This version of Nightcrawler is the gold standard example of a religious character done right. He is not a judgmental preacher. He is compassionate, kind, positive, wise and teaches other to be that way too. He is beautiful.
how did all the villagers just find out? did the nurse open the window and call everyone to get piokes and torches to chase him out of town just sporadically?
@@alexramos7708the Roma people have often experienced persecution throughout history wether it was them being enslaved in parts of Eastern Europe, them being misjudged and hated, or being persecuted and murdered by the Nazis during the Holocaust. Because of that Kurt’s adoptive parents knew first hand how horrible hatred and persecution are.
Probably cause most of the entertainment industry now a days seems to be hellbent on not allowing Christianity specifically to be put in any form of positive light.
Kurt Wagner, aka Nightcrawler, is one of the more unique characters that MARVEL has, along with one of a small group. That group is characters in comics that are more overt with their religious beliefs. A devout Catholic, even at one point a Catholic priest if I'm not mistaken, which is also interesting as he grew up in Germany, which is very Protestant, Lutheran to be more exact. He also has a strange family tree. His biological mother is a shape-shifting terrorist, his half brother is a mutant hating human, his father changes every reset, and his adoptive sister is Rogue. Other family has appeared from the multiverse. In one timeline, his daughter with Wanda Maximoff shows up. In a different story, Kurt became a big time movie star and married to a woman that shares his physical characteristics. They have 3 kids in that story. Nightcrawler is also one of the more difficult characters to get right in live action. Make-up is a given for the role. Here's hoping the MCU does Nightcrawler justice in first getting an actor that can convey the level optimistic faith the character has in the comics and in this cartoon.
Indeed, I also hope the MCU version actually explore his faith and optimism, daredevil had small mentions of his faith but was too few, and didn't weight much on all his decisions on the series he was in, one character I would love to see explored more of his religion is spiderman, there's a beautiful nuance of a superhero that is very scientific but also religious, and see a scene of Peter praying after a rough saga would be very nice on the MCU.
@@Mike-xh2vm I think that was the guy who created a version where this dude named Azazel (who's pretty much the devil) is his dad... Idk I don't care much about any other versions than this one.
In the comics, the mom is a witch who has the power of telling your future. The father is a wizard who has the power of talking to animals. They hid it by owning a circus. The mom became a fortune teller and the dad became a ringmaster. Because they're different, they don't care that Nightcrawler is a mutant.
That’s also probably why they were accepting of his powers as the Romani people have themselves experienced persecution and hate throughout their history.
You can see it that way, but his adoptive parents didn't judge him base on his looks, they just went "o cool blue baby" and took him in. Didn't turn him into a freak show, instead he was equal to their act and was loved. He was their son and nothing in the world can change that, this shows the worse in humanity and the best in humanity.
That's just another retcon Azazel was created in the mid 2000s his biological father in the show was a normal human I said it before and I'll say it again Azazel he takes away the uniqueness of nightcrawler the thing about mutants is you don't have to have two mutant parents to become mutants and even if you do have two mutant parents there's no guarantee your child would be a mutant Azazel didn't exist for 30 years of nightcrawlers life@@manuelgrothe608
Back then it was the generic rich man, that did not seem to have a name. The cartoon was 1992- 1997. Azazel wasn't created in the comics until 2004, which retconned to be Night Crawler's father.
@@sivakumarsubramaniam2388As long as Nightcrawler is done right. I've had a crush on him since I was 6 and I hate how those FOX movies made him sad and depressed.
Azazel doesn't have anything to do with nightcrawler azizel was created in the mid 2000 nightcrawlers father in the old comics and the original animated show was a normal human
@@manuelgrothe608 when you just randomly create something just to make him look cool it's not The high ground it's called copying and for the longest time Azazel didn't even exist I'm sticking with the old comics and besides the X-Men are back home now and so is 20th century Fox
