Honestly, looking back at Generation X, it's kind of amazing that the whole St. Croix story ended up as coherent as it did - convoluted, yes, but given that it's basically a string of retcons on top of retcons, none of which particularly resemble the original plans for the characters, it hangs together fairly well. I do wish we got more of the twins in later stories - given that they were 'Monet' for most of the series, it's a shame they've all but disappeared compared to the 'real' Monet.

galagazombie posted:That's why I don't understand the people who say Morrison "ruined" Magneto or whatever. He was critiquing the character as he had been written for more than a decade at that point. It's not like Morrison came in the day Claremont left and said "I'm gonna make Magneto evil and spite all his character development! Mwahaha!". That was a done deal long long before Morrison came on board. "Other people were writing terrible stories so I did the same thing but turned it up to eleven" isn't really a great excuse. (And Morrison's run already had Cassandra Nova as a genocidal supervillain who's seemingly motivated by nothing other than evil, so it's not like his take on Magneto really brought anything new to the table, even in the context of his own work...)

Diet Poison posted:I'm still enjoying adjectiveless X-Men but I don't think Duggan has a handle on Laura in the slightest. Also when did they give her a full metal skeleton? That's stupid; it was what made her a quicker healer and more acrobatic fighter than Logan. Not to mention the as-mentioned fatal weakness to open water wasn't a thing for her before. I like to imagine the Five screwed up. "Look, we're resurrecting hundreds of people a day. Now Proteus here said he was pretty sure that both Wolverines had metal skeletons, it sounded right to the rest of us, we didn't have time to check. Now let's be honest, Chuck's probably going to send you on another suicide run by the end of the week, we'll try and get it right next time we revive you."

I'm pretty sure that the x-gene is earth based though, there are non-humans with the x-gene but they're all at least partially human so far as I can recall. Which non-humans have the x-gene? Weren't the Skrull Cadre-K written as capital-M Mutants? Really like to see them come back on Krakoa.

Absolutely. Age of Apocalypse and Days of Future Past were meant to be changing the 'real' timeline, not just divergences, but they've long since been retconned into alternate earths.

Android Blues posted:The Technet generally are just the Claremont's kinks brigade. There's Joyboy, obviously, whose power is essentially a catch-all for "transform someone's body in a weird way", but then China Doll who shrinks people, Bodybag who's a huge lizard who swallows people and holds them inside his body harmlessly, Waxworks who incapacitates people by making their bones floppy, Fascination who hypnotises people by overwhelming their pleasure centres - it's all just a total freeform of paraphilia superpowers. And then you have Gatecrasher, the leader, who's just a totally normal superhero comics character who sees nothing at all odd about her team of DeviantArt mercenaries. The Technet were originally from Captain Britain, yes? Were they quite as weird then, or did Claremont amp them up?

And almost immediately after that, he starts trying to recruit everyone to join him in space and talking about creating a haven for all mutants. With the Moira retcon, it does work fairly well that he stopped trusting Moira and Xavier, but still thought the broad strokes of her plan were a good idea and so decided "Screw it, I'll make my own Krakoa!"

Codependent Poster posted:In his last appearance, Apocalypse talks about gathering his own forces and the Revelation. In this issue, Exodus talks about Revelation coming soon. This is not a coincidence. Exodus also mentions Satan, but this being on the last panel with Apocalypse is a misdirection, I think. Who most closely resembles Satan here? Mother Righteous. Also, 'Apocalypse' literally means 'revelation'.

And there was six of them. Which wasn't even the only time Cable had to change the name of his team after losing the trademark.

Wanderer posted:I've read enough work by Gillen to be confident that if he has a character clearly state their objective in the first issue of something, that is absolutely not what is going to happen in the conclusion. If nothing else, while it's just barely possible that the resolution will be 'None of the last few years of comics ever happened', killing Moira as a kid would rewrite decades of continuity. I doubt they're going to rewrite everything going back to the early Claremont era.

Heavy Metal posted:That is interesting thanks, has the circuits thing been used in say the Claremont run onward? I saw somebody post about that from the 60s, not sure if that's still a thing. How about him using psychic powers in general? IIRC, the first time Magneto's helmet had any special abilities or circuits was in X-Men vs Avengers (1987, no connection to Avengers vs X-Men), when it was basically used as an excuse to explain Magneto's otherwise inexplicable psychic abilities in a few Silver Age stories. The idea hasn't been used much since then - even in that story, it was presented as a unique quality of one of his old helmets, not a standard feature.

It was changed to make it more Jewish - Eisenhardt is a real German-Jewish surname, while Lehnsherr doesn't seem to have ever been used as a real surname and is a medieval term for a feudal lord, so unlikely as the name of a middle-class Jewish family. (And given that Eric means 'sole ruler' or 'unquestioned ruler', it's also a bit on-the-nose for the megalomaniac villain bent on world domination to have a name that's basically 'lord and master')

RoboChrist 9000 posted:I guess? I don't know, I just don't think like "maybe our story shouldn't endorse the allegory that the best strategy for minorities to succeed or thrive is self-isolation in an ethnostate and that this plan is good and would work if not for killer robots from the future" is a hard pull. Like Krakoa is so obviously politically/morally at odds with what the X-Men have always been about and with modern generic liberl values that, yeah, it's wild to me that anyone could think there is any way it should end that does not involve our heroes realizing they hosed up hard. I always saw Krakoa as more of a 'safe space' than an ethnostate - the Krakoan gates meant it was never isolated, everyone's family and friends visited regularly, and plenty of mutants still lived elsewhere.
