Status Updates From X-Men: Pixie Strikes Back

And another pointless miniseries finished. What little character development could have been there was completely pointless, what we had about Pixie's background is partially contradictory within this series and could have been covered in one issue. Not to mention that we had the whole soulsword thing several times already, so who cares?

Pixie knows she is her mother? Was this ever mentioned before?

Sigh... why does this comic have Cecily falsely claim that an octopus has no brain? And why is it that cultural and biological inaccuracies are the only noteworthy elements about this story? So far it was pretty pointless, no character development and Pixie's parentage could have been cleared in a one-liner.

Wow, the very first time these idiots managed to use "Fräulein" realistically, as a way to talk down to a woman... at least I hope they did. And I have my doubts since they spell "a" instead of "ä", and say "der little sparkles"... which is really dumb as "sparkles" is clearly plural so the correct article is "die."

German trolls are not so ugly as the Mastermind sisters? Maybe I would consider this funny if Geman folklore actually had trolls. And surprise, it does not. You are more likely to find vampires there than trolls.

Oh great, the writers try to be funny by adding things into the boxes like "the demons are coming to the end of their contract."

This story is now just throwing things at you and I really cannot care about the characters or the story. I think this story moves way too fast and so characterization suffers from it.

We have a problem with the whole specialness of Pixie "running" towards her "mutant deformity" as she is basically a human sized pixie, with pink color, butterfly wings, pointed ears and even pixie dust. Why would that something you "run way" from? Also if she is able to restructure the illusion now, her behavior lets her come along like a jerk. Plus they have been in this illusion for 10 hours and no one noticed?

So the "reveal" is there already for the characters? Well sadly for the readers it was spoiled pages ago. So unless this red demon here is some know X-men foe, his reveal was completely pointless.

"Mama wants her Liebling"? Liebling either means darling, favorite, honey (when referred to a spouse or so) or a priced and famous person. And considered that neither Kurt nor Betsy have ever seen her, Kurt has no reason to belief Pixie is Mrs. Gwynn's favorite or anything. What do the writers think "Liebling" means? And I see they still haven't figured out how "Ach" is used.

Wow… Mrs Gwynn just told Nightcrawler "don't you Fraulein me" and that his "teutonic charms" won't work on her. In the German translation however she tells him to spare her his anachronism and that such pre-War charm will not work. And here in Germany "pre-War" means pre-WWII. And considered that this comic came out in 2010. You could argue that Nightcrawler is about 74 years out of date… these writers are so bad…

Hey writers: Native speakers usually do not speak about pecularities of their own language because they consider it normal. And according to he world Guinness book of world records there is no longer word in the German language than "Donaudampfschiffahrtsgesellschaftskapitän". Also I ever heard of it since compound words are used sparingly in German and this is out of use since 1991.

That joke with Rockslide not knowing that this is the girl's room simply does not work, because on an asteroid the size of this, there are too many people on it that they could have bathrooms without signs.
