I really liked Weapon X, so much that as long as Land continues to be incredibly punctual I think I'll overlook his Landness.

Synthbuttrange posted:Wait, he's doing magic now? Young Hank's less good at science than Old Hank, since science has like a 30 year jump on him due to time travel. Rather than using his big brain to work hard and catch up to the times, he's doing the Hank McCoy thing of taking a shortcut and using his big brain to try and shirk the consequencees.. and failing. Because he's Hank McCoy, and for the last 30 years his modus operandi has been eloquently failing to understand, accept, and work around his own limits (see also: every time he's tried to gently caress with his mutation) and the limits of those around him.

So it's more like twenty, considering they've been here for five years-- even with the sliding time scale, I think they're supposed to have been here for awhile.

Diet Poison posted:I wish the O5 could just go back to their own time. And then we continue to follow their story, having seen firsthand what the future is like but with the knowledge that nothing they do will change that future for comic-science reasons leaving them free to become different people and also manage to turn Classic Cackling Maniac Magneto into Modern Attitude Magneto more quickly. And the main X-Books could deal with a world without Cyclops and Jean, and also Beast dies. Adult Bobby gets to live on his own terms, adult Angel gets to continue his tortured existence I guess. I'm never 100% sure what his deal is anymore. Sounds like a good What-If, if Marvel ever gets around to putting out any more of those.

I'm honestly expecting that the O5 eventually get aged up and have their memories merged with their modern equivalents to get a soft reboot for modern Cyke, Jean, and Angel without the baggage. Still issue whether or not Beast and Bobby will be included, but I'd wager a shiny dime each on the other three.

Eh, even when the luster wears off you still have a much more managable Logan than before. Healing factor isn't quite so ridiculous, not quite as much of an unstoppable killing machine you have to write around, frees up the Wolverine mantle for Laura. I wouldn't mind if he stuck around.

So Disney just bought back the X-Men film rights, among other things. I guess we'll know whether or not all those rumors and conspiracy theories about the X-Men's place in Marvel were bullshit soon enough. Kind of hoping we get a 'No, MORE mutants!' out of it.

Endless Mike posted:1) to remove mutants as their own subculture, because when you do that, it stops being an allegory for real-world subcultures; See, I always felt the opposite was true. When mutants were a culture, rather than just an origin, it made the metaphor stronger for me. Now they don't really seem like an allegory for much of anything, these days.

Charitably, you could say that living in the past-- even if they were your best years, perhaps especially so-- is not really living either, and perhaps that's part of the message too. If you always perceive your best days as behind you, well, you're probably going to fulfill that prophecy. But maybe you're not feeling charitable. I know I wasn't; that definitely didn't need to take five issues. Cabbit fucked around with this message at 03:56 on Feb 1, 2018 |

I'm really liking Red still, yeah. I didn't even bother picking up Gold this week, though; I think I'm done with that book and, honestly, it's kind of soured me on Kitty being in charge. It's just kind of a rolling count of all the story beats I'm not fond of, with "X-Men in Prison!" at the top of the list now.
