What the fuck is their problem?

>>91491079
his gf has a penis

>>91491079
X-Men is fucking stupid and they think about it too much.

Massive fanboys with shit taste.

They've loved every X book in the last few years except E is For Extinction from Secret Wars and Peter David's last X-Factor book.

>>91491098
ftm, not mtf.

Stopped listening quite a while ago and was very confused by your pic OP.

As for the podcast itself, I felt like the fact that they were a couple was very distracting. Particularly the fact that Jay (Rachel at the time) was so domineering over Miles.

Hearing them praise Bendis' X-men in one of the early episodes certainly didn't help either

>what the fuck is Jay's problem?

>that time they actually skipped a week to go protest Trump instead of being mature and doing what people pay them to do

>>91491119
>they think about it too much.
Yeah Jay desperately wants to make a career out of eriting about gender and queer identity or something similar in comics, laughable as that is it just means they both over analyze every detail and have to double down to let everyone know when something makes them uncomfortable

>>91491549
> that time they put a trigger warning because a story about Wolverine had guns in it

Did you guys listen to the last live episode with Charles Soule? An autist asked him how Havoc turn good after Axis and Soule just said "he got better" and you can hear the dude holding back the urge to sperg out.

The episodes with Miles and a guest instead of Jay are always better than the regular show. Jay is podcast poison.

>>91491589
couldn't finish that one

>>91491286
dont ftm people get a penis after the surgery?

Miles is a cuck, Jay is a tumblirina. Just listen to how they discuss the comics. It's just fanboy tier to the fullest, praising everything Marvel does.
Considering that they recently got divorced/seperated and Jay is moving to another state, the podcast ain't gonna last long.
Jay spergs out about female charachters. Just listen to ger complain about the days of futures past film, she hates that they used wolverine instead of Kitty. She will constantly describe female charachters as "cool and badass". She's just a massive fanboy.
There's still hope for miles, if he can step out of jay's shadow/grip and quit being such a beta

>>91491847
my understanding is it's not a common or easy procedure.

That said, I though this week's episode was good and gave my some hope for Iceman.

>>91492105
Isn't it written by some fag who is always saying the future is female?

>>91492422
Didn't know the political slogan part...but you could tell, reading the Bendis and Hopeless stuff that they had no idea what they were doing besides recite GLAAD approved talking points. Like the only exposure they had to gay culture was through Glee episodes. This guy seems to have more understanding.

>>91491589
Link? I got to see that

>>91491079
>Jay is autistic. Literally. She has admitted it on her tumblr.
>Their humor is wannabe-quirky cringe
>Miles has his opinions dictated to him by jay
>they live in oregon
>praised the iceman as gay revelation like it was the most beautiful scene in an x-men comic
>like Jennifer "the fappening" lawrence as mystique
>talk about claremont run like it is the be all end all of x men.
>are so reddit-tier that people would drop the podcast if it weren't for their extensive detail of x men history

Am I missing anything, anons?

>>91491589
The interviews are the only thing worth checking out

The best episode is the one with the guy who wrote the show bible for Evolution

The Kurt Busiek interview made him look like an obstinate manchild when it comes to continuity

> I don't like the X-men unless it's boarding school drama like the Stan Lee stuff
> Miles points out that First Class is a whole comic about that
> It's not "real" so I won't even read it

Fucking hell Kurt you're 56 years old

>>91493587
Can you imagine if Mark Waid hopped over to their show to do a guest spot? They'd deteriorate into SJW-isms

>>91493746
No Waid would spend too much time talking about how Bob Harras is the worst thing to happen to comics to get into politics

>>91493782
What's Waid's problem with Harris?

>>91493746
Imagine the John Bryne interview.

>>91493897
Did they have an episode with John Byrne? When?

>>91493878
he was the X editor of the 90's and then Editor-In-Chief at Marvel until 2000

Waid, mostly rightly so, blames Harras for Marvel going bankrupt. He has nothing but bad things to say about him, his very public shit talking is why you won't see Waid writing for DC any time soon

>>91493897
>John Bryne
> an hour about how every artist except Cockrum, JRJR, and himself were shit

>>91491079
>mfw there are at least 40 tweets from Jay about being pissed off over stuff I have personally posted to their site or tumblr and they have answered 2 of my questions on the podcast.

>>91494070
Plus 30 minutes defending his destruction of the broccoli eating planet.

And then another 30 attack Claremont for his perversions.

>>91491549
>that time I posted on their website that trump was the first time I felt like there was a president who cared about me in the white house and Jay had a 10 tweet meltdown over it.

