So are Lorna Dane fans more the kind of person that would talk like "she is really psychologically complex and powerful, but mishandled constantly" or "I like green"?

Eh, not really.
She is likeable when written well (i. e. PADs X-Factor), but she is not carrying a book on her own.
>but mishandled constantly
Like most X-men, or marvel characters for that matter.
>I like green
Yes, i like green hair a lot.

She's a moe type woobie who the universe constantly shits on that fans want to protect.

Unfortunately psycho Lorna fans don’t like PAD X-Factor Polaris. For them, Lorna began with Chuck Austen’s run….which is a scary notion.


Lorna should still guest in her “sister’s” sorcerer supreme ongoing comic.

Wanda for duration.

"Fan" is a stronger word than I'd use, but she's hot, I like some of her costumes, and she used to be an unambiguously good person. For a heroine in a team book, that's enough going for her over a lot of other characters.

Just like her not-sister, connecting Lorna to Magneto and writers in the 2000s making her crazy have been the ruination of her, as those two things define her in the minds of most readers now, and she's stuck in a corner of Marvel where most writers and editors have no real interest in her at all, the most positive role they're willing to give her is "Havok's girlfriend", and even that's usually off the table since Alex because the X-office's whipping boy. I didn't think Lorna would ever be able to come back from that Brood stunt, but it turns out Marvel's solution was to just not mention it again.

Stumbling along the sand, barely alive as I ate and drank whatever refuse escaped the Sentinel's plasma-hot gaze as my flesh was chewed by the clouds of black flies come to feats on the carrion heaps that had once been a nation. Other than that it as kinda nice, refreshing and breezy. The moment you drop a deuce in the rolling surf you will instantly understand why the Indians are all about it. Seriously, why do you think I have a humidifier and fan right in front of my toilet?
Lorna should be a crazy bitch whose life is worse off for being a superhero but infinitely more interesting because of it.

During the whole Krakoa climax she led an army brood to attack the enemy violently feeding them to an squad of ravenous flesh eating monsters. You know, like a super hero.

I wonder if they’re character assassinating all of the likable heroes specifically so that the writers have reason to shove in more diverse and hip OCs to replace them with.

Orchis had conquered the Earth and had secretly been used by an AI who had used Orchis so it could destroy the Earth. She used a group of Brood controlled by Broo to attack Dr Statis (Sinister clone).

It isn't "But they were teh meanie racist". Orchis had secretly implanted problems into the medicine, triggered it, killing a bunch of humans and blaming mutants. Orchis controlled a kill switch to kill a bunch of humans too.

It was a made up villain doing fictional things to fictional people in a way that let the writers live out their psychotic murder fantasy. Fun fact, when people attack a dumb story, even if that story has a dumb reason, the point people are arguing is that this isn't a story they should have told in the first place.

It really wasn't a psychotic murder fantasy. I am not defending the story (or the Krakoa era). My issue is the context and claims in the post I replied to were wrong. If you want to criticise something, at least get the basic information right in your criticism. Otherwise you just feel like an outrage tourist using half remembered wiki summaries to shitpost.

The pretending to be family will always be retarded, but Lorna might get treated better in Wanda's book than in the X-books. Sounds like the supporting cast will all be mystics though.

I didn't miss the point, I understood it fine. Nothing I said was justifying it. It simply wasn't a case of "But they were teh meanie racist". That statement was wrong. It is really hard to talk about things or rightly criticise them when people quite clearly don't even know what happened. Shit on the era all you want, I sure can, but at least have something to say about it that isn't wrong.

The Brood shit wasn't a "psychotic murder fantasy," either, it was just meant to be some big bullshit blockbuster action callback moment with the station appearing and Polaris unleashing the Brood (with a "To me..." line) fucking up Stasis/Orchis in orbit. The whole Brood arc in that part of Krakoa X-Men WAS shit. Broo lost control of them for a time because of Nightmare and Cyclops wanted to wipe them out for good because they nearly killed his dad. Then he had a pathetic argument with Jean over it, because she thought genociding the Brood was wrong. The whole pay off of this shit was meant to be, "Oh but the Brood helped them defeat Orchis," in that le epic action blockbuster moment of Stasis/Orchis underestimating them.

For me the problem is these moments are just hollow as shit, they don't work as big epic action moments or call backs because none of the drama was interesting and all they do is exist as momentary bullshit. They aren't "psychotic murder fantasies," because the creators don't really think about them in those terms or explore themes like that in these books. This moment wasn't some big character ruining moment, it just straight up represents the multiplication effect of modern comics needing to up the stakes with such shit.

Outside of Eric being a dumbass and Vision going straw logician in Wonder Man, it wasn't much of an example of them being bad. Even the disagreement over executing the SI for killing many billions is in under the Avengers jurisdiction was engineered by SI as part of a further plan.
>>
>>151326030
This is how characters get ruined. People make a retarded story and then anons constantly meme those moments until those moments are the only things people remember.

Let's assume this is true. Let's say you're correct and that was the intention. That's even more messed! That shows that they don't actually understand what any of they're doing really means. So let me meet you half way and amend my statement to SOCIOPATHS MURDER FANTASY.

That's my point. This is more about how the general tone of action has changed in comics in general and the kind of superheroics you're thinking of haven't been the case for 30+ years at this point.

They aren't sociopaths. Killing robots, Mr Sinister and people who want to destroy the Earth isn't a murder fantasy.
