So, um... can we talk about the Wakanda/Krakoa conflict?

So how does Broo the Brood fit into all of this, as he works for Black Panther as an Agent of Wakanda while also having been an X-Man? We also know he's on good terms with the X-Men: https://twitter.com/cracksh0t/status...87248352047104

He inherited his X-gene from his Russian father, and thanks to general Wakandan xenophobia she is treated like dirt for having had a relationship with an outsider which lead to her treating Gentle the way she did, basically Wakandans are racist, jerks.

None of that has anything to do with the fact that when he’s reflecting on Wakanda after his return he said wasn’t mistreated because of his X-gene. The racism he was faced with in Wakanda was because he was the child of a foreigner. Wakandans have rejected foreigners of various races. T’Challa himself has said most Wakandans consider themselves a race all their own. And if it matters, he calls this mindset foolish and says he is trying to change it. In my previous post I concede that Gentle’s origin has since been retconned. We’ll see what characterization of Wakanda X-Men writers choose to take going forward. It likely won’t be very centric to the story Hickman is trying to tell and like others have said I doubt a major conflict is on the horizon.

I think it's all good as long as he doesn't interfere with the drug/non-treaty situation.

The most recent times we've seen T'Challa interacting with mutants he was actively helping or being helped by them. The Wakanda/Krakoa conflict makes no sense, much like numerous other things with Hickman's X-Men.

i agree, he helped jean in x men red

Would love to crack some of y'all's heads open and read this conflict. But alas...

I honestly don't think it's gonna happen for a while yet, if ever.

In fairness, even aside from ye olde heart vs Duty; the recent changes to Wakanda’s government means that what T’Challa thinks is not necessarily going to be Wakandan policy, especially since the devastation Namor caused contributed to the near-revolution.

Did his father stay in Wakanda after his son was born? If he wasn't around anymore, the mother was left alone with her son to face the prejudices of her people, the proof of her misalliance being her son.
Then, it's not that that she hated her son, but she wouldn't be reminded all the time something that she did and caused her to be marginalized.
Growing and being considered as a fault to be hidden is certainly very detrimental…

I don't know, but that's the logical conclusion I came too. She even gave him a German name and the background in that pick looks like Wakanda. So if it's a "Bronx Tale" situation, she knew while in the relationship.

I think the simple truth is Yost needed a reason for Gentle to be hated like other mutants, but it wouldn't work if he always had a place to go to escape the prejudices of living in America. So he magnified an aspect of Wakanda just for Gentle.

His mom ain't **** and his dead beat father is a ****.

Thank God the X-Men took him in. Jean is his mom now.

It is possible for racists to be exceptions to the rule in a community.

"I find myself longing for their inane chatter. For their constant interruptions."

You and me both, Gentle! Bring them all to the forefront!
