The Claremont Runさんのイラストまとめ

While the bald shock of the death of an X-Man is itself cause for emotional impact in the Dark Phoenix Saga, there’s other forces at work as well to help accentuate the weight of Jean’s demise, including a strong parallel theme of nostalgia throughout the story. #xmen 1/10

Importantly, this paints a picture of John’s relationship to modern Indigeneity (something Carnes identifies as missing with the original Thunderbird) as well as to his broader Apache heritage, as symbolized by the funeral rites that James performs. 7/8

The story is simple: the X-Men bring John’s body back to his family in New Mexico, only to find it stolen by James (John’s brother). The priest intending to perform the funeral threatens to call the police, but the Proudstars know better and ask everyone to leave. They don’t. 4/8

Where many comics writers have a tendency to establish friendships through forced statements, Claremont plays a longer game, slowly but surely establishing their shared admiration. Sam and Bobby bond over shared grief, sports, crushes on girls, and Magnum PI. 4/8

And when the time comes to choose, Kitty’s loyalty is to being a superhero. Helping her peers is important to her, but Excalibur is a higher calling - an important choice given the double-standard of priorities typically portrayed in superhero comics according to gender. 8/9

Similarly, through her time at the school, Kitty moves from a hated outsider to a treasured member of a capable sororal community, something that Claremont uses cheerleading (a frequently distorted symbol of feminine culture) to solidify. 6/9

Claremont personifies some of this in the character of Phoebe Huntsman, a seemingly archetypal “mean girl,” but Kitty quickly learns that she might have misunderstood Phoebe and even forms a strong friendship with her thereafter (with some sexual undertones as well). 5/9

Claremont’s last story before his departure from Excalibur is (appropriately) the Kitty-centric “Girls School from Heck.” Though maligned for its sexualization of teen girls, the story does present an intriguingly worthy opponent for Kitty herself: feminine culture. #xmen 1/9

We should consider that Shyminsky’s read offers a harsh take on Kurt’s actions and their symbolic import given the brutal context surrounding his debate with Callisto, but nonetheless it offer us an interesting lens through which to consider Kurt’s role in a class metaphor. 7/7

Claremont would progressively erode the villain-coding of the Morlocks, starting almost immediately thereafter, transitioning them, eventually, into a sympathetic portrayal of the underprivileged that often directly calls the X-Men’s privilege into consideration. 5/7
