It’s tweetin time.

Damnit Lorna, let her know you’re free!

These were both part of favorite character lists.

What I love about the second tweet is the the EM fields portion. That’s Genosha. She’s aware of what Lorna went through in Genosha’s genocide and she’s talking about it. That kind of talking about it is important to that aspect of her history eventually getting acknowledged and used in the future.

Also, the plane. This tweet is showing how much the plane is becoming a facet of her character people recognize and associate with her.

Two tweets demonstrating even further how Brand was drawn and presented in a way that is entirely what you would expect for Lorna and not Brand at all.

People mistaking her for Lorna isn’t just some Lorna fans imagining things. When you have this much misunderstanding, it’s the source that’s the cause. The way she was drawn and what was drawn around her.

This continues the trend of people associating green hair with Lorna, and wanting to dye their hair to hers.

PolarisVanSamus remains cool as ever and we continue to follow each other and tweet to each other.

In this case, I’m using her tweet to highlight how meaningful Lorna is to her fans. When fans get tattoos of Lorna and choose her codename as their name for things like bowling, it’s cause those fans love the character and everything she has to offer.

I found this one interesting as she’s included alongside lots of well-known female characters, but also cause Lorna’s talked about as having a huge role in Marvel storylines.

I’d have to argue Marvel hasn’t treated her as such since about 2006/2007. But that’s a different matter from the perception of her. And here, I could say she’s perceived as having more worth than Marvel actually permits.

It’s kinda like when you go back and watch old TV shows on DVD/Blu-Ray/streaming, when your original experience of them was one new episode per week. You find story arcs that you felt lasted forever, in reality only lasted for about two or three episodes.

I show these cause they show how much people love good moments for Lorna when Marvel really gives her a chance, however fleeting and abbreviated those chances may be.

It also demonstrates in its own way that people notice when characters aren’t getting enough focus. Stuff like this only gets said when people have been lacking it and then see they’re now suddenly getting it. 

This was a series of tweets, and my screencap cuts off the whole string. So here’s a link to it.

I love three things specifically of his tweets above all else.

I love that he notes Lorna is the second female X-Men member and how long it took before the next one came along. That’s an extremely important aspect of her character history, and seeing other people who I’ve never talked to tweet about it shows knowledge of that fact is spreading. It’s a very important first step toward Lorna having that history acknowledged.

I love the Lorna is to Magneto what Jean is to Xavier comparison. It’s an excellent point I never realized until reading these tweets, and it gives more of a reason for Lorna and Jean to interact more than they have been (which is just about none since the early days). 

And lastly, I love a new term he used for Lorna – The Original Sixth.

Most people familiar with comics refer to the original X-Men as the O5 or Original Five. Referring to Lorna as the Original Sixth is a great reminder that she came right after. It also evokes some awesome imagery of the Power Rangers and its Green Ranger, complete with gold.

Polaris has a giant metal dragon that will eat you, is what I’m saying. This is canon. You can’t tell me it’s not, because Marvel doesn’t write her enough to refute it. Lorna has a dragon, deal with it nerds.
