I think Marvel Move is a little overpriced, but is overall a very good work-out app themed around Marvel heroes... though it has always been surprising how niche some of the pulls thus far have been - and this Pride event doesn't seem to be breaking that trend! Let's look forward to the audio debuts of Cam, Carmen, and Shela.

Madelyne Pryor is trying her best to treat the wounded Havok (Alex Summers) by using her magic and her telekinesis. Gambit (Remy Lebeau) tries to ask about Havok's health only to get shut out by Madeline as she is too busy to answer. So Gambit has to focus on defusing a conflict between Maggott (Japheth) and Azazel. Neither Maggott nor Gambit trust Azazel but they are forced to work together as reluctant teammates for the sake of survival. Meanwhile, Zero (Kenji Uedo) treats Albert the Robot Wolverine like a new toy.

Before Gambit could talk to Carmen Cruz the new recruit, they see Havok coming into the room with Madeline. Havok appears with a new unhealthy pale color and a wound that seems not to bleed but also not to be sewn close properly. As Havok introduces himself to Carmen, she considers changing her codename from Gimmick to Feint. Then, Madelyne calls up the mutants for a gathering. Madelyne introduces her creepy device to the mutants in the room. The creepy device is the Mercy Crown, which is like Cerebro except that it scans for souls of mutants instead of minds. Madelyne uses the Mercy Crown to scan through the mutants around the globe. There are cameos of Northstar's Resistance group in Canada, Bishop working in the safehouse, Emma Frost pretending to be Tony Stark's new assistant, lonesome Charles Xavier on the ruins of Krakoaland, Wolverine fighting Wendigo, Callisto on the ship, Mystique looking alive and well, and lastly, there's a cameo of Marisol Guerra the young mutant girl from Greg Pak's Storm comic.

So, I've now done the Marvel Move Pride run! Here's my spoiler-light thoughts/impressions...

Marvel Move, art by Luciano Vecchio.

I really enjoyed it~! It wasn't quite what I had been expecting, but it was a very fun take on a mutant-themed Pride story.

Instead of focusing on the protagonist of the previous X-Men runs, this story puts us in the running shoes of Producer, a new mutant who both produces social media content with Carmen Cruz and tentacles using their mutant gift. Producer is a silent protagonist, as is to be expected, but I enjoyed their vibe - they had some fun moments of tentacle self-expression. It's also just funny to me how varied the Move protagonists have been thus far - from relatively-average humans to tentacled mutants...

I liked the angles taken with all the lead characters! Carmen was a fun host, Bobby was appropriately joke-y with a hint of (intentional) cringiness, Cam Long was as stoic as to be expected, Jumbo was a very fun queer elder type of character, and Escapade was the right balance between adorably dorky and somewhat exasperated. Carmen discussing the appeal of making clothing by hand and the value in learning that practical skill instead of just relying on her mutant gift was a very interesting character choice too - love that for her and love indirect the commentary on continuing to make art by hand and not just relying on modern technology...

The villains were very well-done and the main speaking villain's actor killed it. This work-out app story is maaaaaaybe the most unambiguous and explicit use of mutant metaphor as a trans allegory I've seen in an official Disney product? Which is kind of impressive when I think a lot of the mutantphobia of ORCHIS and especially the Coven Akkaba drew from modern anti-trans rhetoric in the comics, but they REALLY leaned into it with the Friends of Humanity's portrayal here.

That said, it does also take a more intersectional approach to mutanthood as well, with the experiences of Bobby as a gay cis male mutant obviously being different from Shela as a sapphic trans female mutant, etc, etc. It was a good balance that made sure Pride story wasn't just pure mutant metaphor content...

So yeah! Good time overall. I wasn't expecting this run, but I'm glad to have gotten it.

(Also if this post ends up in the feeds of a bunch of Marvel Move people like my last one... Hello!!! Keep up the good work.)
