I suddenly saw Buffy with Angel, of the X-Men.
It was weird. But less disturbing than seeing her with Scott.
Shan and Willow seems a little obvious. But back in the day, a confused Willow-Kitty-Doug Ramsey triangle would have been cool.
The count of three isn't a plan. It's Sesame Street.

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

move out and draw fire
As long as Bats doesn't go for Buffy
Oh, no worries about that, ita. She's still, you know, a girl.
Buffy and Logan.
Ah hell. This is the girly soap-opera version of "Dude, if Batman and Superman fought, who would win?" isn't it?

Beats the lubespace buttered cat array.
(Which was something that came up in chat with "who'd top? Bats or Supes?")

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Reading AMX, I became amused that Joss was once again writing for a Summers.

That girl likes a little monster in her man, doesn't she?
However, this is all moot if Gambit gets to her first.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
The idea of Faith and Nightwing makes me happy. As does Dawn with any of the Titans; Tim would intrigue her, while Kon and Bart would try to bond over really being three years old and ADORABLE, and she and Cassie would roll their eyes over the silly boys.
...I really should write that fanfic already.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I hate the leonine Beast. I liked the previous blue furry incarnation better.
Yeah. Actually, I'm trying to see the point of having Beast in the same lineup as Wolverine since their abilities would seem to fill the same niche. Hank is just more polite than Logan.
I liked Kitty's flashbacks, and her line to Emma about being late because she was remembering to put on all her clothes. There is also a kind of neat art detail when they're in SpinalTap!Hawaii. As Hank is fiddling with the holo controls, the background of one of the frames goes all pixelated as he finally manages to change the resolution of the display.

Hey. New board.
God, as if I needed more things to distract me from schoolwork, I really wish I understood enough of the X-verse to understand Astonishing (completely) and the Bat-verse (to follow your conversations). Tell me what I should read! Trades and Graphic Novels I will buy, and issues I can download, just tell me!
(If this post makes no logical sense, Captain Morgan is to blame. Also, Annheiser Busch.)

Beast in the same lineup as Wolverine
My first reaction is to say that Beast is a brain and Wolverine is a fighter -- I've never considered them even slightly interchangeable except from a hairdressing POV, but let me pull out the trusty handbook:
PowerBeastWolverineEmmaCyclopsKitty Intelligence52334 Strength54522 Speed22222 Durability44523 Energy Projection11551 Fighting Skills37345
I'm surprised at the durability rating -- the whole adamantium plus I once regenerated myself from a drop of blood thing might rate a 5 or a 6 for Wolverine, I'd have thought.
7 is the top of the scale.

Beast is a brain, but my memory is that he rarely did anything with that intelligence in the way a Reed Richards or a Hank Pym would. He mostly used it to snark. (Anyone else think that Beast would be a great Buffista?) His primary function in the group has always been as muscle, and he's not as good at that as Wolverine.
Yeah, the durability rating is whacked.