>>91494116
Jay seems to have MAJOR issues with people who don't send the show 100% happy positive shit.
She also seems to despise questions about why she always wears sunglasses

>>91493587
>The best episode is the one with the guy who wrote the show bible for Evolution

That was hilarious just because the guy keep seeming like he was pissed off about having to talk to jay

>>91494155
Sauce? I gotta see this shit

>>91494209
What was great about it was Jay would try to get some personal commentary in and the guy would talk as if she said nothing

>>91494205
It wasn't even things where I criticized the show. It was just for things like saying Jean mind controlled Iceman gay or saying Jubilee is bi and not asexual.

>>91494232
It's on her reabeta twitter from whenever that not an episode was posted.

>>91494155
Link? Just censor your name if she replied to u

> Blob is fat shamming!

I'm sure they have an even more melodramatic opinion on Asian Psylocke

Jay has such a hate boner for wolverine. She says it's because of how popular he is but i think it's because "muh problamatic manly man".
She doesn't want Miles getting any ideas

>>91494352
>aisian psylocke opinions
Wew lad. They did a whole episode about it

>>91494385
Oh please do tell, I'm not going to sit through whole episode of it.

I just want the problematic cliff notes

>>91494448
>does episode about Betsy becoming asian
>guest star is asian
>the word "problamatic" is thrown around every fucking minute
>they talk about and mention yellow fever
>They confuse claremont for being racist, never touching on claremont having weird fetishes including a body swap one.
>the Asian guest host sprinkles in plugs for her own creative owned work and claims that jubilee is a more complex charachter than psylocke
It is a really predictable episode

>>91491847
>>91491961
when they get them they tend to be weird sacks of meat with no features, it's better to just use a strap on since either way you aren't feeling shit

>>91494279
Nah, it is on her twitter. I don't have a twitter. Go back through her tweets to when that episode dropped. I'll try to find it. Currently she is arguing with me on her site over if nightcrawler is infact white or not while I maintain that he isn't white

>>91494606
you mean asian american.

>>91495013
>Jay arguing that Nightcrawler is white
>Motherfucker is covered in blue fur
>pigmentation is blue as well.
What is it with Jay and her desperate need to label every X-Men charachter.
By the way, did anyone notice that whenever they mention Donald Pierce post-Trump running for office (2015/16), they quit referring to the name 'Donald' altogether?

>>91495013
Of course he's white.

I honestly doubt they make it through the 90s. No more Claremont progressivism to enjoy, much simpler stories/less dialogue.

>>91495238
Like >>91491937 said, they won't make it to the end of the year. The show will fall apart when Jay leaves for NY. There are three possibilities when that happens:
>Jay continues the show with her new roomate girlfriend. Show gets feminist cringeworthy
>Miles continues with new host, show improves without Jay's cobstant need to hog spotlight
>most likely possibility: show ends.

>>91495407
Man Miles need a hug

>>91495468
I've read that people think they're seperating because Miles grew a backbone and ended everything. Listen to the shows after they announce their seperation. Miles is lively and dating another woman while Rachel is monotone, scripted, and lacking energy

Did anyone else listen to the Syther Xmen audio Dramas?


How I got into xmen, by the anon that constantly pisses off Jay

>Have shitty job I fucking hate with like a 90 minute commute
>I'll listen to the radio
>already hate NPR cause gamer gate
>I'll listen to ESPN.
>Get pissed off cause all the sills on there defend Curt Shilling for doxing 2 guys who were tweeting sexual things about his daughter getting 1 fired and the other expelled.
>I'll listen to podcasts
>I know I like old timey radio shows
>search audio drama
>find xmen audio drama
>fucker doesn't update show like fucking ever
>I need new xmen podcasts
And that is how I found autism and miles xplain the xmen

>>91495407
Well, I do expect them to get to X-Cutioner's Song. But after that it's a long 8 years of darkness until Morrison.

>Pic related is Jay before she went full almondtism
She goes apeshit when people ask her about her sunglasses.
I met them at a con where they had set uo a boith and when i asked her about her red sunglasses, she got passive aggressive snappy while Miles was visibly uncomfortable

>>91495755
She reminds me to KSD

How long until Jay converts to islam due to X-men Gold?

>>91495845
She is already jewish

>>91495755
She probably can't make eye contact with people due to autism.

>>91495560
It's fucking suffering that people polish their knob so fucking much that it seems like they own a monoplay on x-men podcasts
I can't seem to find any other x-men pods to listen to.

