All-New X-Men #20

This is, by far THE worst characterization of X-23 I have ever seen in my entire life. It was horrible. Even in Avengers Academy X-23 still felt like X-23 because of her mannerisms and dedication towards her friends, yeah the series was bad but overall I could at least respect that. Bendis demonstrated pretty simply that he has never read a comic book with Laura in it his entire life. X-23 has always had a formal form of speaking and a cold, calculating look/personality, even towards her close friends. She had always shown concern but she still retained her restricted character. Here? she basically speaks like a regular teenager who, if not for the dire circumstances would ask to go to the mall, hell I was even afraid that she'd say something like OMG. I don't even mind the romance thing anymore, if it had been well executed I might have given it credit, who knows, but bendis is very doesn't treat characters with respect. X-23 doesn't EVER say something like wow or That's so Weird, she'd instead say This is very peculiar because that's how she has been raised, as a basic robot who eventually corrected her mistakes and became human. Even if she spends most of her time around other teenage girls i doubt she'd pick up on the lingo, Scratch that, I don't doubt, i'm SURE she wouldn't, not at least if 10 years don't pass.

Terrible, simply terrible.

What ever happened to Bendis's Daredevil days? The only book I like of his now is Uncanny. I really like what he's done with Cyclops. Sill, he used to be a much better writer.

@xwraith:

Apparently, Daredevil is cursed (see also Frank Miller and Ann Nocenti).

What do you mean by that?

so from a cold, distant girl she turned into a teenage mall-rat-type-girl because of traumatic event? -_-

@rixec: I could go along with that, if Arcade kidnapped them to teach them all how to fit in better. Nothing that happened on that island would lend itself to this.

@rixec: These types of changes don't happen, if anything she'd go back in her shell. This was terribly written, no what ifs about it.

Well she's been through worse. and it only proves my point that they ruined x-23.

No, but knowing bendis, and having seen how he writers X-23, tied with the fact that Bendis will be using her more often in the future, shows that if not now, her character will soon be ruined.
