0:00.0	Man, Elle. Chris Claremont really did have his special interests, didn't he?
0:06.8	That he did, Miles. Like, women's bodies transforming in various and
0:12.8	disordered ways. I'm not sure whether to be more impressed by the time Jean Grey
0:17.7	got tent calorms, or the time holistic got tent calorms, or time Rachel
0:23.6	someone's got tent turned into dinosaur. Yep, but if I had to pick what seemed to
0:29.8	be Claremont's favorite trope, I'd have to say it's probably mind control.
0:36.4	Definitely. And even with that we should probably disambiguate, otherwise we're
0:42.3	just describing most stories in this 17 year run. True, true. Okay, let's focus

1:30.9	eventually Wolverine helped Kitty learn martial arts to break free, and they
1:34.5	killed Ogan. You know, that's kind of a shame. I mean, he may have been a creepy
1:39.0	jerk, but he was a cool villain, or at least had a cool demon mask. I've got
1:45.7	a different news for you then, because Ogan absolutely came back from the dead.
1:50.5	Great, I think. I assume he possessed more people. That kind of seems to be his
1:56.0	deal. Well, definitely. After his big defeat, he started small with a couple of
