Die for Our Ship/Comic Books: Difference between revisions

[[Back From the Dead|Death is rarely permanent]] in comic books. But when it comes to obstacles for [[Fan -Preferred Couple|Fan Preferred Couples]], some fans [[Die for Our Ship|wish it was.]]

* The [[Love Triangle]] [[Heroes Want Redheads|Jean Grey]]/[[The Stoic|Cyclops]]/[[Anti -Sue|Wolverine]] from ''[[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]]'' has long been a complicated storm of controversy. Many fans have shipped Wolverine/Jean Grey since the day Wolverine joined the X-Men, but Marvel has long refused to give into fan demands. So fans engage in Scott ''and'' Jean bashing. Marvel has also changed Cyclops (first {{spoiler|having him abandon his wife Madelyne Pryor and newborn son Nathan Summers, something not even ''Jean'' approved of}} and later {{spoiler|dealing with his post-traumatic astral possession stress by psychically sleeping with reformed villainess Emma Frost (who was also changed into a [[Tsundere Sue]]), who agreed to the sort of kinky sex/role-playing Jean refused to engage in -- while they portrayed Jean Grey as a [[Purity Sue|forgiving and enabling saint]] who ultimately gave her blessing to Scott and Emma on her deathbed)}}. Meanwhile, perhaps spurred by those who dislike the often [[Double Standard|misogynistic views upon marriage]] that Marvel takes (that is, it's always the woman's fault if a marriage fails in a Marvel Comic), Marvel in recent years have portrayed Wolverine as {{spoiler|refusing to consider a relationship with Jean out of respect for Scott, even going as far as to reject a desperate Jean's advances when she confided to Wolverine that Scott was refusing to touch her sexually}}. So, the [[Badass]] is "always right," and his love rival is "always wrong". <sigh>
