X-POSITION: Gillen Wraps "Uncanny X-Men"
Я определенно влюбилась на всю жизнь *______* Гиллену я прощу все, что угодно за такие слова *_______*
1) Both Iron Man and Cyclops have recently been shown as heroes who would do whatever it takes to win, even if it means becoming the very monsters that they fight against. Since you're writing both of them in "Consequences," will you show the different between the two heroes?
Tony's part in "Consequences," as well as foreshadowing some of the things I'm doing to him in my "Iron Man" run, is used for a different purpose than the straight compare/contrast. I agree with your point, but that's not where I'm using them, mainly as Tony's own ends-justify-the-means moment was a little back. I'm much more interested in the -- ahem -- consequences of "AvX."
1) Loved "AvX: Consequences" but wasn't a huge fan of "AvX." So I ask, how did you view Scott Summers as you wrote this epilogue: a villain or an anti-hero? I ask this as I sensed a duality as Rogers and Logan spoke on how to chart forward for mutants!
I view Scott as the tragic hero of my run. He got everything he wanted at the expense of everything he once held dear. That's a punch in the gut. He was a fantastic character to write.
Do you think Scott was wrong in his stance in "AvX?"
Scott was right in many ways. However it's also worth stressing -- and I suspect this is the thing which most pro-Scott advocates are skirting over -- is that if we did everything like Scott said, the Earth would have been destroyed. Hope wasn't ready. She was ready eventually but that required time.
(That said, there's also the reading that Hope was always fine and could have dealt with it if she had too. I think that's a bit of a reach -- but we'll never know.)
Scott's position was always a fatalistic, providence-heavy one. The Avengers' resistance was all part of the universal plan. Scott taking the Phoenix for as long as he did allowed Hope to be ready. It all worked out.
That's the thing which makes Scott's mono-vision more questionable, for me. By believing it all worked out in the end does mean you remove the possibility that it could have worked out in a better way.
Though I suppose when you've killed your mentor and father figure, that's a question you may want to avoid for as long as possible.
3) Any chance you'd spoil the tone of what that voice that may or may not have been Jean's in "Uncanny X-Men" #19? Accusatory or just some gentle mocking?
I don't think I'd want to provide footnotes to an enigmatic, infinite cosmic force. You should wonder. Hell, Cyclops should too. (с) вот за последнее вообще пять
