The Warrens just held off a HYDRA attack on Avengers Tower long enough for the team to return and mop up the encounter.



Oh Hank is SOOOO busted.



Called it.



I admit, even if them as a couple confuses me, this is the exact vibe I see around Kitty and Bobby. (:



I'm sorry, did... did someone just resolve a superhero conflict by being polite and thinking about what they were doing?

...I don't know where I am.

Also, skinny young Scott trying to walk with authority is adorable. :3

Really liked this sequence. It was like Bendis saying "We've seen this sequence a million times, let's have Kitty and Bobby make fun of it.". Took something that could've been really generic and boring and made it fun.

Bendis has been really killing it on the X-men, now if only he could get Emma's dialogue right.

The thing is, Emma is a character so many people get wrong anyway. A lot of them seem to think it's just snark with zero substance and a bunch of posh words and 'dear', 'darling' and other bits tacked on. Very few have got her current characterisation as right as Morrison or Whedon have, and I say that not even liking Whedon.

After the second issue of Uncanny, I'd say Bendis definitely gets Emma--she's just in a place where she's really out of her element and is finding it difficult to be her usual poshy self.

Always did find it hilarious yet somehow in-character that Emma speaks in a faux-posh Brit when she was born in Boston.

Which is *really* odd, because honestly, could we take *anyone* seriously if they faked an accent in real life?

They should either make her British in actuality, or get her to drop the accent.

*sigh*

This has been done a million times, but here goes.

Emma is from a wealthy family from the Boston area. Her family owns a mansion in Newport.

Wealthy old money Boston families with Newport mansion-owning have something called a "Boston Brahman" accent, which is basically a "refined" Boston-accent + British posh slang.

Similar to JFK, that's the intention for what Emma is supposed to sound like. The only person who writes her as British is Warren Ellis, and that's because (as a Brit) he obviously doesn't understand how New England regional sub-accents work.

...Now I'm picturing Emma talking with all the "ahs" that JFK had in his speech, and it's kinda hilarious.

I wouldn't say the 'only' person who writes her as 'British' is Ellis, because I've seen a good handful of other writers do largely the same things he did with the character. I also wouldn't expect that every other writer than him would know the specifics of New England accents, frankly.

Bendis does more for the couple than, well, anything I'd seen so far. But it's not exactly sexual tension either.

Friendship-chemistry is better than some of the other relationships I've seen in comics.

And I could see the appeal of a low-drama relationship to X-men.

It's funny, while I didn't hate it before, I didn't quite get why Aaron put Kitty and Bobby together until #24--they were both the youngest members of their generation.

Also, slightly OT--what is your icon doing to that poor bunny? O_O

Zatanna!

yeah. he is...

i still don't like the idea that they might replace our scott with him. i mean, he wants to make things up? but studying what happened and going through it are two diffferent things... i am torn... these young x-men look on and see all that has gone bad... and think... well i never would have done that. i could do it beter, i am more pure... except, it's the pain, it's the experience that make people who they are. the good and the bad. I hope Jean is at least looking at the multiple perspectives...

yeah i still hate how we got here.... i still hate that the dialogue that Kitty and Bobby are spouting is essentially correct... the Avengers think of the x-men as children that need to be watched... umm what about THIER KIDS?!?!?! What about The Fantastic Four? do they need to be watched?

ugh i am sorry... i am still so bitter...

"i still hate that the dialogue that Kitty and Bobby are spouting is essentially correct..."

See, that was the part that made me laugh the most. :D

And yeah, the Avengers don't have THAT much of a leg to stand on, but considering what Hank did bringing the O5 to the present, he has just about as much as they do.

Yeah did anyone else see what Jean did to Angel at the end of this issue?

Downright cruel. And all the other X-Men let it happen... so the lines of morality between Scott's X-Men and Logan's X-men just became almost non-existant.

Young!Warren very understandably freaked, and tried to use the Time Cube to return to the past. Jean responded by either mindwiping him so he'd forget or mind controlling him to calm him down (it isn't clear), and when called on it, she replied that she can read their minds and is in control of the situation.

You read the issue? If not

Spoilers.



Angel was in tears at finding out what happens to him, and demanded he go back to his home time, the expected debate happens, and he's getting really emotional. Then he isn't. Jean went into his mind and shut him down, so now he's pleasant again.

The reason this angers me so much is that it's all spiralling out of control so much that the present adults *need* to send these kids back home, yet they're just all really giddy at the idea of Scott seeing his past self. They're losing the legs they have to stand on.

And Jean got really dark real quick... though in retrospect, a younger more immature Jean would do something like this. I say that because I remember when adult Jean went on a rampage through Emma's mind.

That being said, I really love where this is going.

Uh oh... wasn't Jean doing something almost exactly like that to Kitty Pryde's parents when the school was first recruiting her one of the early warning signs that she was about to go off the deep end?

Yah, I hope so too, but their immediate reactions was just *so* soft, that I'm losing hope that Angel will get his mind back very soon.

Though I'm pretty sure when he does get it back he won't stick around.

That's how I'm looking at it--I mean, to the O5, this is just Jeanie, the girl who they all loved and were kinda crushing on. Now, along with all the other crazy things going on around them, she's rapidly starting to change.

I haven't loved everything Bendis is doing with this title, but I am loving his take on Kitty. I haven't seen her this snarky funny, witty and seemingly happy since Ellis era Excalibur.

Wait, no fight?

Nothing makes sense anymore.

A telepath "hero" doing something bad to a friend with her power? Okay, that makes more sense. (Seriously, writers always seem to make telepaths do bad things with their powers even if they are ostensibly heroes).
