@lucianovecchio.bsky.social @kierongillen.bsky.social hi, random q! i was looking thru gustave doré's illustrations of the divine comedy + this one reminded me so much of the ROPOX finale that i wanted to ask whether it/the scene illustrated was a point of inspiration or intentional reference!

i think it's incredibly important for news media to talk about ableist language becoming socially acceptable across the cultural/sociopolitical landscape actually.
did anyone of yall even read the article or did yall just react in bad faith. rhetorical question, i already know

i talked about this not long ago on twitter, the way that scott's failure in that storyline wasn't communicating that his approach was wrong, but that the carceral + mutantphobic systems around them would never allow it to run its course #xspoilers #xmen

issue not out yet so im holding judgement but its crazy to see scott espouse carceral sentiments when he was so deeply against that in ucxm v3, to the point of making the radical choice to empathize w/ + protect a mutant who had killed so many + could destroy the world #xspoilers #xmen

QUESTION FOR COMIC ARTISTS!
is it good (or neutral?) to have redraws of an existent comic page in your sequential art portfolio?
by "redraws" i mean a complete reimagining of a comic page or comic script drawn/written by another creator (examples ⬇️)
shares appreciated so i can get more answers!

its impossible to be "moral" as we classically understand it in an oppressed world. the last will + testament of charles xavier shows us that while scott's anti-carceral position could succeed, oppressive systems refuse to let that happen. ultimately what "saves" them is the amoral: violence #xmen

charles responds to questions constantly asked about his choices — relaying the impossible choices, the sin of inaction, a telepath's *need* for moral limits — as scott emphasizes the pain, lies, + betrayal that inspires these questions in the 1st place. a cyclical exchange. PEAK #xmen
