our Gen Xers. And they include mutants with benign powers, mutants who are considered liabilities during missions and/or battles, and mutants with personalities ill-fitting of an ambassador. They’re basically all mutants who just don’t seem to fit in anywhere — including the very school where they were promised they would fit in.

>CBR: Picking an X-team roster has to be a daunting task. How’d you settle on the characters you’re working with?

>Strain: Well, I knew that I wanted a member of the original Generation X to lead, so Jubilee seemed like the obvious choice. I mean, she is on 90% of online “most useless mutant” lists. But whatever, I grew up loving her in the ’90s, so I wanted her.

>Everyone else was a pain to pick though. I literally spent weeks reading up on a ton of the younger mutants. Weeks. I think [editor] Daniel [Ketchum] wanted to murder me. But in my defense, I was looking for some very specific things, and you’d be surprised at how hard it is to find young mutants with weird/”weaker” powers or personality flaws that made them more of a liability than an advantage during a fight. Luckily, Quentin Quire’s such a coin flip that he was a pretty obvious choice. And for all of his entitled jackassery, I’ve always liked that at his core he’s really just a lonely adopted kid looking for a family.

>>88053959

>Another stand out for me was Eye-Boy. Dude has an eye on his tongue. How’s anyone going to want to make out with that? And while his heightened level of perception gives him insight into his cisgender, heteronormative, white privilege, it doesn’t really give him the ability to run faster when a Sentinel’s trying to stomp him dead.

>And then we’ve got Benjamin Deeds. The best thing that’s ever happened to that kid was Emma Frost steamrolling all over him in Atlantic City. I want more of that. And then maybe afterwards, for him to grow a fully-formed spine. With his ability to morph his looks, Benjamin should be leading covert missions. But until he grows himself a bucket of self-confidence, he ain’t goin’ nowhere.

>I was also interested in working with lesser known, pre-existing characters that I could have fun further developing. Because while I didn’t want to create an entirely new cast, I love the idea of adding a little definition to some relatively blank canvases. I mean, Nature Girl exists. Why not give her an actual voice? And maybe a penguin bestie. And I can identify with Bling!’s unrelenting drive to define herself beyond the scope of what her parents want for her. That’s rough.

>And then there’s Nathaniel Carver, the one character I did create. In the interest of full disclosure, I’m just going to admit that Nathaniel’s half-Korean because I’m half-Korean — but I swear we come carrying completely different baggage. I just didn’t think I’d be doing [“Totally Awesome Hulk” writer] Greg Pak or I any justice if I didn’t create a hapa hero. Anyway, his ability’s psychometry (seeing something/someone’s past via touch) so he’s at the Institute trying to avoid his fate as a crime solving coroner. Good times.

>>88053971

>CBR: As an alum of the first “Gen X” series, Jubilee is the obvious connection between these two volumes. What’s your take on Jubilee, and how does being a mentor suit her?

>Strain: In some ways, Jubilee is the perfect mentor for this group. She’s been a student and she’s been an X-Man. She was a mutant and now she’s a vampire. She’s been around the block enough times to know that you don’t need the title of “X-Man” to help save the world. As an unrelentingly hopeful well of motivational sayings, Jubilee’s kind of the ultimate den mother for this bunch of misfits. Then again, she’s also got a toddler running around now, so… let’s see how well she handles playing a mom 24/7.

>CBR: Quentin Quire has a strong personality. Jubilee has a strong personality. Is there any chance of these two getting along? What does Quentin think of her?

>Strain: What does punk-ass Quentin Quire think of most people? Not much. But Jubilee’s saving grace is that she’s resilient, possibly to a fault. He can shove her as much as he wants, Jubilee’s not going anywhere. So there are definitely going to be clashes, but that’s a good thing because you can’t have drama without a few fireworks.

>And no, that was not a Jubilee pun.

>CBR: Are there any other ex-students that might pop by in a mentor role, like any of the original Generation X crew? Any specific characters you’re dying to write?

