A fortress nation for a persecuted people that offers technology to the world but also threatens mass destruction if they're ever attacked. That combined with the prominence of Jerusalem in this issue makes me wonder just how far Hickman's going to go with the Israel parallels.

Archyduchess posted:Oh good, one Fables just wasn't enough. I mean, with how sinister everyone was acting in this issue I wouldn't count on it being as hilariously pro-Israel as Fables was. "You have new gods now" isn't exactly the speech of a sympathetic figure.

Archyduchess posted:Oh for sure I think he's not on that level, and is a more sophisticated writer, but I also think his Avengers stuff in particular was brought down a little by a certain uncritical orientation towards power, even if he was pretty sharp on writing about power's effects. Sure, but I think that's down to X-Men having historically been an allegory to many different groups depending on the era and writer. African-Americans during civil rights, Jews, queer people, all have distinct histories, have suffered distinct persecutions and, have developed distinct means of resistance. One of the strengths (and frankly one of the weaknesses in the wrong hands) of X-Men is that it can serve as allegories to all of these with different stories. I think in this case with it going so hard in the direction of Zionism/post-colonial nationalism creating a distinct language makes sense. Modern Hebrew and Hindi were both to an extent artificially created to serve nation-building projects. Even standard French was imposed on people that spoke myriad different dialects and laguages (e.g. Breton, Occitan, Basque) in order to build the modern French nation. If he's telling a story about nation-building then I think language is a p smart aspect to build into it TomWaitsForNoMan fucked around with this message at 20:18 on Jul 25, 2019 |

So are we meant to believe that the entire history of mutants we've seen in comics up to now was just a previous loop? EDIT: Actually I guess not since its only Moira X that gave birth to Proteus EDIT 2: Also if the Apocalypse war timeline didn't end then how do we have more Moiras after that?

This is the first time in a long time that I've anticipated Wednesday releases to the point of keeping my ipad next to my bed on Tuesday nights so I can read the new issue before I get up on Wednesday mornings. I love whatever the gently caress is going on

hcreight posted:Any guesses on what's up with Life 6? I was thinking that maybe Life 6 will turn out to be the timeline we know and love while what's happening in HoX is 4 lifetimes after that, very close to the known timeline but with whatever changes Moira and Xavier have planned.. Either that or something really out there. Whatever it is there's obv a reason it's been left out and it's going to be a Very Big Deal

Avicus posted:Maybe Moira VI teams up with Sinister. I don't want to think about how her power would work with clones... Or with children, if they inherited her power. We know she had at least some in timeline 1 Rochallor posted:I was kind of thinking Sinister just because he's the only major X-villain Moira isn't recorded as seeking out, besides obviously unhelpful groups like the Purifiers. Either that or maybe a DoFP timeline, since she really goes hard after the Trasks in the next life. Sinister is mentioned in the Apocalypse war timeline but yeah, that's more Apoc going after him than Moira herself

I might be stretching here but does the fact that Cyclops, Jean, and Wolverine have connecting bedrooms imply they’re all together?
