The Claremont Runさんのイラストまとめ

This Illyana is depicted as fully corrupted by the Darkchylde. Where 616 sacrificed herself for the world, this Illyana would sacrifice the world for her aims. The depth of her corruption is, of course, most poignantly symbolized in her betrayal of her world’s Kitty Pryde. 5/8

Author Miles Booy argues that in early portrayals, Wolverine is symbolic of a primitive masculinity (through “ferocity”) while Storm symbolizes, in contrast, “feminine grace” through her primitive closeness to nature (26). Sort of Adam and Eve of the X-Men. 3/7

The point is that Claremont is building narrative tension and character development out of a longing for parental reconciliation that may have universal symbolic resonance (who doesn’t crave their parents love and approval?) but with specific value to the queer metaphor. 6/6

While Claremont is sometimes ridiculed for his inefficient prose, the efficiency of his character work is genuinely remarkable, with one issue establishing, resolving, or advancing a litany of character arcs operating simultaneously. 6/6

Kitty getting mentored by Stevie; Storm reconnecting with nature after her transformation by the brood; a montage of Kitty applying different forms of pressure on X; Cyclops and Lee’s relationship achieving a sweet resolution; 4/6

Simonson’s run on Thor stands out for the same reason that Claremont’s run on UXM does: narrative propulsion. Both narratives were willing to break established status quo and tell cumulative stories driven by change (rather than eschewing it altogether). 6/6

Speaking with John B. Cooke for Comic Book Artist Issue #10, Simonson describes how the approach of Claremont (and others) inspired his own groundbreaking run on Thor and the decision to push the narrative in new directions: 2/6

As a Canadian (and from the North) I take Zenari’s point, but the first UXM visit to Canada was to Calgary, depicted as a modernish metropolis, so there’s room for counterargument. I agree that Wolverine doesn’t seem Canadian to me, but I’m not even sure what that would mean. 7/7

Meanwhile, at the story level, “Canada’s representation seems to consist completely of the usual clichés of Canada as an untamed wilderness, in keeping with traditional literary typologies of Canada as outlined, for example, in Northrop Frye’s The Bush Garden.” 4/7

His initial role in the first escape attempt also shows him forcing himself on a female guard with a non-consensual kiss, another key character attribute with some villain-shading, though that’s not always clear in the context of Claremont’s writing (it happens a lot). 5/7
