Hope and Exodus’s stuff was weird and dumb as hell

I liked it cause I am glad Hope is breaking up with Exodus and his massive amounts of issues.

I thought the issue was very cool and interesting when I first read it but, yeah, the more I think about it the more nitpicks I have. 'Cuz like...right, it was all mind control. They were infected by evil genes. It's very weird to be angry at anyone about that, for things that they didn't even do yet even, and also how are all these people so ready and willing to trust this sketch-rear end source? A random chimera shows up out of the blue with the memories of a...red magic woman?...and they play it on a VHS and you're like oh man everything they say is definitely objective true content?

hope didn't really care about the betrayal. but she got a good long look at where being a messiah leads. so, she is done with both that toxic lifestyle and the deranged rear end in a top hat who encourages it. it was easily the most reasonable reaction to the events of sos. no one else seems to have learned anything. as for why everyone was willing to hear mother righteous out, i put that down to the shock value. she pops in and blames everything on sinister and they all jump in to agree because hating that dude is krakoa's national sport. it's good clean fun for all ages! but going any further than that and actually placing even the slightest trust in her? that's just the council being dumb as always.

So like is any of this stuff the past few months any good? It sounds really bad and I'm not picking up from y'all whether you like it or not. I'm a year behind though, other than picking up the first Sinister issue because the Professor X story sounded really good to me (and I liked that).

I feel like the comics have largely retained their overall quality through the Sins of Sinister event. Though personally, I'm more interested in the fallout of it than the event itself. Hard to stay as invested in a story you know will largely be undone, and the vibe being largely grim didn't do me any favors. Anyway, happy to get back to Krakoa/Arrako politics.

I don't like them going back to the Jean and Scott are having problems again well, though. Just let them be happy together while also getting action on the side.

Everyone got to enjoy gently caress Island for a few years. Now it's back to being X-Men, which means screwing everything up and ending in misery.

My one complaint with the Krakoa era is that hasn't felt like it's stabilised as the status quo any at point to me. Personally it would be more impactful if we had sometime where the Island wasn't going from catastrophe to catastrophe before teasing the 'fall of x'. That said I pretty much enjoyed all it bar a few titles, so I'll give them a little rope.

ten years from now the timescale will have compressed the Krakoa era into about a month and a half tops

I'm officially over how terrible Xavier is getting portrayed while Storm keeps getting high off her own supply. Emma needs to take her down another peg again.

Y'know, before when I'd heard "Xavier and Magneto should be portrayed as a couple/exes" I kind of rolled my eyes and chalked it up to shippers wanting to ship, but Red this week kind of sold me on that idea inasmuch as it partly explains Chuck's softness on Magneto and willingness to love and forgive him him despite long-standing ideological conflict and repeated instances of the latter getting heated enough to want to cause extinction-level disasters. That being said I don't know how I'd feel about Magneto reciprocating. I can't really think of him being romantic in any context except in AOA with Rogue, and Rogue is way cooler than Chuck. He also strikes me as someone who would never be willing to fully let his guard down around someone with psychic powers and a willingness to exercise them quite so freely.

They're both kind of "no time for love" type guys, despite how Charles pervs on Jean in the Silver Age or Carey's Magneto/Rogue stuff. I can imagine they went down a couple times after big events like saving a life in Haifa or securing Krakoa, but they're so committed to their individual dreams, and post-Krakoa, Krakoa, that they'd hardly ever have a private moment. Supreme Xavier stuff in Red this week, it's really interesting to see how quickly actual Charles falters after Sinister!Charles' boasts in Immortal a couple months back (for the record, I think him dropping that he's put mental blocks on the people manning missile silos, ensuring there will never be a nuclear war is the act of actual Charles, it's just boasting about it that is Sinister!Charles). Storm confronting Charles over taking her away from her village should have been a beat brought up long before now, but as the saying goes, this is the second best time to do it.

danbanana posted:Chuck has literally left his team twice to go into space for prolonged periods to gently caress a bird-lady. Ok fair. He's such a non-presence in the Claremont stuff that I forget that's why he's mostly absent. In retrospect, him vanishing with Lilandra is kinda hard to square with other eras of the character, though I suppose the actual reason is Claremont wasn't that interested in him. Apropos of nothing, I've been reading the Star Wars anthology From a Certain Point of View, and there's a story by Kieron Gillen with a revealing typo. quote:“How?” said Aphra. “Surface bombing? Even with a fleet of Star Destroyers that’d take weeks. Or a bioplague, like on Genosha? Is this Tarkin Initiative technology?" Gotta keep your fictional genocides straight, Gillen.

I am loving Storm as the most badass X-character (she should be!) but I also kinda felt like she was maybe the most empathetic. I dunno. This and the last Immortal are frustrating but I'll follow Al Ewing into Hell so I'm game.

I think that's just an Easter egg. Geonosis was bombed, IIRC?
