Actually, if Kitty Pryde could control the frequency that she uses to become intangible to pass through objects she could potentially phase through time. Or am I reading too much into this?
Short update on Kitty for you potential Comic fans: She's recently realized that being a mutant deprived her of having a normal teen life and saddled her with too much responsibility. With things on earth crappy but relatively stable, and her relationship with Colossus ended (and Piotr emotionally distant after he recovered from being possessed by the Crimson Gem of Cyttorak and the Phoenix Force), Kitty decided to do something wildly impulsive and just for her. She started a relationship with one Peter Quill, eventually joining the Guardians of the Galaxy and moving to space with Starlord. She received a cosmic-level power-boost that gave her all the powers of the most powerful version of herself from all alternate universes possible. When the planet Spartax was entirely encased in an amber-like substance so the alien Brood could infest/infect the entire population, Kitty saved the day by phasing the entire planet through its prison. While she has Ogun's assassin training in her head, and many years of X-Men combat training, Star Lord has been teaching her how to be a thief. Their relationship has gotten a little rocky and she has had to be his voice of reason, especially when he was involuntarily elected King of Spartax.
+Mitch Haelann Kitty has a Peter Fetish....NO NOT THAT Peter! Peter Rasputin, Peter Wisdom, Peter Quill She just gets all Phasey over someone named Peter, so watch out Mr. Parker!
I remember in the old days Kitty was a pain in the butt, crybaby, brat, but that just made her growth into a strong, level-headed, young woman all the more satisfying. It was smart to make her the main character in days of Future Past, because, then you got a hint that she wasn't going to be a brat forever. By the way, where's Lockheed the little, purple, dragon?
I was soooo PUMPED UP, when you made a vid about Kitty cause she is my favorite character :D I agree with you as i want to see more of her and shes a really great character 😊Thanks again, Faust
Kitty feels very much like what I like to call the "showgirl" characters. The likes of Rogue, Dazzler, and Jubilee also fit into this category. They're attractive peppy female characters that are often set to stand beside more popular mainstream characters (like Wolverine), occasionally play damsel in distress and/or comedic relief, and often have terribly vague or under developed pasts. It's pretty tragic I say, I mean Rogue was even a villain at the beginning of her career and her character like many of this type have progressed very little since joining the institute. While it seems on the opposite end of the spectrum overly sexualized females like Emma Frost get far more page time and are often thrust very quickly into positions of power, authority, or just plain become front runners. Emma's jump from baddie to team leader of the X-Men in such a short time was a fantastic example. Now, granted I do realize that the majority of Marvels line-up isn't exactly meant for, nor directed at, a female audience. So they probably think they're throwing us ladies a bone when putting females in positions of power, but does it have to be the gal whose common ensemble is derived from half lingerie, lol? I'm starting to diverge far off topic now, and feel I've overstepped my initial point. So I digress. I just wish they'd do more with our lil "showgirl" stand-ins.
You really know nothing about these characters or you wouldn't be criticizing them the way you are. I'm male so I really can't judge if they are positive role models for girls. But they are more than one dimensional damsels in distress.
No? Then why don't we see more of them? Why is it generally these characters usually tend to show up exclusively in other character's titles, and a nigh heard from in between usually? When was the last time we even saw Jubilee, period?
SwankyKitteh82 Battle of the Atom, she was part of the Main X-Men team along with a full female group, considered one of the strongest most independent X-Men team we have seen in years.
Got to disagree with you in this one. I think she had a lot of character development throughout all uncanny xmen and Excalibur!! You haven't even mention some of the big events of her life like his father's death, his parents divorce, her relationship with colossus! Idk but this vid it's too resumed in my opinion
lol thank you for taking such care in making your vids. loved the walk down memory lane! You know I read these stories - DEVOURED them is more like it - when they were new and I was younger than YOU! Can't tell you how exciting it was to wait and wait and wait every week and not know what was gonna happen - I can't even go see the movies these days without pretty much knowing everything that's gonna go down... I don't mind, you just reminded me how good the stories were back then, especially with the whole Claremont-Byrne-Austin thing going on - still love to look at the art.
