Who Here's With Me? She's Hidden in Darkness Too Long!

Post by RavEnigma »

Who else here thinks Callisto should at least get featured more often, if not get her own series? Come on, I know I'm not the only Morlock-lover out there! I really think she and the other Morlocks should get more recognition! I mean, what they're doing with her in Excalibur is great, yeah, it's fantastic, but I want more! She's such an amazing character, why not use her more? Give us some backstory! Who else agrees with me?

When I first saw her I thought she was a major B**** but in Excalibur they have shown her to be much more of a person. I also half to admit that she looks so much cooler with hose weird green tentacle arm things.

You did? :shocked Wow....when I first saw her, I identified with her. I thought she was just a misunderstood shero, trying to good, and doing something amazing, but being looked down on by the 'better ones' just because she was trying to carve her own niche in 'their' world.

Looks like we have two different perspectives, DD. I'd be interested in hearing why you thought that, actually.

Looks like I'm the only one who thinks this. :( Why? To quote someone: "Not a lot of people like the Morlocks." Well, not a lot of people like me. And so what? The time where the outcasts are ignored is OVER! I'm writing Marvel and asking them to give Callisto and the Morlocks the respect they deserve, and who knows, they might just listen! I don't care what you say, Steve, I have a chance! *puts hands on hips*

I think you're taking this on a very personal way, he just told you how things works, he has nothing personal against you.
He just explained how Marvel works, all he said was that Marvel tend to release books that they know will make money... because that's what companies do... they go for money $$.. big deal.
If you're going to write Marvel, i wish you the best luck, honestly, it will be a miracle if they answer you back, but please stop taking things on a personal way.
Thanks.

I remember when not many people liked Nightcrawler. Those were the days.

Just watch, RavEnigma. The Morlocks will become superstars and everyone will love them. And then the mystery and rejection that originally drew you to them in the first place will be gone. Gone! *shakes fist*

And then the mainstreaminisation begins. HORRORS. In the event of the total assimilating popularity you think you want, I predict they make Callisto a nun to try and make her more "acceptable" and "less scary" to children.

And then the fanfic will come. Piles and piles of fanfic. But it will all be lousy and uninspiring drivel about her vows of chastity, and how she hates herself for not fitting the Christian ideal.

$@%&*$*%&@!!!!

Okay, done projecting now. :)

Drastic Spastic, you are seriously funny. Personally, I want Marvel to make Callisto a leader. She did really well with the Morlocks, why not give her a chance with another group? And I think the letter will get answered....I'm pretty good at playing up the self-esteem-challenged-teenage-girl angle, especially when I say how much Callisto inspires me and how thankful I am to Marvel for giving me such a role model. Stuff like that always works.

The first time I saw Callisto was when she was ripping Angles wing feathers off. Then the next thing I see her do is try to force Kitty into marriage against her will. I think that was why I didn’t quite care for her at first. But now she is a much different character.

It's true a lot of people didn't like Nightcrawler first. And you know what Drastic Spastic ?? They still don't !
Stupid audience... :evil

Regarding Callisto, I only began to like her when she had this relationship with Piotr Rasputin at the end of the eighties.
I'm glad she's a part of Xavier's crew in Excalibur. And I love her new arms !! She's the only one crazy enough to accept this mutation with a laugh. :)

Yeah, I completely agree, Diablo. That's one reason I like her so much...she has a twisted sense of humor, like me (on a driver's ed quiz, when asked 'There's an animal in the middle of the road. What do you do?', I answered: If it's dead, run over it. If not, swerve and hope it doesn't move.' I have some commonalities with Callisto, which is one factor in why she's my favorite non-X-Team X-Men character. Ex: We both have vision problems (I'm nearsighted, plus I get ocular migranes), we both have bad luck with guys, we both have a tendency to hold grudges, and we both are outcasts. Plus, she just looks cool.

Yeah...I totally agree. Though I would like to see her fixed up with someone...a LASTING relationship, not like the short little romance she had with Piotr. She deserves it.
