Reveal all/most of the run was a psychic illusion.
Reveal all/most of the run was a dream.
Reveal all/most of the run was a virtual reality/Danger Room sequence.
Reveal all/most of the run was a non-canon What If? story.
Time travel undoes what happened.
Reality warping undoes what happened.
Someone will use magic/science/mutant powers to heal/resurrect everyone.
Some other kind of retcon (please elaborate).
Nothing is undone. Everything sticks.
Yeah I guess they just ended up being easter eggs but it gave the illusion that something bigger was happening. Plus the self-awareness of recognizing the unfair expendability of X-Students but mostly New X-Men in one story then deciding to kill two more in another is comical.
Didn’t Rosenberg himself say that it was all part of the mystery that some characters didn’t belong?
There was a mystery? Was it just that everyone was fake except Cyclops at the very end? Did we even find out why everyone kept saying they were better off dead backwards because I’m just assuming it was rule of cool or something.
If nothing pops up properly explaining it in #22 or the Omega we can assume all writers involved pulled a D&D and forgot elements to their own story, lol.
Was Rosenberg ever gonna write X-Men Red cause I doubt that. Sean being there sort of made sense since he’s in an undead-like state. But also did it matter either way if they were just constructs? There was such an emphasis on “omg dead mutants everywhere” but by the last issue, none of it mattered so Phoenix could’ve just populated the place with X-doubles.

So..........................was this about the last issue or the Emma/Mystique/Sinister stuff we already called during the run?
That is sick and twisted. I’m trembling at what he would’ve wrote...
So I guess the correct answer was Rosenberg dancing on the graves of the characters he killed laughing like a maniac of how meaningful and profound his run was while piling more bodies on top of the still warm corpses of the most recently killed characters.
