but since charles had a dream who cared about that, maybe if the x-men clean the senator's floor he might think a bit highly and not pass that pesky law.
Its actually nice to see mutants have enough self love and notion that they deserve better to pretty much get their own nation, use capitalism to gain the political power necessary to control the game that always made mutants lose (wich is btw how many minorities secure their safety, by using politcs and financial gains to secure improvement to their people), krakoa is just that, it elevates heroes and villains sure, but also and most importanty:the thousands of normal civilian mutants who need it the most, who have no one but the x-men and krakoa, who were being experimented upon or living in misery and are now safe.
its nice that the mutant with situations most akin real life minorities, those with striking features they cannot hide and powers that can be an hindrance will be protected instead of ignored, or put into a school that explodes every 2 seconds or is decorated with anti mutant rallies in the gates.
krakoa does all of that with power that was adquired with praticaly 0 bloodshed, they have created legit political conections, are acting much nicer than atlantis, latveria, attilan ever acted, but aparently those 3 are fine.
yet they are the villains, cute, interesting.
truly what they say, for the priveledged equality feels like an injustice, i just never expected x-fans to react so negativly to mutants making a progress so for once they can actualy live, instead of barely surviving.
