it's easy to talk about the silver age as a simpler happier time for the x-men but https://images.plurk.com/NNXXQQNrx1wxFqgCpYpre.png

化けの花

I love that she forgot she has a superpower
snowbogan
honestly, that happens every time kirby draws jean doing something
snowbogan
stan: okay but a dude has to tell her to do it
化けの花
like 90% of silver age jean's whole character is just "girl"
化けの花
thanks...stan...

it does get better when roy thomas takes over

^^^sentences that should not be true AND YET
snowbogan
AND YET
snowbogan
arnold drake, too, his was probably the best
snowbogan
you can look at that and go "okay, i see where claremont is coming from"
snowbogan
huh, i forgot roy thomas came back for a hot second after drake, and jean remains pretty badass in that
snowbogan
claremont explicitly talks about a scene from issue 63 when discussing his characterisation of jean

"join me, marvel girl!" "how about fuck you"

(this comic also contains erik saying "fast, girl, but not as fast as my portable jet pack!")

I'd ask why magneto needs a portable jet pack, but I think I already know the answer
snowbogan
~style
snowbogan
but also the machine he built is draining his magnetism
snowbogan
to make mutates? i think?
snowbogan
magnetism could do basically anything in the silver age
化けの花
i mean even in the bronze age it could
化けの花
never forget the circus caravan flying through lava in a magnetic bubble
snowbogan
fair
6LilacMimeLions
i maintain magneto is a reality-warper who only thinks he has magnetic powers
6LilacMimeLions
and no one's told him otherwise because that would be worse
snowbogan
charles: holy shi -
snowbogan
charles: nope
snowbogan
(you know hickman if you had to make SOMEONE warp reality for your hijinks........)
化けの花
and i mean... i know a parent's mutant power isnt meant to have anything to do with the kid's (i know. ok. i know) but
6LilacMimeLions
erik: the earth's magnetic field regenerated me
hank: that's not--
charles: SHUT
化けの花
gestures at erik and wanda and billy...
化けの花
lorna's out here as the one w actual magnetic powers
snowbogan
claremont did draw that line explicitly in excalibur
snowbogan
and, you know, also had erik making fuckin wormholes
6LilacMimeLions
canon: we can't predict mutations based on the parents'
every single writer who's written second-gen mutant kids: sounds fake
化けの花
including claremont.
snowbogan
starting with claremont
snowbogan
WE LEARNED IT FROM YOU, CHRIS
snowbogan
i'm editing these panels for tumblr and i just. love that erik made this machine suit thing and then stuck his fuckin cape on it
snowbogan
oops i'm rereading the entire interview now
snowbogan
claremont talking about how, hey, maybe we should treat female characters as people and heroes foremost, how amazing and badass his mom was, the whole creative process behind comics which is always fascinating, what a bastard charles actually is