>>88053951
>Written by Christina Strain
Who the fuck is Christina Strain

>>88053989

>Strain: Chamber. Chamber, Chamber, Chamber, Chamber. Did I mention Chamber? After all, Jubilee’s gotta have someone to confide in, and who doesn’t love a sad boy? And there are a few other members of the original Gen X crew that I’m definitely interested in checking in on, including Husk — but don’t expect a Chamber/Husk romantic reunion. As for other ex-students, I do have an affinity for Dani Moonstar and Magik, so I imagine you’ll see them popping up at some point. And I don’t know that Andre Mexer counts as an ex-student, but hear me now: he’ll be around.

>CBR: X-teen books always start out focusing on the school aspect but, of course, dive into adventures and peril. What balance are you looking for when it comes to classwork and superheroics?

>Strain: Tough to say, because I think that’ll ultimately be dictated by story. Like, each arc’s going to be different, but “Runaways” is probably my touchstone comic in terms of balance. It was so good about mixing the character stories with super heroics, so that’s the sort of balance I’m looking to achieve.

>CBR: You made a name for yourself in comics as a colorist, most notably your stellar work on “Runaways.” How did you make the jump to writing?

>Strain: Aw, thank you! I still really miss that book, and I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am to watch “Runaways” as a TV show. I can’t wait to see Josh [Schwartz] and Stephanie [Savage]’s spin on it. But let’s get back to your question!

>>88053951
>bling!
>Quentin Quire


YES YES YES

I think Emma Frost after IVX is evil in The NEW Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, or dead.

>>88054007

>After coloring for Marvel for about seven years, I had a bit of spandex fatigue. I just needed a palette cleanser. And because I’m proactive and prescribe to the idea that you’re the master of your own destiny, I decided to write the kind of story I wanted to work on, which ended up being a Korean supernatural horror webcomic called “The Fox Sister.” And it really reignited something in me that I hadn’t felt since I first started coloring, which eventually made me realize that writing was something I should pursue.

>So, after ten years of working for Marvel, I officially retired from coloring and went to grad school for screenwriting. After graduating, I was fortunate enough to land a job as a staff writer on Syfy’s “The Magicians” and when I told my editors (who I kept in touch with because they’re amazing), [editor] Chris Robinson responded by asking me if I was interested in writing a seven page White Fox story [in “Civil War II: Choosing Sides” #6]. Which, of course, I was. Next thing I know, I’m back at Marvel, loving life as a writer. Circle of life.

>CBR: Does your history as a colorist influence your writing process in any way — specifically where it comes to working with your artist Amilcar Pinna?

>Strain: Very much so. Overall, there were certain things that annoyed me as a colorist that I try to avoid doing too often in scripts that I write. Things like ten-plus people in panels, a million dialogue balloons covering up all the art, pages with more than seven panels on them… typical things that most artists get annoyed with.

>>88053951
>Christina Strain
Who?
>Amilcar Pinna

> Then again, she’s also got a toddler running around now, so… let’s see how well she handles playing a mom 24/7.
Pre-emptively dropped so hard.

>>88054020

>But I also adapt my writing to accommodate for my artists’ tastes and strengths, which is totally something I did when I was a colorist. Everyone’s different so it didn’t make sense to me to color everyone the same way. So I apply the same sort of logic to writing. If I’m working with an artist who prefers less panels on a page, I’ll aim for that. If I’m working with someone who needs more visual direction, I’ll beef up my panel descriptions. So the more I get to know Amilcar, the more my scripts are going to be tailored for him — it’s just the nature of collaborating. From my experience, a lot of writers who work with pencillers in the long term do the same thing.

>As for my future colorist though… I promise I will try so hard not to be all over you with notes/direction. Pinky swear!

>CBR: Amilcar Pinna’s work on “All-New Ultimates” and one (absolutely phenomenal) issue of “Astonishing X-Men” shows a fantastic ability to capture modern and emotive teens. And Chris Bachalo’s ’90s “Gen X” was super alternative and stylish. What can you tell us about the design and style of this “Generation X”?

>Strain: You basically tapped right into it. Amilcar’s art is distinctive and it has so much personality. A big part of the reason Daniel and I wanted him for “Gen X” is because, like Chris in the ’90s, Amilcar’s style is alternative and stylish. One of the things I loved about the original “Generation X” was that it showcased what was interesting and complex about the younger generation at the time — and that’s exactly what I want for this iteration of “Generation X.” Just with a millennial twist.

