In which Gambit is fundamentally goofy; t’ieves love research; Magneto was ripped; Professor Xavier remains a jerk; Miles attempts to convey something very fundamentally visual in an audio format; Marrow is adorable; the X-Men pretty much disband (again); and a miniseries is the opposite of a vacation.

“They get a mini-series. That’s the opposite of a vacation.”
Yikes. That’s so true it hurts.
I think – considering the fact that it lifted its name from Portland, ME – Portland, OR could argue that it’s whole name-aesthetic is lifted names.
Anyway, adding Mary Purcell to the list of characters that would’ve been really fun to see on Krakoa (along with Larry Bodine and the mutants the Brood turned in the 230s story).
I’m begging Miles to look up Dinosaurs for Hire. You might think your imagination is better than it could be, but I’m telling you the reality is better than you could EVER imagine
So Jay…
