Wah!

The only thing I have to blog or journal about, I can't blog or journal about. And I just combed my friendsfriends list (which is a strange and disturbing thing, rather like a Michael Card concert with Marilyn Manson as the opening act) and I still don't have any ideas.

Obviously, Jemima needs to say something controversial again. Or maybe I

Power-draining mutants? Oh, drat. I knew not reading X-Men would one day be a drawback.

That image of your friendsfriends list is just priceless.

You might not want to read Aieshya's fic The Fire You Touch, either. Though she makes no secret of having borrowed the idea from the X-MEN comic in general and Rogue in particular.

And I'm glad you liked it.

ROTFL!!! This is priceless.

I was about to laugh, and then I realised that my friends list is probably the source of at least half the wackiness.

That's all right, go ahead and laugh anyway. :)

There's speculation that the girl Peter was carrying was Magik, but I didn't get a good look at her so I'm not sure if she was blond. The effects when he went metal were cool even though I thought it wasn't really accurate.

But if so, you'd think she'd just have summoned a stepping disk and teleported everybody out of the mansion, instead of hanging about limply in Peter's arms as though she had no powers at all.

On the other hand, maybe they thought of that, but decided they really didn't want to go via Limbo.

Of course, I may be reading too much into this. :)

Hmm. My memory of the sequence of events in the mansion invasion may be a bit skewed, but this is what I think happened:

If she and Kitty were sharing a room like they did in the comics, then that was probably her who was closer to the door and who got tranquilized while Kitty woke up enough (or had already been awake thanks to Siryn's scream--was that right before the scene?) to escape the invading troopers by phasing through the bed. I think Peter showed up right after that, found the soldiers, changed, knocked out/killed/whatever the soldiers, and grabbed Magik (don't remember how to spell her actual name :P). That would explain why she didn't utilize her stepping disks, as well as giving the movie people a good excuse not to drag Limbo into the mess. ;)

Magik (don't remember how to spell her actual name :P).

Illyana. Hm, yes, that would make sense, that he was carrying her because she'd been tranquilized. Objection withdrawn, then. :)
