[Wolverine and the X-Men]

I dunno what happened, but those pages sure look sad... And I've always liked Toad, ever since back when the Misfits was formed (too bad they didn't get their own comic).

A) Aw, Toad got fired? I mean, I'm pretty much away from the X-books these days (just too complicated), but Toad's always been my favorite, and I liked the idea of him working at the school (in the old, post-movie days of Toad fandom, I think it actually was a pretty common head-canon, certainly mine, that Toad would eventually wind up at the school in the movie-verse, preferably as a gym teacher. I was kinda happy to see that happen in Ultimate, except by then the book was...eh). Poor guy just can't catch a break.

B) Will they PLEASE have some consistency over how they draw Toad? He hasn't looked like that since X-men Forever (the Kevin Maguire one), he's never been green-green. The 198 mini had a good look for him--not attractive, but not horrifying, run-down and tired.

I feel like Toad's the kind of character who always needs to be kinda pathetic, but it's gotta be done just right or it just comes off as annoying.


whuups, I still got Toad!feels.

I think becoming a self-righteous hypocrite asshole might actually be one of the symptoms of the mutant virus or something

because man does that happen to a lot of x-men characters

As someone who only knows Toad from the movie and that one Toad/Wolverine/Rogue fic, that image makes me sad. :(

(Anonymous) 2014-04-11 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
You wouldn't happen to have a link to that fic, would you?

I can't believe I found it, but yes! Their accents are written out, of course, and I can't speak for it's quality right now but I loved it back when I was 17!

I'm not reading the title, but whenever I see a bit of it, I get confused...is it actually in 616 continuity?

I'd been under the impression it is, but, seeing the situation that got Toad fired, I'm seeing Husk being evil, so I'm lost...

(Anonymous) 2014-04-11 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
It is in 616 continuity. Toad was fired for being a mole on the side of the Hellfire Academy and putting students in danger. He did it out of love for Husk, who got a pass for her behavior because her mutation was messing with his mind and she's being treated.

OK, that makes sense....or not, but at least it explains what was going on.

da

Not sure whether you realized the "his" there is a typo, so just dropping in way after the party is ended to let you know that the "his" is a typo-- Husk's mutation was messing with her mind. Just in case that was throwing you off.

I mentally corrected the typo so fast I didn't even realize it said 'his' until you mentioned it.

Husk's mutation affecting Toad's mind would make even less sense.

(Anonymous) 2014-04-11 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
I thought that might be the case-- I didn't notice either until I read that part again when you quoted it-- but I figured it wouldn't hurt to point it out just in case, since it throws an entirely weirder light on the situation. Sorry if I was annoying :)

(Anonymous) 2014-04-11 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
It should be noted that Toad helped the xmen defeat the Hellfire Academy

Can we replace Logan with Howlett from X-treme X-men? Because he's the only version of Wolverine I actually like.

(Anonymous) 2014-04-11 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
Can we have baby Kurt too? How about we just have Baby Kurt and TJ and (newly not-dead)Kurt showing Scott how to be a good weird Alt universe family.

I gotta catch up on my comics, but if this is yet another stupid heel-turn to make a reformed character bad again under a new writer I will be annoyed. Not that I liked Toad in particular I'm just tired of character development being shat on because a new writer wants to go back to status quo.

(Anonymous) 2014-04-11 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
Toad doesn't seemed to have turned bad, just resigned and feeling crappy. Which is fair enough, since Wolverine was an asshole to him.

(Anonymous) 2014-04-11 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
of course wolverine's an asshole. he goes after his teammate's wife for years, has a higher body count than the rest of the x-men combined (not including phoenix), refused orders, responded to simple misunderstandings and petty arguments with teammates with attempted homicide, seriously brought up the idea of killing an innocent teenager in front of the whole jean grey school, and he fires toad for going to look out for husk and the students.

he still does heroic things, but right now, compared to wolverine, cyclops feels like someone i'd have a beer with.

hat is that stance that he is taking there in the upper panel is thta teen possible from a huma standpoitn? i'm not sure it is.

You aren't even that wy* illustrator! Why are you doing this to us? You should draw better you fucking piece of shit.

It's no wonder you feel the things you do and not the things that they want you feel to because if you were good that this then they would make you feel things properly, but they can't translate the motion that they want to convey because THEY CAN'T EVEN DRAW BODIES RIGHT.

But hey, who knows.
