The Claremont Runさんのイラストまとめ

It’s a great little scene that adds emotional heft to the duel that follows (and the choices that inform it), whilst advancing the inherent conflict between Cyclops’ sense of duty and self as well as the fundamental inequity emerging in his relationship to Madelyne. 10/10

Madelyne then points out that a child is a shared responsibility between partners and (somewhat delightfully) even takes the conversation into the territory of financial earning potential: “I have skills, I can earn a living – can you say the same?!” 5/10

The debate scene in question begins with Cyclops’ declaration to Madelyne that “I have to stay. To lead them.” His concerns are his distrust for Magneto and his (terrible) observation that Storm would be a combat liability without her powers. 3/10

However, in a fax from Bob Harras, dated 4/9/91, Claremont is advised by his editor that “while I appreciate the notes on the plot to X-Men #280, I have doubts about Charlotte Jones being the cause of the S.K.’s defeat. I think we’ll pump it up here.” 3/4

In all of this, Claremont’s love for Kitty as a character shines through, as does the respect that he has for his own character creation. He strives to give life to Kitty’s anguish and sorrow through a deeply method approach to her voice in the scene. Arguably, he finds it. 10/10

The combined effect of the scene is a rather intense blend of awkwardness and anxiety that captures the raw edge of emotions that one might expect from any teenager in a similar situation. Of course, Kitty isn’t “any teenager,” so the scene is humanizing of the superhero. 8/10

Kitty’s attempt to hold it together isn’t just for the benefit of spiting Piotr, but also for herself. We see her lash out just a bit at Storm (in her mind, anyway), then strive to hold on in front of Illyana, before falling apart in her bedroom. 7/10

Even the tone of the conversation is wildly inconsistent. Kitty acts almost indifferent at times in her responses to Piotr, but flashes quickly to anger when triggered, thus reflecting the interior turmoil she is undergoing. 6/10

The backdrop for the scene (cliffs at sunset) is both dramatic and (ironically) romantic. This is enhanced by JRJR’s use of hot pink colour shade panels as well as Piotr’s tendency to stare out across the endless water, while struggling to make eye contact with Kitty. 2/10

In UXM 183 Claremont takes the seemingly superficial concept of a teenager getting dumped and lends it a weight and interiority beyond all expectation. As Piotr breaks Kitty’s heart, she is run through a complex gamut of emotional responses to devastating effect. #xmen 1/10
