More cope from the anti-Betsy crowd. Instead of being content and supporting the current X-titles, these same accounts who have spent years spreading hate-fuelled misinformation and pushing anti-Betsy propaganda are now doing everything they can to discredit and slander the people involved with the Psylocke: Ninja solo. It’s genuinely wild to watch.
Betsy’s name stays in rotation, her legacy continues to expand, and her ninja origin is getting a fresh retelling designed to welcome newer readers into her story. And that, more than anything, is what they don’t want because it directly undermines their tired narrative that she’s a “bad person” who deserves to be erased.
Too bad. I’m going to enjoy every minute of these next five months.
Where is all this drama playing out? Like on what platform? 😆 I don’t use much social media, and am genuinely curious to see it. I often think that a lot of fandom would do well with a brief stay in a nice sanitarium where they’d receive in-patient therapy.
That may or may not be the reason. He could have deleted it just because X is a toxic environment filled with bigotry and false information masquerading as news. Personally, that is the reason why I refuse to join.
The great Xitter exodus happened months ago. It's a bit convenient that Selly would have waited now just as he writes Betsy as the dumdum Kwannon fans take issue to leave that hellscape.
Good for him twatter X is full of poisonous grifters posing as Revanche stans perpetuating the lie Betsy is a nasty colonizer. Let them revel in their echo chamber sticking their heads in each others bottoms and patting themselves on their shoulders while their signaling is still trending
The idea that Besty waking up in a body not her own MUST make her a colonizer is and has always been so culturally ignorant and illiterate. Only westerners could screech at that. Meanwhile, ‘isekai’ is literally one of the most popular genres of Japanese stories where characters wake up in bodies and lives not their own.
Betsy deserves all of it mini and more. Long time coming a story about Betsy and Elektra two non Asian females used as weapons by the Hand what's in common about them. Revanche ain't holding a candle to this story she is the bish who betrayed her faction for a Hand b@$t@rd and got what she deserved and to be fair she didn't even existed in the Claremont dream of Betts becoming a ninja.
Not sure that I will purchase this as I have everything since Hickman left after Inferno to be largely uninteresting. And this new post-Krakoa era has felt so much like they are trying to recapture the 90s (with way too many books… Quantity over quality) that I really haven’t enjoyed it and canceled my entire pull list. (Too expensive a habit to not find it enjoyable.). That being said, I’ll be curious to hear from all of you if this mini keeps to the canon that Betsy thinks this is her own body even if the Matsu’o, the Hand and Mandarin really know about Kwannon and keep it from her and if Spiral and Mojo’s machinations will also be part of the story since they played a part. One of my favorite issues of this story from the late 80s was the first issue of Acts of Vengeance where we see Psylocke’s brainwashing and throughout how Mojo and Spiral are spectating. At the time, we didn’t know how much of that was Betsy’s subconscious figuring them into what she was experiencing or if they were actively involved in the brainwashing. That question still remains unanswered (we know Spiral tricked Matsu’o and did the body swap without his permission), so I’m curious to hear if Seely addresses it.

DeleteYou can look anywhere and find it - Twitter, Reddit, forums. Kwannon fans are willfully ignorant garbage people.
DeleteThe entry in LOCG tops everything, they act as if Wong's Psylocke run is some sequel to War and Peace or something.

Reading that has actually made me dumber. Yeesh.
DeleteYikes but not unexpected from them. Lol
DeleteFair point lol
DeleteTim Seeley just deleted his Twitter account. Another creator ran off social media.

DeleteNot to mention, it is against my value system to support an Elon Musk endeavor. Seely may have decided similarly.