Or was he the All-new Ultimates guy aka Mango Silencer?

>>88054112
This writer sounds like a SJW herself, so that's weird.
Cable and Jean Grey are obviously white and Weapon X is probably white too unless they come out with some OC

>>88054320
I'd just be happy with getting rid of Shogo.
No one even likes Wood anymore, scorch the earth.

>>88053951
>>Christina Strain: For years, the Xavier Institute has been a sort of safe haven for young mutants. Society rejects them, they go to the Institute, and then they’re taught how to control their powers, usually in hopes of eventually becoming X-Men. But it’s dangerous. People die — sometimes by the busload.
>sometimes by the busload

That seems... ill-advised.

>>88054420
Plus the guy whose body is covered with eyes is going to be checking his privilege and checking it often.

has she ever written anything?

>>88054449
According to the article she was a staff writer on the show the Magicians.

And she wrote the short White Fox story in CWII Choosing Sides. Which also had a Korean character and talking animal sidekicks

>>88054449
Christina got her began working in comics in 2003 at Crossgen and UDON and has since gone on to very consistent work at Marvel. Her most notable work is that of Runaways and Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane and cover work for Grimm Fairy Tales.

She is most recognisable for her bright and dynamic style. Christina has often worked with pencilers who employ manga style techniques in their work, including manga-ka Takeshi Miyazawa on Runaways volume 3. I dont think son.

That issue was lewd as fuck

I like the idea of Eyeboy a lot. He just needs a cooler xmenish code name like Scanner.

Imagine
- perfect aim
- one eye for seeing telescopic
- one for microscopic
- one for infrared
- one for x ray
- can see invisible things like magic, auras, psychic energies.
- 360 degrees view
- ability to measure things perfectly with his sight.

OK, Strain. You've won your obligatory 3 issues to prove yourself. Don't fuck it up.

>>88054533
Go away shill.

Jesus I had such high hopes for the X-Men line of books, why must Marvel abuse my faith in them.

Every book announced so far sounds mediocre at best, or in this instance, down right dire at worst.

Amazing how by picking an oddball like Eye-Boy the first thing she reaches for is to comment on his white privilege.

>>88053959

Good, the "cram everybody onto the page" mentality of modern comics

I've never like read X-Men before. Only watched cartoons and movies and video games. Is there like a specific series to read?

>>88054504
>she wrote the short White Fox story in CWII Choosing Sides
That was pretty good for a 6 page story. Of course, that's mostly because the art was great. The writing was perfectly competent though.

>>88054625
Liking anything from Marvel that was made within the last 10 years makes you a shill, so fuck off shill.

>>88054633
Eyeboy and Quentin were both part of Aaron's WATXM, they were joined by Nature Girl in the forgettable WATXM vol 2

Quentin flirted with Bling! a bit in Wood's Wolverine & the X-Men: Alpha & Omega mini

And Bling! used to have a crush on Jubilee in Wood's X-Women book

Why is Jubilee still a vampire

>>88054661
Morrison's X-Men. That's the only thing worth reading from this century. Otherwise everything is either mediocre or too universe heavy.

Not what i wanted, but why arent they using all teen mutants as in New xmen Academy x with the different squads
That book was great

>>88055027
They only get better when the join dc, this is effing marvel

This team is even worse than the one from Spiderman and the X-Men.

I loved the old Generation X series. Although this seems to have almost nothing to do with it. Except Jubilee and those Husk and Chamber guest appearances. Doesn't it seem anachronistic to call a young team Generation X though? Also, is Jubilee still a vampire? What happened with that shit?

I'm not like hype for this or anything. It's super funny to see bitch about how bad it is because they didn't use the persons personal favorite X students

>>88055666

Shogo was a bad idea and having Jubes fundamentally kidnap him was worse. But what can you do at this point? She deeply cares for him, expressed how she felt about her responsibilities as a mother and we already know he can't go back to his real parents.
We've gotten to a point where she'd look like a little shit if Shogo just dropped from her stories.

nice shilling. in other words, she sucks
or sucked, someone, to get the job

>>88053971
But Psychometry is a good power.

