My opinion of Extinction will be solely on if it brings Scott back.

They'll bring back Scott but kill Emma in the space Avengers thing she's in.

Strap in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRwkcV1VL7k Actually, I really hope if they bring old Scott back they wait awhile to hook him up with Jean again. I know they will eventually because comics, but let her date someone else for half a minute first. I don't particularly care who Storm, or Nightcrawler if he's not shacking up with his sister at the moment, but someone else.

Plus I think a whole bit in the resurrection story was Jean realizing she's passed Scott? (Which makes little sense for her since she's spent all that time in between dead, but whatever.)

My whole thing with Scott and Jean is this. If they decide to put them together, then great. Have them grow together, don't do any love triangles, and make them happy with each other. If they don't put them together, then have them as good friends on good terms who realize that their relationship just didn't work and there's no hard feelings, then give them whoever as love interests. Just go with one or the other, skip the "will they/won't they" part, and don't recycle tired love triangles.

The biggest problem with the concept is that it's usually just a V with a kinda lovely person in the middle. If you have to have a love triangle, each side should behave the same. Just three people who each can't decide which of the other two they want to hook up with.

I think Jean as a Phoenix host is semi-alive/conscious of what's going on around her in the White Hot Room. She definitely popped up from time to time even after her death in the context of the Phoenix.

I know there are reading order to take a macro View and kind of just tell you what series to read, but is there any like really in-depth accurate reading orders for X-Men that tells you every series in the order of which they were released and when they cross over at what issue and what needs to be up to on all the series for that cross over to make sense? I'm considering an actual real deal start from zero like Jay and Miles. Perhaps things will finally make sense then.

It's not necessarily going to tell you about every guest appearance or whatever, but comics are generally pretty good about letting you know when a crossover or event or miniseries is happening (because they want you to buy those books, too!) If you decided to start reading Uncanny from issue 94 or whatever the editor's notes would keep you pretty clued in to when New Mutants starts/the Wolverine mini happens/etc. Chronologial reading has never been my thing, but one piece of advice J&M dropped way back was looking at  sites for stuff like X-Men chronologically and then USE THAT AS A READING LIST ONLY. But I suspect that that might be more in-universe chronologically that publishing order.

Even if that existed it still wouldn't make sense. The X-Men are basically Finnegan's Wake.

I'm not sure Extermination really "works" for me since every death/disappearance so far I've reacted with "good, gently caress 'em". Can't wait til the O5 are out of this universe; they've outstayed their welcome by years now. And (spoilers for Extermination, obviously:) Cable killing Cable is hilarious, because as far as I'm concerned, the more convoluted his history, the better. He's the time paradox that walks like a man.

Rochallor posted:I don't know if anybody is actually still reading New Mutants-Dead Souls, but it wrapped up this week on a major cliffhanger. After being really iffy on the first couple of issues I ended up really enjoying it. The art is great--Illyana especially--and Rosenberg has a good handle on the voice of the characters. I have been considering reading these based just on the strength of the covers but I'm waiting until they all hit unlimited (bad fan here).

I think Extermination depends a lot on what the ending is to see if it's an effective/good story. Like, if it's setting the plate to clear off some extra characters and either bring Scott back or have young Scott stay, I'm fine with that. I do like the original five though, so I'm fine if they do stay.

I wasn't really reading comics when the whole O5 thing happened but why on earth would they just stick around forever? Wasn't the entire purpose to show them how lovely the world got or mistakes along the way so they could go back and do things better? If they just stay in the future isn't that kind of loving up yet another non-616 Earth that has to putt along with no X-Men team? Seems like a really lovely issue of What If? where Magneto just immediately wipes out homo sapiens. Just send them back and then in a year follow up with a series in their multiverse showing what improvements they made as a result of the things they learned in 616 land.

I think they were a Bendis idea, on the whole, and with no more Bendis around everybody wants to put their own stamp on the franchise. Which is understandable! Even if it is throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

They were supposed to make Cyclops remember his (Xavier's) ideals and stop That failed. Young Cyclops almost died and caused a time paradox. They tried to go back and couldn't until they used magic instead of science. Saw duplicates of themselves. Assumed time adjusted. Later found out those were imposters from the Future Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Beat them. Decided to stick around in present until they "fixed the future." They think Xavier will mindwipe them if they go back so they can't change the past, only the future.
