I've realized what my problem with how Armor has been acting is. It's totally out of character for her to do this. She's been the singular x-kid that's been playing with the big guns almost exclusively since she was introduced, even up to recently, and she has been a leader and a good one at that, never the one to complain about an order, and that was to her benefit. But in Uncanny she's been written like an entirely different character - if it were a character that actually was kind of snappy and bratty and impetuous then it would be a different case entirely, but she isn't. She's not Quentin or Surge.
She's Armor. She wouldn't think that she was getting the scraps from the X-Men if she were sent to investigate the sewers, she'd think that something was seriously up.
"We come into this world alone and we leave the same way. The time we spent in between - time spent alive, sharing, learning together... is all that makes life worth living." - Jean Grey
ALL of these young X-Men that pop up in this series have faced big X-Men stuff before. This subplot is just silly all the way around.
Heck, frickin Idie killed some baddies her first week at the mansion.

But here's the thing.
Most of the "Big X-men stuff" these kids have been encountering throughout most of their history has been kinda forced onto them.
Ever since decimation, most of the NXM have been getting attacked at such a regular basis that they're almost superheroes by circumstance.
Isn't that a large part of why so many of them went with Logan during the split ?
Because a lot of them have been getting tired of it ?
If they idea is that they are now actively trying to be X-men - not by circumstances but by choice - then having them complain about getting sidelined despite their experience kinda makes sense.
Them BEING sidelined makes a little less sense, but since Jean's the one leading (and the one with the LEAST experience with any of these kids) it kinda makes sense.
She wasn't there when most of the crap they went through actually happened.
Man I haven't posted in a loooooooong time...
And it was probably even longer than that since I could get through an X-Men story without rolling my eyes.
Another Messiah story,Nate being Jesus, Apocalypse being locked up for the second time in just a few years.
I'm just sick of X-Men going around in circles. They need a complete makeover. X-men is what got me into comic books but this last several years just makes me sad.
And once again Apocalypse just seems to be there to do nothing. I don't know why they don't just kill him.
I think this would seem less out of nowhere if "X" was occupying Nate's position in the story. But I'm also fine with Soule's creation remaining forgotten
I think that people tend to forget the Nate is Cable. Perfect Cable IE Strife and we saw how powerful Strife was and he was the son of Scott and a Copy and was a copy himself. Nate is a pure child of Scott and Jean's genetics. The maximum potential their Genes could create.
Nice preview.

Yeah, I don't see Armor as being portrayed as obnoxious. She's frustrated with her feeling of being kept to the side but I don't think that makes her come off badly.
I get where she's coming from and clearly there is a story thread building out of that, where the younger X-Men are pushing to be considered on a more equal plane.
I'll be waiting until the actual issue comes out to read this but just on the art alone, this is looking really good.
