I've Almost Always Heard Illyana In My Head With An American Accent, Or At Least Much Less Of A Russian

I've almost always heard Illyana in my head with an American accent, or at least much less of a Russian accent than her brother.

This? This reads as very Russian to me.

Illyana Rasputin in Wolverine: Black, White & Red #3

She tells no lies. She is very popular.

I'm sorry, but all *I* can hear during THAT climactic moment in the latest episode of Agatha All Along is, "Happy birthday to the GROUND!"

And that's the moment Pacifica Northwest became my favourite character.

Finally moved shit out of the way so I could take a good pic wearing the new boots. 😂

Finally read Exceptional X-Men #1, and followed it right up with #2, and I rather enjoyed it. Aimless Kitty avoiding things is very relatable to me right now, but I digress.

I have two main random thoughts.

Weird recurring trope of people messaging Kitty apologising about being a stalker.

Kitty is talking to herself A LOT.

Which isn't in and of itself a problem, but when it's being used as narration and exposition, it comes off as REALLY awkward. Writers do it from time to time to deliver information, and while it can be a bit weird, when it's done sparingly, it's fine.

There's this one page in issue two, where she's walking along, and talking out loud to NO ONE about her date she has to keep rescheduling. Which I could run with as someone muttering about something, but when she says out loud "Her name is Nina".

Um....I hope you would know that? Who are you telling this to besides the reader?? It is SUCH a clunky way to deliver exposition, and it's not made any better if it's revealed later on she's talking to a telepath.
