Franklin, Waking Up On Christmas Morning In His Spider-man Pajamas And Running Downstairs With His Cat

Luna's YA nickname would definitely be either Lulu or Nana depending on the person. For the girls, she's Lulu. David and Billy call her Luna. Tommy and Teddie call her Nana. Nate calls her Blondie.

Okay, these are wonderful, but I feel like someone has to call her "Loony"...but I'm not sure who... Maybe Tommy?

interesting that this little plot point has popped back up...

I am a big subscriber to the “Charles and Erik took that knowledge from Reed and used it for themselves to mask Franklin’s X-Gene and manipulate him into thinking he’s not actually a mutant because he was a threat to them” theory, so this is very interesting indeed...

I hope we see this brought up again soon. And of course I hope that Franklin is still a mutant because it’s really stupid that he’s not and takes away from his character :)

Is that sleeping girl supposed to be Luna?? It feels so random putting an unknown character in between Monet and Tommy, but it makes no sense for Luna to be in Budapest... Or am I just crazy and see a girl in pink with blonde hair and immediately assume it's my girl?

Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver #1 (2024)

So I just read Fantastic Four (2018) #45. And wow. I was already ready to be disappointed, but it just sucks so bad.

First, the whole Reckoning War storyline was terrible (which I was expecting it to be since it’s Dan Slott). Especially for what it did to Reed. Reed was just allowing himself to act like a terrible human being since he thought he was going to die. He did and said terrible things. And now that’s all just going to be swept under the rug and ignored? Like is Reed going to face no consequences for his actions? But more than that I’m so tried of Reed being written like a terrible human being. Yes, Reed has a hard time with empathy and emotions sometimes, but that doesn’t mean he’s a literal sociopath. There are ways to write Reed that have him still come off as a likeable character. See Jonathan Hickman’s FF run. (My favourite run.) I feel like Reed hasn’t been himself for years and it just makes me so sad.

Second, the whole thing with Johnny’s increased powers is so annoying and I’m tired of it. I mean, Johnny has not been written well for a while and this has just turned him into a whiny hothead. (Which he sometimes is, but that’s ignoring all the character growth he’s had over the years.) And now he’s gone off to live with Sky... *long sigh* I never really liked her as a girlfriend to Johnny. She’s a fine character on her own, but I really hope they don’t get back together...

Third, the thing that is making me the most annoyed. Franklin. I had hopes for Franklin. I did. But now it looks like his powers have returned. And there was basically no point to taking them away because he has learned no lesson from losing them. I have said in previous posts that I hoped that Franklin would learn that even without his powers he can live his life and be a hero, but if he has really gotten them back, there has been no development. Franklin has continually been in the same grumpy mindset of “I used to be a god” and nothing has changed. I wanted them to commit to his powers being gone and have him learn other ways to help the FF. But no. Because we can’t have nice things. And now Franklin is still a bratty kid with a God complex that he never used to have. And he’s still not a mutant again (which is a whole other post).

In conclusion, I am tried. T I R E D 

I have good news. He’s leaving the Fantastic Four soon. So that’s something. 

Can someone tell me what Dan Slott knows to continued to be employed by Marvel? I mean, they even put a hit piece out on him back in 2020 and yet he's still there.

we're going insane tonight (aka thinking about my little characters)

The moon seems like such a lonely place to be with only the stars to keep you company

Do you know what the Valeria Richards / Bentley-23 relationship is? Is it’s Calvin and Susie from Calvin and Hobbes. It’s as simple as that.
