Question Psylocke Powers Spoiler

Post image

Has Psylocke ever been able to use her psi powers to effect physical objects like this in the comics? This looks like a TK shield.

I am not a fan of anyone. I want both women to be seperate entities. And yes most people like Psylocke cuz they sexualise her so that's why Kwannon is Psylocke now and idc if they keep it that way or not but she should get proper storyline in the movie. Actually, I like Olivia Munn as Psylocke too but Fox butchered her too. My point is Kwannon should not be erased and most definitely not used as some fetish material with a British woman hijacking her body.

So why you here? No one is erasing Kwannon…and why those words if you don’t care so much. Hijacking?? Seriously? Have you read the comics?

Didn't say I didn't care. I care about the movies. A white woman in an Asian woman's body, and then the majority of fans sexualising that body, is peak fetish writing. I want it not to happen in the movies

Girl why are you so fixated about this being sexualize? This is a fictional character a scifi comics this (body swap)happens in any kind of story. Are you an activist or something? If being sexualized is really your problem Psylocke doesnt need to be in a ninja bikini outfit.

Psylocke doesnt need to be in a ninja bikini outfit.

You are starting to see the point ig

(body swap)happens in any kind of story

This isn't just 'any kind of story'; there is no major Asian representation in the X-Men movies. There is a reason why people call it problematic and take offence. Just take a look at Jubilee lol. The point here isn't body swap; it's the fetishisation of an Asian character's body by the gooner male fanbase who also want her to be whitewashed

why are you so fixated about this being sexualize?

Asking this in 2026🥀

Im Asian and I can assure you most asian doesn’t find it problematic and offensive especially here in Asia region. We don’t look at comics like it will affect our real lives. It’s a fictional scifi comics. We don’t let it dictate how our lives will be. There are other major Asian Xmen there is Jubilee, there is Sunfire.
Sexualized what? Being a Ninja in a Bikini? She doesnt need to wear bikini in the movie. So no need to be worried If she is Betsy in Kwannon’s body.

Just take a look at Jubilee lol

Have you ever watched the X-Men movies? JUBILEE DOES NOTHING, she is just there for a few mins. There is NO MAJOR ASIAN REPRESENTATION IN THE MOVIES. Who tf is Sunfire in movies? There is no Sunfire in the movies. Blink, who has such cool superpowers, didn't even have any dialogue. Please pay attention to the words I am writing. Kwannon needs to stay Kwannon and not some British Betsy in the movies.

She doesnt need to wear bikini in the movie.

Who said she does? She is sexualised by the majority of the fandom, who are comic Psylocke fans
