>>104551142I thought this was because the writer 's first Waifu was Brit Betsy and not becuase of the Cebulski used a Jappanese pen name?
I'm a bit detached from the situation as I was already generally disinvested in marvel before this,besides preferring Asian Betsy, but I can't see this lasting, if its not a political agenda thing. Asian-locke is too iconic.
They could try to reform Kwannon, and have her take the Psylocke name and place on the X-Men, but unless they put a lot of effort and time into that you'd get a rushed crao story that's meant to check boxes so marketing gets a Psylocke that looks iconic. And I really don't see fans of either Betsy being pleased with that.
Or they could just fuck reality so Betsy retconned as being half japanese/half british. Or Adopted.
Or more likely if it's not SJW complaining based, the next writer will contrive some way to get her back into Kwannon's body.
I understand they left her keep the Psychic blades, right? Did they let her keep her Ninja skills? If so, then the only way this has a chance of sticking is if they put her back into the one-piece bathing suit and thigh-highs, may be make her hair a darker shade of purple and convince people the change is negligible at best(different facial features).
