I gotta ask this (and i am not very good at these types of matters so apologies if i mess it up along the way)...everyone here knows full well that she is an evil fucking bitch, there is no if, and's or but's about that she is evil to the core, yet why is it wrong to feel either a measure of sympathy for her or root for (either privately or publicly) as she tries to accomplish her wife's request?
To use another example, Doctor Doom, we all know that he is either protrayed as a horrible monster wrapped in human flesh or a honorable anti villain, and while i am sure there are times we cursed him such as when he made a demonic pact that had him push the F4 to the breaking point and had Ben killed, Johnny wounded, Franklin traumatized, Reed scarred and Sue distraught, however there also times took his side during Time's Run Out when he took the fight to the Beyonder and then stood against him when he stole Reed's family from him and even more so cheered for him as he took over for Stark and tried to be a good man for once.
Or another example, wast it wrong to side with Namor knowing full he lead his forces into Wakanda and killed many innocent bystanders during Time Runs Out? Was it wrong to feel sympathy for him after T'Challa and Black Bolt left him to die on a doomed Earth and made him work with Thanos?
So, i ask the thread, is it wrong when it clashes with our personal bias and thus right when it aligns with it?
Now i can only speak for myself, but for me at this moment and with what Hickman is doing with her and Irene, i am rooting for them because so far their actions make sense given what has so far gone down in the other books and in this book and that is this: Krakoa is NOT forever, some sinners should not have been let into paradise (Apocalypse, Shaw, Sinister), the leadership has been proven quite inadequate/incompetant (looking at you Xavier and Lensherr) in dealing with the mounting threats (Orchis, Peacock man, Plant creatures, etc) the laws only apply when it suits there need (Kill humans but do so when no one is looking), and not all are welcomed on the island (NO PRECOGS ALLOWED).
Eh the continued well being of a whole race of people trumps some murdering rapist psychopaths wanting her wife back. But I'm just speaking for myself

Because a good amount of people who are doing are same people rooting against Krakoa. And it is kinda hypocritical " They are backing an evil backstabbing murderous character who is going to destroy the lives of millions of people because she can't get back her wife. Basically they can empathize Mystique getting back Xavier and Magneto because of the mistreatment that they are doing her and they are okaying she will have to do wrong steps to achieve her overall noble goal BUT Krakoa is wrong but it is when generally the same type of thing as Mystique situation ,Krakoa and mutants have been mistreated by humans and most fans who are okay with it understand they are wrong things happening to achieve overall noble goal.

Some of you need to chill with the language you are using in this thread.

“Strength is the lot of but a few privileged men; but austere perseverance, harsh and continuous, may be employed by the smallest of us and rarely fails of its purpose, for its silent power grows irresistibly greater with time.” Goethe
The reason we might be rooting for Mystique is because we feel like the mutants are fucked anyways because of Charles and Moira.
It is not that she can't get her wife back...it is not a situation like with Kate Pryde and the gates...it is not that they can't clone Irene...it is that they won't because they will not allow precogs who will see that no matter what...Krakoa will fail. And if that gets out all this mutant unity will go away. So they are stinging her along and using her as their spy/assassin and keeping Irene from her when they could just get the 5 together and bring her back....maybe even younger and give them more time together.
