The Claremont Runさんのイラストまとめ

She even shooshes him in a condescending manner (“hush”) and tells him to (very politely) shut up and kiss her. In all of this, the scene makes it abundantly clear that Jean is in control; Jean has the power in this situation. 8/9

The famous consummation scene between Jean and Scott in UXM 132 features an important assertion of Jean’s sexual agency and power, setting up some of the prominent symbolism that will lend meaning and purpose to the Dark Phoenix Saga. #xmen 1/9

While superhero comics are famous for advocating the existence of moral absolutes in the pursuit of justice, Storm takes that idea of the “one rule” and stabs it in the chest very early on in her tenure as leader of the X-Men, altering the paradigm entirely. #xmen 1/8

One of Claremont’s most consistent approaches to character is to build their identities around dualities, with each X-Man embodying what seems, on the surface, like contradictory attributes. #xmen 1/5

Stemming directly from the pages of UXM, Alpha Flight became a wildly successful X-Men spinoff franchise that gave Canada a rare position of prominence within the Marvel Universe while advancing the broader X-Universe in pivotal ways. #xmen #alphaflight 1/6

Claremont connects this latter aspect directly to Scott’s abandonment: “I am what I am. What men like you have made me.” She then leaves him broken in Sinister’s costume, foreshadowing the truth we don’t yet know: Sinister made her. 7/12

Claremont even has her function as the moral compass of the arc, allowing Madelyne to deliver the moral of the story to the Genegineer. That duality is fascinating – a damned character committed to betrayal and destruction, who is still the voice of righteousness here. 5/12

The Genoshan Saga stands on its own as a powerful and compelling story (Jason Powell calls it Claremont’s best), but the B-story is the Goblin amongst them and watching Madelyne embody both good and evil adds a lot of nuance to her Inferno character. 3/12

There’s a very old literary strategy at play here called “delay of anticipation,” which just means forestalling an inevitable conflict in order to add tension to the forthcoming battle. You can see it used extensively in Grecco-Roman epics like The Iliad and The Aeneid. 2/12

Also surfacing in the aftermath is the fundamental trust that the team is placing in the unknown entity of Psylocke, who can know all their intimate secrets yet withhold her own (and gentle reminder that she’s a spy for Mojo at this point). 9/11
