Marvel's Voices: Legacy Returns
Chunkylover replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
Thanks. I wasn't sure if they were able to do something like they did with Onslaught and actually connect to the real history of the X-Men. Why do you think Eric the Red would be Mystique? Does that solve something for you, or just put her origin somewhere? I never understood that persona anyway. Why and how did Cyclops do it in the first place, why did it become a separate entity during the Phoenix storyline, and then become Magneto in the 90's. -
I have no idea what is happening in this video. It's so fast moving. This looks interesting. I might actually try to watch it. Did they give away too much of the plot though?
-
The art looks nice. Beast is an improvement. I never liked his face that was as broad as a bus. I prefer the weird "Wolverine" hair to be swept back more than sticking straight out.

Meggan is kind of weird looking, but I definitely like these figures. I would say the least fitting is Nightcrawler. At least the women figures bear hints of Alan Davis. Nightcrawler looks like an anime drawing.

Really? That's sort of interesting. Is this something that goes back a ways? I mean, the signals that they reference in this Snapshots issue. -
Good. I hope so. I didn't expect it to sell so quickly. I was hoping there was a precedent.
-
So did I. Any hope it will be reissued that you know of?
-
Didn't the show end somewhat weakly with weird animation? I think I saw something about it in some video review. They covered a lot of stories from the 80's and 90's in heavily abridged ways. I wonder what might be left from that era. I wonder if they could maintain the feel and just write new stories altogether. I just hope they keep the themes relatively simple and can avoid the zeitgeist of today.

Me too. I believe she actually wore that in the comics as well, while in Russia fighting the Soul Skinner, if I'm not mistaken. I think it's in X-Men 17. I would like that version. Another would be de-iced Iceman in his blue X-Men uniform. Toy-biz did it as a variant. I wish I had that.

For those who have read the X-Men from Claremont's first run to today, do they still read contiguously? When I read in the 90's, they still seemed to be part of the same continuity. I know there have been a billion reboots since the 90's, and especially in light of the HOX/POX reboot, if one picked up an X-Men book from the 80's, 90's, 00's, 10's, and today would they feel like the same characters?

Some of those costumes are unattractive, but I know artists have to change things up from time to time. It makes it more significant when vintage looks are still being used, like Forge, Banshee, and Marrow. It's hard to make something fresh and timeless.
-
How so?
-
Yes. I really liked that concept when I saw it with Moira. It would be nice if the Love Triangle Cyclops had that as an option.

But wasn't it only in the AoA that Morph and Changeling were identified as alternate versions of each other? Do you think the Animated series Morph was intended to be an update of Changeling? An example of a good retcon, I think.
