Forgot To Mention That I’m Annoyed By Franklin’s Hair Now Being Permanently Black... I Think It’s

forgot to mention that I’m annoyed by Franklin’s hair now being permanently black... I think it’s just stupid. “It’s just how I feel, mom, I’m an emo now and forever.” But more than that it took away a core part of his character design and I don’t like it personally. It think it would have been fun to see him stop dying it at some point as a character development thing, but again nooo

So I just read Fantastic Four (2018) #45. And wow. I was already ready to be disappointed, but it just sucks so bad.

First, the whole Reckoning War storyline was terrible (which I was expecting it to be since it’s Dan Slott). Especially for what it did to Reed. Reed was just allowing himself to act like a terrible human being since he thought he was going to die. He did and said terrible things. And now that’s all just going to be swept under the rug and ignored? Like is Reed going to face no consequences for his actions? But more than that I’m so tried of Reed being written like a terrible human being. Yes, Reed has a hard time with empathy and emotions sometimes, but that doesn’t mean he’s a literal sociopath. There are ways to write Reed that have him still come off as a likeable character. See Jonathan Hickman’s FF run. (My favourite run.) I feel like Reed hasn’t been himself for years and it just makes me so sad.

Second, the whole thing with Johnny’s increased powers is so annoying and I’m tired of it. I mean, Johnny has not been written well for a while and this has just turned him into a whiny hothead. (Which he sometimes is, but that’s ignoring all the character growth he’s had over the years.) And now he’s gone off to live with Sky… *long sigh* I never really liked her as a girlfriend to Johnny. She’s a fine character on her own, but I really hope they don’t get back together…

Third, the thing that is making me the most annoyed. Franklin. I had hopes for Franklin. I did. But now it looks like his powers have returned. And there was basically no point to taking them away because he has learned no lesson from losing them. I have said in previous posts that I hoped that Franklin would learn that even without his powers he can live his life and be a hero, but if he has really gotten them back, there has been no development. Franklin has continually been in the same grumpy mindset of “I used to be a god” and nothing has changed. I wanted them to commit to his powers being gone and have him learn other ways to help the FF. But no. Because we can’t have nice things. And now Franklin is still a bratty kid with a God complex that he never used to have. And he’s still not a mutant again (which is a whole other post).

In conclusion, I am tried. T I R E D

OOooooo I'm a big supporter of this!!!! While my personal headcanon/fanfiction is that Luna joins the Fantastic Four after marrying Franklin, it is very unlikely to ever happen. Joining the Young Avengers or going to Strange Academy is much more likely to happen and a great place for her! Honestly, I just want to see her more, I don't even care where they put her lol

I like the magic route for her best just because I think it would be cool see how magic interacted with her Inhuman aura reading/empath powers, and I think the aesthetic is more like her. And if Luna goes this route, I think it would be cool to see if Franklin has any magic affinity from when Agatha Harkness was his nanny. But we'll see! I just hope they have the good sense to use their legacy characters. Marvel really just loves to sideline children who have the potential to become really good characters and heroes :/

Luna Maximoff Marvel Future

So Luna is a pretty popular character, reaching most of the Marvel fan base thanks to the many connections she has, even though she doesn't get used that much. Marvel loves to bring out the next young hero so why not have one who is known yet can also be developed, letting her have a shot at something and there are 2 paths that come to mind.

Luna Maximoff Marvel Future

That would be the Avengers path, first the Young Avengers later on joining a different Avengers group most likely Uncanny. The other would be the Magic path, as it is revealed one per-generation of the Maximoff line takes on Witchcraft powers and holds a Scarlet Title, so have her be the next inheritor going to Strange Academy while getting private lessons from Wanda.

Ok now that 2 paths are out there what about a costume, most superheroes wear some kind of costume and she has a family full of them. Well I would put costume in 3 sections. Design, Colour, and Attributes. The design would be leaning to the Inhumans, she is a literal Princess for them. Plus her mother's family seems to have a theme that she could follow

A prime colour, with black trim, and a given name symbol on the waist

Crystal = Diamond Medusa = M So Luna could be a Crescent, as for colours I would look to her father for this

Switching out the Black trim for white, as for the Prime I think it should depend on the path she would be on. I would go green for the Avengers, and Blue for Magic. Now Attributes to really scream Avengers or Magic.

If Avengers then wear her mother's Avenger's jacket, a real passing of the torch moment.

If Magic, then Red/Scarlet like Romani articles of clothing. She would adopt these not just with her costume but also everyday clothing as well. Since she would be at Strange Academy and while they have a uniform it does look to have some customization.

So powers, as an Inhuman who has gone through Terrigenesis she has gained powers that in the form of empathic aura reading and control.

But this has given also some precog abilities. It has not been explained how this is, but I think it might be she sees the future someone is leaning to the most based on their emotional state.

Luna Maximoff Marvel Future

She holds a high amount of Inhuman DNA so will have their advanced bodies even before Terrigenesis, as well has received martial training from the likes of Karnak. Of course if she goes the magic path then Witchcraft will be a birthright as much as her Inhuman gifts. Witchcraft a magic that connects to a Goddess and the Earth.

Now while all of these are good things for a hero path to have she doesn't feel at least right now a solo act. Teams and Companions will be important part to her, and how she will act with either the Young Avengers and Strange Academy will depend on who could/should/will be there, but I do know someone who could get added to these Franklin Richards.

Currently depowered him getting his own new path could work here. For the Young Avengers give him a suit like the Thing Suit + Thing Rings, but make it something that connects to the other three Fantastic Four members letting him take on their powers though it being weaker. Each of the main members of the Fantastic Four have been part of the Avengers so he captures still the Young Avengers theme. If magic, well Agatha Harkness was his nanny maybe her recommendation to try plus get into the academy could work here, him learning Quantum Magic, still leaning into the F4's more science connections but looking at it another way.

Their families are close so they know each other and depending on who is on the teams they would most likely have the closest connections with each other, perhaps even moving from friendship to romance.

franklin should be shorter than valeria when they're all grown up. tbh. like he's almost an adult in canon rn n was shorter than wolverine im just saying. it's fun if he's got the same stocky build i always imagine sue & johnny with and valeria gets reed's awkward lankiness.

Have I ever told y’all how I started ironically shipping Johnny Storm and Lorna Dane because they were the cool uncle and cool aunt to Franklin Richards and Luna Maximoff respectively? And have I ever told you how at some point it became completely unironic and I can’t stop? 

As far as I know, they’ve never spoken. They have no canon dynamic, but I imagine it to be a very fun vibe since they’re both very cool people. 

reblog and put in the tags your rarest pairing, their canon dynamic (if they’ve ever interacted), and what it is about them that makes you ship them

That's a good point, they are more of a science based society.

Ohhh I didn't even think of that! I always forget about Agatha being Franklin's nanny, but that would be a fun direction to go in if they don't give Franklin his god powers back! (And of course I'll take anything that gives Franklin and Luna something in common lol)

Okay, I know this is Sailor Moon, but sometimes this is how I picture Luna Maximoff?? The colours and the outfit are so her.

Also she canonically likes shojo anime [FF (2013) #12] so there's no way she's not a Sailor Moon fan
