How I think the Nashuri plot line may happen in ASOMAM :

. Okay so the BP 1 plot happened before all the mess in ASOMAM. Then Namor comes up to the surfaces of Wakanda to propose an alliance with then because the Lannisters are hunting for Vibranium for their own power gains

. And then as a way to spy on the KL movements, Namor disguised as some new naval general from the Summer Isles under the behest of Mace Tyrell

. He also is courting Shuri, who at first had no idea what to think of him yet....actually grew to love him

. Basically it's like Beauty and the Beast and Julius Caesar/Cleopatra like plotline between the 2.

In ASOMAM, I imagine Nashuri to be like a slow burn rivals to allies to love thing

Like at first the Wakandans are wary of the Talokanils since they seem to be descended from the Summer Isles sea gods, but they formed the alliance for the sake of vibranium protection

And little by little, Namor managed to worm his way to Shuri's heart.

He did not cause death of Ramonda and TChalla still is living in this ( with his young son T'Challa II btw )

#nashuri #okay i finally found a fic series where nashuri can actually happen #damn that was wild #a song of marvel and metals

im fully cheating but 12, 16, 21, 49, and 63 :)

12) Scott Summers, 650 read appearances

So I've been really enjoying MacKay's Scott in the abjectiveless X-Men title. He and Idie are definitely his strongest characters with the most space given to really shine in this run in my opinion so I really like it so far. I'm really looking forward to seeing maybe more payoff with Scott having occasional panic attacks, I think that's gonna be really interesting! Scott, along with Charles, was also the only genuinely interesting person in LeeKirby X-Men and I've gained a newfound appreciation for him there because it was his neurosis that were keeping me from having a truly terrible time and little else. I don't want Scott to ever have a good day <3

16) Peter Parker, 490 read appearances

Uhhhhhhhhh fuck. I guess I like how antagonistic him and Janet are, the whole "Spiders and Wasps are natural enemies" thing is so funny. And uhhhh... Oh I've been reading the new Joe Kelly run! And I've been liking that! I mean less so for Peter and more the people around him but still! That should count for something. I dunno, he's kind of like Iron Man to me, the stuff I read goes in one ear and out the other.

21) T'Challa Udaku, 391 read appearances

My buddy T'Challa! I don't think I've ever read something with him that I didn't like him in, he's a very charming character and even when he's doing something I think is wrong it's always interesting to see his thought process, he's really cool. I've only majorly read the Reginald Hudlin run but I quite enjoyed it, particularly the latter half when he, Storm, Ben and Johnny all go dimension-hopping together. I also loved when he became a teacher in America when he first joined the Avengers, that was very charming and I think an interesting way for him to try and become more familiar with black American culture as an outsider. I'm planning on reading the Priest run at some point and I'm really excited for it, I also can't wait to read the Bryan Hill run. Oh, I also love what MacKay has been doing with him in Avengers, he and Sam are definitely The Main Members Of The Team and I really like that. Wonderful guy, gotta read more of him soon!!!

49) Carol Danvers (Captain Marvel), 198 read appearances

Ohhh, Carol. She's a difficult character to talk about, and particularly her Captain Marvel iteration which unfortunately has the everpresent cloud of Civil War II and the ongoing militarification of her story. I mean, Carol has always been tied to the military, but something about her being Captain Marvel brought a definite narrative shift that I'm not necessarily a big fan of. ANYWAY, there are comics of hers that I like :) Again, MacKay Avengers Good, and I loveeee how butch she looks in the Fearless mini from 2019. I didn't read all that much of the Kelly Thompson Captain Marvel run (only really the stuff with Hazmat), but I remember liking it!

63) Rick Jones, 160 read appearances

Rick is more of a friend of my mutuals' rather than a friend of mine, but he's okay :) I imagine when I eventually lock in to Peter David Hulk I'll have more substantial things to say, but my main experiences with him that I can name are Avengers Forever, the incredibly confusing and circular Kurt Busiek maxiseries, and Immortal Hulk, which is always goat. One day for you I will have more things to say </3 I like his harmonica in his first appearance....

Avengers (2023) Retrospective

ok technically the series isn't over but they've changed the lineup so it counts. Let's call it a "retrospective on part 1"

i. Jed's Style

I hadn't been following news on this so when I clicked on this week's I was genuinely surprised to see Steve... and then I was annoyed.*

*when I originally wrote this post I thought the Steve-led blood hunt line up was going to be permanent, hence the strong emotions

So, I guess I'll sort this rant into sections so it looks like I am capable of logic and reason even though this is entirely vibes:

So, McKay has this really noticeable tic in his writing where he structures an action sequence with a bunch of shit simultaneously, and then the panels flit between each tableau with a narration saying Something Meaningful about each moment which then builds to a climax.