The only worthwhile book in Secret Wars was Noelle Stevenson's Runaways simply for the sheer absurdity of Jubilee being a bad girl and holding any amount of power over mutants with powers that are actually useful for something.

I'm interested in how anybody can make the premise "Jubilee in charge of anything" work in any other fashion. So this book has my interest.

>>88057393
That really sounds like a joke to me. I'm optimistic about this, at least we know she actually cares about comics instead of being another shitty YA author hopping in the cape train.

So is Jubilee a Vampire still or is she suddenly a Mutant now?

It depends on what it's paired with.

Pairing psychometry with precognition is great. But if it's just retrocognition then he really is most useful as a crime scene investigator.

>>88057716

People here liked his Cable and X-Force, so that might not be so bad.

>>88057896
Triage looked cool at least and pretty much turned "I can heal" into a catchphrase. Hijack was okay idea, but bland execution. Under anyone but Bendis his mutant activation when he was already a man might have brought up interesting conflicts. Really, Bendis is the biggest problem to Bendis characters.

This isn't any better. The quality of writers they're putting on these books shows what Marvel still thinks of the X-Men right now.

You wouldn't be seeing a fucking colorist writing a major Avengers or Inhumans comic.

>>88054320
It doesn't even make any sense that someone who's no longer a mutant would be on an X team. It would be like an 'ex-gay' leading a gay rights group or something. They should be able to find some workaround. Maybe when she sucks a mutant's blood she gets her powers back temporarily or something. I don't know why everyone hates Jubilee's powers. Is shooting fireworks-like explosions really any lamer than throwing explosive playing cards or shooting beams out of your eyes?

>>88057906
x-men sells on name alone. X-fags will buy literal garbage by garbage creators as long is it panders to nostalgia or characters they like

She actually gets a lot of use out of that, as she's pretty much invulnerable when she's in that form.

>>88058447
Immunity to telepathy is never a bad power and it increases her durability and strength. Since it can be turned off when she needs to use her own mental powers, is super-powerful.

>>88058540
>>88058544
The fact that her power is useful and makes her powerful doesn't make it less lame. It's easy to create a team full of overpowered characters.

>>88058328
Let me know when that new Legion book shows up.

>>88058604
So what makes a power lame if it isn't applicability and it isn't power of it?

>>88058544
And Jubilee shooting little nuclear explosions from her fingertips isn't powerful?

>>88058668
Which makes Jubilee's powers being lame confusing to me.

>>88058631
Silliness.

>>88058770
All powers are silly when you get right down to it.

>>88058787
Sure, I guess. I'm just saying Jubilee's powers aren't any sillier than many of the other characters' powers.

>>88053951
Am I fool for having hope for X-Men when Marvel announced their line up, /co/? Because seeing the rosters and the creative teams makes feel as one.

>>88058861
Yes. You are

>>88058233
Marvel, pls. Supreme Gentleman solo book.

What exactly was the ideal scenario that would have made you faggots happy?

In the threads leading up to this it was nothing but NO HOPELESS NO HOPELESS and praying we didn't get any of Marvel's current shitty big name writers.

So we get a fresh face who has written some decent things and isn't followed by a long line of shit work. But it's not good enough.

People were also crying for a young book with underused heroes, especially after the generic nostalgia pandering shit of Gold and Blue.

We get 90% of a team that's barely been allowed to talk since their inception and has a mixture of creators rather than just being taken from Bendis or Aaron for example. But that's not good enough either.

All I've seen from Resurrexion threads has been bitching with nobody actually saying what they want. Marvel is probably fucking with us on purpose because we're so obnoxious.

>>88058964

yeah this book and iceman are actually starting in solid places. New creative teams is a million times better than same old fucks

Is Jubilee still a vampire?

Why is her power considered useless? She can shoot energy from her hands,its not OP but its not a garbage tier ability.

>>88058964
>What exactly was the ideal scenario that would have made you faggots happy?
You killing yourself

I will even donate money to charity if you off yourself

>>88058895
I had hope for rebirth when it was announced despite being called a fool for having it and DC actually delivered. So, I hoped Marvel will too.

