Why Magik can't spell her own name? Is there a lore reason?
Why Magik can't spell her own name? Is there a lore reason?
Cause she’s a glassy eyed Russian whore who probably puts “the” before too many words
The Russians forget to use the, much like how I forgot to say they forget to use the. Maybe I’m the glassy eyed whore here.
Xavier has canonically raped her then mindwiped her a bit too hard later on
In her home tongue Magic is spelled Marnr, but the R is backwards and the L is doing a handstand.
Is there a lore reason?
Canonically she's supposed to be illiterate but a lot of writers forget that
you got the dick? because russians who got the dick can't be glassy eyed whores, they have to be drug dealers or junkies
Because Xavier crammed the knowledge of how to understand and speak English into her head, but never bothered to actually teach her to read or write it. And nobody else found out or cared to actually do so in all the time they knew her too.
She grew up in hell and didn't receive a real education
too much demon grooming, no time to learn human stuff
The real reason is that whoever wrote this thought it was quirky and funny.
It's not.
What reason could there possibly have been to retcon her literacy?
She's canonically uneducated. Her name is stylized but it's not supposed to be she just can't spell very well.
She's a retarded vatnik
Russian. So fetal alcohol syndrome.
I remember when her sword couldn't hurt normal people
She was in limbo since she was like 5 years old. She escaped when she was a teen. They don't have schools in limbo. She knows how to read words of power, magic tomes, and Demon texts, but not English or russian.
Actually, she's right. The real shit is ends with "k" or "ck". The parlor trick crap ends with a "C".
Not sure if this version got an education at Xaviers with the rest of the New Mutants. I saw a page with her apparently meeting her brother for the first time in this run, and she reunited with him a lot earlier than that in New Mutants.
The sex.
What happened to her eye?
The artist thought he was making a quirky face but apparently he can't.
How do i into magik?
So shes quirky enough for an autistic female to relate to.
Yeah, no, it just doesn't make sense, and I am saying it as a Russian. There's no K sound even in Russian translation of the word.
Retarded retcon, Chris Claremont even specifically made sure to depict New Mutants actually hitting normal ass books. And like, you can easily make a case for Magik to have problems with literacy (like, she's not just bilingual, she also knows demonic language canonically and she was raised in Limbo by Belasco), but if a writer brings it up they don't ever bother to explain it, so I am pretty sure it's just plain prejudice.
She isn't a Marvel Rivals original character?
Uncanny X-Men 160
Magik: Storm and Illyana miniseries
The New Mutants 14 - Inferno
I don't know about any of the modern stuff, but that's basically everything pre-2000.
Magik is a stupid fetish bait meme character who has long over stayed her welcome