>>91495921
Yea those were the only 2 I could find and the xmen audio drama thing never fucking updates it has been like almost 2 years.

I also now have a new job that is like 20-30 mins away so there isn't much point in listening to more than 1 or pocasts a week if they are an hour long

>>91495997
I listen to podcasts during work. There are a shit ton of spider man and batman ones, but x-men is a dried up wasteland. It's fucking rare

>>91491937
>they recently got divorced/seperated and Jay is moving to another state,
Good for Miles

>>91496071
Podcasts are one of those things I do when there aren't other options, where as when I work if I would be able to listen to a podcast I can also do other things.

>>91496071
I've been looking for some decent comic book podcasts in a similar style to jay and miles, do you got any recs?

>>91496163
Amazing spider man classics is gold. It has none of the flaws of Jay and miles.
And some of the guys that do amazing spider man classics do a show called clone saga chronicles, a show about 90's spider man clone saga.
For superman, there's a show called from crisis to crisis and follows siperman from crisis on infinite earths all the way to infinite crisis.
Those are a good start

>>91494155

I can't temember I imagined this up (correct me if I did), but didn't Jay get salty because X2 was about the military instead of MUH RELIGION?
Jay is really autistic about the comic translations to films

>>91496163
"Wait, What" has a Fantastic Four series going through the first 400 issues. They're pretty good.

>>91496080
Miles is free of the evil that is Jay, and if we're lucky it might mean the show is free of her too

>>91495159
Nightcrawler is a mutie.

>>91494606

do they talk about how it was supposed to be temporary and the reason Psylocke stayed asian was Jim Lee liked drawing her?

>>91496600
There's a show doing that called the fantasticast. They're pretty amusing

>>91496647
Diffrent anon here. They never mention that.

So has anyone ever called Jay out on her shit or do they continue to lick her ass?

>>91497607
No one on the podcast no. Closest we got to that was the evolution guy's interview

>>91497797
But will Miles ever reveal just hoe fucked up she is?
I feel like there's dozens of stories about her ridiculus shit

Would the shoe be more rnjoyed if they kept cringe out of the show?

>>91492892
>talk about claremont run like it is the be all end all of x men.

What is Morrison and Wheadon (despite his faggy virtue signaling)

>>91494042
>Waid, mostly rightly so, blames Harras for Marvel going bankrupt.
The creative didn't help but they were such an insignificant factor considering they were doing the bidding of what the marketing suits wanted.

>>91500147
>Morrison
Neat ideas, but marred with a lot of shit art and Morrison taking out his problems with editorial on the storytelling.
> Whedon
Bland back to basics story, undoes all the good parts of Morrison's run besides Scott/Emma and adds nothing of his own

>>91494273
>saying Jubilee is bi and not asexual
Wait do they try and claim she's asexual? She spent most of the '90s on a team where one of her main sources of drama was the contest she had with Monet for Synch's attention. She's not even remotely bi either so I don't know where they (or you) would've gotten that from as well.

>>91500261
>they were doing the bidding of what the marketing suits wanted.
Yeah shortly after the Image guys left Marvel really shifted into licensing for cartoons, video games, and toys ( the movie rights were sold when they were desperate for cash). These licensing agreements meant editorial preferred more of a status quo and less radical changes. For example Lobdell's run is perfectly passable until Age of Apocalypse ends

>>91500261
Most of that stems from the marketing department at marvel stretching syories out for profit

>>91500682
That's what I'm saying. There wasn't really much that could be done. Marketing was running the show and the editors didn't have the ability to be anything more than glorified yes men.

>>91500337
Jay's problem is she scrolls tumblr, meaning she needs her charachters to have the latest quirky trends (like asexuality, because Jay's love life is a wreck)

Miles seems like he loves comics and the x-men while jay seems to be bitter about everything.

>>91500147
Whedon's run is incredibly shit and safe. Aside from Emma-Cyclops, it might as well been a pirate version of Claremont, which only reinforces the idea that Claremont is truly the end all of X-Men.

Thankfully, Morrison disproves it so you're half right.

>>91491079

Shit taste and they're way too big fanboys to look at the franchise critically in the podcast.
>Jump through most of O5 stories simply because they just want to get to the Claremont stuff, despite their mission statement being to cover the entire history of the X-men.
>Claremont's fetishes gets a pass
>Chris can't do no wrong, no matter what Jim Shooter said or did

>>91493587

It never stops amazing me that O5 X-men purists exist in the world.

>>91492105
What? Why? It was such an awkward interview

>>91494118
Based Byrne

>>91500842
It seems that Jay only likes the X-men because of the gay/minority metaphor.

