Okay but the mutant detection software and tech has always wo— Ugh, Oh my fucking god. I hate them so much for this bullshit.

Ooohhh my fucking christ. If they’re going to INSIST on them not having Magneto for a father? WHY DO THEY NEED TO FIND THEIR “REAL” PARENTS AT ALL? They’re both like, in their 40′s at this point. If this STUPID BULLSHIT STORY has to happen, can it at least be about them learning and growing as individuals, or… no? No? That would fall under “Character development”? So no? Got it. Whatever.

Eat a dick, Marvel.

Does Marvel think Pietro and Wanda searching for their parents is compelling story telling?

There’s a reason people were glad that Magneto was the father for a long time it’s because he was a good character and it was a interesting relationship unlike the shitty characters before him they pulled out of their ass to be built for the sake of that story and nothing else.

It’s Brevoort and Remender, backed by Disney because of the film rights spat with Fox. They’re dicks. They’re all dicks. It’s why I’m not watching any Marvel films and actually going out of my way to see Fox films now. Also why the only Marvel comic books I’m willing to buy are X-books and ones with Polaris in them. Marvel doesn’t deserve my money as long as they’re pulling this, and Marvel has demonstrated Fox deserves it more.

Marvel: Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are no longer related to Magneto
Me: I recognise that the council has made a decision, but given that it’s a stupid ass decision, I have elected to ignore it.

This is never not worth reblogging.

Sometimes, I feel terrible for complaining about Marvel, and especially calling out Brevoort and Remender for things they’ve said and done. Story-wise, Polaris has had a lot of good things done for her, from coming back to Earth and confirming her as a mutant and Magneto’s daughter, to having her origin story told after 40 years and getting to lead her own team on All-New X-Factor.

But then I remember why I’m complaining and push onward. 

I remember Lorna as a nameless cameo in Avengers vs X-Men, one that Magneto ignores getting mind-controlled into submission by Emma Frost despite Magneto having just gone out into space specifically to rescue Lorna in X-Men Legacy’s Five Miles South of the Universe.

I remember that Lorna having her origin story told after such a long time got next to no promotion; the only thing Marvel did to promote it was a short piece on Marvel.com that quickly disappeared.

I remember that All-New X-Factor got no promotion out of Marvel aside from when it was announced, and they went so far as to withhold the cover for All-New X-Factor #14, the issue where Lorna and Wanda spent time together as sisters, until a week before the issue’s release when it was too late for casual fans to preorder a copy of the issue.

I remember Marvel quickly followed this up by putting out an Axis variant cover pairing Enchantress and Scarlet Witch that was very clearly designed to make Enchantress look like Lorna. They even went so far as to color Wanda’s hair red and Enchantress’ green.

I’m extremely grateful for the good stuff Marvel’s done for Lorna, but I can’t keep quiet when books get canceled or sell poorly, or Lorna’s excluded from events she should be taking part in, just because people at Marvel don’t like or respect her enough to promote anything involving her, or because they’re in the middle of some pissing match with Fox over film rights.

If this sounds paranoid, well, there’s an easy way to disprove what I’m saying. All they need to do is use her in events where she has reason to be involved (e.g. Axis since it was on Genosha and heavily involved her family) and actually promote books she’s on every once in a while (e.g. All-New X-Factor). That’s really all it takes. Stuff like the Axis variant cover last year while ANXF #14 got absolutely no promotion only proves me right and makes me more likely to complain.

This’ll probably be the last time I rant about this for… at least a week, unless something new happens that’s bad.

Still love the idea of Lorna creating her costume with her powers. 🙂 She’s one of the rare characters whose powers actually lend themselves to that kind of use, and it’s a real shame we’ve rarely seen it happen with Lorna canonically.
