There wouldn't have to be so many clones, future babies, and babies that travel to the future and return as adults if they just aged characters at a reasonable pace. It would also solve the problem of what to do with 500 X-Men characters hanging around with nothing to do while they still keep crankin' out new ones.

Probably Magic posted:It'd be much cooler if it were some random kid who finds out, "Holy poo poo, my dad was WOLVERINE?!" To a point, that's what happened to Logan anyway in his origin. Mirror that instead of making another stab in, "Logan's regretful past bites him in the rear end again." This is basically Ultimate Comics X iirc

Rhyno posted:I can't bring myself to read the issue again but are they implying that Raze is running around as an kid right now? Yes. They showed Mystique popping out Xavier Jr. in the last issue and this one implies that apparently Raze is just a year older. Which means that drat, she had Wolverine's kid and then immediately went on to have another with Xavier. Either she is just trying to single-handedly repopulate the mutant race or she just really doesn't believe in safe sex.

And that was a really long time before HoM.

twistedmentat posted:Has there been anything that showed Logan and Laura bonding in a family way? I read all the X-force stuff with them, and other stuff surrounding schism, but there's things here and there, but nothing where he legitimately acts like a dad to her, but all the materials i've read describing their relationship, says its very father/daughter. He took her to a carnival at the start of her solo series and offered to adopt her. Ironically, Gambit was the one who round up playing the 'mentor to the new teen X-man' role for most of the book.

I just read the latest All-New X-Men, and am still confused by Jean's new power. What exactly is it, besides spraying orange junk all over the panel? Or purple stuff, I can't remember. Did she just summon X-23 and stitch up her abdomen or something?

Well the narration boxes in the last issue put Xavier Jr's birth at a year before the current conflict. So I guess Mystique could've hooked up with Prof X in the guise of Moira approximately 9 months before that. So with Marvel time dilation™, I'd say you're either right on the money and guess either Moira's been dead about 3 years... or Charles Xavier is a moron who just assumed "Welp, death's a rotating door anyway, I guess it's about time you're back Moira, let's have sex"

Reasons for looking like Moira during birth: misdirecting readers? Mystique truly likes messing with our heads that way.

Now, didn't she say something like "I'm sorry Charles, I can't do it" when X Jr was born? Maybe, because Comic Books, Charles foresaw his own death and booked some time with Mystique's uterus to drum himself up a shiny new clone body (explaining why X Jr looks just like Charles) and when the baby was born, Mystique had a crisis of conscience and decided she couldn't plug the Professor X Backup Soul Drive into the baby at the cost of its natural soul or whatever. It's stupid, but still less stupid than a lot of X-stuff.

That is a reference to Mystique giving the kid up for adoption. I still find it really weird he isn't Legion's son - wasn't he introduced as Xavier's grandson? It would be a total mindfuck if he was Legion's son, X-men kill his grandfather and are totally fine with his father being deleted from existence. Oh no now I'm picturing BoTA being written by Spurrier and it would actually be good. Argh.

One thing I've always wondered about is what happened to the first body that the Shi'Ar cloned for Xavier. Is it on ice somewhere? Or did they bury or cremate it after the cloning process? It's creeps me out. Maybe Mystique found it and . . . did some gross stuff.

It was disposed of in accordance with time honored Shi'ar death rites, fired into a newly cleaned sliding glass door and then feed to a neighborhood cat.

That's good stuff. Also tangentially reminded me of one of my favorite lines from The Crow movie: "Caw! Caw! Bang! gently caress, I'm dead!". If only Deathbird and some of the other boring Shi'Ar characters could go out that way... More on topic, I do hope the future Brotherhood gets torn up, and we don't see them again. Probably won't get that lucky if Bendis gets stuck on them as antagonists. I'm also totally in agreement that Beast has/will betray the team via their totally fool-proof letters-to-our-future-selves scheme. Oh well, maybe we'll have our next Charlie X body, once the Axis event is over and his brain is pulled outta the Red Skull's dome. Madrox fucked around with this message at 16:47 on Jun 15, 2014 |

So while I knew what was going on in Uncanny Xmen, the issue was really badly disjointed and didn't mesh with the last issue at all. It was like it went back at retconned the end of the last issue by a few minutes. I did like Scott telling Logan to trust Quentin for a moment, as Quentin has come to trust Logan. Future calling out Betsy for being a fake ninja and a white girl in a japanese girls body was pretty amusing too.

I literally forget everything about that comic every month until I read the new one. And now that Bromo Superior looks to have wrapped up, I'm done with it. I'll be happy when this WatX arc wraps up.

It hit all the right notes to fix the situation that the story was in, but I felt it jumped around a lot. The story was good, but the presentation was lacking. And I realized that the reason it rewound time was to show Hijack, oops. It did continue the theme of the powers that be going "maybe we shouldn't poo poo on mutants so much?" Not quite as ringing of an endorsement like Thors in the last issue of Uncanny Avengers, but Hill at least got it though her head they need to work with them not against them. Oh and hey, peoples powers will be back to normal now!

I don't know whether he had always been this bad and I didn't notice it before, but it feels like Bendis has stopped giving a poo poo since he started his X-Men run. The big underlying plot that's been running for two years randomly gets solved in two panels and it's... nanomachines and Dark Beast (who is terminally ill now for some reason)? Did he just pick two random things out of a hat and call it a day? My biggest problem with Bendis right now, beyond all else, is that he really doesn't seem to give a poo poo about the stories he's writing anymore. It always feels like he's writing in the heat of the moment, without regard to what anyone else is doing or what he was writing a few months ago. I'm sure he has his run planned out, but so far this whole thing has felt really improvised, in a bad way.

 But, really, yeah, if you saw this presentation, he is far more invested in his own projects than this run. Why is he even writing X-Men in the first place is a mystery when he clearly does not give a poo poo. Here, people (at least me) assumed he was the one who picked the X-Men as his new toys to ruin and not someone at Marvel who told him to go do it, but the latter is looking more like the case the longer this circus of mediocrity continues. No one mildly invested could write something as abysmal as this latest issue. Not even Chuck Austen at his worst showed so little interest in the crap he was shoving out -- yes, it was the worst garbage, but you at least felt he did care about said garbage.
