i could articulate something about how the fundamentally neoliberal status quo marvel comics is committed to + the sitcom logic of the xmen means that every few years their revolutions will inevitably be halted, ineffectual, and narratively unfulfilling. or lets just kick back and wait for the unforgivably boring krakow era to finally fuck off with another mass culling event

8,9,10 and 16 for Shinobi
8. Your favorite outfit of them
Honestly I think his first one is the best one
And I was going on about this the other day:
For real. Let me write an xcomic, marvel, and I'd bring this back so hard
9. Your least favorite outfit of them
There's a lot of boring suits. I do like it when he's in more fashion forward menswear (like the Oxford bags or some of the Marauders looks), but a lot of them are tedious.
10. Describe the character in one sentence
What if some alcoholic rich kid himbo decided he wanted to be a supervillain but didn't really want to do any villainy?
16. A childhood headcanon
Oh this is hard because as funny as kid shinobi jokes can be (because is dad is, amongst many things, ludicrous), his childhood did genuinely suck.
I think he was a quiet kid (which I think is canon from what Warren says) and a sweet kid. Like, obviously he's got a nasty side to him that came out eventually, and this isn't me just saying "he's a fave so therefore he's a perfect little angel".
If we take that ooc and generally bad xforce issue with sunspot out of the picture, this man never kills anyone directly, aside from, eventually, himself. He threatens to all the time, and never does. This is done in a way that feels very deliberate and while it is likely an attempt to paint him as cowardly (which, OK yes he is but still), it could also be interpreted as telling us something about his nature. He doesn't have the stomach for this sort of thing.
I think he could very easily have been a sweet, gentle kid. With no real impulse towards violence or hurting anyone. And that's sort of still there in his core even when he's at his worst - he can't do it himself, and has to switch off and not think about these things.

no you know what? i’ma blab about immortal xmen a little more.
finally some good mr sinister machinations, but in a bigger sense:
FINALLY someone understands the basics of all these goddamn characters.
finally some characters are in-character.
i’m just gonna copy-paste my discord posts to my sister since i said everything better there:

okay. i found a recent xcomic that treats sinister right.
that does sinister as sinister
what i wanted.
it's the same one where it shows he has a fuckin jar of cloned scott eyeballs
JUST BECAUSE OF COURSE HE DOES
FFFFFFFFF
alyson — Today at 3:58 AM
kait
kait
i love scott
so heckin much
[i then posted this picture of scott’s protocols for dealing with bullshit]
so a big ol animated dimension gate turned bug beastie is attacking the island because whatever
and colossus is like 'hey doesn't scott have protocols for this shit, since he was in charge of defense but now he's superheroing in newyork'
and emma's like 'r u fuckin kidding, of goddamn course that dorkus has protocols
then it turns to this page
of 'hey what to do when you're attacked by a fuckin kaiju, written by yours truly cyclops'
and the sass
the SASS IN THE FOOTNOTES
KAIT I LOVE HIM
SOMEONE WROTE HIM RIGHT
someone gets it
someone knows of his extreme detail bullshit
finally some good fuckin xminz
alyson — Today at 4:19 AM
the 2nd issue was decent too, even though it was like 'no, no more sinister, this time we have shit from hope's pov' which is........... terrible.
hope has major protag syndrome
and even the half decent writing and direction and art couldn't stop it
but it was still good
and she had good bits
yay!
plus desitny and sinister and stuff yAAAAAAAY
and xavier being met with consequences in the form of giant dimension gate turned bug beastie kaiju
cool times cool times