Maybe I should give up on the X-Men and give Inhumans a chance because their creative teams are at least seems promising.

Anyone who uses the words 'cisgender, heteronormative, white privilege' in an interview about her book is shit. Never mind she's talking about a guy with an eye on his tongue.

>>88059004
For some reason Jubilee, Dani Moonstar and Prodigy still haven't gotten their mutant powers back after all these years. There've been new mutants all the time since AvX

And other characters like Xavier, Magneto, Polaris, Rictor, Chamber, Marrow, and even Stacy X all got their powers back so it's not like there's no precedent.

>>88059227

You're also intentionally (or just stupid and are arguing before reading) the fact that she went about becoming a writer the hard way. She wasn't a colorist who was just handed a job as a writer.

>>88059404
What circles? When did I write that I don't want veteran writer? Unless you think that someone like Guggenheim is a veteran, then I pity you.

Also, I don't care who she is. If she can't give a good interview, then it tells all I need to know about the "quality" of her book

Also, if you think there is a hivemind, when it comes to opinions, then maybe you're an even bigger retard than I had initially thought

Read Spurrier's interviews for a comparison, for how you give a GOOD interview, and come back, retard.

Also, a writer should be good with using the words, right?

>>88059506

If you don't give fresh writers a chance you never get those veterans that we all love. Everyone starts somewhere. This chick has proven herself to be at least competent.

You entire basis for her interview being bad is that you're a buttflustered Gamergater who gets upset at the mere mention off things like privilege and cisgender even in a joking context.

Now if those things actually make it into her book it'll likely be trash. But the way it's framed in the interview points to it being a joke.

There's nothing particularly bad in the rest of the interview. And she at least deserves props for doing her research in finding these characters.

>>88059647

Giving an on the spot interview is completely different from writing a story you fucking mong. There are plenty of famous writers and directors who can't speak for shit in front of people.

>>88059637

I'm saying it could be a joke but there's no reason to believe it was a joke making fun of those concepts, at most she was joking about saying his powers could be used for that. Given the general political leanings of most Marvel staff, and the fact that she is left wing (as seen on her Twitter) it's a reasonable assumption that she does believe people ought to check their privilege, and generally supports the same reverse-caste system all SJWs do. I'm not gonna waste my money on someone who despises me or views me as an oppressor on the off chance she didn't really mean it.

If they were aiming for nostalgia, why not go full on it? I'm not saying use the same roster but at least use the same tone and concept. They brought back the title but it's riddled with pandering.

>>88059865

Finding your white roots is often more difficult than finding the roots of a more unified culture. I'm a quarter beaner and look like the character Powder but I'm far more interested in and connected to that side of my culture because it's more distinct and I don't know where the white in me comes from other than that my beard is red. Whereas unless you're specifically from a certain European country and can trace it back directly "white" tends to be a melting pot label. It's pretty prevalent in America.

>>88059943
>riddled with pandering

Holy shit you guys play the victim just as bad as the SJWs you hate. How the fuck is Gen X pandering in any way? Half the team is white or mixed. Another half off the team is asian, who regularly get shit on or ignored by the diversity squad anyway because asians disprove a lot of their points about minorities. And then they've got ONE black girl who has a mutation that makes her not look black.

Meanwhile Blue and Gold are both entirely white as well.

I think we're all forgetting the most important factor here. Is she a qt?

>>88060049

>>88060091

>>88060111

So because you're immersed in one culture means you have to reject it for another as you get older? That makes it seem like they're ashamed at being white. Or that it's not cool to for them to be.

>>88059943
They should have brought back at least a few members of the team permanently. Fuck them for what they did to Skin (they crucified him on the lawn of the Mansion and then got his name wrong). I don't like this trend Marvel does of reusing the name of an old series for a new one that bears no relation to it (like Heroes for Hire, Thunderbolts, Defenders, etc.)

>>88060259
So they should be ashamed of their other culture instead?
It is up to the individual to do whatever.

