Writing naturally charismatic characters is certainly not her strong suit. xD

Nate X said...

Oh God... the art is so ugly. Those faces, Jesus.

randybear said...

Wow that art is pretty bad and he draws a weak butterfly I hate how it's still drawn in pieces. Can't see this crap lasting more than 5 issues unless Marvel wants to bleed money

X-Man said...

I still don't get how Tini knows so much about Betsy and still can't get her personality down smh.

randybear said...

Remember she has stated that essentially what came before her run was wrong as only men have written Betsy (save for LH mini) she also self indulged and said the ray Betsy kiss was the most romantic moment in all of the xbook history 😆

X-Man said...

Which makes no sense as she writes men too lol.

By that logic she wouldn't know how to write Gambit or "A" (who is who she really wanted to write a story about, not Betsy lol).

It's interesting if that is what she thought about that kiss, I remember Warren/Betsy having a similar moment at a nightclub and the buildup/moment to their first kiss was 100 times better imho.

It sucks that this will be the first time I won't be buying Betsy material since Dissasembled, but I can't do another round of this writing style anymore. I'm not into D&D and magic like she is Smh!

Yeah, folks over at Activision and Nintendo aren't even professional comic book writers, but it was important for them to invest time and resources in capturing the right voices for the superheroes featured in their video games. Just take 30 seconds off your time to listen to this clip, and compare it to the lines in those scans:

Yeah they did a great job with her in X-Men Next Dimension too. I used to play that all the time. They even had 2 versions of Betsy up there. A telepathic or telekinetic version.(it was before she had both). Definitely had her personality & powers down. Loved when she called her opponents "Thoroughly Disappointing" lol.

why tini howard and artist did show more of in bed scene - i bet rachel is the dom

Unknown said...

This isn't worth the download

randybear said...

I always viewed Betsy as a Dom bottom lol I'm sure Rachel has topping duty here but Betsy probably dictates how it goes down 😁

Love Disney and Marvel put money in the sewers bucks and toilet paper are interchangeable.

Unknown said...

it was worst than i tought. Absolutely boring. The art was wahhh

Lindsay said...

randybear - rachel summers definitely wears the strap on

As a straight guy, that writes bi- and gay women in my comics a lot, it amazes me how cringe an actual queer woman, writing BI-sexual characters, does it so horribly. But that's what happens when you write fanfiction for your podcast homie.
Man, I wish Marjorie lieu or G. Willow was writing her.

randybear said...

Agreed. It's sad they're limiting who can write Betsy due to her sexuality. There's zero depth to her relationship with Rachel. Betsy pretty much ignored Rachel up until they kissed in KoX. All through Excalibur Rachel just ran around worrying about Betsy while Betsy stayed stumbling and aloof

I made the mistake of posting a comment on CBR, and they have a member there who is really into defending Tini. They pop up in every thread. Gonna have to go back to not commenting. I made a post about how Tini seems to bring her issues into her writing, and it wasn't a personal attack, but that person was basically like, "Admins here don't like that, and I should limit my stuff to the work, which I did. I also mentioned that I knew people like to report others who aren't fans of the thing or writer, they love.
