That this is the start of Marvel's big push towards making the X-Men matter again is incredibly disheartening. I can't think of a single character in this book that isn't done dirty in some excruciatingly stupid way.

Let's be real though: none of these characters are written anything like they have been in the past. X-23's enthusiastic about murdering things, Legion's back to being a wacky bundle of crazy with no real pathos, Armor is...I don't even know what's going on there, and of course everything going on with Nate Grey. Hell, the only character who kind of reads right to me is Rockslide and even he got an inexplicable new nickname out of nowhere

Alaois posted:I'm suddenly thinking back to the episode of Jay and Miles where they interviewed Jordan D. White and he was hyping up this whole thing, and I realized that he became the X-Men group chief editor after the things that I like or liked happening at the time (Weapon X, Domino) had already been decided on and that he's responsible for a lot of bad recent stuff (like Extermination). The thing is White has absolutely edited good books in the past, so I don't know if I want to blame him for this

Marvel crowing about how the Fantastic Four are BACK in video games just makes me think of how they forced Marvel Heroes to remove all Fantastic Four characters a few months before the game suddenly closed

He's writing two separate mini-series. I don't think UXM is going to stop because of that.

Skwirl posted:Yeah, as much as I love the idea of Jonathan Hickman doing for X-Men what he did for F4 and Avengers I'm not seeing evidence of it. There's gonna be 12 issues total of two different miniseries. Him saying this is a passion project makes me even more suspect, that means it's a hobby for him. At this point I just hope it's good Hickman and not the Hickman that tried to get me to care about Starbrand or Nightmask

Metalshark posted:http://www.adventuresinpoortaste.co...d-cool-cyclops/ - very serious Hickman interview. I actually kind of hate it! Are we just going to ignore the past sixty years of X-characters wearing regular clothes and just assume they all started collectively wearing their costumes as regular clothes because...eh?

Man if the rumor that was floating around along with the titles of the books before the announcement was even a little true the reaction is going to be interesting For references sake said rumor was it's revealed all mutants are immortal Blockhouse fucked around with this message at 23:53 on May 29, 2019 |

Given what the rumor about the big House/Powers of X reveal is I'm wondering if Rosenburg wasn't given a list of X-Men to kill before the end of his book not to say that makes his book any better but there's no goddamn way editorial somehow didn't communicate with Hickman about what was happening with those characters months ago

DivineCoffeeBinge posted:At the end of U.S. Avengers he walked away from AIM (and the US government, to which he'd turned over AIM previously) and left Toni Ho in charge; presumably they told her to piss off. AIM officially broke away from Toni and the others during Avengers: No Surrender, which also ended with Roberto rejoining the X-Men. Since then they've been back to their evil scientist ways in Unstoppable Wasp. Toni created her own organization called RESCUE which has yet to appear out of Ewing-written books.

Barry Convex posted:Which rumor? Like immediately before House of X/Powers of X was announced there was an anonymous tumblr comment (that was really angry and dismissive but whatever it's anonymous people on tumblr that's par for the course) that there was going to be a Hickman-led X-Men relaunch with the central hook being (this may or may not be true that's your last warning before clicking on this) mutants are revealed to be functionally immortal. The exact mechanics of this weren't mentioned in the comment though if I had to guess it probably has something to do with those pods. Would definitely explain why it's not just characters who died in Rosenberg's run that are suddenly and inexplicably back.

Wanderer posted:I don't think we've got enough yet to figure out what's going on. This is Moira MacTaggert, who's been dead for years in 616, and getting capped on Muir Island by Mystique isn't one of the established timelines here. It absolutely is. Notice the faked death on the last timeline.

Pyro's a sarcastic rear end in a top hat so it could just be a figure of speech because she's ordering him around

Nevvy Z posted:That Resurrection seems to be part of the Lost decade now. Or at least the part where they were the P5. You guys are massively overthinking this. The X-Men's history is not going to be portioned out to the different Moira lives because that doesn't make any sense with what we've been seeing. Hickman isn't going to do a full-on Marvel Universe reboot in these comics. The timelines at the end of the issue only show one that actually matches up with the history of the X-Men as we know it, the tenth and last one. That's what we've been watching all along.

Seems like a real bad idea to restore a franchise to promenience within your fictional shared universe if you're not actually setting the flagship book in said universe? The future timelines in Powers could go either way, I admit.

Billzasilver posted:One interesting out that Hickman built in is that Moira can choose to be passive and the whole world is unchanged. In life 4, crazy poo poo happened at least until the Phoenix Prive and AvX. Probably beyond that too. Yeah the fact that it's the only one singled out with poo poo that matches the Marvel Universe makes it clear that the "present day" stuff is life 10 or at least that's what we're supposed to think. People keep looking for the twist in all the wrong places, I feel.

I still don't understand how you can insist this is life 6 when it's only happening because of stuff that happened in life 9 like they sure are spending a lot of time detailing and setting up a status quo that doesn't loving matter if it's not the life that they've literally built up as "Moira and Charles do whatever it takes" and also just went out of the way to show that Charles literally had sleeper agents set up so they wouldn't interfere with the timeline until he said so

At this point I would be so tired of the Sentinels and the Purifiers and the government stooges and the internment camps and the everything else that I would basically do anything for some stability Live on a big island monster with Apocalypse and Mr. Sinister where we all get cloned into big balls and have weird mutant orgies? Sure man, whatever, gently caress it, as long as I don't have killer robots trying to laser my face off because I have the ability to talk to fungus.
