Skwirl posted:I seriously don't even understand the point of Uncanny X-Men at this point aside from making GBS threads on characters that only a small number of people like. It's an even worse version of the death of Bill Foster. So congratulations on making Mark Millar seem subtle and poignant. Is this suppose to be setting up to a status quo that Hickman wants? I just don't get it.

Very excited! Only minor complaint is I hoped the Apocalypse in the book was actually Genesis. He is gonna be in the X-Men book sometime which is fine by me. I can’t wait to see where the books are in this new status quo.

Fraction constantly acts like Cyclops is super intelligent and has great plans but seems to ignore this giant flaw in the plan. (Also day this as a huge cyclops fan).

Hickman has made me excited about X-men in a way I haven't been in a long time. I'm reading Uncanny X-Men pre-lude to Age of X-Man to get ready and I had some questions. I heard it explains why Apocalypse is on X-teams in and post House of X. The Jean/Ice-Man in this comic are the young versions right? It is pretty horseshit that rockslide/armor/pixie/anole are getting benched in favor of these guys, because they should have more experience than these two. Has X-23 always been this excited about violence? I remember violence just being a fact of life to her, something she was born to do. In this she is constantly saying stuff like "a megalodon, do I get to stab it?" She just sounds more like Rockslide than Rockslide in this.

DivineCoffeeBinge posted:Destiny explains how to kill Moira permanently; if she dies before her mutant powers manifest (presumably at puberty), she's done for good. I am assuming that her reference to having "ten lives, or perhaps eleven if you make the right choice at the end" means that the end of Moira 10's (X's) life will be Meaningful, and somehow determine whether Moira 11 will die young (so ten 'lives' with the eleventh cut short) or survive until her abilities manifest (or fail to manifest, making her mortal again?) to give her an eleventh lifetime. I will say counter to my previous theory she can't have a long life time as part of her mutant power without Apocalypse because she died of old age in her first life.

Very interesting new issue. Things I took of note: -Magneto and Xavier seem more villainous than they have in the rest of this arc so far sending Cyclops out. I wonder if Xavier is going to send lots of people on suicide runs and then have them reborn. Magneto seemed to be speaking metaphorically about Cyclops always living, Xavier did not. -M seemed almost second in command of the team. -There's no way Attorney General Tolliver is related to Tyler Dayspring Askani right? He's who I think of when I hear the name Tolliver in an X-men comic. -Jean's worry over people literally building a genocidal weapon to me seems really silly -Liked Frost and the Cuckoos scene a lot, although where is the third? -Mystique seems here for Hickman to do some crazy twist - can't wait. -Sleeping Giant is a very cool concept and love how that leads to the X-Men shocking Orchi's who think no one could know about them.

And the Stepford Cuckoos! Plus, we owe a lot of Emma Frost's modern characterisation to Morrison. The U-Men are cool villains as well. Magneto is bad throughout the arc, but it is easy within the Morrison's own story to say it was actually Sublime's actions.

On clue #5 was there any tension between Madelyne Pryor and Wolverine? Obviously I know about her and Havok. Heather Hudson maybe also possible. Mutant Island makes this harder unless we assume it is Australia?Edge & Christian posted:#6 is presumably about Cassandra Nova, but given the use of "gifted" and swapping samples, probably about the Mutant Cure storyline she was involved with in Whedon's Astonishing X-Men (first arc title: Gifted) as opposed to Morrison's New X-Men. Edge & Christian posted:#9 I assumed was Cannonball and Sunspot, though it doesn't line up perfectly for them (or anyone else, really). danbanana posted:Am I interpreting this one wrong? I think #10 is in reference to the mutant-DNA'd Sinister in this issue who makes the deal with Xavier. It's just a wink that Sinister already knew about Moira and Xavier's plans... maybe via Magneto? That smile in the next panel is obvious. It also means Xavier wiping his mind of the visit wasn't going to work since he already knew about the plan... edit on 7: I actually do wonder if there could be a 4th Summers brother. The original hint that there was one a third is from Sinister, and then when they revealed Gabriel there didn't seem to be any way that Sinister would have known about Gabriel. Although according to clue 10 he has been watching for a long time, so I guess that could finally be explained. Fritzler fucked around with this message at 21:55 on Sep 11, 2019 |

It's the teleporter problem - Scott and Jean and Logan and Kurt et al did actually die, they're still dead, and they didn't come back. There are just perfect copies of them from a week ago hanging out on Krakoa now, being venerated for a sacrifice they never made.

Is there a reason Hickman is so adverse to showing Xavier’s face? Or just a red herring? He was only shown from behind in that first couple of pages before putting on the mask. Orchi’s seems to be an ongoing threat (which is needed with all these reformed villains). Nice to see Skin and Synch enjoying life together.Android Blues posted:Even weirder is that the council unanimously votes for the eternal solitary confinement plan. There's no dissent at all, and not much debate, even from the side of the table you'd think might be quite hesitant. Two questions: 1. I just remember Gorgon from Secret Warriors. Any essential reading for him? 2. Do we know anything about Moira’s no-space? Can’t remember it. Wonder if it is supposed to stop her from aging.

I feel like Destiny would want to work with Moira now. we only saw them interact once when Moira was anti-mutant. I’d think they could get along now, and she could be super helpful to Moira. I’m not surprised Moira created Proteus on purpose, that’s kind of what I assumed since her big reveal. A little surprised Xavier created Legion on purpose. I am definitely already feeling Moira over Magneto/Xavier in their future conflict. Other thing - I wonder if that Sinister secret could actually be about Wolverine/Moira. Is she still married? I feel like in Claremont’s time they couldn’t get divorced for some reason because of his diplomat status. They’re clearly super close in at least two of her lives, which are her longest lives. I’ve always thought most of Wolverine’s partners were kind of gross, but would kind of love him to be with someone with as just as many life experiences in Moira.

I will also say very early on there were a few explanations for why mutants were mutants. Off the top of my head Beast’s dad, Norton McCoy, worked at a nuclear something facility. His exposure to radiation was listed as the reason that Henry was a mutant. I think at the time Hank was also said to have been born with with large feet/hands, so it didn’t hit during puberty like became established later.

What's the exact deal with Teen Cable? Does he have all memories of Cable? Was he plucked from the timestream and only has memories of Cable's first 16 years? In the later case at least he would be pretty close to Jean/Scott because they spent 12 years raising him the The Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix. Vulcan being there seems wild. Like have he, Havok and Cyclops ever hung out before this? Also wonder if those two empty rooms are for anyone in particular.
