now that im reading marvel comics again, im remembering why i stopped reading all new x-factor. i tried so hard to enjoy it for georgia and lorna, but yeesh. the way doug was crashing out, and the fact that they kept dragging pietro along in the weirdest ways. it was legitimately absurd how they had doug have sex with danger just to fuck around with doug/warlock truthers. like, it was weird! it was like if joss whedon was writing it. like they were having fun making doug constantly suffer, with warlock just dragging himself behind bc nobody on that editorial board was brave enough to just admit they did not care about doug OR warlock and just wanted to write robot porn without both the mutie and the robot having penises. honestly one of the most disappointing things peter david ever did write 😭
