The Claremont Runさんのイラストまとめ

Jean’s funeral scene contains no dialogue in order to emphasize the silence of the moment (simulating grief) right up until the very end when Cyclops announces his departure, thus breaking the silence with something of a crescendo. 3/8

“Here was someone where what you saw was the opposite of what you got, where looks were totally deceiving, whose progression as a character (both within the team and within the greater society) exemplified the journey we all hoped for, for Mutantkind as a whole.” 5/5

Claremont is famous for writing some epic superhero death scenes, but the death of Destiny deserves to be in the same conversation as the likes of Jean Grey and Thunderbird. It’s not foregrounded to the same extent, but its execution is tremendous. 10/10

When she awakens, Destiny withholds her vision from Raven and instead prepares her wife for the future without her, insisting Forge protect M, and even demanding that Forge provide love to Mystique where Destiny won’t be able to. 8/10

“I weep. Without knowing whether from grief at what’s been lost or joy at the indescribable glory that remains. And with those tears, the awareness that my moment has come.” 6/10

Kurt isn’t like that. His spiritual side includes layers of complexity such as doubt, selective compliance, active questioning, and, above-all, evolution. Through this complexity, Kurt’s spiritual journey becomes compelling. 3/6

“Brian still dislikes Meggan taking animal form (would you like it if your girl looked like a dog) Meggan had been spurned by mankind, her fathers superstitiously gypsy clan, because her weirdling power protected her from extreme cold... Prejudice did the rest….” 5/6

“Brian and Meggan are deeply in love. They are not concerned with their age difference. Brian is 30, Meggan is 18(ish (well nearly)), nor their hugely different intellects.” 2/6

Melissa Harris-Perry notes in her foreword to the anthology Black Female Sexualities that “Black women can invite watching, even ogling, and maintain a space for pleasure and autonomy across a spectrum of possibilities.” 2/9

Revisited within the sexual politics of 2021 (as part of ongoing discussions on grooming and emotional abuse) Brian/Meggan holds up surprisingly well as a narrative of a self-serving male authority figure emotionally abusing his vulnerable partner who deserves better. 7/8
