I think the image links are down, but GIS showed me a cached thumbnail.
There were inconsistencies with the pictures and he always skirted the question when that came up. If I remember right many people asked him to just post a video? And either he refused or he posted something that was really really really bad quality that didn't make sense considering the quality of everything else he had?
It wouldn't be as nice to have those dicks in place of fingers, though
Cyclops: count me in, i want to see while not destroying anything without my sunglasses.
Chainsaw hands Joe
That's what they call chainsaw man in the dub
I really wished Rogue had just taken her gloves off and held Storm's hand in that scene. Would have put the point across beautifully.
"Theres nothing to cure? Is that Right Ms. Amazing powers with no horrific disfigurement thats not a threat to anyone?" takes off glove "If I dont need a cure, then shake my hand. Go on. Do it. I'm perfect as I am, right?"
"Uh..I.."
"SHAKE MY GODDAMN HAND BEFORE I WRAP IT AROUND YOUR THROAT YOU STUCK UP ELITIST BITCH"
Fun fact - in the comics Forge made a gun that strips away mutant powers, and the government tried to use in on Rogue (which, having absorbed Ms. Marvel, was much more of a threat than her version in the Fox movies) - but Storm, ignorant to the gun's purpose, took the bullet for her. After that, lamenting the loss of her powers became her entire personality for a while. Comics being comics eventually she got them back - but I think that she is still a bit salty about this, and it shows in that scene.
Refresh my memory. Was that when she got the mohawk haircut and started dressing like Grace Jones back-up dancers?
Lifedeath. One of my absolute favorite Storm arcs. Such a great story and the art is top notch.
Yeah that line always bothered me as well. Rogue should have just pocked her. Yeah, feel how fine do you feel now
If Cyclops was in the room she could have just busted his visor.
We don't need medicine, prescription glasses, clothes...
We are all perfect already.
No, it's more like "we don't need to change our skin colour or our sexuallity etc., we are perfect already."
That's definitely what they were going for. X-men had other jokes clearly indicating the comparison between the LGBTQ movement and being a mutant. The comparison doesn't work as well for kill everything she touches lady, though lol.
We look at mutants and see cool powers, but mutants in the Marvel universe are first and foremost a hated minority. Storm wants to fight the very idea of the cure, because if the cure exists - mutants will be forced to take it. The poster boy of the cure in that movie was was Warren Worthington III, and he got one of the relatively good mutations (yes, it's physically visible, but it's not one of the grotesque ones) but his father still tried to force the cure on him.
It sucks for mutants like Rogue who really do want to get rid of their powers, but mutantkind as a whole does not have the luxury of allowing the cure to exist.
I liked the premise of the story, hopefully they can try it again in some capacity with a director that's not shit.
Yeah, the scene immediately reminded me of the whole "we will cure you homosexuality" prospects of the (hopefully) past
I believe you'll find Johnny has six dicks.
To be fair, mutants are just an allegory for gay or otherwise non-heterosexual people. This scene makes a lot more sense when you factor this in.
Nah. It was more about disability. Prof X is in a wheelchair, Cyclops is blind, Beast or Nightcrawler disfigured, Wolverine is Canadian, etc.
Nah. It was more about disability Wolverine is Canadian
Nah. It's more of a general allegory encompassing all forms of minority groups and social outcasts. Different writers and editors choose which ones to highlight. For example, while the original Lee, Kirby 60s run--and Chris Claremont during the 70s--might have emphasized disabilities, through numerous stories like Days of Future Past, God Loves Man Kills, and New Mutants #45, Claremont during the 80s prioritized race and sexual orientation.
best laugh I've had all week
Won't somebody PLEASE find a cure for Canadianism, eh?
I remember the one Wolverine issue where he had to kill some teen whose specific mutation caused everyone around him to die. And Wolverine had to kill him and cover it up so that mutants wouldn't be hunted down.
I definitely get that's the point, but the analogy breaks down when applied to characters like Rogue. Like there may be something there about how you can feel guilty about who you are because it "hurts" other people, but there are real world ways to give those people support and love without needing to "cure" them. Rogue doesn't have that option, there's not a found family that can make her not kill people when she touches them. There's something innately and indisputably dangerous about her, which is not a great feel to apply to any marginalized group.
I see that meme a lot in autism communities, and it seems to fit very well. Every time it's posted, it gets controversial between people with low support needs claiming that there's nothing wrong with us, and people with higher support needs, claiming that it's not wrong to seek a cure.
So Rogue is like Dean Pelton in this?
Gay doesn't even begin to cover it.
This scene makes a lot more sense when you factor this in.
this scene ONLY makes sense when you factor that in.
then maybe don't have one that literally kills people she touches, or is that some fucked up reference to aids?
It works even better if you expand to include neurodiverse individuals as a group, with gay etc being a subset.
There is a huge spread in abilities and disabilities. What all share is being different from normal, and the reaction of "normal" people to that.
Some have massive benefits, with relatively small downsides akin to storm (e.g. well adapted autism or ADHD). Others have a mix akin to beast etc. Others are completely screwed over, akin to Rogue.
In real life, I know people who would slap you in the face for suggesting a cure. I also know others who would bite your hand off, if one was offered.
