Feeling to draw these two again but in a more Total Drama-inspired art style yea. So far I quite like it. Major unbelieving that I'm the one who drew Scott as I did him from scratch while I use TD reference for Rogue (not that using reference is bad but you get the note). I would say that for the overall design, I just did what'll look good for now other than giving Scott and Rogue rounder shoulders to give them more "friendlier" vibes.
Since it's my first attempt, there might be some changes here and there as this style developed. Therefore constructive feedback is very much appreciated. ;v;/
While we're at it, I'm recommending this Scogue fic Falling Slowly on LiveJournal if you haven't read it yet. Had to use text reader as the text was way too small for me to read it manually in comfort aaa sobs.
I'm glad we're finally getting Rogneto in X-Men '97. I'm not a shipper, but Rogneto shippers have been denied onscreen content of their ship for years and the only alternative pairing to Romy we've had in cartoons is Scogue in X-Men: Evolution. Fingers crossed for an Age of Apocalypse episode or two.🤞
Well bless you, and well met, traveler! Thank you for the validation! Ship and ship alike, I say. Characters deserve more than one boat: give 'em an armada!
I'd *adore* a proper AoA on the screen. We were sadly denied with Wolverine and the X-Men. It'd be so nice to see that saga on the screen properly one day. :)
For starters, I became an X-Men fan about 10 years ago, based on the movies... And now I've come back to them after quite a long time, and I'm disheartened to find that, as far as the movies are concerned, the memories have been very, very kind to me. I've never actually read the comics, just now a few excerpts that interested me more, thus, what I know about Emma Frost is what "Wolverine and the X-men" told me, and what Wiki advised me, or what I've gleaned from fanfictions, of which there is an incredible lack. From what I know at the moment, she's an interesting character to me, probably the most interesting one I know in the x-men with a lot of potential. I like her look, how her powers work, and her contradictory nature. She's complex and has both strengths and weaknesses, she's very strong but not impossible to defeat, which to me is more interesting than an invincible entity. Her performance in the film is poor, though I actually find January Jones to be a pretty appropriate choice. But, who hasn't been done a disservice by these movies?
Rogue
Well, maybe listing Rogue as one of my favourite characters is quite an exaggeration, after all, I don't really care for her character in the movie, she didn't really interest me in the TAS series either, she showed up in the anime for about a second at the end if I remember correctly, and I don't remember what she did in Wolverine and the X-men at all... Still, I really liked her in Evolution. Which is why she's here. I enjoyed how they adapted her character into Emo mode, her partially conflicted status on the team, her endearing crush on Scott. She was really strong while having a balanced mix of negative and positive qualities. I was really disappointed that we didn't see a fifth season, because I believe the writers would have handled the Phoenix story and we would have seen Scogue, which given the parallel with their uncontrollable abilities is quite an interesting pairing.
Jean Grey
She was my most favorite character years ago. And for a very good reason. I had a really really big crush on Famke Jannsen. No well, yes I really liked Famke after watching x-men and obsessively watched every one of her movies... Yes every one... Even the really really bad ones... What a man won't do for love... But I liked Jean for several reasons. First: So her abilities even without the phoenix are simply the best. And I, the busty, had a weakness for strong characters. Also, I enjoyed the whole split personality story, actually a lot more than the comic book version, if only it was handled better... Also, she was a doctor. And I wanted to be a doctor at that time. And her whole resurrection and dying and resurrection story was just thrilling. In the present, I still enjoy Jean, despite of her Deux Ex machina persona at times, I like that she is treated partially as a being that is out of this world. I'm more interested in her as a mover and go-between for the other characters, I like her interactions with Emma, what she represents for Emma, I like her relationship with Scott, but I think they should move on, I like what she represents for the X-men community, but I think she should be dead by now.