>>91501158
O5 purists saw it was safe and started to crawl out of the woodwork with Bendis' All-new x-men.
Claremontfags are the worst. Lee/kirby x-men has ups and downs

Reminder Busiek ruined X-Men

Jay's opinions are uglier than her face.

>>91495685
>But after that it's a long 8 years of darkness until Morrison.

Dude, what? After X-Cutioner's Song you still have Fatal Attractions, Phalanx Covenant and Generation X, Age of Apocalypse... It really only really starts to go shit after Onslaught, when Logan's turned into a walking badger man and they're kinda directionless as a franchise, and even then you still had shit like Alan Davis' run which is pretty good until the end, by which point Davis is just going "how in the fuck did Marvel con me into scripting two ongoing books for couple of years that culminates in a storyline I had no passion in doing when this was meant to be a temporary filler assignment." Claremont's comeback, now THAT was where it got really bad until Morrison.

>>91500147

Mugga, Whedon's run is just recycled Claremont shit with some Josh sauce added for flavor. And it perpetuated shitting on Xavier with that Danger shit. I would have had no issue if Danger room itself had just mutated into having a mind of its own. But, no, Chuck basically enslaved her and said not a word about it for years. Fuck that shit.

>>91500842
Maybe one day he'll launch his own podcast where every week for an hour he just talks about Walter Simonson's Thor run. It's what he really wants

>>91501523
Miles deserves better. He deserves podcasts he can run to discuss the books he loves without some throat crushing parasite hurting him.
We must protect Miles, /co/mrades

>>91501666
At least he has a real job, he does something with computers at Dark Horse. Jay still wants to make a living writing about comics

>>91501844
Jay writing a comic would be the fucking dullest. She's not as witty as she thinks she is and sge has half a grasp on who the charachters are

>>91500717
Which is funny because Tumblr absolutely loathes asexuals.

The tranny is the sort of person that reduces X-men into its most absolutely boring possible interpretation of the stories, ripping away the fantasy and making it all about race and politics. Im listening to "her" talking about X-men gold and its all diversity this and representation that. I'd love to hear the dude speak his real mind. Anythign that indicates he thinks all that is utter bullshit?

>>91500887
Morrison's run is three years of him laying out everything he dislikes about the X-Men and is shit outside of his one good idea (the explosion of the mutant population into an actual culture).

>>91501158
Reminder that the characterization of Magneto in New X-Men stemmed from the fact that Morrison hated what Claremont did with Magneto because Magneto was a raving lunatic who wanted to kill all humans in the '60s and Morrison is obsessed with the Silver Age so that's the only acceptable version of Magneto for him.

I think it's really less O5 purists and more Silver Age purists with the O5 worship being a byproduct of that.

>>91501926
No fucking way. Really? Last time I was on tumblr, they were raving about how precious asexuals are.

>>91501949
My favorite aspect was the X-Men going public not as superheroes, but as a global mutant aid organization

X-Corp was a great storytelling opportunity, one that House of M just threw away

>>91501944
His silence speaks volumes. He doesn't speak or refer to her bullshit comments. So the conclusion that can be drawn is he doesn't believe half the shit she spews. But like some anons said, give it time now that they divorced

>>91501415
yeah for a podcast about the X-Men the 90's is a goldmine, there's so much content your could spend a decade just talking about the 75 issues of X-Man and the ethics of a banging an alternate reality clone of your mother.

>>91501994
It had more to do with being post 9/11 and Morrison was in full on "fuck terrorism" mode, in his eyes everything about Magneto that wasn't his terrorist days melted away and he became one dimensional.

> Chris Claremont had spent some considerable time developing the archvillain from his origins as a one note terror merchant in 1963 to a sensitive romantic antihero. Claremont's Magneto was a tragic, essentially noble survivior of the death camps, a man who had witnessed more than his fair share of sorrow and hardship and knew how to make hard choices. He had depth and dignity so i turned him into a demented drug addict

What I find amusing is Jay's constant rewrite of female charachers for the sake of feminism. She has a view of certain female characters that do not actually match up to who that charachter is.

>>91502128
I think the most fascinating idea about Morrison's Magneto is how he is a symbol of irrelivence. Kids wear him on their shirt but don't actually know who he is, like libcuck kids on college campuses who wear che gueverra shirts. Magnetos madness sprung from the drugs and his irrelivency as a symbol and individual

>>91502088
I dont know how people can willingly listen to her talk, her personality is so offputting, her autism could fill a room. Its clear only her opinion matters, it is the only right, and Miles must be so whipped dealing with that all the time. No sex is better then sex with that.

