X-Men Writer Matthew Rosenberg to Leave/Mostly Leave Twitter

Ed Brisson, Matthew Rosenberg and Kelly Thompson have been sharing the writing of the first eleven issues of the relaunched Uncanny X-Men, which has been shipping weekly. On February 20th the next issue, issue twelve, ships with Matthew Rosenberg taking over the series solo and it then shipping biweekly.

The 'Iceman reveal' is my theory that not only were the time-displaced 05 from an alternate reality, but current adult Iceman is an adult version of alt-reality-young-Iceman. That he is in fact from Old Man Logan's timeline... and it's not just him! That actually Eva Bell rewrote the main-616 timeline into Old Man Logan's timeline. And she's continued to alter it since. It's all there in the comics, people are just missing it. I've been trying to guess the point when it gets revealed and right now I'm guessing the "Uncanny X-Men Winter's End" one-shot staring Iceman next month will be it.

I've got stuff scattered all over the forum about it, but I'm planning a big thread to put it all together in the coming weeks.

Eva Bell

I feel like KT kind of sold Gambit fans a bill of goods in saying she was a fan of the character as well as Rogue. It's more like she's a fan of the character as a pairing for Rogue rather than a character in his own right. You can like Lois Lane with Superman/Clark Kent and not really be that into Lois by herself and wanting to develop and tell her story. It's kind of like some writers have said they are a fan of Iceman, but they mainly have him standing around making jokes because that's what they really are a fan of, not the larger fullness of the character.

I think KT identifies as a feminist. It's been my experience that women who self-label themselves as a feminist(and MOST women don't for a reason) usually have a primary/only interest in female characters. When they do focus on male characters, they generally seem to sideline or emasculate them in some way.

Feminists generally seem to treat gender and gender issue like religious fanatics/zealots treat religion. Even if they are not over-the-top-radicalized about it, it still usually presents itself in some significant way. They tend to write more for a feminist and liberal audience and not ordinary women and men.

Personally, I hate it when a self-described feminist takes over a previously strong, interesting and popular female character and suddenly starts writing her as a feminist... making the story ALL about showing how empowered she is as a woman, heaping endless praise on her(no one likes that with any character) for being such a strong woman, generally treating male characters like an accessory or emasculating them, and constantly spouting liberal political jargon while making almost everything about her gender. And when fans, men and women alike, then abandon the character - they blame the fans! They made Carol Danvers less popular by doing that and Mockingbird toxic, two characters I USE to be a fan of.

It's like with fanfic, people who are overly fans of something often do a terrible job with writing it because they have a skewed perception of it and output a skewed presentation. Imagine for a second if Alien with Sigorney Weaver had been made by some current 'woke' feminist. Instead of a classic with one of the best female heroes in film history, it would be totally unwatchable, and sadly they wouldn't even understand why.
