Oh, re: changing outfits, I meant to augment powers, not just change them, i.e. the garment grid system (in which changing outfits in a particular order rendered extra strength or magic or whatever). I don't find it problematic, just a bit over-the-top in its girlishness. I LOVE GIRLISHNESS IN MY GEEK STUFF, don't get me wrong. It just totally seemed like a bunch of dudes decided how to manifest it. Made me laugh and roll my eyes a bit, that's all -- I have a difficult time imagining women coming up with such a thing, as it's so stereotypical.

That's a very minor issue though. Main point is I think the hate for X-2, which I loved, is the result of sexism or misogyny. When I bought a second copy because I'd lost my first one, I was roundly mocked by the all-male staff at the store where I was a regular patron. Haven't gone to it since.

BTW, I was too lazy to sign up for a DreamWidth or OpenID -- this is Cecily Kane.