>>91501949
>Morrison's run is three years of him laying out everything he dislikes about the X-Men

To be fair, everything he hates is the stagnation of the franchise and recycling of the Claremont years.

>>91494042
Honestly people forget Waid was actually a good writer back then. His recent avengers stuff and champions is simply poorly done.

>>91502280
Rememer when Morrison got so fed up with editorial that he ended his run with a return to the status quo as a "fuck you" to them?

>>91502058

They either love asexuals or they fucking hate them. No middle ground.

>>91502202
that would be fine and dandy if Magneto was from the 60's like Morrison wrote him, but the character was still very relevant in universe and in reality.

Grant just hand-waved 40 years of character development to write the Magneto he remembered from the Fantastic Four cartoon as a child.

>>91502256
If you take a peek at her Tumblr, you can really see what kind of person she is.
Basically:
>tumblirina who vagueposts about "muh problems"
>I'm a piece of shit I watch rick and morty so that's how i know about self loathing
>uses x men panels as ways to show her emotions (usually panels of someone crying like a bitch)
>neverending posts about headcanons for charachters that contradict who they are
You have to wonder how bad the Jay and Miles marriage was

>>91496661
I hate the fantasticast. Atleast before xplain went to shit they showed their love for the earlier source material. Hell the spiderman podcasts also do that.

The fantasticast? Make fun of the ridicluousness of the silver age comics as if it had no depth to discuss. Even though Lee and Kirby introducing some character depth is what made marvel famous. Like there is so much to talk about the premier team in their early days but all they do is joke around and make fun of it.

Fuck them all to hell.

>>91502320
No

>>91502380

If you disliked what Grant did with Magneto, Morrison still left Sublime as a way to bring back old anti-hero Magneto, because he was mindcontrolled and thus wouldn't be responsible for his action, but Marvel was too retarded to use it.

>>91502432
Just like how they fucked up Ernst is Cassandra Nova

>>91501949
People love the omega gang and shit head version of quire.

People love Beak because Beak.

People love weapon omega and fantomex.

U-men was a neat concept as well.

Just few things he introduced. His run was actually good. I think the end of Planet X and here come's tomorrow soured on it though. Otherwise the middle and beginning of his run started out very strong.

Who shot Emma Frost was one of my favorites as we see Storm and Bishop play mutant CSI.

Real question: would Jay defend the X-Men Gold muslim artist controversy or would her jew-genes prevent such a thing?

>>91502392
>Atleast before xplain went to shit they showed their love for the earlier source material.

As long as it was Claremont. They love Claremont, they didn't really give two shits about the Lee/Thomas years beyond "well it was technically the foundation for the stuff WE love".

Now, I fully admit a lot of the early years isn't particularly good. But as long as you look at it with the goofy 60s context in mind, it does have some nice stories there. The Juggernaut two parter is fantastic. Unus and the Blob actually felt like a big deal. Magneto and his Brotherhood taking over a European flavored South American dictatorship nation was cool as fuck, etc.

>>91502490
>People love the omega gang and shit head version of quire.
Nobody knows who any of those people are outside of Quire and most people hate Quire. You were supposed to hate him anyway.

>People love Beak
Nobody loves Beak.

>People love Weapon Omega and Fantomex
More lies, especially on Fantomex's part as everyone hated him at the time and usually his showing up now is meant with groans.

>U-men was a neat concept
They're the type of characters that should be in a one-off half-serious story about the Rachel Dolezals and Shaun Kings of the world but nothing beyond that.

As long as comics fandom is flooded with people like Jay, we will never get great comics again.
>tfw it's time to pull Jim Shooter out of retirement

>>91502552
Most of that era is rightly ignored because it is absolute garbage. It gets a bit better during Thomas' first run but still isn't great. The second Thomas run with Neal Adams is legit great though, especially the Larry Trask story, but it's not enough to save the '60s stuff from being mostly shit.

>>91502542
the youtube show where they reviewed Gold was filmed before everything went down. Jay spent most of the time sperging out of Kitty's hair.

What's all this about?

>>91502681
God I'd kill to see what tumblrshits like Jay would do if Jim Shooter got Marvel back in line. There screeching could solve an energy crisis.

>>91502683

Lee/Kirby X-men has way more going for it than the Avengers, or even the early FF stuff. Spider-man is one of the few books from that era that were immediately good.

>>91502734
nu-male and his transgendered ex-wife have a podcast and youtube show where they go into insane depth about X-Men and pair up with fan theory shipping.
