Yeah, X-Men is supposed to be Scott and whoever he picks for missions. It's already nice to see some forgotten characters used again, even if it's just a panel or page.

I like that Cable genuinely thought giving a grenade as a gift would go over well and not turn out disastrous. Also Rachel's face when Krakoa started to get it on.

The woman with the sword is definitely Rasputin from the House/Powers of X books. And I'm going with a definite Nanny and the Orphan Maker, Sinister, and Havok. The others I'm not sure of. Codependent Poster fucked around with this message at 00:25 on Dec 3, 2019 |

Xavier/Cerebro isn't actively backing up human brains. But if Xavier decided to pick a few humans to do that to, I don't see why they couldn't bring one back.

And Warren got the Archangel upgrade. Beast got blue, I guess. I hope Jean lets Scott know about Beast running the new X-Force and he's just like "Christ, what an rear end in a top hat."

Rick posted:Wait. . . does this mean Rusty has appeared? Xavier tried to recruit Namor, and Namor called him out that Xavier didn't really believe what he was saying about superiority. Magneto or Apocalypse are probably the ones you want to send to recruit Namor. Also I don't think Reed is 100% in the right. The X-Men said they were willing to wait for Franklin to make his choice, but had to accelerate their recruiting him because he was losing his powers. Losing an omega level mutant would be a big deal to them and they don't want that to happen.

Rand Brittain posted:I agree that there's a lot of great stuff here. I guess what I'm wondering is, wouldn't this go a lot better with Xavier as a well-intentioned cult leader rather than have him be obviously evil and creepy? I think it's also a role Xavier is playing. He doesn't truly believe that mutants are superior, but he's trying to come across that way because of what Moira showed him. Take that away and he'd want to stay in NY and try to integrate with humans. I think there's a lot he doesn't agree with, but he's doing it because if he doesn't, they're going to be wiped out. You can see this trickle down to others like Scott, Kurt, and Logan. They aren't sure about all of this, but they want to try and make it work as best they can.

Rachel has the Phoenix Blade. There's Grasscutter and Godkiller which were both Hickman creations. Gorgon has one, I forget which and can't remember what happened to the other. Illyana has the Soulsword. Brian has Excalibur. And I'm pretty sure Cyclops has the Black Knight's old photon sword. Codependent Poster fucked around with this message at 18:38 on Feb 29, 2020 |

I liked Hellions more than I thought I would, but yeah, there's still some questionable things about it. I don't think Empath will be someone that's redeemed, especially compared to Scalphunter, but some book was probably going to have to bring him up sooner or later. I think Wells has the chops to pull it off. Though I'm also wondering why they aren't doing more like, psychic intervention with the characters. You have all these powerful telepaths and nobody looks into why Alex acted like that and instead sent him right to judgment. Kind of silly.

danbanana posted:I'm not saying that a Catholic has to stay Catholic and that life experiences can't change beliefs. But that's not what Hickman is pushing here. He's saying that resurrection process changed it for Kurt and that's dumb. Hickman- like a lot of writers and a lot of you folks, frankly- are too heavily connecting religious beliefs to an afterlife. Christians don't believe in God because they believe in Heaven and Hell. Heaven and Hell are part of the Christian "mythology," but not its defining feature. So why would an entirely person-based process for resurrection shake Kurt's belief? Hell, why would it shake it anymore than a defibrillator would? I can't speak to your religious experiences, but growing up Catholic I can say that yes, Heaven and Hell is certainly a defining feature of my growing up. Everything you do in life is all about getting into Heaven and avoiding going to Hell. This is what confirmation is about, this is what receiving the Eucharist is about, this is what confession is about. It's about asking forgiveness for your sins so you can get to Heaven. Catholicism practically guilt trips you for doing anything bad because if you do, then you're gonna go to Hell unless you do these things and ask for forgiveness. So yeah, I can buy that Kurt is struggling now. But I think he's also looking to help guide current mutants. Forming a mutant religion because the afterlife doesn't exist, or maybe it does but their souls don't get to spend much time there before they're resurrected? He asks Scott if they're themselves, because neither of them really know. So in creating a religion, he can maybe form some guidance for people struggling with those same questions. After I die, do I come back as myself or am I someone different? Do I actually come back? This isn't even getting into comparisons with Jesus and then maybe asking if this is the same thing that happened to him, or it's different, or now are all mutants basically Jesus? I think we'll see a lot more on this before it's all said and done, too. Though now I'd really like to see Daredevil and Nightcrawler get into a discussion about faith.

galagazombie posted:That was honestly the least icky thing about it. They spent the whole time talking up that the only thing that gives you worth is if you have super powers and that if you lack the ability to turn your fingernails blue under a full moon you're little more than a soulless animal undeserving of basic dignity. To be fair, that was Apocalypse saying it and we saw other people like Scott and Logan being pretty uncomfortable with that whole thing.

Pat Mustard posted:Wasn't the crucible fight something depowered mutants chose to do, so they can be resurrected with their powers? They chose to fight Apocalypse as an alternative to committing suicide. It didn't seem like anyone was forced into it, all the Guthries were asking whatshername "are you sure you want to do this?" and stuff. I think it's the whole having to fight him with a sword and take a lot of punishment mentally, physically, and verbally thing. There are easier and less painful ways to go.

Nah, X-Factor was a good book for most of its run. The Simonsons did some great work with it. And I think they did a good job with salvaging Cyclops. He was a mess for doing what he did, and most of that came home to roost in Inferno where he was able to admit to Maddie that he did a terrible thing, regardless of if it was Sinister partly manipulating it or not.

The Summers family is awesome, my friend. Even Vulcan is cool now. The book isn't about them anyway. It's about Scott and team members he picks to go with him on missions, so it doesn't have a limited cast. Even then he isn't always the main character.

mango sentinel posted:Cable is the only good one. That was just my appraisal of the first issue, I'm definitely gonna keep up with the book. Was amused by Hepzibah trying to fill out her Summers bingo card though. Sorry, you're wrong. Especially since the cover to X-Men 1 can read: Never talk to me or my son or my brother or my other brother or my father or my alternate reality daughter or my wife or my wife's boyfriend again. I was also looking for a line in one of the latest X-Men issues that Vulcan says, but came across this which I don't think has been talked about here: https://twitter.com/RedClops123/status/1237898286435946497 Hickman, you are tricky.

Yeah, or it could be that Vulcan survived in Black Bolt. It was never really clarified how Black Bolt survived. So is there a Vulcan running around in or as Black Bolt? Did they resurrect Vulcan with another one out there, or is the one at Krakoa this the same one that came back from the Fault? He says that he has that dream every night as well.
