technically Nathan did not realize that till he was sent into the past by Blaquesmith, so a lot of his knowledge of Scott, Jean, and Rachel is what he read on the computer. This was all stuff adult Cable found out way later back when Jean and Scott were still in X-Factor and Rachel was still in Excalibur, that's when they all learned the truth about their links to each other.
Anyway, I am not really disputing you, I am just saying I think Rachel and Nathan are trying really hard to get to know their Dad again after a lot of crappy things that happened over the last several years for all of them.
This is no different then family getting together on Thanksgiving and trying to be in their best behaviour to get along. It's not so much that Nathan and Rachel are faking it, but more that they are invested in trying to make a good impression for their Dad!
We are MUTANT..Krakoa, FOREVER!!! “Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité”
I feel like Scott is trying with Rachel and Cable. Sure he is not doing it great but sometimes the intention is what counts
The actual problem with this issue is not all of your measly dialogue quibbles, it is that these three good boys didn't get their own chart! EPIC FAIL! #GameFreakLied #FreeTheNationalDex #ArakkoRegionNewPokémon

Playing catch up. I don’t usually respond to older comments but this one is balanced and interesting.
I also don’t see anything wrong with the dialogue here. It entirely matches Hickman’s approach so far. I understand that some find it challenging to be confronted with new characterisation in this way, but in my opinion this is a choice that Hickman is making. He and his team of writers are allowed to play with changes in this abrupt way because the circumstances allow it. There has been a time jump and a seismic shift in everyone’s perspectives and philosophy. A cultural paradigm shift. A line has been drawn in continuity and we can expect more of this. Nobody is quite the same anymore.
You know what your problem is. You are just too agreeable. I have nodded along to everything you say in this thread. Maybe not actually a problem but it’s unusual

Yes!
I know I don’t speak for all long term Cyclops fans but I am enjoying this while it lasts. Cyclops having fun and just ‘being himself’ is my primary reason for enjoying this comic. I equally loved his rebel phase, but right now he has no reason to be a rebel. He is walking broadly in step with those around him. If anything, Krakoa has helped reconcile these aspects of his character. It won’t last, and I embrace that also.
I think it is absolutely fair to dismiss the notion that these characters have a single ‘true’ portrayal that needs to be adhered to. Especially in the light of recent, character challenging events.

Let your wallet talk.
Never forget, Cyke fans~ https://twitter.com/i/status/1246248602768486402
Jean had more presence in death than Cyke in Hickman's entire run.
Hickman succeeded where 2010s Marvel didn't: make the X-Men villainous and irrelevant.
Hilariously, the X-Men have now fully embraced mutant supremacy and racism against humans.

On the whole “why isn’t Cyclops in mourning”, it seems clear that there is a discontinuity issue here. This story appears to belong before or perhaps concurrently with X-Force. Cyclops is clearly not aware of the death of Xavier in this story.

Cyclops knows that Xavier is dead but also knows that
1) They can resurrect him
2) Crying will not make it happen faster
3) The best thing he can do in the meantime is to keep Krakoa safe.
He has always been "Do the work first and the feelings later."
Where does it mention the assassination?
Oh you mean the leading text. I tend to ignore those. This story has absolutely zero resonance with the assassination so I am surprised it was even in that text. I read it as concurrent.
It is difficult to actually address X-Force #1 without spoilers anyway. I don’t think either book this week has really handled that. Just casual nods to continuity. We shouldn’t expect that kind of continuity anyway, that expectation is a curse for readers.
Without getting into a long tangent about X-Force you are making some huge assumptions with your #1. We don’t actually know how it will be handled but we can expect it to be part of the story. There isn’t an instant fix.
We need to wait and see how ready they actually are for such a death. I suspect they will need to jump through some hoops to bring Xavier back.
