yeah but still, introducting Archangel, Cable, and Apocalypse, as well as a LONG run on New Mutants
Yes, yes! I'm the one who told you Liu wasn't exactly the first important female writer on X-Ment titles :p

Date: 2012-01-04 11:24 pm (UTC)i disagree about the stripperific costumes as it was equal opportuunity stripperificism. (again i am amazed Alex's costume stayed on at all.... he had ahem... ALOT of... things... covered by so little ;D
i don't necissarily agree with all your opinions, like Illyana (who is also one of my favorite characters) i think that in ultimately sacrificing her self she DID in fact prove she was redeemable. but thats a whole other argument (also now they seem to be reverseing that in that Illyana OWNS who and what she is now).
while i don't think the sexism was blatant or intentional, i do see where it would be... problematic. Madelyn's ending was... sloppy. and i dont like that Illyana was depowered. But yeah like you said, overall it was an intruiging story that had problematic elements when read together.

Date: 2012-01-04 11:40 pm (UTC)Yeah, I thought the arc was good on a storytelling pov, but it is problematic.
The thing with Illyana isn't simple, but I stand by what I say, especially when you start comparing with other characters, depending of their gender. I have a very visceral reaction to it.
i would also like to note that the elements themselves were great, power, corruption, betrayal (all very greek).
Oh, I agree with all of that :D wouldn't have made the Medea comparison if it didn't feel Greek XD (although my baseline for Medea is Seneca's play).
