    These things can be explained away by skrulls or doombots, I'm sure.

    She needs to be on the front lines.

    And with Roberto, I just don't want them to ignore how he treated the students when Illyana came back. He had recently been mentoring some of these kids in Young X-Men, and as soon as Magik showed up he was willing to physically fight them to defend her even though some of them had a legitimate beef with her. He even said that she deserved to be there more than the students did.
    I'm a strong believer that the next generation's of mutants should be having a bigger role moving forward, and that characters from Gen X, New Mutants, New X-Men etc. should be apart of the next era of the X-Men. In this regard, I think having Dani or Roberto inherit the title of headmistress of headmaster would be a natural progression in terms of the whole 'student becomes the teacher' trope, which has obviously been done before through every other X-Man that has ever the led the school after Charles Xavier.

    I don't see why they couldn't be apart of an X-Team whilst also being in charge of the institute. They don't necessarily have to be A-List X-Men or leading the franchise to be in that role. The institute doesn't need to be the crux in these stories, and I would have no problem with Mirage or Sunspot kicking ass with the New Mutants and then going back to the institute to instruct the next gen- we've seen Logan, Ororo, Scott etc. have it for years.

    As for your take on the whole Roberto thing, I can respect where you're coming from, but I'm not sure it's that critical to their relationships. All the X-Adults have disregarded the X-Kids for years- I'm sure they're used to it. Seriously though I think in that particular instance it was more about Roberto being a loyal friend and teammate to Illyana moreso than being about hostility or lack of attachment to the students. And regarding her being more deserving of a place there, I understood that as meaning she'd earnt her stripes as an X-Man and had been through more than them. He probably could have delivered his message in a better way, but that's how I perceived it.

    Right. I was honestly just surprised you entered the New X-Men Appreciation thread only to bag on two of their core members. You do you though.

    'Straight white douchebags' quite frankly could be better applied to a dozen other X-Men (Multiple Man & Quentin Quire included), but I've yet to see any evidence supporting your claim that Hellion and Elixir should be in that category. You're entitled to your own opinion of course, but both of those characters are among my favorites, and I believe them to be better than that. Like many of the NXM, the pair have a lot of potential, and since their own runs ended we've seen very little in terms of character development on all fronts, as they've been excluded from core events and haven't really factored into anything 'big' happening within the X-Books for a number of years (meanwhile Glob and Quire got shoved down our throats)
    Furthermore, there shouldn't be a NXM death quota in the first place, but if anyone has to die, then please let it be mutants that nobody really cares about anymore, rather than those with a lot of potential that have already been sidelined for years. I don't think Loa or Blindfold should have died either, but neither would I want Hellion or Elixir to take their place.

    Dani and 'Berto would be wasted as heads of the school. While I really liked Weir and DePhillips New Mutants, it was not good for Dani at all. I don't think anyone ever wrote her worse. (Okay, I've blanked out Guggenheim's Young X-men.) While I can see her as an occasional instructor, she should never again be limited like that. Likewise, Roberto should be a mover and shaker on the world stage, for better or worse, not tied to the school.

    IMO, the proper head of the school is Sam. Sam's always been the caregiver of the New Mutants, and heading the school would give him time with his wife and kid.

    Good point, and particularly key because there are six more Guthrie's in the pipeline to go to that school, eventually. Sam and Paige, actually, would make an interesting administrative team. (Maybe even their mom, Lucinda.) Melody's already been a student, and another, Jeb, I think, already has his powers, but hasn't yet gotten any training. Still five to go (one of which Age of Apocalypse foreshadowed becoming a ginormous size-changer named Amazon).

    One wonders how Lucinda affords to support all those mouths to feed. Very rarely, there'll be some mention of Sam sending money home, but at other times, he seems to be blissfully jobless and unconcerned that his siblings might be starving to death back in Kentucky... Getting his mom a support staff job at the school could go a long way to A) having them around for when their mutations flare up and B) giving his mom an actual paycheck.

    The Eyeboy who died was actually a Doombot Skrull sent to infiltrate the Xavier School to corrupt the Phoenix so that the alien armada can invade from Space Latveria who regularly do battle with Space Wakanda.

    I suspect Dust is our Champion, which would justify her absence. I've no idea why the others were excluded, and why they didn't answer the call to arms. I can only hope Rosenberg doesn't take the opportunity to clean the slate and kill them off.
    Especially when it explicitly shows Indra and Loa reacting to the message. And YES, the New Mutants should’ve already been teachers and headmasters/mistresses. To carry the momentum, the X-Office should’ve had two spots or three ready for Roberto after No Surrender ended. But I would like some resolution between the remaining New Mutants and New X-Men (like did Magma ever apologize for killing Dust?)

    I do get that, but he still "died" under Kitty's watch.

    I like the idea of Emma coming back as the headmistress, but if it came to a new person I would put my money on Xi'an, personally. If the school didn't suffer any major disasters to rend her soul, she'd be pretty darn perfect for the job.

    "A wandering youth. A swordsmith by the sea. A demon in the mountains. Some lessons are best taught in parables... but will the youngest X-Men unlock the riddle of Logan's Edo-era tale, "The Dust From Above"? It's a feudal Japanese fable with a shocking twist!"

    I was never able to find this issue online, but - hi, I'm courtneywhitless on tumblr and this is the one strong outlier to my whitewashing Loa post. Thank you for sharing!

    Oh, no problem! Yeah, the more Loa was brought into prominence, the more she got lighter and lighter (and her hair got more reddish for some reason).

    I honestly wonder if they will start up the school model again. The attitude of the last editorial slate was "a school needs students", while the current one seems to be "packing all these younger generations under one roof makes the X-Men look old". After Disassembled and AoXM, it wouldn't surprise me if we see most of the younger students fly the coop.
