Uncanny X-Men #6 (Spoilers/Discussion)

[yogaflame]

Depends on how you feel about Rosenberg's work on it's own. How did you feel about Phoenix Resurrection, Multiple Man, and New Mutants: Dead Souls?

[CGAR]

I read all 6 issues together. And although its not terrible its not all that exciting.

They could have made this a 6 issue arc with the way they're revealing things.

It's dragging out too long. It's like get to the point.

If it was shorter each issue would be more impactfull and we wouldnt have these dumb random pointless fights with animals and humans.

X-Men editors should have cut the excess material and made this a more concise/succint story.

Nate remains horribly OOC. I give it a B for boring but at least it moved the plot forward. It just took 6 issues of Jean's team and Storm's team being innefective amateurs.

If Nate decided to go villain, he’d do it in a way that was a lot more interesting than this

Dude is not a loud, rant and preach type

He was always more of a guy who just wanted to be left alone

[cranger]

If Nate doesn't care about Jean at all, why did he bother taking the form of an old woman and talk to her to see if she agreed with him or not? lol.

That whole reveal bugs me now. Did he go do this with a bunch of people? Why Jean? If he valued Jean's approval why kidnap Kitty? Why not ask Kitty of this if he was going to take her and then use that conversation against her. Just sloppy.

[GeneTitan]

This is turning into a disaster.

I expect this art in a Pizza Hut comic, not a major X-men book. It’s not his best effort, maybe rushed?

I laughed at "Pizza Hut comic." But, I know exactly what you mean. Where's the style? Where's the "wow" factor?

And why did Jean not ask Nate about Kitty and the senator’s wellbeing?

Like she care.lol.

[ARkadelphia]

Yeah Im glad Im not the only one that noticed that Jubilee should have been injured

She said "ooof!". What more can you ask?

[greyspawn]

It's like they haven't read Dark X-men or New Mutants. It was shown in Dark X-men that he can live without a body. Then in New Mutants he was nerfed. It's almost like they are combing the dead at 21 thing from the start and the shaman version.

On to the case with Jubilee, it could be any of the following:

- purely bad editing; she was impaled and then a few moments later was back in action.... to then be thrown through a building with no injuries...
- maybe Beast gave her some serum that boosted her healing? But what about Anole and Oya?
- X-Man intentionally protected her with TK as he tossed her out of action...?
- X-Man has a plan for her and helped her recover from the spike to the abdomen?
- Jubilee has been kidnapped, crucified, shot, stabbed, impaled multiple times... she has developed more resiliency like Kickass?
- Jubilee is gaining a secondary-type mutation?
- Quentin Quire’s attempt at restoring Jubilee to mutant form didn’t wipe out her durability that she had as a vampire... and according to Marvel’s power index, her durability and healing factor was similar to Wolverine’s as a vampire... maybe it stuck?

Also... she has her powers back. They did this for a reason. How come, then, she has only this far shown the weaker limits of her powers aside from blasting through a brick wall in Gen X #87? Decades ago in Gen X, she was capable of so much power and had proven destructive feats. What gives?

Frankly they just should have used a character whose power set allows them to survive that type of abuse without any sort of Twitter handwaving. Laura would have been a good choice, also because it would also let the NXM knock her down a peg over the "Big Kids" remark earlier.

They could’ve just swung her into the air and have Armor catch her.

And break every bone in her body...
Her Armor isn't exactly soft.

[anyajenkins]

Jubilee keeping a little bit of the vampire durability wouldn’t be a bad thing. She was fixed a piece of the Phoenix, the fiery avatar of occasionally plot devices. It’s possible.

I miss my vampire.
