X-Men #1 Discussion Thread [Spoilers]

Also, why is Hope not there? Besides Pod People weirdness.

Don't say "Bad blood." cause I'm just gonna point to the genocidal tyrant making steaks.

Honestly, it's probably bad blood. X-Men would rather forgive Sabretooth (Cannibal), Apocalypse (Genocidal Maniac), Sinister (Crazy Evil Scientist), Shaw (Capitalist), and Selene (Omnicidal Maniac), than their own teammate.

She is a member of the five. They probably all live together.

Has Hope even met her father's murderer aka Kid Cable on panel so far?

it isn't. It is just her function on krakoa, sh eand the five live some kinda of symbiosis, they are always together and she doesn't has many reasons without her father to live on the summer-moon

[spirit2011]

Logan hasn't met Gabby and doesn't interact much with Laura. Marvel loves to give him kids but he has actually better relationships with Kitty or Jubilee.

they just gave him a new blond daughter, I just don't see the reasons for it when he barely acknowledge his actual kids

It all seems like lazy writing

[nandes]

What is this from?

If I'm correct, it's a small story connected to The Exterminated #1.

Ah yes, it's the Claremont story from X-Men: The Exterminated

[Hizashi]

Note to those wanting some kind of ‘justice for Madelyne’. Can we please at least recognise that the person who is responsible for everything is technically Mister Sinister and that Scott was just as much a victim in that situation, having his grief cruelly manipulated by an unseen hand. And that’s before we get into the numerous retcons and convoluted storytelling ever since.

Yeah, this sounds reasonable.

For the most part I loved HOX/POX and while I did like parts of this issue, some of it did feel uneven for me. I liked Scott. I liked the inclusion of Storm and Polaris. Magneto felt off as well as much of the humorous moments. Vulcan felt very strange.

I liked the ideas about family. Jean in this issue was peak den mother. I groaned but at least she was in the issue. Rachel didn't contribute much either I do not know what to make of the living arrangements of Jean, Scott, and Logan.

I do love the villains. I like Orchis a lot and I like the X-Men having human bad guys. We've had so much mutant vs mutant stories over the years. We need a break from it.

LOL at all the folks flipping out over Logan and Scott both screwing Jean.

The funniest bit about it is that there is no way this is happening. Cyclops screwing both Jean and Emma is far more likely and even that is not happening.

What the efff did I just read, lol? The Prelude to Inferno 2?

It's not even funny how hard Scott and Lorna have been screwing. Their scene was sheer insanity.

Quite honestly, the only three-way relationship in mainstream comics I know of is Gail Simone's Scandal/Knockout/Liana. And, even that was only possible because higher ups were too busy with upcoming DC relaunch, so there's no way this is happening.

It was minor character that we barely see on a low selling book, so it was fine.

I have a hard time believing that marvel would ever allow it, when recently they didn't let some characters come out. And there is the sotry telling that is broken

[WhitePhoenix]

The Blue Area of the Moon Krakoan Biome is the Summers House, where the Summers Clan (plus Jean and Wolverine) live together

Except Jean is part of the Summers clan... Cable even calls her mom.

[Perfection/Emma 2]

Jean married into the Summer family and is therefore a Summer. Wolverine is just there to please Jean whenever Cyclops is busy

[zinderel]

I think it's like when women say things like "ugh, men are trash". Most of the time they don't actually hate all men and think they're all trash. It's like an emotional generalization that has some truth to it but it's not to be taken too literally.

100% this.

It’s metonymy. Linguistic shorthand for a more complex thought, expressed in a simplistic way. It’s like saying ‘suit’ when you mean ‘businessman or possibly a government official for whom their job is their life.’ You could certainly take the time to spell every nuance out, or...you could trust that people understand basic rhetorical concepts.
