Helllllo mun,

If I remember AoA correctly,

Mystique raised Nightcrawler as a single mother from birth

An unnamed biological father was mentioned for him there

Destiny was in Avalon for a very long and she adopted Doug Ramsey as her son there

Nightcrawler never met Destiny before

As for the reason why Nightcrawler and Mystique don't have the best relationship in AoA either (again this is from memory),

One day, Nightcrawler found out that for every mutant they've helped reach the safety of Avalon (and this way no longer had to live in the dangerous world of AoA), Mystique made them pay the high price for the safe travel by taking all their belongings so when they moved to Avalon they had absolutely nothing to call their own. She then sold off everything they had for weaponry, supplies, ...

Basically, she hid the trip to Heaven behind a pay wall for war refugees including the struggling families

Nightcrawler didn't like that

Hi nonny

If I remember the panels correctly, I think he tried to accept that but the fall out was on the way. Like I could be wrong but I think he said how his mother had the right to make money to survive but again I could be wrong and even if he tried...eventually...the fall out was immediate.

Kurt Darkholme who is this edgy version of Kurt can't forgive what Mystique did and he is supposed to be the edgy version but now he is the more racional one. He is better than Kurt Wagner.

Oh yeah I remember that part...Destiny adopted Doug and never met Kurt D. Never was interested in meeting him. I do think Kurt D meet Doug briefly.

Either way Kurt D is the right Kurt here.

My Thoughts on Movie Bobby Drake (aka Iceman)

It’s important to understand I love ALL Bobby Drake interpretations equally (except for AOA Bobby… but like… if there was an X-men I’d wanna die to it’s definitely Nightcrawler, so good on him)

But I do enjoy a lot of what movie Bobby (the OG X-men trilogy… plus the DOFP movie… I guess) brings to the table in terms of Bobby’s characterization.

Is this my nostalgia bias talking from watching the films and having a childhood crush on Shawn Ashmore?

Yes. Yes it is. (and he is still very handsome in my eyes)

Some of the BEST stuff from comic Bobby in my eyes is when he’s able to drop his “class clown/comic relief” side, and actually get very serious and emotional. (I adore his humorous side, but sometimes it does get a bit cringy)

Movie Bobby kinda does this, by having him almost drop the jokester aspect of his character entirely, say for a few small quips.

Problem is, at face value, movie Bobby is kinda…. bland. Outside of the “coming out” scene in X2 and mostly just the scenes with him and Pyro in X2 and Last Stand, there’s not a whole lot of depth to him, which I mostly blame on the romance & later love triangle between Rogue and Kitty. (Not that i dislike those characters, just that their romance with Bobby feels… forced if not cliche and boring)

I feel if Bobby had more time to develop his character past his romances, he’d be so much fun in the movies. Especially if they went further into his relationship with Pyro, and how their ideals contrast each other (in a similar fashion to Xavier and Erik, which Pyro & Bobby parallel PERFECTLY)

This would DEFINITELY be more enriching if we got a closer dynamic between Bobby and Warren in the 3rd film. Not only because they’re best friends in the comics, but because Warren is technically one of Bobby’s first real male crushes.

Imagine if John resents Bobby because he feels as if Bobby just replaced him with Warren? That’d be amazing!

Not only that, but what if we add a bit of contention between Bobby and Warren? Let’s say Warren is envious of mutants like Bobby, as he can hide his mutation, but Warren can’t. They have a heated argument, but this eventually pushes Bobby to use his ice form more, accepting that side of him.

All of this, and then add a bit more of Comic Bobby’s funnier personality into the mix, make it slightly more snarky and sarcastic, and still keep a bit of Movie Bobby’s personality (a split 50/50)

I think that would be a perfect change to Bobby in the movies, and his story as a whole.

Side Note: But going back to X2, Shawn Ashmore captures this absolutely fantastic sad look in his eyes when his mom asks “have you tried, not being a mutant?” and I love it. I don’t know how to describe it outside of a “sad puppy dog” look.

X-MEN 97 EP 10 REVIEW

Loved this episode, as Beau said this felt healing and it didn´t dissapoint. That said I agree the series peaked on Ep 5 but for me this doesnt mean this was a bad episode at all.

