This comic officially needs a new title. How do you forget to include Magneto in a comic called TRIAL OF MAGNETO! He legit appears in like two panels.
Why the hell does Williams think that Billy and Tommy spent their “Entire lives” defending Wanda. They didn’t even know she was their mother for most of their life. They’re like in their twenties in comic book world. They didn’t even know shew was their mom until they were sixteen. And didn’t meet her (For Tommy) until Children’s Crusade. Or met her briefly (Billy).
IF this ends up being that future Wanda killed past Wanda to change her destiny or what not, I am going to be so pissed, because that’s going to be the world’s lamest ending.
So this whole thing is the three Wanda’s. Past Present and Future. Oh wow. That’s so deep and clever.
THis entire comic is a wasted opportunity.
AND WHY THE HELL WERE BILLY AND TOMMY YELLING AT WANDA? It was completely unnecessary, especially when she hasn’t had time to process the info dump she got from the Telepaths with no common sense.
What really set me off isn’t the stupid decision to give Billy red powers, the awful storytelling, or the way they try to shoehorn a connection between Wanda and the twins, but how they screamed at here. It was brutal to see. You‘re telling ME the kids who saved and defended Wanda in the Children‘s Crusade would go and scream at her when she‘s literally having a breakdown and have this abuse be her motivation?
Tommy would never. But Billy???? no possible way would Billy, the man who constantly doubts himself, who believes in everyone, who knows how bad your mental health can get, who knows how tricky powers are, ever, EVER scream at anyone, especially not his spiritual mom. Even after he realized what Loki was planning, he still treated him with respect and treated him as a friend.
WHEN YOU WRITE A FREAKING COMIC READ A FEW FREAKING COMICS BEFOREHAND! IT‘S THE SAME WITH THE INFINITY COMIC. YOU ARE WRITING ESTABLISHED CHARACTERS. YOU GET PAID TO DO THAT! YOU CANNOT JUST CHANGE THEM HOW YOU SEE FIT. IT‘S YOUR FREAKING JOB!
Let’s just play her greatest hits.
you-see-something-strange-here:
Right now it’s thinking about how marvel did soooo Tommy dirty by making him a second rate slow speedster….also also erased his badass power of accelerating molecules to make explosions
Like that was the only time Leah Williams used Tommy as a prop.
Tommy was used to show us how amazing Northstar is for being so much faster than anohter speedster.
He was used to tell us how amazing Eyeboy was for being able to predict and stop a speedster in his tracks so easily and how nice he is for trying to stop Tommy from seeing his mother corpse.
He was infantilized so we could be told how amazing and caring Kyle was.
He was shown scolding Wanda with his twin trying to appease X-men fans from criticizing that Wanda was getting off too easy.
He was used for fanservice so there would be a same sex make out session to sell on and appease the Thinkfast crowd, while every moment of development his boyfriend has in the book is linked to eyeboy.
I mean the lady clearly only inherited having to use him because of marvel giving so little of a shit they allowed him to get hooked up with another character off-screen for a book he was barely in and only kept because she was afraid the thinkfast crowd would cancel her if she did not, but she sure got some use out of him without ever reading a single issue of a comic that included him.
