"On occasion a writer will do this sort of a scene. And I hate it every time it comes up.I hate it because it’s not genuine, it’s all about playing to the cheap seats, to the long-time readers who understand the tropes of comics, and pointing out that the characters are just lines on paper." What did you think of Peter David working it into X-Factor as a plot point with Siryn and Banshee?

I’d have liked it better if I hadn’t seen him do the exact same bit with Rick Jones years before–a character for whom you could more readily make the argument that they would understand and acknowledge the rules of the fictional universe they inhabit.
So no, didn’t like it. It’s a scene for readers who are cynical and have read too many comic books, rather than for human beings.

That got paid off down the road though. Right before her “baby” was born, Siryn realized she’d been in denial and accepted Sean’s death. It was pretty touching. onionhighonionandrenown reblogged this from brevoortformspring
