An issue of this comic came out today that includes Polaris as part of X-Factor. These are my thoughts. I’m not bothering to go very in-depth this time. Also, fair warning, I’m biased and not very positive about things here. Marvel can be thanked for that.
About Quicksilver, he’s a part of X-Factor in 90s cartoon so it’s clearly editorial reason that this issue has lack of him. And it’s no wonder because Marvel want to keep him being just a other characters’ (especially Wanda’s) stepping stone.
Strange, my notifications decided not to tell me you reblogged this post. Guess I’ll have to keep a closer eye on my posts outside the notifications.
I definitely get that feeling about Marvel’s attitude toward Pietro too. I think because Pietro is seen as more promoted and better handled by Fox than Marvel in the MCU, Marvel decided to avoid making much use of him. He’s still getting a lot more use than Lorna given that he’s on Uncanny Avengers and all, but it’s a far cry from what could be with him.
As much as I loved Lorna’s depiction in Secret Wars: House of M, I also acknowledge Pietro was needlessly screwed over there. I kept expecting that we’d find out Pietro was playing Namor both to show his own cunning to his father and to revive that warrior spirit that Magneto kept yearning for. Instead, we got “Pietro is a power-hungry spoiled kid because reasons.”
