You're most likely right, and I'll honestly be satisfied with whatever they pursue, as long as Julian and Laura remain important to each other in some capacity. I think it's a waste to drop it entirely after NYX, but I'd be satisfied regardless of whether it translates to platonic friendship or romance. I think the latter is (as I itted in the article) more wishful thinking on my part than the path they'll probably end up on, haha, and that's okay.

In fairness, even if they were full blood relations again, Pietro always thinks he and Wanda are first string and no one else hits that level. I chalk that up mostly to Pietro being Pietro. Generally speaking, though, I'm also 100% on board with Marvel fixing things to let Magneto be their actual father in all aspects again.

I think that, unfortunately, one of Reed's greatest flaws is that he doesn't give as much credence to magic and leans too much on the idea that he can find a way around it. Sometimes, that's the case, but if he took the approach you suggested instead...he'd have much better footing to begin with. It's not as if he's unfamiliar with the concept of magic and the supernatural, but he usually refuses to engage with it until he has to.

Essentially, yes. Including cosmic level beings like Silver Surfer, etc blows most earthbound speedsters out of the water, and the goal for this particular list was to highlight some of the recently introduced ones (like Prisa and Loolo) rather than lean on the obvious.
