Just finished listening. There’s nothing really new if you follow her on tumblr and twitter tbh except for the “classic x-men meets eternal sunshine of the spotless mind” comment around 28 min.
You know, she's always struck me as a Rogue fan who happens to be also a Gambit fan and listening to this just reinforced this image.
I got that feeling early on though, and without this podcast. Based on her statements and her "leans" and projects she's been given, had already lead me to believe that it would be Rogue first as it were.
On point way of looking at it. I'd say pretty much the same. It is very much everything she's said but for those who haven't bothered it's a good way of getting to see her standpoint. Not a bad podcast, bit too hipster-stereotypical for my taste ("one true Wolverine" "one true Hawkeye", statements referring to Laura and Kate). The other host needs to adjust his low end and mids... That or take the mic out of his mouth.
However she did address her review of the Asmus Gambit series. Basically saying she was too judgemental of it after going back and re-reading the series and her subsequent reviews of it. That was able to better understand what was going on now that she was in the business now. So there's that.
Sure, she can say that now but damage was already done and the solo is gone. We knew she was being too judgemental and saying she was now because of being in the industry doesn't really help. She has perspective now, I suppose that is nice. Her mind was closed back then, how open is it now? Just a thought.
She will most likely make this book more about Rogue and Gambit being a romantic interest (or Rogue's purse, however you want to look at it) not being an equal in the book. And those comments are valid.
My expectation is low. I'll buy the next issue but she has said nothing to convince me that this will be good for Gambit, in general.
