We Already Know How To Die: New X-Men Appreciation 2019

[The Big G]

I mean, you don't need to be an adult to be an actor and we also don't know what the child labor laws in Age of X-Man are. Unless we do, I didn't really read it thoroughly.

Regardless, I gotta assume she's an adult by now.


Do you think anybody remembers that Surge's hair is dyed and not made blue by her mutation?

As a former Cali resident...labor laws in the state are nuts. But then again in the Age of Nate..."families" don't really exist. I imagine most minors are wards of the state until they reach a certain age.

So I was tweeting with a friend about Hellion today and we both agreed...that due to the fact that Hellion and Surge were off making movies in the Age of Nate and based on Child Labor Laws...both of them must be at least 18. In fact i believe Academy X canonically stated that Surge was 17. She's probably at least 19

The KYost core should all be between 19-21 — with Anole and Pixie perhaps 18 as they were the canonically youngest — since they're all the same age as Laura, who is 20. In fact, if Nori was established as 17 during A-X she would be 21, since Laura was stated to be 16 in X-Force.

I thought Indra was canonically the youngest. Because he was freaking out about it in one issue thinking it meant he was next to die.

I remember something about the Summers Institute in Age of X-Man,all mutants under the age of 18 were supposed to be enrolled there or at one of the other schools around the world. They got separated into different majors and that determined what kind of job they would get when they graduated at 18.

So if Surge and Hellion were making movies and Mercury was a bouncer at a sex club, presumably they're all over 18

Also, not that it matters or has any REAL significance, but in Gen X both Julian and Nori were in there unis when Empath attacked. Maybe they've finally become too old.

News of NYCC

Bling! joins Fallen Angels! Glad he gets to write a black character, especially one that hasn’t really gotten much attention. Hopefully she gets some cool moments with X-23 and we see Mercury as a result.



Ed Brisson also said that we would see members from Generation X and “Young X-Men” on New Mutants...........I cant slam my head on the table enough times.....

Well, if he's talking about Rockslide and Anole, he's correct. Picking a really rotten run to link those characters too, but still correct.

Wait so did Brisson say “New X-Men” or “Gen X & Young X-Men”

Either one makes sense but it’s still odd that Sunspot wants to bring Cannonball to Krakoa but doesn’t bring Icarus. Also, JDW follows it up with asking the crowd if they like Glob which is a sign that Brisson’s statement isn’t really revealing anything.

[The Big G]

By "NXM" Brisson means Glob, Armor, Rockslide and Anole

[Tycon]

When Brisson says and writes things about the New X-Men, he makes me want to fart. I dead don’t wanna read Glob, Anole, Armor, Rockslide, and Shark-Girl with their one-note, Brissonified personalities for the fourth time.

Who do you want to read?

I think we should make a pool just to know which NXM is the most beloved and who isn't (I'm looking at you, Rockslide)

Hellion and Surge would win this easily

Ooh, I should’ve worded that better. I love everyone in that crew to death, but I just don’t think they have what made them interesting when they’re written under Brisson. And I don’t think we’ll be getting anything new so I would like to see how he writes a group of maybe Gentle, Hellion, Mercury, Tag, and Wallflower? But I’m also interested in who everyone prefers and doesn’t like as much on the team.

I don't know what you're talking about, Rockslide is awesome. He's a great comic relief character with his blend of enthusiasm and cluelessness, and his interactions with other characters are almost always a highlight of any book he's in (like roasting marshmallows on Match's head and genuinely thinking it's totally cool for friends to do that). The problem is too many writers have been throwing him under the bus to promote Glob. Glob even stole Rockslide's place as Anole's BFF and resident indestructible tank to the point that in Disassembled the writer OUTRIGHT IGNORED that Santo doesn't even breathe to make Glob look cool.

The sad thing is what made them truly interesting was that they were kids who suffered REAL trauma. But Marvel won't ever do anything meaningful with it because it makes the O5+ look bad for letting it happen. That's why when Rockslide, Armor, etc. got angry with Jean during Disassembled they completely ignored the fact that these kids had been through ACTUAL **** in favor of generic "Waaaah, we're teenagers and want to be treated like grown-ups" rebelliousness.

Doubly sad: In this age of school shootings and lock down drills, what the NXM experienced post-Decimation is INCREDIBLY relevant to today's youth.

[powerpax]

Their endless trauma is what makes me disinterested in them, tbh. In addition to the fact that I always felt it was too soon to add them when the books didn't fully know what to do with either Gen X or the New Mutants at that time back then.

They do have some good characters who are quite popular today and I respect that and like some of them (Rockslide, Anole, Elixir, X-23 in doses). But I just find the entire KYost scene to be one long slog of misery porn and violence and grimdark **** and that spills over to most of the New X-Men for me.
