X-Men #2 preview

[Celestialbodies]

Is there some sort of agreement between users using Emma as their avatar to troll? Like it's fine if you want to have some fun but y'all are just annoying now.

Only since, Hickman it's like they've been revived.


I never thought I'd say it, but I almost miss, Rosenberg he acted as a deterrent for some of our more "trollish" current members it was such a different time around this place.

I do not acknowledge Grand Design as canon.

Thank God cuz Grand Design makes it look like Bishop and Rachel knew each other before they came back to the past.

Knew each other in what sense?

But grand design isn't canon, just a quick retelling by a cartoonist

[Nick Miller]

Is the dialogue intentional? Its different to HoX/PoX dialogue. Everyone seems very Stepford, or like they've been replaced by green men

The basis of Hixmans epic.

These are all pod people now, copies.

It’s bad for the franchise. ESP. Reading these first DOX books (I enjoyed btw) a new reader would be lost. There’s no explanation of anything.

Grand Design isn't even intended to be canon. It's more one man's personal interpretation or attempt to tie together a bunch of ad hoc and one-off stories from ages ago. It worked a lot better in the earlier phases but by the time of 80s and 90s started not being really as necessary. But the Grand Design #1 is really amazing how it tries to unite these wildly disparate narratives/events.

This Hickman dialogue. I dont know man. They sound so...

It's so weird that I can't decide if it's just bad or if it portends that these characters aren't as or what they seem.

[Askani's Flame]

I'm intrigued, but everyone still sounds alittle off to me. It's almost like we're getting a Stepford or sitcom version of these characters. I do think that Rachel is being sarcastic (like in the Gold moment) to Scott by calling him "father", as she has never done that before. He's always Scott or Dad. I hope this leads to something nice for Rachel with Nate and Scott as she has mostly been left out of any real Summers/Grey moments for a variety of reasons.

I don't think it is meant to be take literal, these is how these characters behaviors.

The art doesn't help, thi sis some really bad art. No emotions, no moviments. Choosing Yu for this book was a mistake
His art on captain america was better, maybe not enough time to draw, as we already have the issue running late

Anyway, Wolverine is the real father so this whole preview is just off.

That's the benefit of the polyamory. Wolverine can be the bio dad while Cyclops can raise Rachel so she gets the Summers surname.

He may have been your father, girl, but he wasn’t your daddy.

Wolverine can't be the bio dad without a huge retcon.

Rosenberg kept everyones down because he wrote everyone bad.
I think the worse is on twitter, really seems like Hickman emboldened some bad parts of the fandom

[Triniking1234]

"Hey, kids"

"Hi, dad. What's up?"

"Not much. Charles got shot again"

"Was it Bishop?"

"Now, Nathaniel. You know we don't talk about that. Y'all wanna help your old man hunt some monsters."

"Yaaa"

Knew each other in what sense?

Piskor's version was that they were both from the DoFP timeline but got sent back to different points in the past (b4 X-Tinction Agenda) to prevent it from happening.

Wolverine can't be the bio dad without a huge retcon.

How huge do you think it is?

[PrezValentine]

Logan being the bio dad only works out of pity for Claremont and his grudge against Cyclops, since that's the only reason that was ever an idea.

[Emesem]

Just seems to get worse doesn't it? Is there any thing in the world less humorous than Hickman trying to be funny. The Emperor has no Clothes. Wake me when this is all done.
