Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Now that I've downloaded the whole run, and understand *all* the references, I like it a lot better.

Makes sense -- I adored it on first reading, but that was from the start, and since my recent bout of DC-mania began. My first reaction was "oh my god, this is the greatest continuitygasm ever!" -- getting more into the characters than I'd ever been before kind of snuck up on me in the course of the run.

I think it's a superbly done reboot, but it's definitely not one to pick up in the middle or try to read casually.

move out and draw fire

think one of her mourners said something to the effect of "Well, they don't call her Phoenix for nothing."

But she's dead enough to Logan and Scott, who you'd think would be the two people to be half waiting for her to show back up.

"OMG! You killed Phoenix! You bast--- Oh, wait, she's okay. Never mind."

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

I think she's dead dead, just not permanently dead. Not like the Buffyverse, where they'd go get her, or anything. She'll come back in her own time.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

At this point, do people even make a big deal about Jean dying anymore? I can imagine the first couple of times they'd be pretty broken up about it, but by now I'd just send a card. Flowers, maybe, if it was a violent death this time.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

(Hey Holli -- did you post your bit o' fic in LJ yet?)

(yup)

Part of the reason she died was so Scott and Emma could get together. She wasn't even bargaining on too long a mourning period.

Couldn't she and Scott just have agreed to have an open marriage? Dying so that your husband can snowball is well off the generosity meter.

Scott would never have an open marriage. It wouldn't be proper. Psychically cheating on your wife? Well, maybe. Leaving your wife and kid? Why not?

Polyamory would be declassé, though.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Leaving your wife and kid? Why not?

Scott would never. He has issues about that. His father abandoned him and Alex and their mom to go superheroing about the galaxy.

Scott would never.

Tell that to Madelyne Pryor.
