Because she is the incarnation of his his own OneItIs Lost Love who was his sempai at martial arts classes in his youth
Kwannon/Revanche is the writer’s Waifu
>kwannon using betsy’s code name that she got way before the body swap shenanigans
But why
So they no longer have a white person pretending to be Japanese (hits too close to home for Marvel now) but still have "Psylocke" in the fucking Jim Lee design.
This whole attempt to “fix” psylocke has been a disaster. I get that “Anglo in a Japanese body” can’t fly now in the age of wokeness, but the reality of it is that no one really cared about pre-ninja Betsy OR Kwannon; it was only when combined that they worked.
Don’t know what a better solution would be though.
I cared about OG Betsy. Outback era is my favorite X-Men era.
Isn’t it still too premature to say so?!
Bryan Hill is a terribly boring writer
Because everyone thinks Psylocke is the sexy asian ninja because Jim Lee
I'm just glad Betsy's back in her body doing stuff and they kept Kwannon around for the people mad about fixing Betsy.
Same. Claremont Betsy was great. Betsy turning to steel and fighting Hordein Uncanny X-Men Annual #1? Still awesome.
Because they gotta keep doubling down on everything they can to prevent Betsy from even being associated with being the psychic ninja she’s been.
First they had to make sure she wears only light colors. Then they had to make sure to get rid of her tk katana and replace it with a European style sword and shield. Finally, they had to get rid of her code name of Psylocke and make her Captain Britain. They’ve doubled down so hard that I’m pretty sure they’re on octupling down at this point
Great from the hack who is currently writing Batman & Outsiders, minus the cheesecake from Dexter So.Y.
You really need to read more comics. Besty under Moore and Claremont was a very interesting character. Different for the x-women yet charming enough to had fans.
so you saying he is based?
Yeah , especially since he’s Black but apparently not too Bitter about it like the Boondocks creator and that BP Gary Stu BET Guy
I meant MxGruder and Hudlin are Black and Bitter , but Priest and McDuffie aren’t/weren’t
>gets to make his waifu fanfic canon
Literally the Yea Forumsmrade endgame
>but the reality of it is that no one really cared about pre-ninja Betsy OR Kwannon; it was only when combined that they worked.
There was no pre-Psylocke version of Kwannon for anyone to care about. She was literally introduced to explain where Betsy's Japanese body came from, then she died within a year.
>I get that “Anglo in a Japanese body” can’t fly now in the age of wokeness
I don't. Can you explain it?
Psylocke wasn't actual Japanese representation, she was a British woman wearing a Japanese woman's body. In the age of wokeness, authentic representation is very important. Look for them to next start going after characters who were created as white people, but were retconned into being something else, because they won't be considered real representation either.
It's additionally embarrassing for Marvel because their editor in chief broke a rule that forbade Marvel editors also writing Marvel books, by using a Japanese pen-name. The editors who were hiring "Akira Yoshida" knew they were hiring their friend, but the woke and the outraged have spun this story of cronyism into instead being about Marvel trying to hire an "authentic Japanese voice" and being deceived.
Having a white person running around in a Japanese person's body playing into ninja assassin stereotypes would be seen as something akin to blackface by the overly sensitive, instead of the mild horror the situation was supposed to invoke.
>I'm just glad Betsy's back in her body doing stuff and they kept Kwannon around for the people mad about fixing Betsy.
Why did they wait until now to undo the body swap anyway? Betsy was Asian for 30 years. Did no one think during that time “maybe this wasn’t the best thing to do“?
>Why did they wait until now to undo the body swap anyway? Betsy was Asian for 30 years. Did no one think during that time “maybe this wasn’t the best thing to do“?
Its almost like we're in an age of hyper oversensitive SJW douchebags screaming their shit all over the place.
Truly, a mystery why Marvel didn't give a shit until now. Really, mind boggling. Yep. Mhm. A MYSTERY FOR THE AGES.
Senpai, not sempai. You can't make such mistakes here, you need to go back.
Who fucking cares, Kudranski's "drawing" it so this book is already trash.
Has it ever been explained how Betsy got her body back?
Yes, it happened in Hunt for Wolverine: Mystery in Madripoor
In her case it's not even pretending, considering her mind was in her body for decades.
Its just a typo. Lighten up Francis !
>Did no one think during that time “maybe this wasn’t the best thing to do“?
She only became popular when she became an Asian ninja. The original Psylocke was only preferred by contrarians and some Captain Britain fans. Nobody thinks to undo a popular change until people start denouncing it as 'problematic'.
