Nightscrawlers

Originally posted by The Drastic Spastic Originally posted by chicory I'd still like to hear why exactly people like AOA Kurt, the anti-Nightcrawler (I kind of think). Cause he's a badass and it creates... CONFLICT!!!! YAY CONFLICT!!!! THE HEART OF ANY STORY. I find the whole "super duper nice...

Originally posted by Bamfing_Bob I can honestly say I have no real theories on the subject. I don't believe it has ever been defined; all I know is Kurt only feels a great deal of fatigue after a large display of power. I think of it as lifting weights. Small weights can be lifted easily and with l...

Has the strain Kurt experiences when using his powers to a high degree ever been completely defined? I understand that it's potentially lethal, but that it's also something the body can get used to, right? Is it simply a matter of his body using up a lot of energy so he's spent? Does his blood press...

Originally posted by stupidusername So is it his awesome personality that gets in his way of super power greatness or is it something else? I'd say it's his awesome personality, yes. I'm still waiting for him to lose it and open up a bag of serious pain. I'll be there with popcorn. Seriously. Kurt ...

I would like to add that I've come to associate AoA Kurt with the Matrix soundtrack and Ultimate Kurt with the soundtrack for Run Lola Run.

That sounds like a must-have.

Originally posted by psychonaut Who knows, it might be one of those smells that grows on you with familiararity. I've known people who liked all kinds of smells such as gasoline and fish food. If you come to associate the smell with something good, I bet your perceptions would change. I LOVE the sm...

Oh my god. I don't know what to say. Dear, sweet Dave, taking the time to chat with his fans on a message board up until the end. He really gave us so much more than we had the right to ask for. It's so hard to believe that Nightcrawler's dad is gone. Rest in peace, Dave. We love you. You have reall...

Goo Goo Doll's "Iris" fits him perfectly. Beautiful, dramatic and elegant and the lyrics almost seem tailored for him. When I read the scene with him and Storm air-dancing, that was the song I had in my head. It even has the rhythm of a waltz.

Originally posted by The Drastic Spastic You muuuuust be joking. Again. Nope. Uh, what about being brainwashed into thinking he was a priest? That was another extremely stupid storyline, yes, but I don't see people blaming the character for it like they blame Cyclops or Gambit for the stuff writers...

Actually, come to think of it, Nightcrawler fans are luckier than most. Most characters have been shafted pretty badly throughout the years, one way or another. Think of Gambit, who seems universally hated by fans and writers alike. Everyone is getting sick of Wolverine at this point and what with t...

It would be interesting seeing a Kurt series or miniseries written by someone like Warren Ellis (who did a good job with Kurt in Excalibur) or Mark Millar (who apparently likes the character a lot).

Originally posted by Panz I give up. I'm never reading a x comic again. Kurt conveniently falls into comas like most people get a hair cut. This is the stupidest over used plot device of the century [Edited on 6-11-2006 by Panz] Now now. That's just in the Ultimate universe. In Uncanny, he's quite ...

The thing is, though, the fact that he actually killed someone he loved with his bare hands is something that I see as having a HUGE part in how he turned out as a person. It's probably also one of the keys to what makes his friendship with Wolverine work so well: Kurt knows first-hand the price of ...

Originally posted by Saint Kurt It might have. Because it never really was clear if Stephan had turned evil. The story of Stephan's death is depicted in several different comics. I even own the original pages of the Nightcrawler Origins comic that depict it and they show it as a delibrate attack on...

Originally posted by Saint Kurt Applying horoscopes to people is a sketchy business so applying them to a comic book character who has been written and drawn by ... I'm not going to count ... a lot of people over several decades is going to be seriously sketchy. Very true, but somehow that makes it...

One thing that's always seemed strange to me is that, although Kurt promised Stefan that he would kill him if he ever turned evil, when the moment came, the killing was still depicted as accidental. Why not just have him snap the guy's neck on purpose? Kurt even said in Uncanny X-men annual 4 that i...

Originally posted by The Drastic Spastic Are you two high? NONE of this relates back to the original. Maybe half of it could apply to AoA Kurt. Give me one FULL sentence out of there that could concievably be applied to the original. There's bits (like "penetrating eyes" :rolleyes) but th...

That does sound a lot like Kurt. At least when Alan Davis is involved.
