To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Yes, which weakens the premise that it's a school (or an effective one) -- what with the not teaching and stuff, except for the kidlets.

Because one student never learned to control her powers?

I think one has to look at how the individual characters are portrayed these days, as oppsoed to, say, in the Sixties or Forties, because the attitude has shifted a lot. The X-Men, particularly, have been re-interpreted.

Vigilante. Like Punisher.

Except hotter.

And slightly more interesting.

We need subclassifications for Vigilantes.

Shrift, have you seen my new default LJ icon?

Seriously. Fangs. is perhaps the most amusing thing in the world to me right now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

No, because the only student they focussed on teaching never learned anything.

Sure, they train all the time, but so do soldiers. Even at the gitgo (second incarnation), weren't they out saving people right away?

Yes, and this is why I'm giggling at my desk. The batjazzhands were pretty freakin' funny, too.

This is true. The concept has definitely evolved since the early days. These days, the X-Men are teachers/field operatives, with other mutants being the students.

Which, really, makes more sense.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

You know, it would be so much easier if we just decided that all comic books are about superheroes.

Donald Duck? Superhero! The Cryptkeeper? Superhero! Harvey Pekar? Superhero! Maggie and Hopey? Gay Superheroes!

See? So much easier. Plus 95% of all Americans would agree with us anyway.

I'm unsure how this is working with the reboot. Some of the original New Mutants will be running Academy X. What is that ass Scott going to be doing with Emma? Other than ill-considered nookie?
