I can't stand Dr. Gregor. She's annoying, and I'm not going to feel bad when she goes.

Its way too late for me to feel warm and fuzzy about Irene and Raven Marvel. Mystiques obsession with Wolverine and her cruelty to Rogue and worst of all her treatment of Kurt on the counsel. Remorseless witch! Hold your tongue. You should be happy you are allowed to breath next to him.
To be fair the X-Men are also dealing with a galactic threat. Orchis is developing a Nimrod sentinel, which leads to a future like we say in lives 6 & 9 of Moira, which was where sentinels/homo novissima ruled the planet and eventually they surrender the earth to the Phallanx. The X-Men are just dealing with the threat in an earlier stage than the Avengers are.
The other hero groups know how dangerous Nimrod and other types of Sentinels are. Why don't they at least try asking for help? Or just let them know? They can just have a throwaway scene of Black Panther on a video monitor saying that the Avengers are on the other side of the universe at the moment and can't help right now.
If Chuck and Mags had any real intelligence, they'd quietly "disappear" Mystique and resurrect Changeling (who's a LOT more controllable, and has exactly the same powerset).
Then get Changeling to shapeshift to Mystique form for QC meetings.
Problem solved.
Nobody would know the difference (Except Logan and Laura - and I don't think they have any real love for Mystique)

For Changeling to be brought back, the Five would have to know, not to mention Sinister. If he were to just disappear off the island, other characters like Sage would know. It really doesnt make much sense to have anyone masquerade as Mystique. It would be simpler to have her setup for something and then be exiled in the Krakoa pits like they did Sabretooth
Well, yeah. No one thinks Irene is a total cool and good person, but I trust her and Raven a bit more than I trust Moira and Charles mostly because I know what they want. I still have no idea what Moira and Charles want. I suspect that Moira wants to go full Evangelion and force Instrumentality, but if that is true, then I really don't trust her.
I gotta ask... This whole sympathy-for-Mystique-of-all-people-lulwhat is some sort of Valentine's Week ironic gag, right?
Perspective: Yes. Insight: No way, Jose. She's just a precog. She can see the future, but her understanding of it can be influenced by her biases, and lack of technical knowledge. There is so much guess work that goes with understanding her visions, that they're borderline unreliable. A classic example is DOFP. How could she possibly not understand that killing Kelly would end in genocide?
"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."
Her last story before Hickman came along was her leaving messages to trick Mystique into bringing Logan back to life, while thinking it was actually bringing Destiny back. She failed. She's definitely flawed.