This genuinely works really well to build to dramatic moments and to have the entire team feel present in the story. It does, perhaps, just a bit, get a little repetative and maybe didn't need to happen as many times as it did in 13 issues. 13 issues is long enough to devote longer to individual characters, and provide a more personalised story moment for everyone outside of the ensemble. So, yeah, effective at showcasing the team as a whole but not the most efficient use of time for more in depth storytelling.

That said, while I wasn't massively moved emotionally by what happened in this series, I did like it a lot. He's a good writer, his characterisation was mostly very good, and I had a good time.

ii. The SamChalla of it All

My absolute favourite thread in this series has been the relationship between Sam and T'Challa.

The pre-amble to this is that T'Challa made Sam's wings way back when, and he made his shield. He's just staggeringly down to help him and give him vibranium for nothing, just the sheer love of the game I guess. But then, in Symbol of Truth (SoT), Sam sneaks into Wakanda for superhero reasons and T'Challa is like "you're not supposed to be here" and Sam is like "can you not see the nazi I was chasing he is literally right there" and then they fight. They fight and Sam wins.

Sam wins, in jeans and a t-shirt. No wings, no shield. And to Sam, it's like whatever he just wanted to get out of that situation, but to T'Challa, that seems like a big deal. It shows that Sam doesn't need him, never did. It rocks his sense of superiority which, love the guy but he definitely has one.

It's important to remember that T'Challa is currently Going Through It when it comes to feeling rejected by his country (they want democracy) and having a bit of an identity crisis. This informs how he acts in Avengers (2023). How does he act? Pettily.

He nags Sam, condescends towards him, insists on calling him by his first name and not his code name. It's petty, it's mean spirited, but also oddly intimate. You can tell Sam bothers him, gets to him in some way.

For Sam's part, he doesn't sit back and take it, but he doesn't rise to the bait either. He pushes back a little, but avoids a real conflict. This is in character, and indicates that Sam does still respect T'Challa, despite his pettiness. I doubt Sam would have a huge amount of empathy for T'Challa's current angst (because lol) but he does want to be friends, he wants this weird phase to pass.

And then in Blood Hunt (which is ongoing and yes that means I should probably be saving this retrospective until after it ends but whatever) we see T'Challa sacrifice himself to save Sam. The other avengers too, but Sam first. Sam is his priority.

Now, isn't that just a fabulous moment. Everybody, please, write me some fanfics.

iii. Art (Comic Book go Brr)

It's fucking stunning let's be real.

The art is CF Villa, who knocks it out of the park. Everyone looks great, especially Wanda, and it's just fabulous to look at. Like, I don't have anything to say here because it's not like it's super stylised or there's anything unique about the art. It's just really solid in a really pleasing way.

I also like the way he drew Sam. I like it when Sam gets to be pretty and youthful, and not always so "big massive hulking monster of a dude" - Admittedly this is weird because obviously he is a big masculine guy, but adjusting for inflation (i.e. adjusting for the fact that all marvel dudes are massive), he's not supposed to be a mountain. He's a gymnast ffs. And yes, he's not technically that young in canon, he is approximately the same age as the o5 x-men, and younger than, like, Emma Frost, and yet he gets drawn like he's middle aged half the time and they all get to be fresh faced 20-somethings. So, yeah maybe my preferences are silly but they're not formed in a vaccuum - I like it when Sam gets the physical appearance that has been denied him in the past. And I don't think it's a coincidence that artists over the years have decided to make the black guy visually the biggest, most masc and oldest of the group time and time again even when it makes no sense.

That was a long way of saying that I preferred Sam's look in Avengers (2023) compared to SoT. And his writing tbh.

iv. Why am I so Mad?

I didn't love his writing though.

There were a few moments scattered here and there that felt really weird. I think McKay's choice to associate Sam with this abstract idea of being The Symbol could have worked, but he never really filled in the blanks there. A symbol of what? A symbol to whom? I think there are potentially really interesting and relevant answers to these questions with Sam, but I can't help but think they're what he had in mind when writing it.

No, rather I think he just had a vision of Sam as a Steve stand-in... but if #14 is anything to go by, a stand-in who he is considerably less interested in than he is in Steve.

Steve is a symbol of America, of patriotism and courage and valour, hope in desperate circumstances and punching nazis. He also symbolises american ideals of white masculinity, and functions as a kind of ubermensch much to his own annoyance. That's the irony of Steve - he represents things in many people's eyes that he doesn't stand for, and his grappling with that is a big theme for the character. In general, Steve is hyper aware of his own symbolic import - it comes up over and over again. Moreover, he deliberate evokes that power - his assumed status as a figurehead - in order to get people to do things.

