I think the most fascinating part is actually watching people try and make sense of it. There's been a lot of debate over at scans_daily between people who agree with her versus people who think she's full of shit versus people who think she maybe has a point but made it badly and is the last person who has any right to bring it up. I've even seen a couple of people citing it as evidence that the writers are deliberately trying to make her unsympathetic in lead up to having her finally punished for some of the other crap she's gotten away with lately. I think it all speaks to how hard it is to make sense of what direction the writers are even trying to go with her lately.
Oh my god, yes! Cable taking her to visit 13th century despots and then saying afterwards "see how easily I overthrew him by bribing the aristocracy to withdraw their support, this is why leaders need a security force which is loyal entirely to them and not to their position."
Or showing up at a battle and asking Hope which side they should fight for (he'd already be allied to one, of course but he'd want her to choose anyway).
=D Did I mention I would read the hell out of this series? Because I so would.
I still kinda want a Deadpool and Hope series really. His relationship with Cable (slash aside) is exactly the kind of reluctant, wary, admiration that they should be trying to model Hope's views towards him on. And the pair of them trying to follow Cable's footsteps and continue his work just seems like a goldmine of interesting plots given how unsuitable they both should be to that task.
I'm almost certain I remember reading an interview where they said we would be seeing Hope and Deadpool meet a while back, though I think it was an interview relating to that random Deadpool & Cable #27 which kinda made a mess out of trying to show Deadpool's reaction to Cable's death. It didn't sell very well however (and though I will never know for sure, I like to think this had something to do with other fans reading the preview pages and realising how bad it was going to be much the same way I did), and this may have killed any plans to do a #28 with Hope.
On principle, I like the idea of Deadpool and Hope meeting too, but from the way they've both been written lately I suspect I'd be happier without it. (Unless they got the Uncanny X-Force guy to write it that is - he writes a wonderful Deadpool, and he certainly couldn't do any worse with Hope than everyone else has been.)
