>>49690032I didn't really see it as being anything huge, so much as Kitty being allowed to grow up beyond being "the kid on the team". She seemed more adult and wasn't treated as being so young, then, and her spot as the token teen was replaced with Rahne and Douglock.
Her relationship with Wisdom was fun while it lasted but I would have hated it to keep going and didn't really see that as character progression much. It just seemed like an excuse for Ellis to keep his mouthpiece on the team.
Unlike most with that attitude, though, I actually really like Pete Wisdom. I just prefer him away from the mutant drama, which Kitty is a big part of.
