Comics The Official ROGUE Discussion Thread

Any news on what Rogue is doing now?

 

[Colossal Spoons]

That WAS funny. Especially how it works on several levels. (Of naughtiness.) Very 'Ellis' to get a remark like that in there while keeping it completely family friendly if you wanna see it that way.

Pretty sure it wasn't meant to be naughty. Wolverine would never say that about Rogue lol

 

[Coldqueen]

Well...Wolverine and Rogue DID make out during the "Golgatha" arc.

Also...right now Rogue is riding her motorcycle.

Through Australia.

For no foreseeable reason.

 

[Not_Sane]

So no one really knows why she is riding her motorcycle through Australia?

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Nope. Welcome to X-Men Legacy

Pretty sure it wasn't meant to be naughty. Wolverine would never say that about Rogue lol

Two answers fer ya:

1- For one thing, Warren Ellis would SO write that about any character.

2- Logan is the biggest pervy playa on any X-Men team.

Well...Wolverine and Rogue DID make out during the "Golgatha" arc.

Exactamundo. Suure, Logan doesn't look at Rogue 'that' way....

Come to think of it, remember during the Magneto War, when Logan and Kurt are faling from a great height and Kurt says he can't risk 'porting, because they may wind up 'inside a fellow X-Man's body'. And Logan says (Seeing Storm and Rogue underneath them) 'Some interesting options there though'

Yeahhh....innocent li'l Logan....

 

[Coldqueen]

ROFLMAO. See...times like this when he isn't being shoved down our throats as Marvel's answer to every SINGLE PROBLEM IN THEIR COMICS...I can be amused by Wolverine. I don't like him, I think he's as overexposed as that ****ing Umbrella song...but there are moments when I can remember that he wasn't always a tool.

Also...right now Rogue is riding her motorcycle.

Through Australia.

For no foreseeable reason.

Talking with her imaginary friend back at the Outback outpost. We told you that. t:

Besides, what do you *mean* for no reason? She's a vital chapter in the Xavier saga. It's not as if at least a dozen characters' presence would be more relevant to the premise of the book. Pfff.

 

[Not_Sane]

If she is vital then whats her story? Whats she going to do?

 

[Coldqueen]

...no, see, his point is that she DOES NOT have a vital story.

 

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

God I hope they don't retcon one, LOL.

 

[Coldqueen]

Yo...which issue specifically has the Rogue scene in it (with her riding the motorcycle through Australia)?

I'm finally catching up on the comics (and maintaining an avoidance of all things MC).

 

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

Legacy 210.

One page. Four lines.

 

[Coldqueen]

Oh...*head/wall* I'm...*head/desk*

I didn't read past the Q&A. Didn't realize there was an epilogue.

 

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

Oh...*head/wall* I'm...*head/desk*

I didn't read past the Q&A. Didn't realize there was an epilogue.

No need for an explanation, dear.

The Australia bit was rather pointless and suspiciously looked like fan wank. t:

 

[Coldqueen]

ROFLMAO...maybe someone snuck in at the printers and tossed it in as a joke?

 

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

Dunno, Mike might be able to joke about Roguey, but his affection for the character ain't one.

That, and it's no doubt a gimmick to try keeping the deprived Roguey buying the book.

 

[Not_Sane]

still no reason for what her character is doing?

 

[DJSCARLET]

Apparently, writer Grant Morrison originally wanted to kill off Rogue during the Weapon X storyline only to bring her back as a "reinvented" darker version of herself. Obviously, he wasn't granted the use of that character and Rogue was given to a different writer.

I would have LOVED to see that, I always liked the idea of Rogue turning "dark" or "evil". Any chances of carey doing that?

 

[Canemacar]

He means he wanted to remove the spunk and focus more on the angst. Not exactly a good idea when your talking about a character like rogue who's always in danger of an angst overdose.

 

[DJSCARLET]

Really? :-(
Dude, why did you have to tell me that?
anyway, carey seems like he will be using the "more angst" card on Rogue now.
still, the idea of Rogue turning evil still is a good idea, to me at least.

Rogue is back to green and yellow Jim Lee uniform

 

[Not_Sane]

I've always been a fan of the yellow and green uniform with her brown jacket.

 

[Coldqueen]

No, no, noooo...

Green and yellow uniform with GAMBIT'S trench.

That's the only way to wear it, *****ez.

 

[StormLegend]

Rogue is back to green and yellow Jim Lee uniform

YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I simply ADORE that costume for her. It absolutely reflects her personality a lot better than all the rest because it's fun and cool.

Thanks so much for the pic, honey, it's gorgeous.

Now let's just hope she gets her flight and superstrength back. Some nice X-story centered on her would be great too.
