    Sounds like a Tom King plot.

    Enh! I voted "No" but...it's not like every mutant on the island will suddenly be polyarmorous now. As in any society, the citizens will live and love and fornicate according to their personal interests and desires. The only difference I see on Krakoa is that no one will be judged for thier choice.
    They will be free to...if I may quote Jacqueline Carey..."Love as thou wilt".
    Lord Ewing *Praise His name! Uplift Him in song!* Your divine works will be remembered and glorified in worship for all eternity. Amen!

    It's so sad to see so many people thinking that poly relationships are ones without "love" or that it's just an excuse for people to cheat on each other or worse yet that monogamous relationships are somehow inherently better.

    I voted no. I don't care if it's considered prudish or conservative, and I've joked about it before, but I don't want the books to lean into this so heavily. If that is indeed what they're doing.
    Does it need doing?
    Yes.
    Then it will be done.

Hardly enough time to uproot decades of ingrained social norms and morality. Give it a few dozen generations first maybe.
    They were also disenfranchised from human society at puberty or perhaps earlier. Since they've either had to hide their identity or been rejected because of it by humans, they could resent those norms and actively want to rebel against them now that they have the opportunities.

    Jean Grey reaching her Omega potential in this era of X-Men, with her husband and sister-wife.

    Both Emma and Jean have arguably abused Scott in the past. Logan is there as his safety net.

    Physical abuse during XFactor in the 80s and then brainwashing him into getting with Emma at the end of Morrissons run aka rape by any other word.

    I don’t have a problem with it in general but I think it’s corny in this case because polyamory doesn’t really fit the characters involved. It’s just perpetuating an old love triangle that I never really cared about so I’ll keep ignoring it like I have been. But it’ll be interesting to see if this becomes a trend on Krakoa along with other non-traditional couples
