Age of X-Man: The Amazing Nightcrawler #4 (spoilers/discussion)

Enormous, all-caps, 72pt Oh Em Gee!

The Cuckoos orchestrating it all - in multiple cycles before, no less - is the best "the center cannot hold" reveal we've had in this event so far. It's fabulous - bitter, tragic, and leaves me curious about who it was that fell in love in the previous rounds of manipulation. Also, I couldn't help but grin at Kurt and Meggan arguing over child-appropriate viewing while being just a bit wtf?! over the film they were watching.

Love it. I want McGuire on a post AoXM X-Book sooooo bad right now.

Looks like the "big" lady isn't Thumbelina, but rather Briquette. Love that she's getting used again.

i wondered about that. she was the spitting image of Thumbelina.

“...Oh. You really weren’t acting.” Chills.

So seems like Nate has his own secret Cabal, higher up than even Department X.

Sorry for the retroactively Thumbelina-less issues

Using Meggan's empathic shapeshifting like this was a great choice

Wondering if this Mystique and the one helping Emma in Uncanny are the same or not...unless if was Meggan pretending and then disregard...

If you read the book, you will know they aren't the same

I feel that Hellion would have a role in "Flatscan Zombie Beach Party"

You see more of her costume in this issue and it does resemble Briquette's more. It's them thigh highs.

It's okay! I was worried it'd be a brand new character, but I love both Thumbelina and Briquette.

I didn't saw that plot twist, very well done

Good point. That was probably one of Regan's productions. Seems like Kurt's studio does propaganda films, while Lady Mastermind's is more exploitation flicks.

That Star Trek film from Alpha and the Streets of Rage one from #1 didn't seem like propaganda ones but they most likely made the one with Colossus in X-Tracts.

Sooooo how are there Two Mystiques?

[QUOTE=BroHomo;4370329]Sooooo how are there Two Mystiques?[/QUOTE]

One of them is Kurt's mommy issues made manifest

[QUOTE=Beetle;4370331]One of them is Kurt's mommy issues made manifest[/QUOTE]

ouch...been there but the dialogue made it seem as if the real Mystique and Kurt had a previous AgeoX relationship I only read this issue once and don't have it in front of me I could be wrong

I think Meggan somehow tapped into Kurt's memories from 616 and there isn't an Age of X-Man Mystique

Ah ok makes sense confused about when Mystique/Meggan said ... "you were with me at first (or beginning)" was that supposed to be Mystique or Meggan who claimed that?

I really need to reread this lol

[QUOTE=Beetle;4370407]I think Meggan somehow tapped into Kurt's memories from 616 and there isn't an Age of X-Man Mystique[/QUOTE]

Yeah, Kurt's memories of Mystique were the template Meggan was drawing from.

This was the only X-Book I got to read cuz I still couldn't get UXM. Only one more issue of Meggan left.

Eh. AoXM timeline is tricky. Magneto has memories of Wanda, Pietro and Stryfe. Most likely after the revolution or whatever X-Man had Kurt re-educated to forget that Mystique (and probably Rogue) are his relatives.

Its soo funny and yet so perfect that the Cuckoos are basically "To make movies...we need to cause drama in their real lives. So who are we making fall in love this time?"

Mojo would be proud

I kind of feel bad for Celeste, Phoebe, and Mindee. It's obvious that Nate made a deal with them that he wouldn't separate them from each other as long as they monitor and maintain the propaganda movie business for him. I think this issue gave me the feeling that the girls are starting to disagree with each other about supporting the false Utopia and they might elect to restore everyone's memories.

Who's that little girl? Is she Kurt's daughter?
