If Nightcrawler shows up in Deadpool and Wolverine I will die happy. Please let this happen!!
(Ps, it needs to be Alan Cumming's Nightcrawler, but I would be happy enough with Kodi Smit-McPhee)
*Update---it kinda happened with both actors!

You Ever Have Those Realizations?
You're just sitting, doing your thing, maybe reading, and suddenly, you are hit in the face with the steel baseball bat of epiphany. You have now realized why you love that one character *so much.*
Yeah, so anyways, I was reading Uncanny Spider-Man last night, as you do, because I was curious about this little mini-series. Overall, not a bad series. A little rushed, but ah well. A little odd, too, but this is X-Men; what isn't a little odd? Not the point, though. Here I was reading when I got to this panel:
And, okay, ow. Were the writers of this comic present in my therapy session yesterday?
Needless to say, alongside this panel appeared the aforementioned steel baseball bat.
To the face.
(but not the groin, that's a different metaphor of mine that doesn't quite fit here)
But it just hit me all at once. Kurt is a character that's been beaten down by life in more ways than one. He's tried, he's tried *a lot,* and he has great reason to be angry or bitter or resentful. It would make complete sense for a character like him to hit a point and give up entirely, and his rant here about deserving to stop really hits home.
And yet he's none of those things. He absolutely has his moments (like above), but who doesn't? Overall, Kurt's character is consistently depicted as someone full of hope, someone who tries to see the best, who clings to his faith and keeps pushing forward because he believes it's all ultimately worth it. And good Lord if I don't feel that. I just got done telling my therapist how I'm just so tired, how I want it all to stop, how I want to stop putting on that brave face and pushing on like a good little soldier. And yet here I am praying to God Almighty for strength to keep going because He definitely knows I have none left.
Anyways, all this to say, I love Nightcrawler a lot for quite a few different reasons, and I'm quietly talking myself off the cliff of immediately tattooing this furry elf onto my body with money I don't have.
Have a lovely day, friend :)
P.S. Extra Kurt panel that I also vibe with 1000% as a reward for reading my little ramble