>>88060049
I think that anon just takes issue with the writer making a big deal about white/cis/het privilege and hapa representation. The cover he posted includes an Irish guy, an America-Born Chinese girl, a French/Algerian/Bosnian girl, a white girl from Kentucky, a hispanic guy from LA, a white britbong with no mouth, a British-wannabe white woman from Massachusetts, a Yugoslavian woman, and a black guy from Missouri. That's diverse as all hell, but it was created in a time when no one at Marvel gave a damn about patting themselves on the back for drawing attention to it.

The original team was pretty diverse ironically. Jubilee is asian. Skin was Latino (they murdered him). M was a Bosnian Muslim. Synch was black (murdered, brought back as a zombie or something, current status unknown). Oh and Chamber is British and Banshee is Irish but I guess that doesn't count as diversity because they have white privilege.

Nobody had a problem with any of this diversity because they weren't telling readers to check their privilege and their identities didn't revolve around their ethnicities.

The hell are you talking about? Being white is great. I simply think a lot of other cultures are more interesting. Especially the asian cultures because of the way a lot of them developed in a sort of vacuum.

If this thread has done nothing else it's proven how people who claim to be on the opposite end of the SJW as this new chick are just as fucking irrational.

>They hired the Teahouse colorist to write a comic

That's like hiring Joel Schumacher's florist to direct a Batman movie.

>>88060676
So Hufflepuff

>>88053951
This interview reads like a literal parody of Marvel.

The writer isn't even an actual writer, she has no experience writing comics, she's a colorist! But okay, everyone's new at some point, that's not a deal-breaker.

The premise is interesting, and I've always been a fan of dividing the school into multiple groups, because then you get fun teen rivalries.

But everything else is terrible

>picking D-listers for the only X-teen book when there are dozens of underutilized characters with tones of potential and large fanbases, but no, let's choose fucking Eye Boy and Nature Girl, eternal reminders that Aaron is in the top 5 worst writers to ever write a main X-book
>I'll create a new character and he's precisely the same unique mix that I am but I promise it's not a self-insert lol
>I'll pick characters to guest-star based on who my faves are, not who would be interesting or work well for the story
>more SJW bullshit, and on a guy who'd be more ostracized IRL than virtually any minority because he's stupidly freakish-looking
>Almost no teasers about villains or plot points or anything beyond the most general description of the book

I remember how we complained about Quesada and his ilk 'running the asylum' and whatnot years ago, but this interview leaves me with zero confidence. An inexperienced writer recycling old names and ideas, talking about identity politics at a bizarre place in the interview (Champions doing it makes sense since that's what the books is about, but this is a team of losers and outcasts and you go "oh but that guy's white, he's much more privileged"), picking literally who characters to focus on (and when the book inevitably tanks Marvel will be able to say "see, teen books don't sell") and the only truly new thing (because some form of campus division has been a staple of every Institute since the early 00s) is a guy notable for sharing her ethnicity - that's how she introduces him as, before even powers.

Reeks of amateur hour.

>>88060541
>Nobody had a problem with any of this diversity because they weren't telling readers to check their privilege and their identities didn't revolve around their ethnicities.

Exactly. What kept me reading was not
"muh representation" but because the stories were captivating and has substance. It felt like the diversity was a norm in the comics.

Why does Marvel have to emphasize HARD that the X-men franchise is about social commentary when the Xmen has always been social commentary. Can't the writers include their social issues in the plot as a part of the elements that moves the story forward. Not character statistics for the heck of completing the diversity qouta.

>>88060856
You seem to be implying that hasn't been the case since at least the late 70s and went into overdrive in the 90s. The two reasons why people write comics for Marvel are to springboard career in a different medium or because they liked them as a kid and want to wank their nostalgia.

>>88060259
You said nothing about rejecting one culture initially. Which is good, because most of people don't reject their European heritage, they've just been raised with it as the norm, and they want to find out what the other half of them is about.

A person becoming interested in the non-white side of their family does not mean they are rejecting whiteness. I'd chance that you're being a little bit paranoid about this subject.

>>88060838

Not exactly. Because it has people like Quentin who are Omega Level threats and likely belong on the X-Men but simply don't function there because of attitude problems/self-confidence issues/etc.

