Sorry I just read Jean Grey #3. I thought Jean and Madelyn settled their differences?

Yes, but the Maddie in that issue is just Jean talking to herself about her regrets. She's even credited as Jean in the cast listing

That series just seems to be Jean coming to terms with herself and the decisions she's made. Like working past her doubts about if she has done the right thing

I haven't read Jean Grey 3 yet, but I think someone else guessed it's gonna end with her being the Phoenix again, and I don't disagree with that concept.

Well remember in Here Comes Tomorrow that the Phoenix was there to burn away the wrong timeline. I kinda think we're going to get something like that from Jean and that's how the line gets reset and the Krakoan Age ends.

That would be a really anti-climatic ending if this all ends up being a failed time-line.

Krakoa's too tightly tied into the rest of Marvel for it to be a failed timeline. First thought is that that would completely undo Dylan Brock as Venom Second thought is that it would undo Wells' Spider-man run, so maybe Krakoa should be a failed timeline

I'm not sure that's meant to be the takeaway so much as "you are always flirting with disaster and there is no ideal, perfect way out."

Fair enough. More like "poo poo's hosed and the life you and your peeps live doubly so; do the best you can and don't fret over where it went off-track because there's no track."?

I feel like releasing records of a doomed timeline is going to be a potentially awkward way to get your message out, because all Krakoa would have to do is say "Yes, apparently Mr. Sinister likes to write SCPs and did some horrible poo poo to fill supporting evidence. We're very disappointed in him." Of course Sinister probably pre-cut it for Fox News.

i don't think any non-mutant has ever actually mentioned the sins of sinister stuff. the council said they were going to reveal it, but there was never a reaction.

It hasn't factored into anything since then, and was frankly kind of a weird side plot. To be absolutely frank I think the whole "we're gonna tell people about SoS" thing was just Gillen padding some time until Fall of X -- albeit with some great writing -- instead of something they intended to have major ramifications.

BrianWilly posted:Nah they did end up telling everyone, there was a page at the start of the Hellfire Gala showing a bunch of humans being real tilted about it. A woman was like "what if my Phoenix Foundation-resurrected daughter turns evil" and Emma was like "yeah idk" Tbf, I can't see that even moving the needle on the chaos that is the average marvel citizen's daily existence. A celestial murdered most of them in apocalyptic hellfire less than half a year ago. Mr sinister made a hell dimension that got reset? Guys I have to work tomorrow can we not?

it would be faster to count who hasn't been to an alternate future where they rule with an iron fist at this point. that's just something that happens to people on marvel earth.

I mean like basically every major X-Men future timeline we see is some flavor of Robot Fascism or Egyptian Fascism. Your pick of the future is whether Apocalypse or a Sentinel is stepping on your neck.

site posted:my hot take was that the art in realm 3 is dirty and, given a weird pacing moment halfway through, presumably rushed. but it still looks better than the finished but fairly lifeless art that was in the previous issue. and while the stylized eyes are a thing i can understand why it would take some people out, i would disagree with calling it bad it's bad, but I think it's bad because, as you said, it was rushed. It looks unfinished and the colors are muddy. Obviously I'm speculating, but something happened to this book. I was so excited for this one too, and it's been a let down on the scale of Fallen Angels. Also, hey, can we talk about how wonderfully horny Uncanny Spider-Man was? Now, as resident anti-hornt asexual, normally I'm very bored with romantic or sexual subplots, but from the panel where Sable grabs Kurt's tail and comments on how soft it is, through the rest of the book, I was grinning like an idiot. This was real good.

i think that book is about kurt learning that he doesn't need to be a visionary leader or save mutantkind single-handed. it's enough for him to be himself, a sexy swashbuckling hero.

Caught up on the recent Excalibur/Knights of X series and liked them more than I imagined. The whole "mutants plus magic/dimensions" deal was always hit-or-miss back then, but they do a good job of keeping the actions moving and doing a weird fantasy GoT mix. In fact, could use some extra issues to slow down and let character stuff simmer and build for a bit! I may also have been in the monority that liked Betsy more as the elegant but strong-willed telepath than the ninja babe, even back in the 90s. Since she had the link with Otherworld established even back then through the Fall of Mutants, making her Captain Britain makes sense, though she seems to be one of those character which the creators are never comfortable with and just keep thowing hats at until one sticks. Having the UK shadow-governed by a cabal of racist wizards was -not- something I expected, though.

My guess is we're gonna see Phoenix Shenanigans bringing back the mutants back into whatever status quo they're gonna have moving forward - or, if the writers are feeling more adventurous than I suspect, we'll see some kind of a "hey ever notice how the Phoenix loves telepaths, and carries quasi-recordings of past hosts, of which there have been a lot lately? Wouldn't that make a pretty interesting way to get that hyperintelligent, not-existing-in-localized-time Dominion that Sinister has been trying to create but sees at the end of Sins of Sinister that someone beat him to it?" we'll see, one supposes

Well yeah but usually that's only a hell the hero has to deal with. The general public doesn't know about AoA or any of those other hell futures. This is one of the few times where it's out there for everyone to see.
