I mean, it's a variant cover. It's provocative and well-drawn, it's not meant to be a deep moral statement.
I wonder where Darwin is in alll of this isn't he still an immortal Death God?

Is it me or did PAD leave virtually every character in his book in some insane boondoggle? I usually like his work and I'm all for evolving characters beyond stasis but damn, I have no idea what he did to Darwin and AFAIC 90% of what he did to Rahne was a hack job.
Monet got out fine, but she was also shackled with Guido drama.
"We come into this world alone and we leave the same way. The time we spent in between - time spent alive, sharing, learning together... is all that makes life worth living." - Jean Grey
Nothing's wrong with that. Marvel and DC writers have to learn to adapt and not expect their character(s) to be clean slates.
"Cable was right!"
I don't mean complexity. I mind crazy shit that doesn't make sense. Is Guido alive, dead, a demon? I have no idea what happened there. Is Rahne still a homophobic bigot with an antichrist wolf baby or whatever? What the hell is Darwin?
PAD left Guido a Hell God, but he was eventually revived & had some cameos until Rosenberg killed him off again.
Rahne's son is still canon, but he's dead due to Guido murdering him to revive Monet.
Not sure about Darwin, as I don't care enough about him to keep up. Last I remember was him screwing Monet in a one-night stand, and saying he was happy to be there even if she didn't love him or wanna be with him.

At this point...I'm quite happy and willing to follow HiX-man's idea.
If it occurred in the last ten-fifteen years, (right up to and including UXM 2019) I consider it "lost" and best ignored and forgotten.
"I wish I could live life five times over!
Then I’d be born in five different places,
and I’d stuff myself with different food from around the world.
I’d live five different lives with five different occupations...
and then, for those five times...
I’d fall in love with the same person..."

Rahne's homophobic? Is that about Rictor. I didnt read X-Factor but if she had negative feelings about him coming out, I think its understandable considering she had a thing for him as a kid which they rekindled as adults. She feeling stupid, betrayed and initially not responding well makes sense. Is it wrong to say her feelings were specific to her own personal situation and not representative of how she feels about gay people as a whole? With that said I could be completely off base and she never resolved that and ended the series hating gay people which I dont think is the case bc she and Karma get along fine
