I knew from way back that Betsy and Kwannon shared one body. But I am SO glad that they are 2 separate women now! Kwannon is way better! And her keeping the Psylocke name is just icing on the cake. Her thing with Greycrow is interesting as well.
@@rickrollrizalperhaps. Might also be due to simplifying a convoluted origin story. Like imagine having to cast Psylocke in live action. Heck even in animated series she hasn’t had much major appearances. Just short voice lines or minion roles. Would wish if they can flesh out Betsy and Kwannon respectively and have the switcheroo be an easier story to keep track. I’m still confused when Mojo implanted her with machine eyes.
I’m a Psylocke fan since the 90’s. The snes game Mutant Apocalypse made me a fan of hers and made me buy X-Men. Finally Kwannon and Betsy are different women now. Owning their own body it’s their right to. Kwannon is definitely the definitive Psylocke. Her story is so painful and heartfelt and brave! Can’t wait to find out more
This series is at the top of the X Solo series for me. Love to see the continuation of the Psylocke/Scalphunter subplot from the Hellions- a series I enjoyed. Great video!
Kwannon all day. Betsy was so boring back in the day that they had to give her the Psylocke identity. Shes so boring now, even with the Captain Britain mantle lol
Love the character. Like the idea of her as a solo character that regularly teams up random like. She , to me never fit in or was maybe underused so i never got a good sense of her persona other than shes fearless and skilled. I like the idea of her with a team of lesser powered/combat based heroes or agents as like a covert strike force. I thought her power set was a little ill-defined which made it seem like she could never be soundly defeated or outmatched. Everyone except for the ridiculously op heroes has limits but when writers refuse to put those on a character the stories are less complex and interesting plus the reader needs to have a handle on what can be expected from them so they can have those expectations sometimes challenged but mostly justified. I like her though. Super sexy. May be one of her powers.
I hear you! I always felt she was underused too, and her powers could be better defined. Seeing her as a solo character teaming up randomly sounds exciting. A covert strike force with lesser-powered heroes would make for some great stories. And listen, let's just keep it 100, She looks Amazing!

💯 It's great has depth
It's a cheap way to get rid of what the left deem a "problematic" story

They have completely changed her personality. And where's her daughter?
@@lukeamparo6586she was cast in live action.
Psylocke was my first comic crush
Def same

Hey, I totally get where you're coming from! It's awesome that Kwannon and Betsy are now separate characters, each owning their own story.

Thank you. Storm's Opening one was pretty good too. Hoping Issue 2 keeps that going.
6:35 I like how it looks like it's made out of amethyst, which is said to enhance psychic abilities.
Betsy got destroyed by tini howard’s writing during Krakoa.
Thankfully now we have Psylocke
2:19 ooooooooooooooooo, this is fire. I love that line to the girl about her dad’s political leaning.
true. so many little nuggets in this one.
Let's Goo!! Been wondering when you would cover some more of the newer X Men Stories.
It's been tough, we feel like not a lot of people are into them. We've been keeping up with the reads but haven't covered a lot for that reason.
Psylocke artwork is peak sexy ninja! Olivia Munn better be in the next Deadpool/Wolverine!
Listen Man. Psylocke is Hot!
They've done a very good job with her design.
Betsy annoys me I couldn't care less about Britain or Avalon although .. . I like her brother's wife. But I love Kwannon
Kwannon all day. Betsy was so boring back in the day that they had to give her the Psylocke identity. Shes so boring now, even with the Captain Britain mantle lol
I love psylocke so so much!! 🤩👍🔥
Seems good. Better than Storm#1. Good villains and fight scenes.
Storm 1 was interesting. We have something out on both 1 and 2 soon for Storm.

Good.
I swear the more i read this the more i wanted to help her with life lol
LOL. Facts!
No hate, I just grew up with Betsy as psylocke so she's got my vote.
i hear ya on that
So stunning
Wasn't she supposed to be Captain Brittain or something?
Their bodies were switched, and now they have been switched back to their normal bodies so they both have been Psylocke
@dezzychamberland1 Wait, switched bodies?
@@ContagiousSponge yea. For 29 years of publication history, the character was body-swapped in-story with the assassin Kwannon
It felt like a throw back to "Resident Evil"!🫣
I felt this. Thats why i had to throw in that nemesis comment because i def felt like i was playing my old n64 again lol