Please do a history of Rogue, it might take forever, but she's very interesting. Especially with her romance with Gambit. I just love everything Rogue.
I’m going on a old vid marathon. But I just gotta day I love when you imitate these characters I love it. You give them such a sarcastic spin but also so true to their character, It’s just great.
Great video! I learn so much about her. Kitty is probably one of my favorite characters from the X-Men. I recently started watching your videos and now I can't stop. When I ran out of videos about characters I know, I started watching ones about characters that I'm not familiar with. And you did such a great job explaining them. BTW, how about a Donna Troy or Cassandra Sandsmark video next? I don't really know a lot about their character & would love to learn more. Once again great video, J
+Hawkstar123 I'm from New Orleans, so I have a special place in my heart and pull-list for Gambit, even if *EVERY* attempt at writing him has him speaking a Canadian version of French, instead of a Southern Louisiana Cajun French (Which is like trying to write Australian English by actually writing in British Cockney).
everytime i see or hear about kitty, i think of her powers and think "when she first got her powers, she probly didnt know how to control them, so if she went through a wall or something, would part of her be stuck in the wall?" or if she went through a floor, but didnt come out, would she die, while being stuck inside the floor ?
I love Kitty Pryde the character. I really think she has more potential then these comics are giving her and i really want to see more of her!! SHe's my fav character!
That was a totally intentional thing. Sometimes I'll intentionally miss out a thing or two about characters so if people do choose to go and read the comics, there are still things for them to discover for themselves.
Well she and Colossus did have a thing which i thought was really cute but apparently this sent bad messages to the audience (Dating a way older guy). So they decided to break the couple up :(
Off topic from what was mentioned in this video, but I remember stumbling upon a manga a few years ago that was based on Kitty. Don't remember what it was called, but I believe that Cyclops & Ice Man were main characters too.
i love this elisode i always thought kittys powers were lame. but since seeing this you change my mind. they shouldnt ignore i agree with you this character has much potential.
Just something i like to mention you did not mention shadow cats time with Excalibur much and this is quite upsetting to me because this is when she became one of my favorite characters. I wish that you had mentioned more about this team but thk you for the great video.
I thought storm couldn't be subjected to psychic attacks because of her weather powers...it's been said that even Professor X can't even use his power on her let alone Emma Frost
Idk if any one else said this but he didn't talk about the fact that she found Colossus on Breakworld who was thought to have been dead since the legacy virus (I think) and did the comic mention what happened with their relationship because I know when she came back they were trying to date but then he took on the Juggernaut thing and then become one of the Phoenix Five.
I love your videos Faust! and Kitty Pryde is my favorite X-Men, but you forgot to include her relationship with Colossus, her pet Lockheed, and the issues in x-men when she becomes a bit like X-23 where she grows a wolverine 'fang/claw'
One question Faust, did you pick up that miniseries on Kitty ? It was publish either late last year or early this. When I saw the cover I was very confused. Kitty's the only mutant that I know of that can phase through things. But on the cover she's blond. of course I could very easily be wrong about when it was published. It was quite a good miniseries. The series was called Mekanix.
You completely skipped over Excaliber? Kitty matured and became even closer to Nightcrawler and was key to the storylines of the book that continued for more than 100 issues.
I think their doing a pretty nice job with Kitty in the modern comics, with her being the leader and mentor. However I haven't read it in awhile, so I don't know if they've screwed it up since I last read. Like they did with Iceman.
I notices the mangas from the background would you ever consider talk about the history of manga characters I would love to hear like history of naruto something like that
I know for a fact your gonna do super boy and Damian Wayne but is was wondering if you would consider doing booster gold, the time traveling superhero from dc comics
I'd love a History of Magik episode! I've recently fallen in love with the character in Uncanny X-Men but I honestly don't know that much about her. Please and Thank You!
I feel like talking about some of her love interests would have been interesting. I have a love for Colossus and her together and it made me a little sad that you didn't make any comment on it beyond an image of the two passing through each other. Better luck next time, maybe?
What about Kitty being really good with technology and her pet dragon? also you didn't talk about her intimate relationships or is that not something you really do?