They're more meant to be an allegory for race, with the competing mutant organizations being the competing parts of the Civil Rights movement. Professor Xavier is MLK and Magneto is Malcolm X.
No they're not. They're mutants with superpowers. Not everything is a gay fable.
This is giving strong "I don't mind gays but they don't need to shove it in my face" energy
It's an allegory for the civil rights movement with prof. X as MLK Jr and Magneto as Malcolm X. In proper allegorical fashion this means it can be representative for any form of civil resistance by a repressed class, including the fight for gay rights.
i thought she just stole the powers of people she touched, and didn't kill them instantly with death touch?
in any case, she can steal the powers of mutants, which is a pretty good bonus ability to have on deck at any given time. tactically, to ensure the survival of future mutants that might get killed/cured, it would be better if, instead of getting cured, rogue just wore fucking gloves. you know, like what she does already. sort of the reason you might want mutants in the first place is cause like, sure, you get a random kid that gets born, and oh no, that kid kills everyone with super extremely toxic nuclear radiation in this super edgy comic where wolverine has to kill him, instead of just like putting the kid in a zero-waste nuclear power plant or whatever. or like a suit. you get that, but occasionally you also get somebody like forge, who can construct fucking insane technology, occasionally you get someone like prof. x, who has omega cranium dome, and can use the internet with his brain.
oh, but then, forge's technology is too dangerous, so we gotta cure him, and prof. x can read everyone's mind, so we gotta cure him so he doesn't see that i'm into freaky porn that will cause him to clutch his head and go "AUUUGHHHHH" and then faint, as is the fate of every psychic.
basically all that I'm saying is that this kind of mirrors exactly the same way that we look at neurodivergence or disability in real life. everyone's like, oh, we need to cure the neurodivergence with insane medication, or gene therapy, and the disabled people should be walking around on crazy robot legs! but then the robot legs were too heavy, and the anchor points that were directly mounted to your bones were super uncomfortable, and since people's body composition changes over time, the robot legs don't fit anymore, so you gotta buy another specialty production 50,000 dollar pair since it's not a mass production market, and, oop, since you're only moving around with robot legs and using 5% of your body in your thighs to work out, now you're fucked, instead of being jacked, like you would if you used a wheelchair. and oops, look like the robot legs have shit battery life.
and then realistically all of what people in wheelchairs wanted to be able to do was to like, use the bathroom effectively.
i'm not making the kind of blanket statement that, say, curing someone who's got such mental illness that they're nigh catatonic, is bad, they might thank you for that, right? but then i'd also say, you know, be careful at trying to "cure" everything, cause oftentimes the cure is some false solution, and oftentimes people really just needed you to have like an iota of empathy and understanding for their situation, so you could work out an actual solution for them, and what they need, and want. realistically you can "cure" a lot of things by just doing something really pretty simple and basically acknowledges the fact that some kind of people fucking exists at all. oh no! i have mental illness! maybe I should just be allowed to fucking exist, though, maybe i only have mental illness because we live in a society and i am the joker. bottom text.
Nah, there is nothing wrong with Rogue. She just lives in a world where her evolutionary trait is frowned upon by society. If she was allowed to embrace her true self and kill indiscriminately she would be much happier. Even more so than giving up her genetic advantage.
It might be lonely for a time but we all know she eventually runs into someone who can neutralize her power.
Edit: looking online Rogue also gains full control over her powers in some instances.
Gentle reminder there's a kid who got the power to blow himself up. Once. And he used it. Her perspective on the evolutionary trait is positive because she got a good roll of the dice while those around her got significantly less lucky. She is able to restrain her power unlike instant death touch girl, she's able to use it multiple times unlike Bailey Hoskins, and her big struggle is she can't go murder psycho? Again I really think her perspective is positive because she's got significantly more control and usability out of her mutation.
Ok but shouldn't she just end this argument by grabbing Storm? Iirc, not only would she kill her or at least shut her up, she'd also take on her powers and get to be the weather goddess for awhile. Be nice to see what someone with her emotional damage did with that. Would it be "You get a tornado! You get a tornado! Everyone gets a tornado!" Or "I'm just gonna send the rain to the starving drought-stricken children in Africa and let the sun shine rainbows on the Pride parade, I wanna bring joy for once in my fucked-up life! "
but like she clearly doesn't want to kill people, what you're saying is effectively that people should be entirely determined by their genetics and have no say in the matter, which is.. rather fucked up?
it gets extra terrible when we remember that a significant chunk of humanity is born with evolutionary traits specifically evolved to help hunter-gatherer tribes, i don't think people with ADHD and autism want to be compared to someone who kills everyone she touches..
She doesn't want to kill people because society has taught her that killing is wrong. There is no societal precedent for someone with her ability. If a shark was raised to believe it was a tuna it doesn't change the fact that it's a shark.
And I know for a fact that ADHD people don't appreciate the fact they have to medicate to be valued in their society.
Edit: but can't you just except that I am on magnetos side, professor x?
Need I remind you of this young man who had it worse than Rogue, and Wolverine had to kill him? This what you want to protect?
I specified rogue. You guys coming at me like I pissed in your pool or some shit.
