I get the impression here that you believe I think you should think the same way as I do (wow, what a mouthful)... my apologies if you got that impression from my post (if you didn't, my apologies for making that assumption), it was not intended in any way, hun.
I don't know How you're getting that impression, M. That isn't what my post above says, it's not even implied...I simply stated I don't feel the same. I don't believe your opinion or anyone else's should be the same as mine(some may feel the same way, many, maybe even most don't feel the same way). I would rather see my favorites treated with respect or not see them at all....that's it, babe.
Your quote below(from your post above) implied that I'm not a true fan if I don't feel the same as you.

....That may be why I was put on the defensive.
Differing opinions is what makes the world interesting. If everyone agreed with me, this forum would be post after post of, "I totally agree," instead of actual conversation... and that's just no fun at all. There would be no point in coming to this forum if the only words anyone ever typed in response were, "I totally agree."
I hear ya there....guess what?...I totally agree with you.

Though saying (or rather, typing, I suppose) these words goes against everything I said above... I totally agree.
I don't want a pale imitation of a character back, I had that in Exiles, thanks.

Just so there's no misunderstanding, let me start off with... though I disagree here, you're entitled to your opinion, it's yours, please keep it, don't change it (unless you want to), it's pretty, it's shiny, it's valuable, and though I may disagree, I still love your opinion!
To me, as long as a character is claimed by a writer (and used from time to time), there is always a chance for that character to be used... and even if they don't get a front burner storyline (I've been watching soaps for far too many years, oy), they're at least still there... they at least still appear occasionally.
Right now, no one can touch Magik because she hasn't been around in so many years (616 universe). After inquiries with a few writers, I've learned that many have tried to bring her back, but Marvel hasn't let them for mainly that reason...
BTW...Magik just appeared in one of the House of M books(I think it was New X-Men(Mutant Academy....or whatever it's called now).

(Crap... I'm gonna have to say it again...) I totally agree.
People are already under the mistaken impression that my favorite character is dead. Having her come back, only to be used as cannon-fodder, would suck beyond all imagination - and I have quite the imagination.

Honestly, I don't really have a favorite character that's even remotely on par with Magik. I wish I did, as it would make her absence a bit easier to bear.
Though this is a horribly off-topic question for me to ask (sorry, Ben! ... I was going to say, "please don't spank me..." but I think I might have changed my mind... I've been baaaaaad and deserve punishment
)... is the New Avengers worth reading? I'm glad to hear Jessica is being used, as she's a great character. Sadly, I gave up comics (again) during the Disassembled arc, and I had no idea she was being used again! I might have to start picking it up now...
Hey....I think Jessica is being treated very well by the writer(she's one of his favorite Marvel characters)....I'm only collecting it because of her, but I have to say....the recent storyline focusing on the Sentry is getting really good.
Just when you begin to think you've kicked the habit, it sucks you right back in!
