Same. I found this issue to be really satisfying. Love David and the way that he puts Charles and Erik in their respective places. This whole issue of something being "implanted" in Kurt and...
Agree. Wry, gallows humor would work...this was just silly too often.
Look, I'm not saying it was good...again, this whole series is ridiculous...but this was the best offering of the week. I like Badass Storm owning death without her powers, and the Summers family...
Thank goodness for the Cable issue, because the other two this week were just turhible. Ugh. This whole thing has been a steaming pile...but I admit to being curious about what Jean and Scott are...
Love the Braddocks. The storyline is admittedly convoluted, but in general I like the direction. Excited to see what this means for Brian.
A lot of the Krakoa stuff has fallen flat for me because the characters seemed off...like their dialogue was almost interchangeable...but this felt like the X-Men to me. We done.
For my part, I just appreciate coherent character development. When a character changes their philosophical trajectory, show me that process. One of the problems that I have with this most recent...
I honestly don't care which version of the team, as long as they get the characterizations right. That's been my biggest beef so far with x-men movies...too many of the characters just seem to have...
I agree. This was one of the most.....intimate.....books I've ever read. Beautiful.
My initial admittedly snarky thought is that those 5 would probably only be down if they were the subject of the worship....but overall, I am thinking that many of them would balk. Religion can be...
Yeah, apparently he only studied formally for a matter of months. Still, having gotten that far he would certainly been at least considered reasonably orthodox. There was also the time that Mr....
Agreed. My guess is Xavier...or whatever is masquerading as Xavier.
Totally agree about the trajectory towards tears. I also agree that he is, in every sense of the word, unorthodox...but he was on the precipice (procedurally) of becoming a priest, so I would assume...
I keep holding out hope that they are all under some influence. Their choices in this run go way beyond the old drastic times call for drastic measures defense. Several characters have clearly...
Forget the absolute moral vacuum that must exist for Apocalypse to even BE in this community much less function in this role...for everyone who has ever walked with someone on the edge of suicide...
Honestly, this whole Krakoan run has made little sense to me...like some sort of fever dream where everyone is recognizable by appearance, but does nonsensical things.
This is a good point. It's a huge shift...especially for him to talk about "starting a mutant religion." It echoes other seismic character shifts in other X-Peoples since this run began. At first...
Yeah, there have been plenty of signs that the whole clan has gone Bats$%t crazy. This issue just sealed it.
I'd like to buy the "X-Men are being jerks to create the necessary drama for this series" idea....but they are acting out of character across the board. The veneer is that they have adopted a new,...
This is interesting. Could be. Or they might have a specific threat in mind that they think Franklin might solve...very little faith anymore that they want Franklin for his sake.
True...often these stories are disturbingly reminiscent of a Three's Company Script.
Oh come on, if it was just Charles it might have been chat, but you don't bring a full squad including Logan and Eric to just shoot the breeze.
It's not a rational choice. I'm a pacifist but come to my house and say you're there for my kid and it will get physical.
Agreed on both counts. I have often disagreed with Reed...finding myself more and more in disagreement with Charles though. My guess is that sooner rather than later his ends justify means approach...
I think this is it....Beast IS smart, just not as smart as he thinks he is or certainly as savvy.
