Matt ParentHOST
But we're getting ready to talk about one of my favorite things that the X-Men have done in the last few decades, really.
Matt ParentHOST
Krakoa is its own challenging thing to get into and talk about, but I think the Hellfire Gala... is this sort of special event book that now happens, or it's happened four out of the last five years, right? Maybe five out of the last six years.
Matt ParentHOST
I think we missed one because of Fall of X.
Matt ParentHOST
But I'm curious how you feel about the Hellfire Gala.
Cameron HebronGUEST
Just from someone who like, I do fashion photography for runways during fashion week.
Cameron HebronGUEST
So just from a like runway design and as an aspiring designer myself, it's like really interesting to see what costumes work, what costumes don't.
Matt ParentHOST
Outside of the actual narrative, it is a cool event to look forward to in the summer.
Matt ParentHOST
I can understand...
DaveHOST
Real X-Men fans don't want it, don't need it, hate it.
DaveHOST
Um, we probably also don't need the Hellfire Gala ever again.
DaveHOST
You know, I could live the rest of my-
RichHOST
No, please no
DaveHOST
...
DaveHOST
I could live the rest of my life and not hear about what fucking dress Storm is wearing to the Hellfire Gala or whatever is going on there.
DaveHOST
Like, nothing interesting is going on.
DaveHOST
And the way they tried to make that a thing was, you know, so that this little tiny portion of the audience was, like, all aflutter about it, um, you know, was just...
AdamHOST
Real X-Men fans don't want it, don't need it, hate it.
AdamHOST
um we probably also don't need the Hellfire Gala ever again you know I could live the rest of my life and not hear about what fucking dress Storm is wearing to the Hellfire Gala or whatever is going on there like nothing interesting is going on and the way they tried to make that a thing was you know so that this little tiny portion of the audience was like all a flutter about it um you know, it was just so
DaveHOST
craven and just so pandering.
DaveHOST
And like most X-Men fans would have just thought, what a pile of shit, you know? Like, please, like, you know, a tiny little section of the fan base was like loving it, man.
Allison ParentHOST
Megan Linnaeus.
Matt ParentHOST
On Monday we are talking the Hellfire Gala, the original Hellfire Gala.
Matt ParentHOST
Uh, two issues from it actually, Planet-Size X-Men and, um, the end of the Jonathan Hickman run.
Matt ParentHOST
I think it's X-Men number 21, uh, w- uh, with our pal Cam He- Cameron Hebron.
ZachHOST
So what it is is C- Kurt's going through his crisis of faith.
ZachHOST
He gets super drunk at the Hellfire Gala, and he eventually wakes up, finds Stacy X, and she takes him to the Bowery, which is the place where people can go to hug babies if they're sad.
ZachHOST
And wait, why do we have so many babies? Because people have been having babies and just leaving them around.
AdamHOST
Yes.
D'Manda MartiniHOST
Wait, four or five? Why?
Logan StoneHOST
Well, because two of them are for the show, and then two for, like, because I'm doing a separate one for the Hellfire Gala, and two for the show, and then two for, like, walking around the day of.
Logan StoneHOST
Like, one of them I might wear during the day.
D'Manda MartiniHOST
Well, yeah, I was going to say, no, so technically, yeah, on Saturday I am wearing two for the, yeah.
Ryan WefmanHOST
No, Sinister is the play for sure.
Ryan WefmanHOST
Um, I know you can also play the Hellfire Gala one, but I think-
Miles KaneHOST
Yeah, I'm just not-
Ryan WefmanHOST
...
Kira C. DavisHOST
And Marius is feeding from her ashes in this form, which...
Kira C. DavisHOST
By the way, completely separate from anything, I just want you to know that the headpiece that I wore to the Hellfire Gala, one, took forever to put together, and two, was a part of a penance Hellfire Gala look that I tried to replicate more or less, and Made my own.
Kira C. DavisHOST
Anyway, completely separate, right? So when we're thinking about how Penance fits in within kind of the rest of mutation setups, because again, we already have Monet who has all these things where she's kind of perfect, and then she's got this whole thing where she's been shifted and forced into this other form of space thing, right? As Penance...
Kira C. DavisHOST
It's not how like Emma Frost has like her telepathy kind of thing.
TimHOST
That's this.
KrisHOST
Like, we'll get little tidbits here and there that are moving things along and then you have, like, you know, X of Swords and all of that and Hellfire Gala.
KrisHOST
But you're right.
KrisHOST
You then look over there and you're like, oh, Wolverine is surfing.
KrisHOST
You know, pandemic's getting a little better, but it's still pretty bad.
KrisHOST
Comics were on hiatus for a while, and then they came back, and all these stories are happening.
KrisHOST
You have the Hellfire Gala going on, and everybody loves it.
KrisHOST
It's this huge, line-wide event where everybody's getting together, and then, whoa, the mutants just terraformed Mars, and now it's Arako, and everybody's on this big high.
