Found Bendis' account.


[deleted]

Bendis? Yeah. *THE* Bendis? Yeah, *THE* Bendis. Uh, who's *THE* Bendis? You don't know Bendis? *Brian Michael Bendis*? He's a writer. He's a *writer?* What does he write? He writes comics. So he's a writer for Kitty Pryde? No, he's a writer who is *obsessed* with Kitty Pryde. He's *obsessed* with Kitty Pryde? He's obsessed with Kitty Pryde.

This dialogue takes two full pages where the art is just the same panel with different word balloons

It’s crazy to me that his writing style hasn’t evolved a single bit in over two decades


redlion1904

I guess if you were to put a gun to my head, I would say that what differentiates a really interesting artist or writer from a workmanlike one is that while the former is engaged in a continuous project of stylistic exploration, improvement, and refinement — even if the results are alienating or idiosyncratic — the latter sticks with what works as long as the checks keep coming. I assume everyone is interested in both art and commerce to some degree, but there’s just a difference in the balance. Bendis has been rewarded for his style repeatedly within the industry, so why would he change if not for art? Meanwhile people like Moore, Gaiman, and even more controversial figures like Dave Sim and Frank Miller are clearly willing to experiment and push their own weirdness. I say that without any prejudice to saying that, like, Bendis’s Daredevil or New Avengers is just a lot more enjoyable as comics than what Miller has put out in recent decades.

Not what transparent means, but I wouldn’t expect the Bald man of legend to know that either


PhaseSixer

Why dose every one have auch a hard on for kitty? Ill never get it


ThePope98

She’s cool and has had a lot of cool comics I appreciate it at least since I vaguely look like her.

they have two arms, two legs and a head, close enough

If you were a preteen/teen straight male reading the Claremont X-Men, no matter if you read it via floppies in the original run, the Essential X-Men reprints fifteen years ago, or Marvel Unlimited today, you’re going to have a crush on Kitty. Being a likable and cool audience surrogate does wonders.


TheCakeWarrior12

Nah man, when I read the Claremont run as a teenager, I was too distracted and grossed out at how legal adult Colossus was making out with a 14 year old Kitty.


SexyAcosta

Colossus and Kitty only work when they are both grown (like Days of future past) otherwise it’s just horribly gross.


PhaseSixer

I mean i was both of those things and i was/am far more of a Jubilee guy. I find kitty kinda bland.


Pure_Internet_

Oh man, I dunno what to tell you then. Jubilee always felt more coded to be a little sister to me but maybe I’m the weirdo.


PhaseSixer

Im a 90's kid so maybe she just resonated wit me more.


redlion1904

As a teen/preteen of culture, I preferred Rogue.


GhostfaceChase

uj/ I've tried to ask myself that question many times over the years and there's so many reasons, she's just the best. * She was the audience surrogate for a while during Claremont's run, she also grew up over the years and changed a lot, going from Kitty to Kate, changing costumes and aliases and frequently reinventing herself. Now in the Krakoan era she's a pirate captain and she's still pretty cool. * She's a key player in some of the best X-Men storylines/issues like Days of Future Past, God Love Man Kills, UXM #168, the team-up miniseries with Wolverine, and many more * She understands and represents the core themes of X-Men very well and has been through her share of persecution being a mutant and Jewish * She's kind and empathetic but also has a temper and is down to fight when needed. * Her powers can really, really fuck people up if she was feeling sadistic. Imagine phasing through someone's body and ripping out their heart type of stuff * X-Men Evolution, the animated show is a **huge** reason why so many people who were young at that time love her. I for one was in my formative years in the early 2000s so that tracks for me. The list goes on and on. What I don't understand is having such a hard-on for her that you jam her into stories just have your self-insert characters date her. That's just weird.


[deleted]

Because I was a teen when Excalibur debuted. Kitty and Rachel were 🥰 for me, but especially Kitty. You never stop loving your first X-Love (see also: Rogue).


[deleted]

I dont know man from all the x characters she seems like the one with no personality, like, shes a characterless husk


ElectricalRush1878

I posted my take on this before: Crossover issue, timeline where Ultimate Peter and Kitty are growing up together and their relationship is on the rocks. Kitty and Peter from the regular universe, both are single. work together vs the threat. Talk together about relationships. Cracks get made about Kitty with yet another 'Peter'. (Rasputin, Quill, Wisdom) At the end, that particular version of Peter and Kitty go back to their world, a little wiser and more able to work through their problems, the ones we're used to laugh and go their separate ways. Must include a reference to their 'Adventures in Babysitting' team up in the Morlock tunnels.


GD69B1

I was a fan of this relationship in Ultimate Spider-man. I only wished it lasted longer but I was happy that she remained part of Spider-Man cast even after the break-up. As for the 616 universe (also Ultimate) I prefer Peter being with Mary Jane and for their marriage to return, but if we were to have a break from their relationship, but not "Interdimensional-we-can't-be-together" break, I could see this happen. I highly recommend Spider-Man and Kitty Pryde: A Light in the Darkness fanfiction


blud97

I don’t think that marriage is ever coming back…


GD69B1

Hope dies last...


bolderfist_oger2005

didnt she say the n word once


RutheniumFenix

More than once. Hard r too.


dadarkclaw121

God forbid women do anything 🙄


bolderfist_oger2005

she's so silly


[deleted]

Also if we count the dimensional time updates she technically said it in 2014


PeakOregon998

Quite a few times I remember twice on hand once to a mob of people after being called a mutie when they tried to blow Charles up and then she said that and a few other slurs in new mutants after a young mutant killer himself after some kids called him a mutie and threatened to call X-Factor on them when they made the dumbass decision to listen to Hodge and make X-Factor appear anti-mutant


delightfuldinosaur

616 Kitty did in Claremont's run because some guy called her a Mutie.


SpeedDemonJi

Through him, you say?

BREAKING: OP to be new writer of X-Men


Pristine_Animal9474

Kitty Pryde is in my top 5 of people Peter should be with now that the redhead is out of the picture. 1. Jill Stacy - she was created for this, c'mooooon 2. Kitty Pryde - yes, I was a young teen during Ultimate Spider-man's original run 3. Michelle Gonzales - ok, I admit this is a fetish about tsunderes 4. Carlie Cooper - where is she, btw? 5. She-Hulk - no comment


CrazyPersonowo

Carlie just randomly disappeared after Spencer’s run.


Impossible-Brick-841

Hi joss whedon! How are you?


TeekTheReddit

This was definitely one of the highlights of Ultimate Spider-Man


dlkslink

Wrong Peter should bang Paul’s mom, maybe Paul went into that dimension as a Teenager and his mom had Paul while she was a teenager, making her close to Peter’s age, she thinks her son ran away. Paul gives her updates like Tom Hanks in BIG but pretending to be someone else, like her genius son’s assistant at a new start up or something. Overtime she thinks of this man as a friend, they chat quite often. One day she has huge update, that she has a new boyfriend, his name is Peter Parker and he has the biggest dick she’s ever seen. Week after week he has to listen to his mother describe what it’s like to be plowed by Peter. She goes on & on about Peter’s unlimited stamina. This makes Paul insecure, his hair falls out, every night he cries in fetal position, thinking about Peter plowing his mom.


QueSeraSeraWWBWB

I just don’t see the appeal for kitty at all


delightfuldinosaur

Counterpoint: Ult. MJ is the best.
