Living Here In Pandatown

So people are still talking about One More Day? {Well, still screaming about it, yes. But now we've got the people telling the screamers to calm down, or just shut up, and I find them more annoying.} Really? {The screamers are passionate. Frighteningly so, but the passion is endearing on a certain level. The ones telling them to shut up are giving off that faux-hipster, "cooler than you" attitude like it was a serious case of B.O. Besides, they're being morons. Telling people to stop talking about One More Day only encourages those people to comment about why they're still talking about it, which turns it into another fit of screaming about it. It's a self-perpetuating cycle.} I guess so. Are you screaming? {Nah. I'm just sad, and a little amused by the mess they seem to have made, which I am also confused by. We should probably move on, though it's likely that the comments on this post will be flooded by people who want to complain/discuss that story. We really shouldn't have mentioned it by name.} Sorry. {It's OK. I did it too. We'll just soldier on.}

Right! Well, maybe if we start with hugs, it will make people happy, and no one will want to scream or complain. {Yeah. Good luck with that.} You have to believe! Clap if you believe! {What, are we in Peter Pan now? Will I be able to fly soon?} Not with that attitude. {Rats.} Hug for Jamie Madrox, who got blown up, and now has a stupid tattoo to remember his trip by. And a Hug for Layla, because she's stuck in the future. I hope they remember to go get her after Messiah CompleX is over. {Me too. I wonder what the other Jamie's up to, in that other future?} Probably getting shot at, Marvel future's always seem to be bad. I think Gamora needed a Hug, because she was kind of sad at times during this last issue. Nova should have told her why he stopped spending time around her, instead of just trying to stay away from her. {But he figured he was the only one with any serious feelings about the relationship, so she wouldn't care. But as I recall, Rich also bailed on Namorita when she turned blue the first time, so he's got a track record of running when the interpersonal stuff gets too heavy.} Well that's not right.

Bonk for Nova then, for bailing on Namorita and Gamora. {So we're handing out retroactive bonks now?} Well, I'm still Bonking Tony Stark for Sallyp, even though he hasn't always done something that particular week, so yeah, I guess so. {OK then. Just making sure.} Hmm, Bonk for Bishop. I know his future is bad, but I'm not sure what he's going to do if he gets his hand on that baby. {I know, he'll take it into the future, where it'll be treated for exposure to the techno-organic virus that it was probably exposed to from being around Cable, and then it'll return to the present to to kill Cable, and become. . . Cable!} That doesn't make any sense! {We're talking about the X-Men, and time travel. Nothing ever makes sense. Not to me, anyway.}

I am going to Applaud Nova, because he didn't abandon Gamora, and even though he might be dead really soon, he's still trying to finish the mission he gave himself. {Yep, all the best heroes in the Marvel Universe are somewhere other than Earth. As long as you don't count The Seven Cities of Heaven as being on Earth, and if you figure that Deadpool is just weird enough to not actually exist on 616-Earth. Somehow.} You're counting Deadpool as a hero? {Certainly more of one than the Mighty Avengers. He gave his soul, part of it, so T-Ray might live. Truly noble.} I think Layla should get some Applause, because she was clever to steal that grenade, and she knew she had to send Jamie back, even if it left here there alone. {Geez, I really hope they go back and get her soon.}
