Let's talk about Children's Crusade!

Thoughts? Feelings? Opinions? I'm curious to know them.

Okay, so for serious...

I thought the series had an interesting premise (in the BILLY GOES SOMEWHAT CRAY, FIND THE SCARLET WITCH TO FIX HIM idea), but they lost me with Magneto being insanely ooc and then suddenly Doombots. This was followed up by Simon... Randomly being there, Iron Lad Time Adventures, and Doctor Doom being in love. None of which helped matters.

But by far what I found the most infuriating was Wanda saying something along the lines of "I'm not a real person, I'm just the daughter of Magneto, the sister of Quicksilver, and the Vision's wife." It showed a fundamental misunderstanding of the character. Not only that, but a dismissal of one of the more prominent and longstanding female figures in the Marvel universe based on her relationships with men. More than that... She's been Magneto's daughter only officially since the late 80s, the Vision's wife since the late 80s, and being Pietro's sister is really more of a footnote for her.

Killing off one of the female characters, and sending away the only character of color on the book was just added classiness.

... And those are my thoughts.

Heinberg has no idea how to write characters he didn't create

see also Wolverine being all WHOO YEAH LET'S GO KILL PEOPLE and shit

True that.

WOLVERINE IS THE BEST HE IS AT WHAT HE DOES and that is all of his characterization ever right

[whatwouldspideydo]

I bet he sort of looked at the cover of a Wolverine comic out of the corner of his eye once and figured that was sufficient enough to be qualified to write him.

[latveria]

It was probably a cover done by Greg Land, too.

aaaaaall of this

Actually, Luna's first appearance was 1982, so I guess you could say Magneto has officially been Pietro and Wanda's father for at least that long. Either way, they also had a family-type relationship with the Whizzer and Miss America, and then the High Evolutionary, so umm. Yeah. My point remains.
