BOUGHT/THOUGHT for Dec 13th, 2006

[Colossal Spoons]

NO! I almost wish X3 never happened. Plus, they played that card in 616 too. Besides, Ultimate Cyclops is argueably my favorite character in the Ultimate X-Men, and it was Millar's hardcore portrayal of him years back that helped me appreciate and even like him as a character (X-Men Evolution and yes, even James Marsden helped).

Why doesn't Ultimate run with some of the innovative ideas that Morrison tried, and failed, to make appealing and make them work out better?

You're wishing the Xorneto debacle on the Ultimate universe? That's cold man.

Not Xorneto. That was part of the failure. I mean some of the concepts where they actually tried to parallel real race issues, like a mutant ghetto, like people having a variety of responses besides shifts from love to hate of mutants, like some would worship and even fetishize them, and so on. That sort of thing. It was the concepts behind a lot of the stories themselves that could have gone far had Marvel kept them there for another writer, a writer less divisive than Morrison, to do. Ultimate could try that.

If I lived in the Marvel universe, I would totally own an illegal amount of Mutant Porn.....
