Wow, and will ya look at how big the 'clubhouse' is getting! Theyre going to have to knock out some walls and add some more rooms... (translation: GREETINGS and SALUTATIONS to all of the new members!)
I have to agree with what seems to be the consensus in here, I want the old Kurt back.
I think it's not so much Marvel and the X-offices saying "Lets go ALL the way and make one of the few deeply religious Marvel characters a Priest", it's more a case of them locking onto the irony of having a character that looks like a 'demon', being such a devout servant of God.
All of this of course came from that really great scene between WOLVERINE and NIGHTCRAWLER waaaaay back in UNCANNY # 165. It was during the incredible original BROOD saga when things were looking about as grim for the X-Men as they've ever looked. The X-Men are in space on the StarJammer's ship, and during a quiet moment Logan walks past Kurt's room and notices that Nightcrawler is on his knees praying! I think I remember Wolverine saying something to the effect of "YOU praying Elf? I never figured you for the religious type." to wich Kurt sarcastically responded "What, dont I look the part?"
I think Claremont always really liked the idea and irony of having a character that looked so 'EVIL' being so inherently 'GOOD'. (Wich is probably why he decided to start the whole Priest thing during his much ballyhooed return to the X-books a few years back.) I really thought it had run it's course when CC left and was very surprised to see Casey embrace the idea of Kurt-the-Priest.
I'm guessing of course, but maybe the whole idea was to keep it for the purpose of Kurt's encounter with Casey's SUPREME PONTIFF character?
BAMF!
I fell for Kurt when he guest stared on the Original cartoon. But I like evo Kurt. Remember they're just trying to show how he was like when he was young.
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Ncrawlr82:
I've been thinking of writeing this topic for quite some time but wasn't really sure what I wanted to say. I'm not even sure why I feel compelled to write it but as you are all fans I think this is as great a place to write it as anywhere. First, I'll give you a brief rundown of how I got to know and love the fuzzy elf.
When I was about eight, a decade ago (wow, time flies) I hung out with my next door nieghbor of the same age. He was really in to Sci fi, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and something called the X-Men. He didn't have a lot of comics but he did have the Marvel cards. For some reason I was drawn to Nightcrawler. It wasn't because he was seen as an outcastdealing with problems of fear and hatred, it wasn't because of his humor, heck, I hadn't even read a comic at all yet. I bought cards of my own and traded cards of higher worth for Nightcrawler cards. As I learned about Kurt I found he was a member of a team called Excalibur. Well, now I had to collect cards of other Excalibur members too. My friend gradually outgrew Marvel but I never did and persuaded other friends to be fans too. I bought my first Excalibur comic - 71 (I believe this was the hologram cover) and I loved it. I continued to collect and made my first Excalibur page when I got my first computer. I'm now on my third Excalibur page. I joined clubs devoted to Excalibur, IMed Ben Raab, and finished my set. I've read everyone several times and loved them all. I thought it was great that Nightcrawler could go as far as he did being an outcast. I'm sure some of us are seen as outcasts being as old as we are and still being able to proudly walk into a comic book store.
At the time I didn't know a lot about Nightcrawler, just rumors and false information I'd read on webpages. All I knew was what I read in Excalibur. I had no idea just how many fans there were of Nightcrawler. I always thought I was the biggest fan in the world who knew more than anyone else. Then I came here! Wow! There are dozens of fans who know a whole lot more than I do. There are fabulous webpages souly devoted to Kurt (BamfCentral, Rogue and a Gentleman, and Blue-Elf). I'm suddenly seeing people who know everything there is about him. Fan clubs and NC screenames (Though I was one of the first)popping up all over the place! This is great but it makes feel like I have to buy a million comics just to keep up. That's why you'll notice why I almost never post here.
Here I was thinking Nightcrawler wasn't popular, only to his few die-hard fans and what comes along? X-Men Evolution! I was so excited. Finally Kurt would be getting the respect he deserved. He becomes the most popular character on the show (and rightly so) and more and more websites about him are showing up but this doesn't make me happy at all. I really don't like what they did with him at all. Besides him being a teenager (which I can get over) they totally messed with his character. He's just not the same character, or maybe he is and he's not how I imagined him to be. Now, all the newcomers to comic books will have this impression of him. The pick up comics and see him as a priest! What will they think? I'm not really following the priest story but I just don't think I can be in favor of it. I believe that his character has suffered since Alan Davis left him in Excalibur but I haven't lost hope. I will continue to route for him.
Well, I appreciate you letting me vent. I think my thoughts had to be said outloud. You may not agree with me but this is what I think. I probably forgot a lot of what I wanted to say (it's 2:28 here right now and I'm real tire) but you get the gist of it. Thanks again!