Should make for some pretty interesting character interactions if it's done right. Even if they don't explicitly say it these kids are going to realize they're on the team of rejects which is already a weirdly demoralizing thing to do to mutants and reeks of the Inhumans classist society. But then you're mixing the kids so that half know they're useless and the other half know they're better and have actual potential. Mix that in with teenagers and KABLOOEY.

>>88060711
>cisgender,
A word intended to pathologize normal people. We don't need a word for people who aren't trans.

>heteronormative,
Heterosexuality is normal (usual, typical, common).

>white privilege
White people are the majority in North America and Europe. Any person who is part of the majority of their given country will have social advantages over people who are not the majority. 99% of the complaints about white privilege would apply to a Chinese guy living in China too. Life is easier if you are part of the majority, you will fit in more. So should we call the Chinese out for yellow privilege? Also just because your group is not excelling and has higher rates of crime, lower grades, worse jobs, etc., doesn't mean the successful groups are cheating. Asians and Indians in Western countries do as well or often much better than white people. SJWs explain this away as these being honorary white people or something. Completely insulting to successful minorities and rejecting the role of hard work in their success.

I have no problem with gay or trans people or ethnic minorities, I have a big problem with this insane SJW ideology and these newthink terms and anyone who uses them is declaring that they want me to be penalized for the circumstances of my birth. They are declaring themselves to be my enemy so I will not give them my money or pretend to be friendly with them.

So we should never try to develop new characters? We should always stick to fan favorites? Yeah thank fucking god you're not in charge.

>I'll pick characters to guest-star based on who my faves are, not who would be interesting or work well for the story

And then you shit on her for bringing back fan favorites over characters that work for the story she's telling (THE D LISTERS SHE CHOSE)

I think people miss Rockslide, Anole, Hellion, Pixie, basically the New X-Men class. But whatever, let's pick some lolrandumb characters that Aaron creater. Because fuck you fans.

Also, I don't get why do you defend her with such zealotry? Are you her cisgender heteronormative boyfriend and she ordered you to check your privilege?

>>88060996
I don't have a problem with the case, but I think it is a dirty trick to give this book a nostalgia-title like Generation X (Generation X is nothing but 36+ year olds now) and yet the only character from Gen X is Jubilee.

Actually a decent writer too I enjoy her X-23 even if she gets a LITTLE too dramatic at times.

>>88061077
It keeps the name rights with Marvel. Generation X works because of the X-Gene pun, so maybe it should have been Generation neXt or something in an ideal.

>>88061098
She would have been a superior choice for Gen X for sure.

>>88060811
I don't understand how the Celts and Druids, the ancient Greeks, the Romans, medieval Europe, the British Empire, even revolutionary America, are so much less interesting than non-white civilizations. Nothing wrong with being interested in non-white civilizations, I am too. But why you felt the need to belittle white civilizations is beyond me.

>>88061075
Nature Girl is literally the only person that Aaron created out of the squad.

>>88061075

I don't see why you attack her with such hypocrisy. I don't have much faith in anything Marvel does with the X-Men these days but why make a bunch off baseless assumptions? To make yourself feel better or something? If it's shit it's shit if it's decent to good then I'll read it. But when you're coming up with blatant hypocritical and fallacious points I'd call you out even if it was about Bendis.

This thread wouldn't even be half as cancerous if she hasn't made that white privilege joke.

>>88061098
I agree. She has potential. She writes for the character. I felt that while reading X23 and Black Widow. And yes, she has tendency to go dramallama sometimes but yes, she definitely got something brewing. Hopefully, she improves more.

>>88061149
wrong. Eyeboy is, nature girl isn't

>>88061160
oh for fuck sake, just shut up

tl;dr

>>88061149
Even though Morrison created him, Aaron was the one responsible for defining the character of modern Quire.
>>88061186
And this is actually correct, Nature Girl is Latour's.

Yeah, the book actually went by the Generation Next name during the Age of Apocalypse.

>>88060994
But seriously, Liu has room for improvement. She can write a story that tells a story and attempts to respect characterization and continuity.

Why not chose her for Mighty CM?

