If there is one thing to thank Steve Orlando for - it's for showing Luna gets the snark from her dad's side of the family š
For real though both of them were great this issue.
Hopefully we get more Luna in the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver series (and finally see Tommy and/or all the magnet siblings interact).
Marvel - please let Pietro wear blue again.
Hey there is a comic book shipping where you suggest a ship then people vote, have you heard of it?
I have not...what exactly is it??
Drew the girl for the first time in a while :3
Fabian Cortez just wants to be ANYONE'S nemesis and NOBODY wants him and it is the FUNNIEST thing and it will be funny until THE DAY I DIE. He's ridiculous and I love him.
Quicksilver when picking a nemesis:
After reading the "Layla Miller is Luna Maximoff" stuff I went and looked at her Wiki article to re-familiarize myself with the character and found this bit: "During the Superhero Civil War, Quicksilver makes repeated attempts to enter X-Factor Investigations Headquarters. Each time, he is thwarted by Layla, whom Quicksilver comes to consider his nemesis." FABIAN IS SCREAMING! PIETRO ACKNOWLEDGES THE *TEEN GIRL* AS HIS NEMESIS BUT NOT HIM?! THE OUTRAGE!! XD
Yes, but she *might* be his magically-created substitute daughter from an alternate reality, so accepting her as his nemesis is a really Magneto-like thingĀ for Pietro to do. Cortez should be thrilled! Finally, Quicksilver is on the path to true love villainy. Heāll probably need a scheming advisor for that, right? Perhaps some dashing fellow with fabulous hair and a cape? :D
we're going insane tonight (aka thinking about my little characters)
@cosmicrayed-aā
Well I hope that his hair being black is all he changed (even though I highly doubt it). I was hoping for some kind of, you know, good character arc for Franklin before he got them back. Where he realizes that he doesnāt needĀ his powers to live his life and be a hero. but I guess not :/ ugh
Does anyone know if Franklin got his powers back in Fantastic Four #45? Like for good? Iām confusedā¦
This artwork is horrifying. Franklin looks like a short forty year old man when heās supposed to be a toddler š
So Iām basically just writing this for me and just because maybe I can get other people into the ship⦠And quick disclaimer, some of these points are based off things that I am inferring from the characters because they really have not been delved into enough.
This is basically a list of reasons why Franklin and Luna would work together well and some other points about the nature of the ship itself.Ā
Beware that this will probably be a little scattered.
Childhood friends to lovers. Thatās the ship dynamic.Ā I am honestly amazed that nobody has thought to ship this before (from what I can tell) because Luna and Franklin for years have been the two main superhero children. Their families have always been shown to be close and likely they played together as children, not to mention that they were both part of the Future Foundation at one point.
Background. Both Franklin and Luna grew up in tumultuous situations. They both know what itās like to be the children of superheroes and to be held back because their parents wanted to protect them. (Though Franklin has not been cooped up his entire life, heās been allowed to explore, where Luna has not.) Both of them have similar experiences, having been kidnapped multiple times by supervillains fighting their parents (which I headcanon they both have PTSD from).
Family. Both Luna and Franklin are specifically tied to their families. The Fantastic Four is Marvelās First Family and is portrayed as a close, loving family. Luna is the only daughter of Crystal, the Inhuman princess, whose family suffers from constant infighting, and also is the daughter of Quicksilver, making her the granddaughter of Magneto (the retcon can choke). Lunaās family is anything but stable. Franklin and Lunaās family lives are opposites. Luna has practically no support from her family while Franklin suffers from too much support (in his humble teenage opinion lol). In this way they contrast and compliment each other. Itās also likely that both of them have instilled in them a strong sense family values and a want for a stable, peaceful family, which is something they have in common
Personality. Franklin (at least in the current FF run) is very cynical. Growing up the son of superheroes seems to have finally gotten to him. Heās jaded and definitely āgoing through a phaseā. But underneath that is the boy he used to be. Someone with creativity, hope and bravery. Luna is someone who, even though she has gone through so much, has kept her kindness. She is emotionally intelligent (due to her empathy powers) and can look past someoneās outer exterior to their hearts. Underneath everything, both of them are tired kids, who somehow have managed to keep their hearts despite everything. Luna seems to have an easier time of this. But of course she hasnāt lived on earth her whole life and is still enamored by the idea of the ocean. She might be able to help Franklin see the beauty in the ordinary as to her itās very extraordinary. But at the same time, Franklin might help to ground her more optimistic outlook on the world and together they could come to a happy balance.
And both of them are lonely. Now this is where we get into āinferring territoryā because it has never been explicitly said of either of them. But in the current FF run we have seen Franklin completely isolated. He no longer has his best friend Leech with him or any of the Future Foundation members. Heās been banned from Krakoa because heās not really a mutant (*curses Dan Slott*). The only people he has around him is his family. And from personal experience I can say that even the most kind and supportive family cannot always fill that lonely ache that comes late at night. And as for Lunaā¦oh poor Luna. She has only ever had one friend, Adolf Impossible, who was never seen again and she went to Braddock Academy for a few weeks but did not go back. She lives on Attilan with her family, none of which are her age. Her only friend really seems to be Lockjawā¦and heās a dog⦠(Of course I headcanon that sheās quite close with her cousin Ahura, but thatās never been shown.) But Luna is lonely. And so is Franklin. And I figure that upon meeting each other as teenagers again, they would find some solace in one another as friends. (and in the fanfics Iām writing they are friends for a long time before getting romantic).
Note. One other thing I want to note is that Luna should not be some manic pixie dream girl to make all of Franklinās fantasies come true and make his life better without contributing to hers. If anything, heās the one fulfilling her dreams of being part of a big happy family (as opposed to her big dysfunctional family). Both Luna and Franklin have trauma and issues. They are not there to fix each other. Theyāre both going on journeys, on parallel paths that eventually converge.
Extra Reasons.
they both have glowy eyes so thatās frickinā awesome
Luna just came out of comics limbo and looks to be about the same age as Franklin now based on her appearance
If they get married I get to tie together my two favourite Marvel families (Fantastic Four and Magnetoās Family)
Theyāre both rich kids.
They pass my vibe check and thatās whatās important
They both have been through so much and they deserve some happiness
I love them both and why shouldnāt I ship it?
And thatās it. <3 Feel free to message me if this brings you onto the ship. I am shipping them all by myself over here and enjoying it immensely.
