House of X & Powers of 10 discussion

[Devaishwarya]

I found it interesting that Jordan White said it was early in his return to the X-Office that he knew of Hickman coming in. So my hope is that they really sat down and ironed this thing out since they had about a year to do so.

We'll see.
I'm not much of a fan of JDW's editorial decisions so far...so...I do hope there'll be good middle ground from both he and HiX-Man and things don't get screwey, in a bad way.
Hawk-like editorial may work with less experienced writers but with a seasoned writer like HiX-Man...I don't know.
I just hope he's the type of editor who knows when to step back and let the magic happen naturally and not try to force it.

I'm rolling my eyes at X-men fans rooting for a mass exodus of the mutant species.

It’s insulting and doesn’t make sense on any level.

First, the species are intertwined – mutants need humans to survive.
An evacuation of Earth would severely damage the mutant race’s ability to propagate itself. Not to mention it would be tantamount to the X-men abandoning newborn mutant children, left defenseless in a world that would devour them.
It’s short-sighted, reactionary, and not at all heroic.

The problem is further exacerbated when you apply the mutant metaphor.

“Hey kids, are you gay and being persecuted? Don’t do anything silly like stand up for your rights – that’s exhausting. Just throw your hands up, exile yourself somewhere, and wait for things to magically get better. Because who cares, am I right? Here’s some space monsters to pass the time! Excelsior!”

As a Latino in the US, hell, as a human being, that message does me no good. There’s nowhere to go - prejudice exists everywhere. If I were to leave, the only thing that would change would be the language people used while proclaiming their inherent superiority to others.


I understand why people want mutants to leave Earth.

For a long time, the writing X-franchise has been terribly lackluster. Its building of the status quo has been abysmal – mutants are hated, now they’re going extinct, now they’re back, now they’re loved, now they’re hated worse than ever before. It’s disorienting.
It’s handling of the struggle has largely been superficial, often only barely managing to pay lip service but never really digging any deeper.
And it’s terribly obsessed with genocide, often not even making a good commentary about it. It’s treated as just another summer event - another evil mutant or bigot or whomever doing whatever because it’s that time of the year.

We’re so sick of it that some of us would gladly abandon the entire premise of the line just to get away from extinction events and get different stories.

But I don’t want the X-men to be the Inhumans.
I want the X-men to be what they’ve always been:

Champions of equality and acceptance. Defenders of a world that hates and fears them.

And, wouldn’t you know it, you can’t do any of that by abandoning Earth.

—
So, now knowing my feelings on the subject a little better, I’ll ask you this:
Why should I be reading X-men comics right now?
What’s changed? What groundbreaking stories have I missed?
Hot Claws? Jean’s back? Scott lost an eye?

Who's to say that Mutants can't operate from Earth and a safe home world ? It's not like it would be their first space adventures. Help mutants struggling to fit in on earth and give them the choice of choosing a safe home world and staying on Earth.

Mutants were meant to be the next step in human evolution not victims stuck on earth fighting hateful cro-magnons for the rest of their lives.

After all these years it's a SHAME that their isn't more to the X-Men and mutants as a whole than Xavier's dream. The metaphor will always be there, but there also needs to be some practicality in the universe itself.

is it evolution if you leave the domain that produced the conditions of said evolution

It's not abandoning, but expanding.

Mutant's should be able to go anywhere they want with how powerful some of them are. I'm not saying they leave and never come back, but leave and be more than just flatscan punching bags clinging to dream of complete coexistence. The X-Men specifically can work as heroes from Earth and whenever else they choose.
