Seriously, between 2005 and 2018, we've had multiple extinction and genocide plot threads. Let. Them. Die. Already. It makes us, the reader, feel like we need to reach for a bottle of wine. That's not getting into the stupid Bad Future plots that keep coming up. Seriously, Days of Future Past was two issues long. Stop trying to do more of these. I've personally had it with Here Comes Tomorrow, All-New X-Men, Age of Apocalypse technically, and Old Man Logan. At least when Thanos does it, we see it as a villain protagonist, so at least it's creative.
If someone told me that Gabby Kinney posting negatively about Fluttershy could create a Bad Future where bronies take over the world and lock up the mutants, then I'd probably believe it. Can we have a good future plot more often?