Highlights for me:

Rogue beating Bastion into a pulp over Remy´s memory "remember it"

Scott and Morph being there for Logan.

Nightcrawler praying with Charles and Magneto.

Cable oppening to Jean and Scott about his childhood and their farewell.

Storm simply laughing at Phoenix appareance, just like her sister to save them all at the nick of time from the prime sentinels.

Morph making fun of Sinister

Charles remembering he is supposed to have a degree on psycology and having a therapy session with Magnus instead of leaving him in a coma, not gonna lie, this always pissed me off in the original FA, him having regrets post fact and remembering Magneto only made me feel more mad at him, so seeing him this way helped me remember why I liked his character, especially considering what has been done to him in current comics.

The first people Magneto remembers are Rogue, who is right there on Asteroid M and his children Lorna, Pietro and Wanda as well as his parents.They help him center himself in his humanity, just wish this series tackled Magda and Anya as well. Talking openly about his sense of isolation over not having an actual family and fully feeling himself part of the X-men now was great, I don´t think even in comics this has been tackled with quite the same intensity.

I personally don´t think Magneto at this point or Rogue see each other in a romantic sense, Rogue more than Magneto´s lover this season, has been more like an honest friend who could understand where he was coming from but also tell him when he was being a jerk so even if they tackle AoA, I don´t see them being end game, their relationship is more like an AU but this doesn´t mean they don´t trust or appreciate the other pov.

Just "Magneto is alive" moment.

Cyclops bad ass leadership moment in which he hoped to understand and help Bastion, supported by Storm and X-men, following the logic of the dream. Bastion reaching out to them.

Just all the cameos. Captain America, Iron Man, Peter, MJ, Cloak, Dagger, Psylocke, Omega Red to name a few, I just missed another cameo by Doctor Doom

This Ep effectively closed up previous plot points and showed what to expect of season two

Gambit will come back as death but I am almost sure this won´t last long. My guess is that Storm, Logan and Morph were selected by Apocalypse to be his current horsemen.

This kind of fun and expectative is something that has been missing for a long time in comics and I am very happy to see XM 97 feels like a fresh take of old stories.

This looks as well as if S2 is tackling different X-men teams, one in the future, another in the present and another in the past. My guess is that it was Apocalypse the one who used time manipulation to take them to different spaces in time.

That comment by Apocalypse "My children, so much death" made me remember current comics Apocalypse, so I expect him to gain new nuances in the series, just like Bastion did.

We got to see an alternate universe where Mystique raised Nightcrawler in AoA and he basically became a Male Mystique which was awesome. I would love to have seen a universe where Azazel raised Nightcrawler where he would be truly evil.

I'm sorry but, like, the X-Men apocalypse Kurt design is fucking terrible. I HATE the movie nightcrawler (Alan Cummings is on Thin fucking ice but he is attractive tho) and I wish ppl would just stick to the comic design

Like, for one the skin is fucking gross and all those scars???? HUH??? They don't even make any damn sense, literally what Catholic would do that?? I've heard of scarification in other cultures but deffo not German or Catholic for that matter and where would he even get the idea???? Like the dudes devout but still, what adult is teaching this kid to cut himself??

And god the hair is awful, his eyes are so off and where is his GODDAMN FUR???? And the way he acts ugh

And the way the entire movie xmen fandom infantilizes him is just, fucking gross god I hate him. Y'all be making him out as some "uwu soft shy twink boy" and i like a soft guy from here to there but stop doing this TO GAY MALE CHARACTERS, esp since a lotta y'all fucks are str8, stop fetishising him goddamn. Keep any movie Kurt OUT of my goddamn orbit, I'll have nothing to do with it as comic Kurt is the only one I'll ever acknowledge (and maybe some cartoon kurts)

[inked-in-art]

I still think he deserved a better ending :/

[mikeellee]

Somethong dumb I thought about. Look , if AOA was the gritty and dark world that gave us Kurt D...how is the dental plane in the X-men?

Look, Kurt D has maby headcanons where he is a clean freak....does that extend to his teeth ?

@niuniente what if Kurt D was a dentist before being well the gritty dark Kurt D we all kniw and love.

[toxolotl]

Not gonna finish this but I love this edgelord AU of my fav
