why not Forge? or Kitty?
i love them, and i'm so happy that they're finally having major roles in a TV show and not some annoying valley girl version or used randomly for no reason.
See, I agree. Forge and Kitty do FAR more than Colossus in this show. Plaster THEIR mugs all over. It'd be accurate and fair.
As for "the valley girl routine" from EVOLUTION, I admit that I wasn't too put off at the time. I remembered that when Kitty was created in 1980, she was usually into every vapid teenager fad that existed back then, from rollar skates to pop music to atrocious wardrobe decisions that not even Madonna would have been caught in. To me, the "valley girl" thing was just a year 2000 attempt to rework that for a modern audience. She still was very sweet, and could be smart & cunning when she applied herself, which is what makes Kitty cool. In WOLVERINE AND THE X-MEN she is sassier, more akin to a Kim Possible, which I suppose is also fine, even if a bit played out by 2009.
Once again. With animated shows you still get releases like this.
I know. I acknowledged and lamented that in the post above.
Colossus is popular, and Squidboy isn't an X-man.
But that is what tugs at my fanboy heart. If Colossus is popular enough to promote, why isn't he popular enough to be written into episodes? I just don't understand it. Like
newwave said, why not plaster Forge and Shadowcat instead more often? They actually play decent, at times vital roles in episodes. Colossus is almost a blink-and-miss cameo. It's almost false advertising to plaster his mug on so many posters, menus, and ads for the show.
