Article: Amazing X-Men #9 Review

[Le Messor]

I think the Wendigo with the red tint in it's mane was a stroke of genius... very subtle, yet most people realised it right away. Brilliant.

I noticed that, but I just figured it'd turned some random person with a dyed streak in their hair. Because otherwise it makes no sense - nobody else has retained any part of their natural colour, why should this person? (Heather, for example.)

I've read most of the Wendigo appearances over the years and always believed that there were two ways (and two ways only) to become a Wendigo. A) eating human flesh in Canada, and B) being turned by magic. I don't remember "bites and scratches" being used before.

shouldn't we just say that this is writers/editors not doing proper research?

I'm pretty sure that why will be a part of the plot as it's been mentioned a few times in the issue.

Given that it WAS mentioned as something new, something different, I don't think it can be put down to poor research. The writers obviously know this isn't how it used to be.

These Wendigis are more like werewolves right now. (This isn't a complaint, just an observation.)

No you wouldn't.

That isn't an argument! It's just contradiction!

Oh yeah?! Prove it!

[Le Messor]

Look, an argument is an interconnected series of statements designed to to arrive at a conclusion. It's not just the automatic gainsaying of what the other person says.

[Flightpath07]

I disagree with your attempts to control my thoughts. Putting on my tinfoil hat now. There, I said it; HAT. I win.

[Le Messor]

'Hat'?

My argument is invalid.

But why stab Talisman? Why not stab an X-Man for a change? If you're going to sell a story stab someone who Wolverinedigo would want to stab, and have repercussions.

[Phil]

Because none of the X-Men have magical powers that could stop the curse.

Nor, indeed, were they actively trying to stop the curse at the time of the Incident.

I don't like having an Alphan stabbed, but I do agree that it was tactically the best manœuvre. Which, if you think about it, is a sign of SOME respect for Alphans - the Wendigo went for the biggest threat, and that was Talisman.

They should have had Magik with her sword on speed dial. In their defense they didn't know until it was to late

Your spot-on though, she was the only one that could have quickly dealt with it and had to be removed

if they (not Marvel; the Wendigos) read this site, they'd know that WE are the biggest threat!

Isn't she spending the year dead for tax purposes?

She's on Cyclops' X-Men though, not Wolverine's.
The two still aren't playing nicely.

Oh, so she is alive at the moment?
I lose track.

Which team is Colossus on? Wolverine's or Cyke's? (Cyke's, isn't it?)
Does Deadpool play for both teams?

[Phil]

Colossus is (presumably now) on Wolverine's X-Men, as of Amazing #8.

They kind of buried the hatchet with the recent Cyclops and Wolverine crossover. Highly doubt they would simply say no they wouldn't help...Magik may, but Cyclops would order her
