    Yeah, the professor loses and regains the use of his legs on numerous occasions throughout the comics. It’s pretty wild.

    He originally becomes crippled after fighting his archenemy… Lucifer.

    His body is later destroyed during the Claremont run, after it’s transformed into a brood. His mind is recovered, however, and the Starjammers–with Dr. Moira Mactaggert’s assistance–manage to clone him a new body. Though it takes him a while before he can use it due to psychological pain.





  • That’s a valid question and I’ll try to give you an honest answer. It’s certainly easier to boycott works of specific actors, writers, or directors, than it is producers, though I try. I have undoubtedly watched movies from Weinstein’s production company without realizing, as you noted, his catalogue is enormous. Though if I’m aware of Weinstein’s involvement in a project beforehand, then I try to steer clear.

    I guess I boycott on a case-by-case basis. It’s a lot harder to boycott full production companies than it is individuals.

    That being said, there’s a reason I haven’t watched Chinatown despite hearing how great it is, or Shakespeare in Love, or American Beauty, etc. It’s also why I lost complete interest in Harry Potter and ignored Hogwarts Legacy. And going back to Neil Gaiman, I have several of his books, comics, and enjoyed most of his film and TV adaptations, but now thinking about any of his work leaves an unpleasant taste in my mouth.



  • Yeah, that’s not too surprising given the strong allegations against Neil Gaiman. While I enjoyed Dead Boy Detectives for what it was, I don’t particularly want to watch or read anything Gaiman has a hand with now.

    I just wonder how Sandman and Good Omens will be handled. I can’t imagine either show being scrapped at this point given the fact that both have been in production for so long, though I would be shocked if they were renewed for additional seasons.
