yeah I was including Charles - the whole set up for the series is the death of Prof X after all, and I was including Storms loss of powers as a 'death of the goddess' too.Actually, I don't see any characters who've come back from the dead as of this ep (unless you count Charles, which I never did, knowing the storyline), though there's strong implications of at least one soon.
But we know he didn't die from the end of the first series. He was just whisked away to magical alien land for super tech healing.yeah I was including Charles - the whole set up for the series is the death of Prof X after all
Classic Xavier moment, if you are familiar with the comics, lolIts actually kind of a dick move on Charles' part...
I will say my only complaint in this episode is that they continue this Sailor Moon magical girl transformation where costumes literally appear out of thin air. That is a weird choice that is definitely a phenomenon of the new show rather than the old.
It is at the end of the day a minor nitpick.
The hair, I’ll give you that. But Storm used to go from civvies to uniform in the crackle of lightning back in the Dave Cockrum days of the new X-Men comic books. So the uniform thing isn’t new by a long shot.The uniform thing was surprising, yes, but I would be more concerned about her full hair coming out of thin air.
To be clear, I was a big Mooninite back in the day. Its not that magical girl transformations are "bad" implicitly, but in Sailor Moon they are the result of magic. Its in the lore of the world.You say Sailor Moon transformation-like as if that is a bad thing when I consider it one of the highest compliment animation-wise. I was commenting to some friends the other day that, on a recent rewatch, OG Sailor Moon remains an incredible series, and that Usagi's transformation into Sailor Moon is still, to this day, one of the most iconic and awe-inspiring segments of animation and visual storytelling I've ever seen put to screen.
For Jean, they may be drawing from what she used to do in the comics as Phoenix where she could make clothing out of thin air. And once you've got a cool visual of something, that's the method you continue on with...As far as I know, Storm and Jean don't have mutant abilities to create clothing out of thin air, which is why it was jarring to me, it seems to defy the established lore of the world we are presented.
