Act 79 - Nightcrawlers #1-3 (2023)
YOU asked for it, #BamfNation! Lisa and Lauren delivered… very confused and trying their best!
Nightcrawlers #1-3 was part of the Sins of Sinister event, involving Mr. Sinister cloning and creating Chimera that have a large portion of Kurt aka Nightcrawler’s DNA. But is Mr. Sinister really the one pulling all the strings himself, or is someone else, maybe a Mother Righteous involved?
Does anything in this mini-series make sense? If any of it makes sense to you, please let Lisa and Lauren know on Twitter: @Simplyamzingpod

Act 78 - Fall of X: Sons of X #1
Well, it happened.. and we need to talk about it. The Fall of X is coming and it's hitting Kurt like a ton of bricks.
How are we feeling about the issue paving the way for Uncanny Spider-Man? Why does Kurt make this huge decision? Was Mother Righteous a worthy villain?
And... WHERE IS KURT'S DICK?!

Act 76 - X-Men Manifest Destiny Nightcrawler #1 (A Nightcrawler One-Shot)
In this episode, Lisa and Lauren read Manifest Destiny Nightcrawler #1 (2009). Taking place shortly after the 2007 Nightcrawler series, Kurt didn't seem to have a "place" in X-Men comics back then- and writers and editorial knew it. Thus, they created this one-shot where Kurt leaves the X-Men and tries to find his purpose again.
Was this a good soul-searching one-shot for Kurt or a poor attempt? Did this issue have the impact it wanted to have? Tune in as Lisa and Lauren tell you everything you need to know (and everything you don't- they might have gone off the rails again)

The one where we fact-check Marvel AND we announce our next SIMPLY AMAZING LIVE!
After meeting Lauren at Heroes Con 2022, a member of #BamfNation, Lance, reached out to us to talk about something heavy on his mind..
Why are there so many inconsistencies with Kurt’s origin? What are they and will they ever get “fixed”?
Of course, we HAD to bring Lance on!
What is Kurt’s Mutant Power? Teleportation? Wall crawling? Camouflaging in shadows? Fuzzy, blue fur?
How could Marvel ret-con the dreaded “The Draco”, aka The Malfoy? Is that the ONLY thing they should ret-con?
Tune in as Lance sets Lisa and Lauren’s sights on questions often puzzled, but rarely ever truly brought to the table!
Of course, chaos does happen towards the end, and maybe the “two penises” debacle gets brought up…

Act 22 - Would Kurt Use An Image Inducer Today?
In older X-Men comics, Kurt used an image inducer to make himself look like other humans so he would "fit in better" and wouldn't be persecuted. As a huge fan of this character point, Lauren brought a timely and important question to co-host Lisa: if Kurt lived in our society today, would he use an image inducer? Why or why not? If he had kids that looked like him, would he want them to use one?
On a lighter note, why is Angelina Jolie in a conversation about image inducers, and what difference would it make for the image inducer to be used in a more comedic way? Find out in this Simply Amazing BITE-SIZED ep!

Act 8 - Mystique and Destiny Overview
Lauren, a Mystique apologist?? Lisa, crying #ItsDestinyBitch?!? You read it all right- this week we are talking all about the long-overdue rise of sapphics Mystique and Destiny (aka Nightcrawler's real parents)! Now that *SPOILER ALERT* Destiny is back, will the fate of the Marvel Universe be determined by the gays? Will the -true- villains be revealed? Either way, we sure hope the Inferno doesn’t stop burning after this X-Men event, and we have a feeling our dear Kurt Wagner may play a role... By the end of this ep, we KNOW you won’t be saying “and they were roommates”, right??
