What's up with Psylocke? I haven't heard of them doing anything with this character for years and now all of a sudden she is popular again. What is the appeal of this character?
What's up with Psylocke...

T&A
Cameron Powell
Psylocke's cool. and they finally fixed the thing where she was literally a white british woman in an asian woman's body.
Owen Cox
So is she all British now or all jap?
Cooper Morales
They've fucked her up by undoing the bodyswap and their trying to push Kwannon as Psylocke as interchangeable for Betsy Psylocke, while making Betsy in a psychic pixie dust recreation of her old body as a new captain britain.
All because twitter tried to get Cebulski cancelled for using a japanese pen name because he replaced the Alonso and they thought he was going to clean house of their sjw nonsense.
It's completely retarded.
Bullshit. Psylocke isn't right unless it's Betsy in the ninja body and look.
Levi Morris
Their was nothing wrong with the body swap. It was practically part of her origin story since she only became popular after the swap.
Luis Perez
Yes
Mason Miller
Jaxson Harris
Betsy is back to being brit. The jap lady is also running around.
Andrew Ward
Both, we have two Psylockes!
stay mad. They let you keep the sexy ninja! Learn to love Kwannon.
Camden Lopez
No sweat!
Liam Adams
No
Psylocke isn't Psylocke unless she has Betsy's personality and british accent.
Ethan Brooks
yeah so it might as well just been a psychic lady since the beginning
Elijah Peterson
What's up with the name Kwannon? That doesn't sound like a Japanese name at all. Was this just from that era where Americans loved everything about Japan but didn't care enough to learn Japanese names?
Dominic Walker
nah
most people are surprised when they learn about the body swap shit
Matthew Richardson
It's an outdated incorrect romanizination of "Kannon"
Noah Rivera
Kwannon needs work. They wanted to give her a personality in Fallen Angels and that fell flat, now they just keep shoving her into stuff since she has iconic cheesecake design.
Jason Peterson
>Was this just from that era where Americans loved everything about Japan but didn't care enough to learn Japanese names?
yes
yeah Fallen Angels was bad. I have hope for her in Hellions if we ever get more.
Jaxon Brown
Yeah, meaning they could of just found someway to retcon things so Betsy has always been asian and is Brian's half sister/step sister/adopted sister instead of twin. If it was actually a problem, which it wasn't.
Jordan Fisher
She has a lot of potential and can work even better in the MCU, just don't make her a feminazi or a Rose Tico and respect the source that everything will work
Asher Roberts
Cooper Morris
Must you hamfistedly force politics into literally every thread?
Cooper Ross
Is there some reason why her purple psychic energy stuff takes the shape of a butterfly or do they just do it because it looks cool?
Nathan Brown
>love women with British accents
>but also love Asian girls
Asian girls with British accents are my Kryptonite.
Juan Ortiz
Motifs are cool. Also helps her stand out from akl the other telepaths.
Jordan Reyes
Kwannon is a total mess right now.
Name is based on a mistranslated name of a Buddhist goddess, we still don't know her real first OR last name.
We barely know anything about her past.
Why the fuck would she run around in Betsy's outfit? She never wore a leotard or anything similar before the bodyswap, that was an outfit that they gave BETSY. Kwannon was decidedly non-slutty and now she's in the Psylocke suit because uh
Jaxson Flores
>whats up with psylocke's sudden surge of popularity
it was because of fortnite's X-force collab user, she was in the item shop along with cable and domino
Wyatt Young
The question here is why Psylocke of all characters would get a skin. I get Cable and Domino because they were just in Deadpool 2 a few years ago so everybody knows them (which makes it even more surprising that they'd use the comic designs over the movie designs, but I'm not complaining). But I cannot imagine a single person who plays Fortnite except me knows who Psylocke is.
Isaiah Russell
>retcon things so Betsy has always been asian and is Brian's half sister/step sister/adopted sister instead of twin.
Why retards trying to force that shit? It's even more stupid than swap itself. There are dozens of issues where she is blond and a fucking TWIN-sister. You can't be half-twin-sister or step-twin-sister or adopted twin-sister. And there is a point in her life where she was turned into Japanese woman. You can't retcon everything.
Jacob Kelly
It's not a mistranslation, it's a romanization of an archaic form of the Japanese name for the bodhisattva Guanyin. It's basically the same as calling Betsy Captayn Britayn. Also Kwannon is her real given name, we just don't know her surname or anything about her past. Granted, neither does she as canonically amnesiac following the injury that left her comatose and anyone who could tell her that information is long dead. Although regarding her outfit, wasn't she running around in a swimsuit and gimp mask combo for a little while?
Jace Flores
>amnesiac assassin
God, I'm so sick of this trope.
Jace Rodriguez
>Also Kwannon is her real given name,
That's a retcon, if so. Originally it was her cool Hand assassin nickname.
