Rogue's Opinion on Wanda

[auggie18]

So, I used one of the preview panels from Uncanny Avengers to make a comic. Is that cool? I hope that's cool. I can take it down if it isn't.

I find it a little funny how Rogue went from being weirdly cool with Wanda at the end of Children's Crusade to being all face-punching here.


And man, am I getting sick of people punching Wanda in the face.

I've never really seen anyone on here call for Scott's death, but again, people seem to be all for Wanda being battered for what she did, despite the fact that a - she's been mentally fragile in the past, b - she lost her children, and c - I don't want to accept some piece of shit bolted-on retcon explanation from Heinberg that just makes yet another interesting female character look bad because all women go mad with power, right?

Regardless, even if I did accept section c up there, that still doesn't excuse the pretty fucking disgusting opinion some have which amounts to little more than 'WANDA DESERVES TO BE BEATEN'. Jesus Christ, we only just got beyond that fucking stigma of 'Hank Pym: WIFEBEATER' - we can do without the standard for Wanda being to get smacked in the face every single appearance.

Not all woman go mad with power, Storm and Rachel Grey say hey, hello, wassup.

It's canon, and it's what happened, I've think Scott's been character assassinated, but it's where the story took him, it happened.

Mass murderer > wife beater: THIS FEELS VERY AWKWARD FOR ME TO EVEN MENTION.

Basically, she did what she did, and is in actual fact, VERY responsible for the consequences. Her crime isn't being treated with the gravity it deserves. And for all the trouble she's caused - she gets punched twice? (in recent memory) MEH, this isn't disgusting, or gross, it simply happened.Im not gonna tell them no you're a horrible person if they punch her. I wouldn't tell them to. But between either characters, I'm sure as hell not condemning Rouge, she's seeing the mass murderer who created the past couple of years problems, point blank - she lost her temper. 100% understandable.

It's happened, I don't think it should happen with every character interaction, but when it does, it makes sense. I just want the woman to go on bloody trial. C'mon Captain America, where's that justice?!

Even if you don't want to accept the 'retcon' which isn't really a retcon since it's the first time it's been properly explained and not implied, she's still mentally ill and received NO HELP after the fact. Cops who have implied mental instabilities, get screened and if proven right, taken off the field - WHY, has this not applied to her? She shouldn't be around for anything unless she 100% needs to be there. She should be in an institution, getting better and less dangerous.

And damn. Swearing directly at me or not - it's acidic to any internet conversation, please don't.

Had enough of this discussion, but please don't tell me what I can and can't put into a statement. I'll swear if I want, and it wasn't directly at you.

Don't give me that bull, swear with your friends when its mutually accepted, I'm all for it, but were people on the internet, be decent. But whatever.
