>>150954034Kek, byebye Maggie.
>>150954452HE'S GOT AURA
>>150954984I shall practically demonstrate my prototype>>150955021So it's gone wrong live on television.Trask Jr. must of been real high to have missed how fast it went wrong in-fiction.
>Wanda and Pietro leave>instantly gets boring
>>150959379Introducing two members of a villain team who weren't villains and clearly were supposed to turn good (the only question was how soon) was pretty unusual.I sometimes think the reason for it was that they didn't have enough places to introduce new heroes, so they took these characters who were obviously intended to be new heroes, like their Flash equivalent and their Green Arrow equivalent, and introduced them as antagonists. Probably gets them noticed more than "introducing our new hero, Quicksilver and/or Hawkeye."
I'm getting deja vu from a decade ago
>>150957682Thanks OP
>>150953872ehstill better than 99% of the threads up right now
>>150953652Based, thanks OP. There's something about these silver age comics that's really comfy.
Question is this book really called "Uncanny X-Men" or just "X-Men"?
>>150953990>yandere Jean
>>150954190I like how his face gets red when he gets really pissed off.
>>150954225>Charles Xavier, mutant>Power: cheating at everything
>>150954807Why did he make Johnny forget about it though?
>>150958371At least he's got Toad to make him company.
>>150955008Trask didn't waste any time to make himself look like a fool.
>>150956112This goes hard.
>>150956632>Mutant SlavesNot really mutant friendly, Maggie.
>>150953652thanks anon
>>150953887cute feet
>>150964061At this point, just "X-Men."They retitled it "Uncanny X-Men" for the 1975 reboot, and then in 1991 they launched a different book called just "X-Men," retroactively making this whole book referred to as "Uncanny X-Men."
>>150966238Oh.
>>150953652When will be the next storytime?
>>150967266Sorry, it was actually issue #114 where they started using the "Uncanny X-Men" tag. Before that the title of the reboot was "The All-New, All-Different" X-Men.
>>150954304I always forget the fact Professor X and Juggernaut fought in Korea.
>>150967700It changes depending the adaptation but yeah that's the "original origin".
>>150967438Next time.
>>150967809I’ve always wished they would just give up on updating the timeline and just do a thing where time passes more slowly for characters than for events.Hand waving that, say, the Fantastic Four got together in 1961 but have only lived a few years since then makes more sense to me than being told the things we read about, like characters fighting in Korea and Vietnam, didn’t actually happen. Why shouldn’t Professor X have only aged a few years since Korea? Either way the timeline doesn’t make literal sense.Ah well, I should save it for my superhero comic pitch based on “Brigadoon.”
>>150969834Probably because of their inability to move over certain characters but keeping the same established(with retcons) continuity for several decades, even DC sort of laughs at itself pointing Jay Garrick is over 100 years old when he shows up in the present.
>>150969834ive always thought the best approach is to not have real life current events and people in your comicsif you want to reference a real life event make an analogue that the heroes can react to, this allows the stories to be more timeless and the passage of time more nebulouspop culture references is hack writing most of the time anyways
This book is so clunky, and I dislike every character.
>>150954078Yay Juggernaut!
>>150971467Why?
>>150967438Sooner than you think...
>>150956500I love hall of heads covers
>>150956579So they just completely buy in to whole "I am power!" thing.I don't think Warren had anything to worry about with his folks.
>>150969940Yeah, but at least with Jay they can go "blah blah Speed Force blah blah blah" and handwave it.
>>150973728I guess.
Spoiler: This franchise never gets good.
>>150975717It has its moments.
>>150955431Look at the size of that chair!
>>150955657I like how they say "unhuman" instead of "inhuman".
>>150955759What the hell was Jean even attempting to do?
>>150953652when was the last time a mega storytime happened?unsounded this yeari think invincible previously?
>>150956431Based doctor
>>150953652Are you really Gwenschizo? This is your redemption arc. Instead of spamming threads and insulting others because they don't like Gwen, you're doing somethings constructive and objectively making this board better by doing a proper storytime so anons can read them and share their opinions. Thanks
>>150960320Marvel already had Namor and early Hulk as anti-hero characters, and Wanda and Pietro as a 'anti-villains' was a great high-concept which a lot of people seem to have noted was the single most interesting and compelling thing about early X-Men, they're inherently good people who everyone can tell should obviously be heroes, but bad luck and bad circumstances have trapped them on a villain team and they can't get out until the Brotherhood eventually implodes. Stan may have been testing the waters for doing something with them outside of X-Men when he had them appear in a Strange Tales issue, trying to escape the Brotherhood and getting into a classic Marvel Misunderstanding Battle with the Human Torch and the Thing.In retrospect this early period of the twins' career caused two problems for them. Firstly, the "nobody reads pre-Claremont X-Men anymore" issue has led to a lot of people, even some Marvel writers, mistakenly thinking Wanda and Pietro were actual evil villains "because they were in the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants", and secondly, that they debut here ended up making them held under the X-Men rights for adaptations, over Avengers, where they were more important and spent a lot more time. If they had just one earlier appearance, this would've been avoided, and for some reason X-Men cartoons keep feeling like they absolutely need to include the twins, but usually doing completely OOC versions of them that have just given casuals completely wrong impressions of who they are.
>>150953656Bump
>>150976392She was attempting to levitate.
>>150964313Even though Jean and Scott were stuck in the "in love with each other but unaware how the other feels" phase for years, Jean was really benefitting from being the only girl on the team, and all the attention she was getting from everyone else being horny for her, and she really didn't want any competition here. Between this and one of the other early issues, it reads like Jean thinks Wanda mogs her and she wouldn't be able to measure up.
>>150953652you must be fucking kidding me
>>150957294is not that bad, just walls of text.
>>150975717>Stan Lee? Repetitive and bad>Claremont? Gay and bad>90s? Edgy and bad>Morrison? Bad>Austen? Bad>Utopia? Bad>Bendis? Bad>Krakoa? BadDamn, they really suck
>>150975749Too few and far between to be this big of a franchise. It can only happen in comics.
>>150983202I guess the beginning was fine considering the silver age cheese as time went on it got too convoluted and sort of missed what was the point of even having a team of mutants.
