Oh, Marvel.

Seriously. Is Dom gonna have to smack a bitch?

The proposed line-up for the new 'X-Force' book is Wolverine, X-Mary-Sue-23, Rahne and Jimmy Proudstar.

The only thing I can figure is Rahne and Jimmy were drunk with Tab and 'Berto and lost a BET.

Oh, yeah. And Cable isn't dead.

Which. Seriously. Did anyone actually believe he was? Because if you did, how stupid do you feel now?

...since when is Warpath back to being the big bulky badass?

And Cable isn't dead.

With a last name like Summers, I figured that was impossible.

Oh, no one comes back from the dead in Marvel. Neeever.

Never mind readers. I don't understand how anyone IN the Marvel Universe can ever believe anyone is really dead anymore. Hasn't some clever person hung a lantern on that by now, and made it a psychological issue or something?

Except of course the character in question would then be vindicated when the person they're refusing to believe is dead turns out to be, in fact, not dead. So, erm, never mind. *eyeroll*

I swear, I run a Not Dead, Damn It! ficathon, the Marvelverse is off-limits. Because, seriously.

You know, I love Marvel sometimes. They're so very predictable.

Siryn is currently refusing to believe her father is dead... although that may end up being a case like you stated above.

Sam Guthrie actually said he wouldn't believe Nate was dead until he saw a body. (And actually, given the state of the MU and past precedent, even seeing a body doesn't mean jack anymore.)

*SNORTS*

BUGGER. This throws my Hepzibah and Jimmy = BFF thing out the window. BOO.

O....k....

That'll be Rahne out of the only main X-Book I really care about then.

Bah.

What is this -- Cable is ALIVE??? My world view is shattered! Summerses don't come back from the dead! Certainly not Nathan Charles Summers Dayspring Askani'son!

And one of the few that she fits well in.

I guess Wolverine doesn't have enough to do, huh?

And man, that's the stupidest team balance ever. Three hand-to-hand fighters? Just call it X-Cage-Fighting and be done with it, MARVEL.

No-one is ever dead in the X-verse!

Is Gambit still one of the Four Horsemen? I stopped reading the X-comics about a year ago, as I just got fed up, but a return of X-Force may make that a look at some of them again

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Since Wolverine and Wolverina were interesting?

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Yeah. At this point, despite Jean trying to stay dead, I pretty much figure all of 'em'll be back. Plus, anyone reading C&D should have known Fabes wouldn't do that to us.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

He could've been BFF until they came back to Earth?

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

I know. I think Marvel is taking lessons from the Cylons.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

She is. Marvel is planning a reshuffle, I assume.

Well, you know he's the most popular character, and everyone loves the annoying waste of space to bits and stuff.

But they all have claws! That makes it shiny! Or something. *snort*

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

No idea. I think he isn't. D'no. I stay far away from everything except Cable and Deadpool, these days.
