Inde Navarette casting as Rogue is lazy.

She was cast because right now she is an "IT GIRL" with Oscar buzz around her name.

Brown hair, brown eyes. Arizona and California based with Mexican and Australian heritage.

Marvel gave her fans priority over Rogue fans and they chose momentary hype over longterm dedication and comic accuracy.

Inde fans generate the hype and shout down Rogue fans. So Rogue fans have been cast aside for our own character and there is no harmony.

It is a clear greed move and shows that Marvel does not genuinely care about Rogue the character or Rogue fans.

Back in 2000, Anna Paquin was also miscast as Rogue. Similar formula.

Brown hair. Brown eyes. From New Zealand.

Cast purely on hype and Oscar buzz. She was their "awards girl" shoehorned into Rogue.

I'm tired of Rogue's character being the designated AWARDS GIRL insert.

Where Marvel have once again blocked out genuine potential live action castings that are closer to Rogue and DO exist.

So I won't support Inde as Rogue because she could have her pick of any character and chose the popular one over the right one.

Like at the beginning of the episode Exodus says he wants X-factor to release the captive mutants but then the episode turns into a court room where we're asked if the unrepentant lunatic deserves redemption?! He doesn't btw but I did enjoy the ending confrontation

When Exodus makes his demand it cuts to Pyro and that other villain mutant implying that X-factor only has criminal mutants,but we've already seen they've been rounding up kids as well. Maybe Jubilee got all the kids out but who's to say there aren't more kids and innocent mutants in those facilities?!

This episode was weird and half-baked. I get what it was trying to say even if I dont agree with it's message but the execution was just half baked. If we got more time to explore maybe it would've landed

Also is anyone else getting annoyed with the lack of world building in these episodes. Why is X-factor rounding up mutants? Are they refugees from Genosha?! Why were the X-Men outlawed? How's Rogue dealing with the loss of Magneto? You'd think episode 6 would be Rogues episode too.

I'm not asking for every small detail to be explained to me, but some context would be cool