>>88060966
Enough with this meme. The writers need to stop pushing Quire as this great threat that needs to be stopped. He isn't. He is a pathetic kid who thinks he knows about the world when he doesn't. For all his talk about revolution and what not, Quire at the end of the day has no idea what it entails nor does he have any real ideology to base it on. The whole 'Magneto was right' is actually completely wrong as not even Eric subscribes to his original philosophy of eradicating humans as he sees it as wrong.

But hey what do I know right?

Real talk, I would much prefer to see these guys as something more than wallpaper again. They seemed like they were going somewhere.

>>88061028
Note, you idiot, that I said "for the ONLY X-teen book". We absolutely should develop new characters, but when it's zero sum like Marvel's treating the X-Men these days, and my choice is between getting, say, the actual Gen X kids or FUCKING EYE BOY then yeah I'm gonna go for the former.

I didn't complain about the Academy X kids because there was still a place for the earlier folks back then. Same with Gen Hope.

But since AvX it really is a "every writer chooses their own snowflakes, spends two dozen issues with them, the next writer comes along and tosses them aside, chooses their own snowflakes etc." Armor was a huge deal with Whedon in 2007. Pixie was a huge deal with Fraction in 2009. Etc. And then they fell completely by the wayside. This isn't "developing new characters", this is writing about wallpaper, knowing that as soon as the book is cancelled those characters are as good as gone.

My argument is straight, you just can't read - I'm opposed to her picking D-listers if it's the only Young X-Men book we're getting, but if she picked D-listers to tell a specific story, then the guest starts should reflect that. Chamber could work to offer perspective on being a fellow freak and a superhero (although that's not how she implied he'll be used), but the others are literally there because she likes them, not because they make sense. That's bad storytelling, no matter how many reaction images you post.

>>88061278
Thanks for proving my point

>>88061304
Weren't they the first ones that were definitely confirmed to be replaceable with New Mutants being serious AF and Gen X at least pretending they would be able to become mainline if they don't die first?

>>88061278
To be fair, modern Quire was essentially created by Aaron. He's nothing like he once was.

And Bling is a character that should stay in the background.

>>88061252

I don't know if she's with Marvel anymore? She was writing for Image and Dynamite the last two years.

>>88061263

All I said was that he's an Omega Level Mutant. Whether that potential is reached is irrelevant. Bobby is Omega Level as well but the only thing omega about him these days is how gay he is.

>>88061323

literally the worst character of his era and then bendis and arrons because they pushed him.

But every character on the roster except hellion and jubilee were only made after xmen was shit and very few people even liked them.

>every writer chooses their own snowflakes, spends two dozen issues with them, the next writer comes along and tosses them aside, chooses their own snowflakes etc.

Why is this bad again?

No really bare with me here. Each writer gets to take a fresh cast of faces. Tell a complete story with them and develop them in their own way. And then they move on. The characters aren't ruined and run into the ground or retconned. They get to exist in their own story, preserved, and then we get a fresh new cast. I'd much rather that than what we're getting in Blue and Gold for the umpteenth time.

>>88054039
>Then again, she’s also got a toddler running around now, so… let’s see how well she handles playing a mom 24/7.

Arggh. I hate what they're doing to the character. She's supposed to be a friendly laidback jokester, not some edgy undead single mom.

>>88061398

Do you know what "created by Aaron" means?

>>88061252
>Why not chose her for Mighty CM?
I think she's focusing with Monstress.

>>88061383
I honestly have no idea what they were doing with Quire in recent books. First he was tangled in some weird love quadrangle, then mandatory THERE'S SO MUCH POTENTIAL IN YOU, STOP BEING A DICK arc. Then Phoenix Corporation? Wat?
And now I remember Bendis' Uncanny and Quire eating apples in all group shots.

Freelance means she can come and go as she pleases, but it does appear as though Marvel decided to drop her after the sales disappointment of Astonishing X-Men (which followed the sales disappointment of X-23). Too bad, because it was the best one at the time.

No, she can develop and change, but if you change her persona completely she's not the same character any more. She's currently like the opposite of herself. Even her name Jubilee indicates she should be a fun character.

>>88061510
Considering her interview and her character choices no. Fuck you Marvel can fuck right off and ill slander the fuck out of them every chance I get for getting shit writers to ruin x-men even more than it currently has been ruined.
