The only two things that could make modern Moira as great as OG Moira is bringing back the bobcut and the machine gun.
And the phonetic accent
Daddy with the right priorities.
Moira and her long terms plans vs Destiny is a interesting concept. We still do not know if what Destiny may see will result in mutants stopping what Moira is trying to prevent. I'm thinking Destiny may have seen a way to accomplish that, but Mystique coming into conflict with the X-men is a catalyst for a change that results in the victory over time. The cool thing about Destiny is that she is a character that can be used to plant seeds for future stories to be explored. In this case we see her having a convo with Destiny in the past that is relevant now. In the future we could see more convos she had with Mystique and others in the past that could have similar results.
In the Messiah Complex i Mystique believes that Hope can cure Rogue,because of something she has read in the Destiny diaries. It's possibly she could have read other future events that she now is understanding to get a broader with of what the diaries and any convos her and Destiny had about the future. This could make her a real important player in the grander scheme. I do believe at some point we will get a wider peak into the Destiny diaries and what they say. I'm guessing that Moira and possibly X and Erick are secretly trying to decipher them. Beast is another character i know has seen the diaries, so they have him as a source.
1 thing i would love to see is Hickman do a book displaying The Diaries of Destiny in a sorta Stryfe Strike Files meets Arkham Asylum A serious house. It could be predictions for mutants overall and individual characters, with great art from various creators.
"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."
No more "Yon cheeky wee bairns?" Oot!
Juumbo needs to update this looque.
Yeah, Hickman got her good.
And the best part it, it retroactively ruins all of those old stories!
Evil laugh!
You know, we are talking about Moira, but I have to agree about Betsy. I always loved Betsy, but it's nice to see her as more than fetish fuel.
I have to ask you older fans, how the fuck did you make yourselves read this stuff? How did you know what was going on?
