Tellingly, Magneto asserts: 'The humans must be our slaves!' Not something Dr King would ever have said... he sounds like that ratbag Dr Doom.<br /><br />https://www.cbr.com/x-men-magneto-can-astral-project/Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754356721889145004.post-90948904782706110482017-11-06T19:05:01.092-05:002017-11-06T19:05:01.092-05:00Absolutely correct analysis of giving Kirby too mu...Absolutely correct analysis of giving Kirby too much credit in some places.

(And I’ve never been convinced that the Martin Luthor King/Malcolm X parallels were in the X-Men until Claremont came along, ditto the idea of the X-Men as proxies for any outsider group you care to name. It seems to be a narrative that was retroactively added, with even Stan Lee professing to believe it in later years.)<br /><br />But yeah, Barda is fantastic. I’ve never been a fan of the Black Panther, his look was boring (the tiny cape added interest, on occasion) and his nobility made for a humourless chap. But I love what he stood for, as the best of men from a nation reaching for the future. As for Doctor Doom, he’s hilarious. <br /><br />So who shall I pick? I do love the Warriors Three, Kirby’s visual either perfectly captured Lee’s character descriptions, or informed the personalities he gave them. And over at DC, the nurturing technology of Mother Box was pure wonderment. <br /><br />Keep up the great work!Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754356721889145004.post-20299947098699764122017-10-30T07:52:40.815-04:002017-10-30T07:52:40.815-04:00We know, right !!!!!!!!!We know, right !!!!!!!!!Relatively Geekyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08214808049768090936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754356721889145004.post-65065043534967455302017-10-30T01:02:50.745-04:002017-10-30T01:02:50.745-04:00LOOOOOOVE Big Barda!!!!LOOOOOOVE Big Barda!!!!Matthew Sanborn Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14602360310073783377noreply@blogger.com
