When Crackity gets past them I'll post a big ol' rant about it
Well, I really shouldn't have been surprised by it. She had mentioned twice, on the same page, in the beginning of the issue that she was going to be giving him his own private training session.
If you go back and read #52, and then you read #53, pretend this is your first go with Alpha Flight, pretend you have mostly been traumatized by Mantlo's run, and pretend you have just lost every character in the story that you ever cared about (and that includes Heather, but that's been one, long, dragged out good bye for over 20 issues now). You will know what I am talking about. Or at least remember the feeling.
awwwww!
Don't! Phil, no! You'll ruin your reputation among Crackity as the best person on this forum!
Patience, Padawan. It will be quite some time.
It was out of the blue, and made me feel sorry for Puck.
I still couldn't resist a Billy Joel joke, though. Perfect set-ups like that don't come along every day.
Unlike you, I didn't read them in order the first time. Maybe that had something to do with it? I EXPECTED characters to appear and disappear without introduction or fanfare, so when it happened I wasn't surprised.
Also, I don't have to pretend I've mostly been traumatised by Mantlo's run.
Mostly.
I have re-read all of them in order, though, since.
Is this what I was referring to, do you suppose, when I talked about the bad things said about Mac being kinda retconned away?

Phil is AWESOME!!!!!
But I have yet to come across anyone here who is NOT awesome (including you ).
As much as I'm sure you love the fact that this is torturing me, I will be patient.
Oh! Yeah, the INITIAL relationship/hit-on/development/whatever of Heather and Jeffries made me feel bad for Puck, but I was specifically referring to the private training session from issue #53
I can never tell with you if you liked Mantlo's run or hated it. hahaha. You say, a lot that you didn't like it, but then you say something that makes me second guess if you are joking or serious. OR? I DO NOT KNOW.
Maybe? I am not sure. Only YOU know what you were referring to. There could be OTHER things during Mantlo's run that you were referring to, and I wouldn't know because I haven't read it yet.
I'm glad she finally had a sensible thought bubble, though.
Yeah, yeah. hahahaha.
You don't know me! :P
So it's to be torture?
No, I don't love that side of it.
To me, their relationship came from nowhere, seemed very random, and stomped on things that'd gone before.
So, yeah.
Overall, I did NOT like it, but there were things in it that I did like.
Sometimes I'm joking, but still telling the truth.
In this case, I don't know either. I just remember having a feeling of relief that they'd retconned away (even vaguely) something I'd hated from the beginning.
Whatever it was may not have been in Mantlo's run.

"Must I hold a candle to my shames?"
BUT I FEEL LIKE I DO. OOOOH.
Wtf were we even talking about with this again?
Yes, it did. I think it was Mantlo's sad attempt to make Heather appear like some liberated, independent woman who could think for herself and finally let go of "rotten" Mac so she could love again. And it failed (at least where I'm at in reading, it fails at feeling genuine). It's gross. I wanted Puck to win. *sigh*
I liked the issues with Namor and Marrina and the almost-pustule babies.
Yeah, that Wolverine garbage, her thinking Mac created him, betraying her, being just bad, evil Mac, I'm glad that is all done.
Where do you find these things?

I found Puck and Heather distasteful.
Eugene was so greatful to Mac for all he'd done for him; the last thing he'd do would be to jump on Heather as soon as he died.
I liked Puck as Heather's rock, like Logan was.
Why can't a man and a woman just be friends?
But you have to understand, that yes, it started during Byrne's run, but it wasn't truthfully established during Byrne's run. I mean, it was obvious that he had feelings for her, and he started to admit it during the talk Shaman had with him, but he still didn't come out and say it. And no, woe-is-me-Heather-could-never-love-a-dwarf thought bubbles yet.
Yes, and as I stated, it did start during Byrne's run, but it was still tasteful. He wasn't a woeful, lost puppy dog following her every move. He truly seemed okay with being there for her without other motives pushing him.
I do agree, but as a broken record, it started during Byrne's run. And it became obvious pretty fast that he had feelings for her, but Mantlo just made it pitiful and awful.
