I don't know, she's too.....girly. It's hard to explain. I would not be a mary sue. i would just sit there and stare, not have the most incredible ability or anything.
Wait! I might dislike Kitty because she's the kind of girl that boys like, and i've never been. There, is that a good reason?
I think you vastly misunderstood the definition of a "Mary Sue". Wikipedia is your enemy...I mean Friend. Self-insertion is used to describe clear (and usually seen as indisputable) cases where the author has directly inserted a version of him- or herself into the story in lieu of a wholly or even partly original character, generally going so far as to use the same name or pseudonym for character and author. Self-insertion is also considered a Mary Sue. I should know. I've done it in the MFL. Generally it's a practice frowned upon.... however I have the megadeuses to shut the haters up.  |

i guess you're right, but it kinda depends on what you consider to be a mary sue. Yes i consider inserts as a factor, but for me they would have to be the annoying person you thinks they're better than every one else. do you get my meaning? whatever, think what you like...

Bllue, how would turning yourself into an X-Man not be a Mary Sue?
And what's wrong with Kitty? I mean, Whedon's amping her up a bit more than is prudent and suchly, but yeah.
Whedon has Buffy Syndrome still. This is of course the reason for his rampant Kitty love. War. |

 SERENITY NOW! The plot is that Xavier's is an all-boy school, except Kitty Pride. She has to decide to hang with Pyro and his "Brotherhood" or with the misfits, which are apparently the X-Men.
This means that the anime, aside from all the new ways it found to fail, will be reproducing one of the movie trilogy's biggest causes of NERD RAGE, Pyro being at the school. I see a dangrous problem with this, one that I don't want to put into words exactly but that involves the phrase "yaoi gateway drug" |

"yaoi gateway drug"
You say that as if the fanart hasn't already started. I mean, there was some picture where they had Cyclops, Jean, Rouge, shirtless and buff Nightcrawler and Quicksilver as a punk band. They didn't even have Quicksilver as lead guitar, somehow telekinesis is better for shredding than super-speed, and considering how much creepy stuff there is of Superman and Batman, who aren't even made into schoolboys... yeah. |

Crud, he looks like something out of Naruto... Why would they do such a thing to X-Men? Because you touch yourself at night. War. Hey! So I picked my ear? So what... Alright, I guess that's technically "touching yourself" but hey, it was REALLY itchy and...wait... he meant that, Big Money? Vegeta, dude, you're one sick monkey! So, I guess you belong here with the rest of us... Please no yaoi! You can have brotherhood without yaoi. That's the 4Chan talking... It's not you... Just say no... Walk away from it... Just be thankful that they stayed away from the yellow spandex this time... |

Well, there are probably...um...let's call them "reruns" on YouTube, m'kay? Both subbed and dubbed. It' s probably cheaper than renting or buying all 50 episodes. By the way, the dubbed episode 50 from Cartoon Network was missing parts of the beginning and end, so you might have to check out the subbed version of it. (I say might because, by now, a fixed dubbed version may be available.) |

The initial run did cut off the prologue and epilogue, but [as] reran the full episode sometime the following week.
By the way, volume 12 (of 12) was just released.

Seems like Bandai has picked up Gundam 00, but even bigger news, Bandai has picked up Gurren-Lagann from ADV, which is actually a good thing.
