Well, it doesn't come from Magneto, so we know it isn't supremacist talk, unless you can provide evidence that it is in this case. The phrasing is just what anyone fed up with the state we brought the world to, thanks to capitalism, would say. I can understand having that opinion about Scott or Storm's dialogue in X-Men #1. Disagree completely, but understand. This here is just a general critic that any human can express. Is criticizing humanity now supremacist talk in favor of Homo superior?
Hey, it just comes across like that to some people; maybe it is the phrasing though because, to be honest, I don't think I've ever heard anyone talk like that if they're supposed to be speaking casually. It sounds a little bit...nation-state-ish? Or the kind of casual dialogue you'd expect to hear in that kind of novel, not so much from characters like Dani and Roberto. There's gotta be a better way of getting it across, I guess is what I'm trying to say. But then, these two characters you wouldn't really expect to criticise humanity in such a generalised way anyway, not without some kind of on-panel explanation.
I guess there's just a disconnect between how we expect some of these characters to broach the topic and how they're being written. Plus Magneto didn't exactly cast a positive outlook for human-mutant relations anyway in HOX/POX. Like, ya know how you can hear something from someone and then have similar phrasing tainted no matter context? I think that's what might have happened here; they might not mean it so aggressively, but it still kind of reminds you of bad vibes? I've had some fears alleviated in Excalibur by seeing Betsy and Brian and even Jaimie; two very different points of view from one family, but not so much in cases like this where it's being written as one giant rhetoric? Like yeah, this dialogue sounded more supremacist than Jaimie's. How people seem to talk is as important as what they're trying to say; the stiffness behind it is a bit...eh...can't say what they're thinking about humanity for sure...
Like, we just need some kind of on-panel clarification of where the hell everyone stands, what different things mean for different mutants, ect. Once or even if those viewpoints start coming together it'll probably make for a more nuanced picture, I hope? Right now though...supremacist vibes from the dialogue, personally.

The space lawyer thing cracked me up. Very good use of Al Ewing's continuity. This book has a very different tone from X-Men. I don't know if that's Brisson or Hickman. Hickman certainly has love for these characters since he used Bobby and Sam in his Avengers run. The characterization didn't feel spot on to me, but everyone was distinct and pretty close to what they should be. Overall, I enjoyed it a lot.

Interested in reading Daredevil? Not sure what to read next? Why not check out the Daredevil Book Club for some ideas?
The book is not for me.
I only continue to read X-books because I don't spend any money on it.
Nice i give this 2 Rick James thumbs up. Thought the pencils and colors gave the book a nice look that went well with how the story was told. Great to see some of the other students and Hellions.
Anyone know how long Hickman is supposed to write New Mutants?
I know when he did Avengers he wrote Avengers World for a bit, I'm curious if I should trade wait or go issue by issue
Chamber has always been a low-key fave, but I found him downright boring here.
Luckily, Mondo is super interesting.
Oh -- and the St Croix twins, each in Penance form?! I really hope we see more of them. And if not -- still a great little wink for fans.
-Pav, who can't believe how good all the X-titles are...

You were Spider-Man then. You and Peter had agreed on it. But he came back right when you started feeling comfortable.
You know what it means when he comes back.
"You're not the better one, Peter. You're just older."
