Kurt is possibly one of the greatest comic book examples of “Don’t let others define you” He has every reason to be bitter against the world and play the victim, literally since birth, but never does and always tries to be selfless and make the world a better place. Always ask yourself: What would Nightcrawler do?

[@romy_edits]

Sleep with Rogue according to Si Spurrier

[@DreamersOfReality]

It's simply not possible to "not let others define you". We have our own inborn personalities, or at the very least natural tendencies... but how those manifest and who we become is contingent upon our rearing. The conditions of our childhoods. Our parents, our families, our friends, our communities. Their beliefs shape ours. It's cruel to hold people to a standard basically impossible for them to achieve, and then to judge them for their failure. What's kind, is engineering a society with values that promote compassion. Not lionizing the few who rise out of cruelty as saints, and damning the rest.

[@TragoudistrosMPH]

What do you mean by playing the victim? Those words were used by the guy who took Storm's powers while he fought Cyclops.

[@TragoudistrosMPH]

I ask out of genuine curiosity, not some angry challenge :)

[@blackraven3436]

I love this adaptation showed different family moments to cherish aside romance. Kurt and Rogue are my favorite siblings. He explained how meeting his long lost sister saved him as she taught him to let go of the past and accepted him with open arms to be family. That sentence reminded me a bit how they rejected Mystique and walked together with arms across each other in the ending of X-Men evolution

[@rickyhuynh4641]

The siblings remind me of quicksilver and Wanda, Luke and Leia.

Rogue didn't reject Mystique in 92. She just told Nightcrawler let her go that's how she is. So I think it will be weird if suddenly she will hate her. She didn't before and she actually cried at one point when Mystique chose to stay in hiding

Honestly Jean's in a weird predicament, she was cloned, so Madelyne has her DNA, but not only that, Jean and Madelyne share a heavy psychic link that they both each others memories, "Madelyne's blood" is such a heavy thing, because Madelyne has Jean's blood and it just gets complicated. But it's not like Jean didn't act like a nagging mother this episode, forcing Cable to wear a seatbelt and nagging him to get off the plane, even though she isn't his birth mother, she's basically his mom too in a way.

So nice. I like to think that Rogue and Storm have a strong sisterly relationship. In TAS they spend alot of quality time together shopping, riding horses. I feel like her and Ororo are more Sister like than Jean and Storm in the show. In the comics however her and Jean are obviously close.

Edit: That's not what they went with, but this was a fun idea while it lasted I know this would be a huge departure from the comics, and many of you hardcore x-men fans probably won't like it, but what if Bastion is Graydon? Think about it. All this focus on Rogue, Sinister implying that Bastion is someone we know, and the prime sentinels power set is similar to Rogue's who got hers from Ms Marvel. And yes, there is the fact Bastion is going to enslave mutants rather than eliminate them, but it could be Graydon started thinking differently after the friends of humanity betrayed him. So the prime sentinels could be his revenge for both humanity and mutants for rejecting him. Turning the former into his toys and the latter into his slaves.
