I want them to do both Betsy and Kwannon this time around eventually and get the relationship between the two right and avoid bodyswapping.Past 3 years, I've grown to love Kwannon as much as I love Betsy. She deserves a thread as much as Betsy.
I'm many years behind on the comics and I see you mentioned you'd grown to love Kwannon over the last 3 years. Is it all handled better recently compared to the 90s comics?Without the bodyswap, the relationship doesn't need to be there.

Oh good to hear. This is a kick in the ass for me to get caught up then!In that her story isn't fully around the bodyswap, yeah. And they do a good job of giving her her own character and motivations.
I think she'd be good, but I wonder if she'd have any reservations about potentially being typecast. If she got this role her 3 most famous roles would be Kwannon, Kimiko, and Katana.I hope marvel talks to Karen Fukuhara for the role
I hope they ignore Kwannon and just adapt Betsy as the default Psylocke, and make her Asian. I'm just not a fan of Kwannon. I feel like she's Psylocke 2.0 in a way that X-23 is Wolverine 2.0.
When they brought back Revanche/Kwannon in the comics permanently, I'm still having a hard time distinguishing or separating Betsy/Kwannon, especially Kwannon is now called as Psylocke. Like everytime I see Kwannon, I always have to remind myself this isn't the Psylocke that appeared in plenty of comics/videogames.
Kwannon was the character that was introduced in the early 90s, that served as a member of the X-Men for about two years, until that character was killed. I don't remember which issue, Betsy swapped to a different body. But it was that time when the body swap became prominent to Psylocke's story, with Kwannon's introduction.I don't even know who Kwannon is. I thought Betsy Braddock was Psylocke?

Sometime in the late 2010s, Kwannon officially returned to the comic books in a regular basis. The soul of Kwannon/Betsy were both returned to their respective original body.
Yup. When she joined the X-Men for about two years in the 90s, she was called as Revanche. I don't know why they aren't using "Revanche" for her codename anymore. Betsy will always be Psylocke.So Kwannon was the asian body that Betsy body swapped into?
They could just simplify it in the MCU by just having a british asian called Betsy Braddock. That way there's no need for Kwannon or a body swap.Yup.

May I ask you, Betsy was called as Psylocke for how many decades? In cartoons and videogames, she's called as Psylocke, so as in plenty of action figures and toys.I don’t know why people think Kwannon as psylocke is confusing but a Japanese girl called Betsy isn’t?
Kwannon is Psylocke. Betsy can be captain britain
It isn't that it would be confusing, it's that it's adapting something that is a bit problematic. Even if the MCU version of Betsy is British Asian person from birth and no body swap, it's still acknowledging the original concept of Betsy taking over an Asian person's body. Not to mention it's erasing a minority character to prop up white one.They could just simplify it in the MCU by just having a british asian called Betsy Braddock.

In a world where we have characters constantly taking over different hero's identities, not really no.If someone picked up the recent comics who isn't up to date with every status quo change, don't you think the character being called as Psylocke in the recent comics won't be confused with Betsy Braddock???
And that's if we get Kwannon and Betsy. There are so many X-Men to choose from.Correct. And we can do better in 2024 than having the most prominent Asian character in the x-men secretly a white woman doing yellowface. Especially in a franchise about diversity and acceptance.
Plus this way you get not one but two great characters!
