Just-a-local-lunatic - Just A Local Lunatic

Not portraying as Bentley as that weird friend who does illegal science experiments in your basement is a wasted opportunity. 

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 😂

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.

Gonna snap one day and commission an artist to draw me the entire Magnet Family with Luna included in a royal House of M style portrait, because I am sick and tired of her being forgotten or treated as non important even though she's the first grandchild, and she has powers, and is so important to the family. STOP IGNORING HER MARVEL.

When I say Billy has a temper and is always ready to throw down, this is what I'm talking about. Sixteen years old, ninety pounds soaking wet, currently depowered, and he fucking tackles Wolverine.

I like to imagine that Luna and the twins have arguments about who's really the older one AKA who should be in charge when they hang out

the fact that Luna Maximoff was literally born before Billy and Tommy but bc of the retro-reincarnation* the twins are full grown adults and Luna is still a middle-schooler.

*nobody in the mid-2000s was playing close enough attention to the timeline, also because Luna is the Franklin Richards of Atillan and will never age.

Marvel is just going to take Franklin Richards’ X-gene away and then have FIRESTAR join the X-Men?? Why??

we're going insane tonight (aka thinking about my little characters)

current Maximoff pet theory

Everyone knows the retcon is stupid. So let’s explain it away!

Why cut the Maximoffs off from Krakoa? Because little Luna Maximoff knows when someone is being mind-controlled and shows possible signs of precognition. (I think that was just everyone forgetting what her powers are/how they work, but I’m willing to go with it.) Let her visit even once, and the jig is up.

This could’ve been solved by manipulating things so that Luna appears to be someone else’s daughter, but that would have caused (1) Pietro to immediately flip his shit, (2) Wanda to immediately flip her shit, and (3) Medusa to immediately flip her shit, and (4) a paternity test, which would have revealed the manipulation.

So, really, manipulating things so that Wanda and Pietro appear to not be Magneto’s kids was the easier way to keep Luna and her powers away from Krakoa.

Who’s doing the manipulating? Not Magneto. Xavier doesn’t have that kind of power on his own, but he has telepathy and zero qualms about using said telepathy to fuck with/up anybody he pleases. (War hero and king of a sovereign nation Namor. Magneto. His own students. Himself. Every woman he’s ever dated, apparently.  And so on.)

So my current pet theory is that, in the original timeline, the retcon didn’t happen, Luna visited Aunt Lorna on Krakoa and said, “Hey, there’s mind control spores in everyone’s brains?!” and started fighting spores, alerted her dad and other heroes, and that was the end of Krakoa. It took like an hour.

Xavier and Moira hated that. Xavier and Moira put together a small team of mutants including someone with time travel powers, someone with heavy-duty reality-warping or manipulation powers, and someone to troubleshoot whatever fuckups the first two might cause, and then sent them back in time to prevent Luna Maximoff from ever visiting Krakoa. Thus, the retcon.

Franklin making a Captain America oc that's a girl because his mom is the most outstanding example of a superhero to him is the sweetest thing.
