The Claremont Runさんのイラストまとめ

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

The character of Caliban (the first Morlock) is named as an allusion to Shakespeare’s “The Tempest,” and the connections to that play create some intriguing intersections that can then be extrapolated to the broader X-Men/Morlock hierarchy. #xmen 1/7

“Storm – the older and wiser of the two – understood her case was already different than Jean’s and struggled to explain that difference to Kitty, who must logically prepare to undergo similar tests of strength and character on her own one day.” 4/5

“But watching how a combination of emotional instability and increasing power slowly corrupted a female teammate long thought beyond the possibility of corruption left a lasting impression on Storm and Kitty.” 2/5

More than plot summaries, the end product is something akin to the best kinds of pop-culture scholarship, providing deep insights in an engaging and entertaining manner. 3/3

Kurt even admonishes her for her actions, perhaps unaware of the privilege that Storm has extended him in taking on the grim but necessary action herself. He had volunteered for the duel, but Storm replaced him, identifying the burden as belonging to the X-Men’s leader alone. 6/8
