The only reason that NC as priest is impossible for me to swallow is it isn't an alternate reality. Whenever they tried this priest shit before (first cartoon, various Excalibur stories) it was easy to just shrug it off, secure in the knowledge that even though this new character didn't work out, there was always 616 to fall back on... I think I'm still falling.

My biggest problem with him becoming a priest is that no one is terribly surprised about it. I mean, right from the beginning we knew he was a religious character, one of the few in Marvel comics. Now, I'm a fairly religious person and I know a bunch of other people who are too but none of them are going to become priests. Now, because Marvel has this one character who happens to be religious they think they have to play off of it.

yeah it's just like if someone's from the South they're going to be a "Southern Belle" or if they're black they going to be related to all the other black characters. It's just the kind of thinking they have.
Nightcrawler is the first person that I ever had a crush on(seeing what a mess Iv'e made of my love life, I shoulda stuck with my comics!) and I still think that he's a hottie,They will get bored with the priest thing and bring him back...no real story potential and they'll loose money...the fuzzy elf is WAY popular and a lot of people are cranked off about the priest thing.
I will always love him , but I wont buy any more comics that have him as a priest.

True, true. Nothing like playing to the stereotypes. I hope this priest thing ends too. I've kinda accepted it for now, but it's so dull. I don't know who suggested it, but I think the idea of him getting kicked out would be a great end for it. That'd give him hella character development.

Okay, one way i'd think would be cool to get rid of the priest thing is for him to fall madly in love with someone (preferably a new-human character). He struggles with his vow and his strong feelings. This causes him to re-evaluate just why he became a priest (and in the meantime show all of us just why it happened) and have him realize he doesn't need to wear a collar to serve God.
Then after he leaves the priesthood to be with her, he reveals his true apearance to her and she rejects him. Only, after realizing that inside he's still a hellofaguy, does she come back to him and ask for forgiveness.
Or they could just leave it unexplained, and keep the character boring until no one wants to write him stories anymore.... http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/frown.gif

I don't have much of a problem with the whole Kurt-as-priest thing. Being slighty religious myself, Kurt was a good role model. I personally think that if they keep him from getting annoying with it, it's fine. It's rare when there is a character with an actual organized religion who doesn't wind up as bad off as one of those guys in the red shirts on Star Trek
Dude, if your lookin' for a good nighty comic you pick-up his 1985 mini-seris(especailly if you like the BAMFs!),I just got mine and it's sswwweeeettttttt!!!!
