Piotr in X-Force has made it abundantly clear that he never wants to be "in the field" again and is content with working intelligence and behind the scenes.

Colossus winning the vote to be in the X-Men would be a great gently caress you to Beast after what he did in X-Force so even if he doesn't want to be in the field I want him to get most of the votes

i just want all of the original five to get lots of votes except beast. maybe even time-displaced young beast who isn't even around any more could get more than beast. yeah, it kind of sucks that previous, likable versions of beast are gone, probably for good. but he's just so fun to hate!

Beast is elected to be in the X-Men, is impeached for crimes against humanity within weeks.

I would definitely love to see more Dazzler. When was the last time she did anything? A-Force?

Yeah, their info is usually trustworthy, at least on Marvel stuff; they always mention a guy who is on Sales and Marketing on Marvel by name (you can actually see his name on most modern trades), so I trust them for Marvel announcements.

As someone who quit reading X books in the early 90s and has only kept up via Wiki articles, I'm loving where this is going. Was Cable #7 delayed?

Both X-Factor and Hellions were very good this week. And the other weeks, too, honestly. I managed to forget whatever stuff I read with Nanny nearly three decades ago. What was that thing in the final panel? I imagine it's a big no-no for the council, considering what just transpired pages before. Also, I wanna re-read that goddess stuff with Siryn.

Am I the only one getting this weird sense of, like, a lot of mutants nowadays are just being really aggro to humans for the smallest of provocations? The X-Factor team drew weapons on some CSI guys literally doing their jobs and as far as I can tell Polaris started to just...levitate one around for shits and giggles? Did I read this right?

Every mutant with a significantly enough sized chip on their shoulder about humans is now in a position where they can exercise their beefs as long as it doesn't escalate beyond petty aggressions. I'll be curious what happens if we get to the point where there is a mutant who is actively maiming humans but not killing them, because as it stands, I think that might be legal in Krakoa? Also, can you imagine going back and telling someone reading X-books in 2012 that Cyclops would one day be the most diplomatic mutant?

The mutants vs. AI thing really paints Xavier and company in a poor light. Like, imagine if Warlock knew about this? Maybe that's why Doug was hiding him? It was lovely for them to do what they did to the robots.

it's mildly funny how iron man just got done with an extended storyline about how ai have rights as sentient beings and this will not come up in x-books at all.

Polaris and the others took issue with the aforementioned oval office. It's also kind of a weird writing thing of there being some inciting hateful speech, Lorna waiting a bit to have a deep meaningful conversation with Northstar for three whole pages, and then just casually going back to toss a guy around. (Also....twelve? Are we sure?  )

BrianWilly posted:I cannot possibly emphasize how much you're not allowed to physically harm someone simply because they called you names. It has nothing to do with whether they deserve it or not. It's literally illegal. What does legal have to do with it? like 90% of what the X-Men have ever done has technically been illegal. If that's you're standard Colossus, Banshee, Wolverine and a poo poo ton of people should never have even been on the X-Men because they never went through immigration on their first visit to Westchester. When you said "allowed" I thought you meant in a moral sense. From a legal perspective we don't know if the general amnesty mutants have for crimes in the human world has expired and there's no explicit Krakoan law that says you can't hit humans (or mutants either, mutants actually have less legal protections than humans in Krakoa). Are you gonna object if Wolverine drives 65 in a 60 mph zone in X-Force? Air Skwirl fucked around with this message at 07:08 on Jan 7, 2021 |

The events in Hellions made me wonder if maybe the ultimate message of Hickman's run is going to be that the Moira gang are wrong, because they're just as afraid of the future (re; post-human/mutant cybernetic life) as baseline humans are afraid of mutants. And if that's the direction it goes, I bet a major turning point is going to involve Cable, the most prominent mutant cyborg, as well as frequent this-guy-represents-the-future-guy. That might even be why they kept baby Cable around, so that it'll be more poignant if he gets made into a cyber-martyr

Everything else Hickman has written for Marvel has involved warnings about a future that his own book makes impossible.

If that's you're standard Colossus, Banshee, Wolverine and a poo poo ton of people should never have even been on the X-Men because they never went through immigration on their first visit to Westchester. As far as the Krakoa narrative goes, this island has been a shady cult from day one so the moral barometer's already set pretty low, but the idea that now even the well-behaved mutants think they can just casually use their powers to dunk on humans if they don't like what they say is an even extra shadier precedent to be setting. It used to be the exact sort of thing that the X-Men would condemn, and it's one thing if the characters in-story can't recognize that 'cuz of their slow indoctrination, but another thing if the readers or writers don't see it either.
