Because of the major power difference between the two, probably. There’s a reason there aren’t “Blindfold Diaries”
But we know what she saw, she saw herself living through the various deaths that happened throughout Rosencanny.
It was related, in that she didn’t see anything far enough beyond her suicide because she’s on a ban list from getting resurrected.
Yeah, she really has. But going to Krakoa was supposed to wipe the slate clean. The past shouldn't matter anymore. By holding Irene over her head, they're letting Mystique know that that's just propaganda. Again, no one else has to earn resurrection for their loved ones. What should be a basic right as a mutant, is denied to her.
"A happy ending? So unlikely. We're not having a moment here.
Wrong city, wrong people, all huddling in fear.
No one escapes the slaughterhouse, and that's just where you're at.
(You could've asked Rebecca but then Adam stomped her flat.)
You think you're special cuz you're scrappy? You're deluded, time to go.
Lucy's living on the moon but you're another dead psycho."
Couldn’t Mystique tell the Krakoan public that Xavier is postponing resurrections for leverage and that he’s sanctioned a death squad? Use the court of public opinion to cancel Charles and Magneto!
Does krakoa have a newspaper or something? How does anyone know what’s happening on that island? I hope they’re not dumb enough to rely on periodic telepathic broadcasts.
While I won't argue about Mystique being a brilliant tactician most of those plots ended poorly for her in the end. On top of that none of those people are on the same level as Prof X or Mags except maybe Sinister. I couldn't agree more that Hickman is writing her brilliantly and I am excited for the journey, I just don't think she gets a happy ending when playing these games.

I didn't say they were good, I said they weren't evil there is huge difference.
Also, to the point people are raising about delaying resurrections for precogs, its important to remember that they haven't raised every dead mutant yet. The projections we were given stated that it would take upwards of 10 years to bring back everyone, and they haven't stopped. Its a case of Mystique being told she needs to wait to get Destiny back. That's not really gonna gather much sympathy, especially considering her history.
