Hell yes!
Absolutely!
Haters gonna hate? Honestly, I can only guess at the motivation behind these articles.
As for the second point, I'm still waiting for Jean's return to be capitalized on. I haven't posted it on the Unpopular Opinions thread, but I think Phoenix Resurrection wasn't good and X-Men Red was overrated. There were enjoyable elements to be sure, but on the whole Jean has been wasted. Scott hasn't been immune, I had hopes for Uncanny but we all know how that turned out.
Does it need doing?
Yes.
Then it will be done.
.............more like western audiences have been trained to view threats against an establishment as terrorism no matter the reason, while Jean’s approach has been layered so much in liberal ideology and talking points that it’s been pretty digestible to most readers.
The main reason is that Scott and company went to Hot Topic to look like the goth kids who hang by the soda machine at Lunch while Jean dressed like Optimus Prime, who everyone associates with their dad and buying them ice cream after beating up your annoying brother (Starscream), your drunk grandpa (Megatron), and that 35 year-old who stands outside the house windows and stares blankly inside (Soundwave).
I don't blind date I make the direct market vibrate
Jean wasn't upsetting the status quo as much as Cyclops tried to.
Remember, X-Men: Red was about Jean fighting fantasy small robots making people be racist. Bendis' Uncanny was about Cyclops kicking cops in the face for arresting mutant kids for being mutants, joining rallies about mutant rights and basically pissing off SHIELD at every turn. It doesn't get much more AMERICA **** YEAH than to paint one as God's emissary and the other as a demon, and we all know which is which
But who am I kidding, it's been around this everywhere, forever. Even more center/left inclined people and governments fall for this kinda BS. It's better to pick something extraneous to the common person to see as the villain, than shoving their faces on the fact that their authorities, the very system they live in is corrupt to its very core and that fighting it would be the moral thing to do.
My best guess is that it took that long to get it to the point it's at in HoX. I would think that maybe Moira was working on Krakoa in secret, which would account for her being completely off the grid after faking her death. This also kinda dovetails into a theory I've had that the black/blind spot on the Krakoa map is actually where Moira is since we haven't seen her in the present/Year 10.
To be honest, part of me wants to see Cyke and Hope reconcile, mostly because of all the build-up (remember when Cyke was building Hope a crib in San Francisco when he couldn't sleep because he was worried over Cable and Baby!Hope?), but the X-Office seems to love turning Hope into a straight-up bitch instead of a brat. Strange.
And now she's gone again. And, eh, with her recent portrayal, I'm not sad.
-Looks at signature; recalls the years the anti-Cyke squad/Aaron fanboys used the "child soldier" argument like it meant something-
Let your wallet talk.
Never forget, Cyke fans~ https://twitter.com/i/status/1246248602768486402
Jean had more presence in death than Cyke in Hickman's entire run.
Hickman succeeded where 2010s Marvel didn't: make the X-Men villainous and irrelevant.
Hilariously, the X-Men have now fully embraced mutant supremacy and racism against humans.
