PREVIEW: Extermination #5

[Wiccan]

I thought this was a good issue and an appropriate ending to the O5 storyline. I don't know what's the outrage here about lol.

[Snoop Dogg]

hmm, I guess that is true. Hopefully the writers use some of that.

The writers of Uncanny, which include the one who came up with the idea, are already not using it where they should because Jean and Bobby, especially Jean, should have complicated feelings on Magneto now and Jean shouldn't be barking to students about how they're just children when O5 Jean was their peer.

It's like teen Tony. The writers nor the editors care. They weren't making some kind of interesting new development, they were fixing a perceived boo-boo and now the boo-boo is fixed.

[PrezValentine]

What relationships outside of Scott? A kiss with Beast and another with some random college boy? That is far away from a serious relationship

I hope some writer retcons Jean and the college kid into having a six month relationship with light BDSM, so you can stop trying to be snide and twisting my words. It might have been just a two month fling, I'm happy there's something. Never said it was a serious relationship on par with Scott.

She barely knew him, probably a week or two. he was a mutant hater and she didn't even know, it was a really the start of it.
I also don't feel like the relationships mattered, reading Jeen on Blue no one could tell she ever dated anyone

It's not like many writers will bring it. It can complicate a story very easily

Why does the number of body count matters anyway? How will that help with her character development. If writers will rely on that for some quality development ... then I schleep.

[AJpyro]

Ok so while in the issue itself was good. Nice dialogue. Good action. It still has a really big problem.

Unless Jeen had an de-agifier, the 05 are not only taller but literally older than their old canon ages.
-Wouldn't Xavier notice the differences?
-Warren's body was modified by cosmic power. WOuldn't Apocalypse notice?
-WOuldn't Hank have some magical traces on him?
-Does this mean Bobby is stronger than previously stated?

And I hate the fact that Snoop pretty much confirmed this was Teen Tony. I made the same claim and this feels wrong.

I finally read it!
i loved it i fell there was still tons of stuff unresolved but it was good. I'm so sad Jean is gone, she died forever

also i loved the Jean/Cable part. He is like a cute murderous baby

It was 4.5 issues setup for X-Force + Summers/Grey family drama, then at the very end we got a bit of dialogue with the characters this book is ostensibly about and we get the laziest solution possible to characters we’ve been reading about for six years.

OMG this was one of the best finales I’ve read in a LONGGGG time like I am definitely reading X-force after this kudos to you Eddie and I’m definitely buying the paperback of this whole volume. As someone who literally got into X-men in 2013 when I was 12 Jeen was like the first comic Jean Grey I’ve ever read (All New X-men #11 was my first ever X-men comic) and as the years went by Jeen was growing as I was growing and now that I’m 17 and getting ready to turn 18 it made me so happy (not gonna lie almost shed a tear) when Jeen figured out a way to keep her memories for her adult self and Adult Jean Grey said “I know how to beat you” that was SO BADASS. Yes I know there will always be the Original Jean Grey who I love with a passion but I’m so happy Jeen didn’t get completely erased

Things I want to see in X-Force: Cable aged up some, and a less cartoony artist.

extermination was a good trailer for the new x-force.

I don't think there was another way of solving this problem in a better way that we had

[MIMIC616]

Everything is all back to normal and nothing bad every happened.

Except, Mimic and Bloodstorm we can't fix that.

Cullen Bunn pitched an O5 Exiles book. One that wouldn't have gotten cancelled at #12.

[cranger]

This mega lingering plot line was never going to be able to be resolved in any way that made sense or felt right once it went past the first few issues of Bendis' run. Whatever the resolution set up for future writers can go sit in orbit along with that giant space station full of alien refugees that Mike Carey left hanging around Earth.

Me, like six hours ago before I went to sleep:

"At least I can curb the bloodcurdling rage the X-Line gives me with forum snark!"

Brisson, an intellectual:

"Hold my visor."

spoilers:

What if... we use the past several years of Cyclops' history as a launchpad to do some character work where Scott comes to terms with the lessons he's learned and finds a way to move forward? Nah, he just has the memories of a kid who lived in a world learning that X-Clops was a dead stupid loser who was a mistake and also Hitler.

end of spoilers

So Ed is on Team Beast Was Right.

[Cerridwen]

WOW Jean's not even bothered Rachel was taken away from them.
