At this rate omega level powers are going to be the norm, if they aren’t already. Marvel has been guilty of recycling ideas at a higher rate than usual, most x-comics aren’t fun anymore and aren’t well written at this point in time. Jean Grey dies, Scott Summers is besides himself with at least 1 full splash page with him on his knees screaming “Jean!!!” Mr Sinister is back again in another unclever disguise…honestly this was all old hat in the 90s. Can’t wait to see the new MCU x-men consisting of all the X-men who have been looked over the last 25 years…Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast, Professor X, Wolverine, Magneto, Mystique, Wolverine…finally a new take 🙄

Is it really so shocking Luke would ultimately follow the path of self-imposed exile like both Obi-Wan and Yoda? The Last Jedi has its problems but the characterization of Luke is not one of them. As far as him being grumpy, listen to how he speak in the film…who does he sound like? He sounds like Han. He sounds like the guy that slapped his hand away in A New Hope when he points to the dashboard and says ,”what’s that flashing?” Nobody considers Han may have been a bigger influence on Luke than either Obi-Wan or Yoda. That he processes his death, realizing his self-imposed exile ensures he’ll never see him again.

well you got #1 right. I get you’re going for a more modern slant but some of it is way more pop than punk…if that’s the criteria how about the GoGos? Bad Religion, Dag Nasty X-Ray Spex, Stiff Little Fingers?

You’re right. It was ridiculous at best, but very much a product of its time. Comics circa 1990-1993 were defined by testosterone-laden sensibilities: women in skimpy outfits, men with long hair ( before this era there was Thor, and then Longshot and that was it) big armor, big belts and bigger guns ( yeah, it was a bit on the nose even then). The missed opportunity was not giving Magento the same treatment and letting his sack hang out in mesh adamantium.