Sam's status as a public symbol is very, very different. He is not seen as the embodiment of America - in fact many people seethe and cope at the very idea of him being associated with it - he's not a universal symbol of anything really, given how controversial he is. And, again, that's the twist with Sam - he's politicised no matter what he does and his dilemmas and decisions are all in the context of having radically different expectations on him than Steve does. That said, Sam does care about his symbolism; he specifically cares about how young Black people understand him, how they respond to him. He wants to inspire. His priority is not symbolic - he's all about actually helping people on the ground - but it is still an important thing to him that could've been explored.

But it isn't.

The worst part of this is that moment when T'Challa sacrifices himself. The villains want to take Sam and vampire-ise him because they think it'll be symbolic. T'Challa saves Sam, but literally says it's for symbolism reasons (very "the people need captain america because he gives them hope") but like...? No, T'Challa doesn't believe that. No, Sam is not seen like that by the public tbh. No, the villain is not right actually. The scene would have been so much stronger if T'Challa's reasoning was because he likes Sam, because he cares about him. That way the villain's cold, strategic perspective is contrasted with something human and loving, and it's a more apt final beat to their relationship arc.

Yeah. The man wanted to write Steve the entire time you can tell.

And, anyway, I don't think the rest of blood hunt is going to heavily feature Sam as a beloved symbol of hope the world over. Maybe I'll stand corrected, but I doubt it.* Especially because #14 continues the event but with Steve and oh what's that? He's the world symbol of hope and courage and whatnot?

*future me again: I think I was right about this. Sam does give a big speech in blood hunt but to me it fails to fulfil the function McKay needed it to, because Sam only gives a big inspiring speech because Carol tells him to. A ridiculous moment in my opinion. This is not the inspiring power of Sam, it's outsourcing.

The other way Sam felt less than present in this series is obviously his powers. I know I go on about this every time, but seriously. He uses his powers once in #2, never again. There are missed opportunities with this, especially when they're dealing with Nightmare/existing in a dream state. Worse, the very first episode shows Sam being recruited with Carol's argument being "I would take Steve because obviously he's better but Sam is a powerless everyman so he's more humbly relatable." I'm paraphrasing but it's literally that patronising.

No, Sam is literally superhuman. No, he would not find this convincing. No, your otherwise good writing doesn't make me any less mad at you, Jed.

McKay's obvious glee at finally having Steve in his lineup is incredibly off putting. It's clearly what he wanted all along. But there's this other thing. Namely, that while Sam is clearly playing a stand-in role for Steve in this series, he's not really getting the full Captain America treatment either.

vi. Did Carol Danvers ruin my life?

At some point in the mid 2010s, Marvel made Carol Captain Marvel (she'd been Ms Marvel for years) and decided to actually treat her with dignity and gravitas. To respect the character and make her important. To portray her as the heavy hitter and major player she should be. And to make her a team leader.

Now, this is great obviously. Lovely to see them give her the respect she'd been often denied over the years.

She's the team leader in this comic. And then there's Tony - the writer's pet to end all writer's pets - and the rest of the team. So, if Steve were on this team, he'd be the leader. Tony would still be there and in charge of a lot, but Steve would be the shot-caller in action scenes and the guy framed as the lead. If Carol was on the same team as Steve (in the modern era) maybe they'd split this role, but Steve would still be calling shots and, idk like, pointing at stuff.. telling the avengers to assemble, you know the drill.

Sam's not doing that, though, is he?

Sam's just another part of the team here. He's not in a leadership position, not even when they're out in the field. He's kinda just in the background half the time. He gets to be the horse whisperer to the impossible city - which I genuinely love as a character beat it suits him - but aside from that he's just kind of there. To be clear, this is way better than that godawful infinity comic that insults him at every opportunity (and physically beats the shit out of him) but it still feels odd, right? He's call "captain" sometimes in Avengers (2023), but he doesn't get even a whif of authority in the series.

I'm left wondering if there really is room for a Captain America, a Captain Marvel and Iron Man in an avengers series. Like, that's too many bosses, too many team leaders. And that sucks.

But of course, if Steve were here, they'd find a way to put him in charge wouldn't they? This also sucks.

Anyway, it's not like I massively, desperately need Sam to be giving orders all the time. Honestly, I think as a guy he's in his comfort zone when he's not in charge. But that's why it's important to push him into a leadership role sometimes - because it challenges him. That's the entire point of him being Cap ffs.

v. Conclusion

I don't want to sound like I hate this series. I'd recommend #1-#13 and I do genuinely think it's really solid.

