That has to be the most absurd fucking thing I’ve ever heard.
A female character having a love interest doesn’t make her any less of a strong character.
Her lack of love interest didn’t affect her in any way in the first movie so why would her gaining a love interest be any different???
A WOMAN DOESN’T NEED TO BE SINGLE TO BE STRONG, YOU FUCKING IDIOTS. A strong woman can be IN LOVE and still be STRONG. The relationship isn’t her only fucking defining feature, which is what actual shitty writers (NOT JOSS WHEDON) do to female characters.
Joss wrote Buffy. He wrote Willow. He wrote Zoe. He wrote River. He wrote Kaylee.
JFC some users of this website are fucking garbage.
I’m pretty sure the sheer fact that she can calm the hulk down with minimum collateral damage makes her the strongest on the team.
“There’s a cure?!” asked the girl that kills everything she touches. “Hey shut up we’re perf” replied the girl that makes clouds.
For real though. Storm has stopped an entire tsunami before. “Makes clouds my ass” she can conjure lightning and tornadoes and is revered as a god in her tribe. She literally changes atmospheric pressure and that’s how she flies. So fuck you. Storm is flawless.
I think you missed the part where the GIRL WHO KILLS EVERYTHING SHE TOUCHES wants to NOT KILL EVERYTHING SHE TOUCHES and everyone dismisses her incredible misfortune just because the lady who is the AVATAR OF THE STORM won the fucking SUPERPOWER LOTTERY
And here we see X-Men perfectly illustrating the disparity between the larger disability community (Storm) and the chronic illness community (Rogue). One wants society to accept & respect them & their various different needs, which is surely a noble cause, while the other would like to NOT BE IN PAIN EVERY FUCKING DAY, which is just as important but often gets shouted down by non-ill disabled people who only want to talk about disability as a social construct.
Every time I see this there’s a new breakdown and I love it
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
