I'm on a Xavier/Magneto roll...

[salinea]

inboots in another community was saying: "there are at least two known universes out there where magneto and rogue are star crossed lovers, one where reed richards has an affair with elektra natchios, but none (that i know of) where charles and erik are buddies and live long happy lives, where is the justice tbh?!!!! "

Which prompted me to say "oh, there is a what if when that's the case, although it's not very good."; and then promise to post it on S_D.

So there you go:









Gabrille Haller is really fucking awesome :D



I love how utterly OTT the top panel is about how AWESOME Xavier and Magneto would be if they worked together instead of against one another. Makes me think of John Hodgman's segment's intro on the Daily Show: Global Warning: SOLVED, Energy crisis: AVERTED, Superviruses: CURED, Sasquatches: CAPTURED, Xavier & Magneto: YOU'RE WELCOME.

Also Gabby marrying Erik does nothing against my Xavier/Magneto/Gabrielle OT3 :3

The rest of the issue is actually pretty boring, with some random Xavier recruiting people to the X-Men who recruited much earlier in 616 and random attacks of Sentinels and other stuff that perhaps I wouldn't find so confusing if I had read more 00's Claremont's writing. Erik only features in a couple more pages here, sporting some very unfortunate douchebro hairstyle (the redhead woman is Jean Grey, still in her coma from watching her childhood friend's dead while telepathically linked to her origin story):





And then Jean goes all Phoenix and saves the day; and it ends on the tackiest: "the end... or the beginning?" note ever.

In conclusion: Gabrielle is awesome.

UTTERLY!

Especially compared to his usual sense of style.

>_>;

well, when Jean goes Phoenix, Lilandra randomly features in the spread page, so I assume he at least has his space girlfriend to look forward to (I mean, as well as all the threesomes with Erik and Gabby).

oh god, i am glad I am not the only one who did not like Maggie's psuedo hippy/yuppie healer look...

[salinea]

I'd be surprised if you found someone who liked it.

Okay, no, I wouldn't be surprised, you can find people who like anything, but...

yeah. It's hideous.

Magneto with earrings just looks all KINDS of wrong... (Well, unless he was accessorising his a stylish backless evening gown)

Ouch. I like it.
Not in the context of Magneto, but as a look alone...

[salinea]

Oh, in some other context maybe; I'm talking about Magneto. Although it's trifecta of ponytail + earrings + goaty that makes it sooooo douchebro to me. You got any of those without the others, it probably wouldn't smack so much of... err too much.

Although I never like Mags with long hair, tbh.