I'm also aware that a lot of what it failed me on are things that really belong in a Sam solo. But we don't have a Sam solo right now. We did have one, and it was kinda meh. It had many of the same problems and some entirely different ones. Although, it had a bit more fun with his powers, I'll give SoT that at least.

I guess maybe my hopes were a little too high? I was so caught up in the high of Sam being in a good comic that I forgot that company wide failures to do Sam justice existed.

But overall I think it is genuinely very good. I'm not a big avengers series person at all, and I still read this every month and anticipated each new issue. I had fun. I'm just also full of bitterness and resentment.

#2200 words ish #kinda salt #kinda not #avengers (2023)#this is mostly about Sam because you know me this is what I end up doing #rants

Okay here's the whole crew, fleshed out a bit more with a tarot character development thing :') and i still dunno rly what to DO with em... ideas?

Sidzla Irene (19) was born in Wakanda as the daughter of Ultron, Mikitta, and Mikitta's symbiote Mayhem. Though raised with love and tradition in the Border Tribe and officially accepted into a clan once she became rited as an adult at 17, she often feels pressure to justify her existence—trying to be composed, useful, or “normal” even when she isn’t sure what that means for someone like her. Lately, she’s been pushing herself to seem mature, responsible, and in control—but underneath, she feels uncertain and afraid of being seen as not enough. She fears being rejected or left behind, which makes her overly cautious and defensive. What she truly needs is to let go of that tension, trust in her place, and allow herself to be curious, creative, and fully present in the life she already has.

Toussaint/T'Challa II (25-26) is a young man caught between two worlds—raised in Haiti with his mother Nakia’s values, then returning to Wakanda as a prince still learning the ropes. He prefers blending in as “just a Haitian guy,” using charm and subtlety to navigate life while aware his actions reflect on Wakanda. Deep down, he fears not living up to expectations and struggles with feeling disconnected from his royal legacy. What he truly needs is personal happiness and peace, but he often tries to prove himself through success and independence instead of facing his deeper emotions. He’s balancing identity, duty, and desire as he finds his own path.

Love Thorsdottir (28) grew up with deep loss and instability, never feeling truly safe or cared for. She fears facing her own inner depth and struggles to manage overwhelming emotions. Right now, she’s in a phase of uncertainty and self-reflection, learning to surrender control and find balance. Though confident and powerful, she often hides insecurity behind action and seeks connection to fill an inner void. Her true growth will come from learning to hold her emotions with maturity, embracing both her cosmic nature and human vulnerability, and loving herself without relying on others for validation.

Morgan Stark (25) is a brilliant, quiet systems builder who rejects legacy, leadership, and spectacle. She grew up in the aftermath of heroism and chose a different path—one grounded in mutual aid, tech for justice, and small, lasting change. She’s afraid of becoming a symbol or authority figure like her father, and struggles with staying emotionally distant to maintain control. Though she values logic, what she truly needs is to stand firm in her beliefs and stay connected to the people she serves. She’s not trying to save the world—she’s helping it save itself.

Tommy Shepherd/Maximoff is a fast-talking, fast-moving 31-year-old (not that he feels his biological age) with a habit of never staying in one place—or role—for long. He drifts between gigs, hero work, and cities, avoiding anything that feels too permanent. Deep down, he fears being irrelevant or forgettable, especially next to his twin brother. He hides this with swagger and charm, but hasn’t truly dealt with where he came from or who he wants to be. He craves stability and respect but doesn’t know how to slow down long enough to build it. Everything he wears or does has meaning—because he’s still trying to prove he’s real, even if he pretends not to care.

Axl Heimdallson (28) is a Black Asgardian, a refugee turned rock musician trying to live on his own terms. Everyone sees him as the all-seeing son of Heimdall, but he wants no part of the myth. He plays in a band that rejects Asgardian nostalgia, channeling grief, rage, and survival into hard-edged original music. Though he’s trained in his powers, he avoids using them unless necessary. Quietly, he struggles with grief, emotional distance, and the pressure to be strong. What he really wants is to feel without being judged, to love without fear, and to be known for who he is—not what people expect him to be.

Nate Barton is a quiet, capable 23-year-old from rural Iowa—more farm kid than fighter, but with a calm, deadly edge. He’s skilled in karate, proficient in Japanese from international competitions, and got into rope dart and parkour because they looked cool and felt good. Raised on a farm, he can fix a truck, track a deer, and handle a knife like it’s second nature. He doesn’t want to be a hero like his dad, but he quietly chases that same precision. On the surface, he’s laid-back and easygoing, but under it all, he struggles with pressure, self-doubt, and the weight of expectations he never asked for.
