Does this mean we get to nickname this one H vs X?
True.
For all we know that could just be the catalyst (not the end result/fallout) for what Xavier et al are doing...only time and HiX-Man, will tell.
I figured it out: mutants are causing global warming.
I agree. It’s completely silly to write off Hickman’s entire thing off of a solicit. I guess it’s just I can already tell that this “criticism” starts and stops at just yelling about it because they’ll be on board when it starts coming out like the rest of us. Plus, the Powers of X solicits do give away something new that I haven’t heard many people talking about.
I don't blind date I make the direct market vibrate
The X-Men will never, ever have equal rights. A large portion of humans will always hate and fear them, and all of them have Sentinels. This is called Gilligan's Constant.
Gilligan's Constant is an answer to the age old question, "why didn't the other people on Gilligan's Island simply kill Gilligan, since without him they would have escaped the island."
The answer is "Because the series wouldn't have a reason to exist."
Yes it is dumb and tired and told a million times. But without it, there is no reason for the X-Men to exist. A world where mutants and humans co-exist perfectly is a world that no longer needs the X-Men. The comic would end, because the central dramatic premise that the series is built around would go away. It isn't like the Avengers, who can always find a new bad guy after the current crop is exhausted. The X-Men's existence is in the ancient tagline "Protecting a world that hates and fears them".
Mutants could still be facing extinction even as HOX starts......we don’t know how much time passes from when AoX ends and this starting (a month or two tops).......it’s not like they’re going to decommission the latest Sentinel Generation or scale back what was started at the end Disassembled so quickly.......even with Xavier potentially influencing things, humans could still have psi dampeners in War rooms or the US could have the Squadron on stand by (unless the end of War of the Realms changes that).......change isn’t going to happen instantly.......it took a few months before Steve Rogers took action against Osborn.....
