Thank you Brian Michael Bendis
for ruining my childhood! A few hours
ago Brian Michael Bendis gave an interview to Good Morning America and
basically dashed any hopes of me picking up another Marvel X-Men comic book
ever again. He is the writer on the
current “All-New X-Men” and has a few years ago he shook up the mutant world
and its fans by having the original five students, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Angel,
Beast, & Iceman time-jump from their past as teenagers to the current time
where they are adults. Following conflicting
truths and battles in which they find out that none of them with the exception
of Iceman are the same person in the future.
Cyclops has tried to take over the world and declared war against the
humans. Jean Grey is dead. Angel is now the Archangel. Beast is covered in blue fur and of all
things looks like a cat??? Anyways in an
attempt to try to change things the young X-Men decided to stay in our
time.
Well, today Brian Michael Bendis
dropped a bomb on us by outing young Bobby Drake aka Iceman and says that he is
gay. I’m sorry I just don’t buy
that. Is this just an attempt to draw in
some homosexual fans to the X-Men? If so
you already have Northstar a mutant from the team of Alpha Force. It’s long been known that he was gay and that
he was not ashamed about it. No one made
a big deal about it then and many of the X-Men fans accepted him for who he
is. So, why try to re-write history of a
fan favorite character who is already established with a rich history? Oh because you brought them from the past
into the future and now you think you can write whatever you want? I’m sorry, if you wanted to try to bring more
gay fans to the X-Men why not create a new X-Man who pushes the
boundaries? Oh they already did that
with Wolverine’s wayward son who is apparently bi-sexual. So why ruin everyone’s favorite ice-wielding
mutant? Oh because he’s time-displaced
you can do whatever you want? Thank you
Marvel for proving that you have officially run out of original ideas.
