One character at a time? Sure. You can explain them. If it’s a Rachel focus, for example. Easy. Scott and Jean’s daughter from the future. A horrible future where she was forced to hunt her own kind. Tragic, but easily explained.
Corsair? Space pirate who is Scott’s dad. A f@#$in’ space pirate!? Yep. Kidnapped by aliens and threw little Scott and Alex out of a plane with a burning parachute. To save them.
Vulcan? Forgotten Summers brother who turned evil and did a bunch of cosmic stuff and we kind of all forgot about him, but now apparently he’s back.
Nathan? Well that’s Cable. You know, the guy from the Deadpool 2 movie. He was in the cartoons and video games in the 90s. You mean the big gray haired cyborg guy who is Scott’s son from the future via a Jean clone, who got infected with a techno virus by Apocalypse and was sent to the future to be raised, and then Jean and Scott’s respective consciousnesses were catapulted forward in time so they actually raised him, and then he came back and founded X-Force and had lots of adventures with them, the X-men and Deadpool? Yeah, that’s him. Why does he look like a skinny kid with a bad haircut? Well, see, he recently came back in time and killed himself. In order to save his future. Then why’s he still here? Great question. You know what. F this ****. I can’t explain it anymore. It’s ridiculous.
