oh thank God.
While I love what has been done with Ben and Alicia with their marriage and the introduction of Nikki and Jo, for the rest of the characters I have been pretty disappointed. I’m glad that Franklin and Valeria have been aged up, but they need to be used better and they need to make Franklin a mutant again. I hope we get a better writer with a better vision next!
All alone in his room… a little boy created a baby universe.
my fav mutie & FF member 😸
franklin should be shorter than valeria when they're all grown up. tbh. like he's almost an adult in canon rn n was shorter than wolverine im just saying. it's fun if he's got the same stocky build i always imagine sue & johnny with and valeria gets reed's awkward lankiness.
Completely agreed. All I want is Magnet family interactions. But Marvel seems to have forgotten about Luna completely. I mean, she wasn’t even in The Trial of Magneto (but I ignore that comic anyways lol)
I wish we got more of an exploration of Luna's powers and just her in general. For me personally, I'd make her an Inhuman/Mutant hybrid and put her with the Young Avengers. She could have such an interesting dynamic with her cousins Billy and Tommy plus I want to see her and Magneto interact
Ugh yeah. I talk about this in a meta on my sideblog, if you haven't seen it. (https://just-a-local-lunatic.tumblr.com/post/673398401110556672/the-potential-of-luna-maximoff) I just want to know what her character is like and how her powers affect that. She is such an interesting character.
But what I would give to have Luna interact with any member of Pietro's side of the family. She has literally never met Billy and Tommy and I'm mad about it. And yeah, Grandpa Magneto and Luna would be such a fun dynamic. I also want to see her with Lorna and Wanda. It would be really fun to have like a little comic one shot with Lorna and Wanda rescuing Luna or something with just the girls. I would be happy with almost anything at this point.
(also with Billy and Tommy technically Luna was born before them but when they were reincarnated they are now older and I think it would be a funny running joke for Luna to be like "as the older cousin here-")
Wanda Maximoff & Luna Maximoff.
I need more Aunty Wanda hanging out with Luna in my life, and if Marvel themselves won't deliver, I'll commission the wonderful @l1-b1 to depict them. I totally recommend checking out their art and getting some of your own! 🌹
i got this AMAZING comm from @doradeluna that i'm absolutely obsessing over. there needs to be more content of pietro and luna
forgot to mention that I’m annoyed by Franklin’s hair now being permanently black... I think it’s just stupid. “It’s just how I feel, mom, I’m an emo now and forever.” But more than that it took away a core part of his character design and I don’t like it personally. It think it would have been fun to see him stop dying it at some point as a character development thing, but again nooo
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
THERE WAS NEW LUNA CONTENT AND I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT
