I'm so proud of you and
@Wakeupkeo for getting this out for all to see. To the former, after reading through your exhaustive, heavy-hearted June 27 post, I understand your reasoning for relinquishing control of this project over to another experienced faneditor. While we, for safety purposes, can't possibly know the full extent of your struggles (and to tell you the truth, a part of me doesn't
want to know what almost led you to your demise, and that's probably for the best), some of us have certainly had tough times in the past. We're none too different from each other.
I hope you'll find a place of solitude and comfort in the next chapter of your life, and whatever stood in your way these past few years shall never perturb you again. With Hugh Jackman ready to suit up for a road trip with the Merc with a Mouth in two years' time, this project will no doubt gain relevance and value as we experience first-hand what James Mangold originally had in mind.
Perhaps Fox's X-Men really had it going, moreso than the MCU of today. It's a shame
Dark Phoenix and
The New Mutants — and to an extent, the Disney merger — squandered its potential. Some of us are fearing how Kevin Feige and the minds at Marvel Studios will bring these legendary mutants to our screens in their own shared universe. Personally, my money's on the Fantastic Four. But I have high hopes that DP3 will turn the tides so long as it doesn't mitigate the impact of Logan's canonical exit from this beloved franchise.
The next ten years are going to be wild. Let's make the most of them.
As for you, Wakeupkeo… good on ya, pal. 👍
