What I'm going to do with this

[tzipwich]

Okay, for reals.

I think LJ is going to start becoming my real life journal (since I doubt my real life friends will be moving here) and this one will be more of a fandomy thing. I'm not really in fandom anymore--I don't read/write fic (except for that one Roswell one that I haven't given up on)--but I like discussing shows. Although really, it depends on how the DW community turns out.

Alias sounds interesting! I think I'll check it out.

I noticed that Emma wasn't portrayed in the best light in New Mutants, but I forgave it because it was told from the point of view of the students, who are completely biased when it comes to which teachers they like best.

Mekanix also sounds interesting. Also, I forgot to say, I read the part of Uncanny X-Men where Scott and Madelyne meet and get married.

I just posted links to Excalibur on LJ for you. :) I also have much of Alias uploaded and will put that up soon, too. And you should wait to read Mekanix until after you're done with "Excalibur."

Well. I can't be expected to like characters who are hating on Emma now, can I? ;) By the time I started reading New Mutants, everyone else on my FL was hating and leaving, so that possibly rubbed off on me a bit, too.

I enjoyed Madelyne because she did well with all the insanity and chaos of X-men that got thrown at her. She wasn't a hero like them, but she was heroic in her own way and Marvel failed to see that and totally sacrificed her at the altar of the Jean/Scott OTP.

Yay! Maybe after I finish with the two finals I have tomorrow I'll read some Excalibur.

Not all the characters hated on Emma! Wither specifically wanted to switch into her group because she was better able to relate to him than Dani, and Julian has the cutest idol-worship thing going on. Surge didn't like Emma, but Surge doesn't like anyone and she pisses me off. And Cess was mad at Emma after Wither ran away, but I think that's valid on her end and I think she [Cessily] still likes her [Emma], she's just upset is all.
