Welcome Back Students! In today's lecture, we take a deep dive into one of the most complicated characters in the story of the X-Men, Madelyne Pryor and her journey leading up to and through the classic story Inferno.
Topics in this episode include: Who is Madelyne Pryor and why should you care? How she both plays into and subverts tropes that have historically been used against women, how different writers interpret characters, what happens when girls want to stop being nice and summon demons, and putting Anne Hathaway in a red wig!
Content Warning: This episode includes discussions of removal of bodily autonomy, mild discussions of body horror, and the death of children. There are also spoilers for Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo near the end of the episode.
