HOX/POX OOC X-men?

[Rnap22]

I’ve seen a lot of people post about some of the x-men seeming out of character with their views and behavior. Cyclops seems to be the Boy Scout again. Jean seems to have gone back to her Marvel Girl persona. Storm seems very pro-mutant (not a bad thing.. she should have been like this during IVX!)

We don’t really know what events may have changed (big or small) with this 10th life, but do you think Xavier may have reset some minds to their optimal personality to fulfill his goals. We know that Cyclops definitely outgrew Xavier in the past for his less than amazing past. Jean doesn’t seem as fiery. While we have only seen some characters with dialogue, is it possible that this are just back ups that he picked? We know he reset himself twice. Did he do the same to some of the x-men that we will find out later?

Currently it's all in the air and anything is possible. That said it could be possible that Xavier 'reset' them after seeing them moping in the astonishing annual to a more happier mindset.

The other option is Krakoa doping them, possibly complicit with Xavier?

Or it’s all paranoia In our reading of the comics and it’s just the way Hickman writes them?

Didn’t Jean reference something that happened during Inferno when she got resurrected? The only thing she’s maintaining from her ‘Marvel Girl’ era is the costume.

The militancy just comes from a combination of being done with human bullshit and for once having a leg to stand on, politically speaking. There’s a cause to really get behind. I could see the whole cloning plotline coming into this, but I’m hesitant to say it’ll explain away this new “extremism”. It makes sense as natural character progression.

I’ll admit, I was really worried about Jean’s characterization in hox 3/4, but after reading 6 i think she’s in good hands. As for the others, I’ve been pretty much okay with how they’re portrayed. We’re supposed to be a bit put off/surprised by their actions

Agreed 100%
To which I'll add...I'm not that surprised by their tone/attitude to their characters because:
This is not Claremont's X-Men. Different time, different premise.
The place of power in which they now find themselves engenders a new tone/attitude. A bold, fierce, independent spirit is needed to keep, protect and develop what they're building on Krakoa.

To me it's about the X-Men realizing no matter what peaceful overtures they make to humans, especially humans seem to reject them, that they need to stnad up for themselves and have a safe space for themselves akin to Israel or Black Lives Matter.

I agree, many of the X-Men are not exactly acting like themselves.

Nightcrawler is out of sorts. He's retained his swashbuckling attitude, although he's a bit too cavalier not only about the future prospects of Xavier's whole endeavor, but Sabretooth's indefinite exile as well.

His Catholicism seems to suspiciously allow for the "cloning"/"resurrection" process. Life and Death is no trivial matter. For Xavier to casually bring someone back to life wouldn't likely sit well with many devout individuals (Catholic or otherwise).

Like others have pointed out, other X-Men are not acting like themselves either. I'm just curious if this is on purpose or if it's just someone's writing style?

I think OOC complaints have thus far been vastly overblown and there's no conspiracy behind any characterization shifts.

Cyclops seems consistent with his Utopia/Revolutionary phase self, it's just that he's not in charge anymore.