Danny better watch out...
Claremont did try to switch her back in the early 00s but Marvel told him no because they considered Asian Betsy the iconic version.
Really they should have just continued to not give a shit on that one considering that the SJWs who screamed the loudest are the very ones who don’t even buy their comics to begin with
i think there were some stories where they played around with the idea but they probably kept Betsy Asian because the video games made that version of her popular so that was the status quo
yeah but its okay for them to promote a man who literally pretended to be Asian to EiC

nah dude you're stupid
people cared about Kwannon's design and as far as they were concerned the idea of Kwannon WAS Psylocke
No one even realized she was body switched or had anything to do with Captain Britain lore
She was just a sexy psychic ninja like how the other X-Men were just this and that
They didn't work better together, they just were
marvel doesn't care about Asians
even up until recently they were introducing blatant fetish bait characters like Silk
>the SJWs who screamed the loudest are the very ones who don’t even buy their comics to begin with
A lot of people bitching about this are presenting it like Betsy deliberately stole Kwannon’s body which isn’t true at all. If they had to turn her white why couldn’t they at least keep the ninja aesthetics? Iron Fist does i- oh wait he’s racist now too because you have to be Asian to be a martial artist. Fuck these people.
iron fist is a rich white guy who learned marital arts to fight crime in the inner city
i don't know, he's not really a character to be taken seriously
Because PSYLOCKE IS ASIAN AND WE WON BASTARD!
You lose go read female captain Brexit
he's not so much as racist as the situation of promoting him was iffy
marvel had NO Asian leads in any movie
but they insist on promoting a character who uses things associated with Asian culture before thinking about having Asians present
They even changed a Tibetan master to be a white woman beforehand
Wong barely counts because originally he was a manservant in the comics, and although the movie made him better. Its kind of a reminder on how little Marvel has done about Asian representation
Even Shang Chi is only a thing now becuase they want China money
No, he didn't. What a flat as fuck reading of his character. Let me guess you're basing it off Chow's strawman?
This is why, like the OG Comics, Shang-Chi should have debuted well BEFORE Danny.
Yet, they made him American, because of AAIRONFIST, but now China hates it. Who are they appealing to?
Psylocke is literally the plot of Get Out
>iron fist is a rich white guy who learned marital arts to fight crime in the inner city
>i don't know, he's not really a character to be taken seriously
Yeah who could take a batty character like that seriously?
Why would they? There's more straight-as-an-arrow concepts out there
I guess they’re not daring to be devilish enough.
I don't know
A lot is going against this character but is a certain way i am interested
That would've been the smart thing to do.
As we know from the past decade. Marvel... is not very smart.
There is nothing horrific about Psylocke aside from the horrible things she does to my dick
The Devil you say !
Oh shit , thats already been done , ah this game is Pun-ishing tsk tsk
Lol.
It's a real Rorschach test.
Maybe. If this was the character, you'd have a point.
If Shang-Chi's successful, and is able to weather his controversy with Kevin Feige at the helm, then so can Iron Fist.
So how fast is this shit getting cancelled?
One arc or two?
Friendly reminder that:
1. Absolutely NOBODY gives a fuck about the X-Men anymore.
2. Yea Forums actively wants ALL mutants characters murdered as brutally as possible and their corpses raped.
3. Hackman's saga is gonna flop hard and should convince MarLEL to never publish a mutant character ever again.
Is Kwannon even an interesting character on her own?
Interesting? She's not even a character on her own. She's the girlfriend of a minor Wolverine ninja baddie who died from the Legacy Virus.
Well, ok then. Does she at least have potential?
She was born a normal human and is now effectively a mutant. That's somewhat unique.
>A male writer writing an X-Men book whose waifu isn't Kitty
We should be celebrating this.
she is a sexy ninja. so the same interest traits that Betsy had before all this shitshow.
BASED HILL! going to bring futurism and action like he always does. I can't wait
Hill is somewhere closer to Priest cause he isn't afraid of getting his hands dirty in the current mess. Like read American Carnage, it's all about racism in the US but the half black protaganist is treated like shit all the way though, even the white supremacists seem to get a win from him and the white girl that he fucks just keeps calling him a nigger the entire time. It's a very well done story and incredibly brutal and I'm surprised there wasn't outrage over it, but that's probably just cause people didn't read it
Why did you type the exclamation point? What are you, a 15 year old girl?
