If Wakanda can stand then so can Krakoa.
Will it fall? Maybe but itll just come back lol.

The thing is, what is Krakoa? As a country, does it belong to the mutants, the X-Men, or Charles and Moira?
Because if it belongs to Charles and Moira, no matter who else thinks they own it, I question if the island even can change ownership or if it's tainted.
Perfectly said. It's clear so many of these conflict points are going to come to a head but I also don't think Krakoa has to disappear once the dust settles. Hickman may already have a completely different Quiet Council in his hands that we won't see until later this year.
Agreed! It'd be nice to see Krakoa become a mainstay in the MU.

And like Genosha, it would only be bastardized in each later iteration(Claremont's original Genosha stories are by far the best). Just like how no one could do the big school concept after Morrison. They might try, but it would only be an inferior knockoff. I think Hickman is doing some interesting things with Krakoa, but under lesser hands, it would fall apart. He's already said he will put all the toys back on the shelf when he's done.
Let the flames destroy all but that which is pure and true!
A Krakoan revolution would be a super fun event a few years down the line. Who decides to rise up against Charles and Moira? Who stands with them? What is Krakoa without them? I even think this could be done in an interesting way without relying on the "Hero Vs. Hero" trope we're all tired of.
I fully suspect that the conclusion to Hickman's run won't be that any more. Though I do think it'll come after all the excrement hits the rotating metal blade circulating air in a room. A lot of the current status quo will probably be gone (miracle drugs, resurrection, the current Quiet council) as others have said, but that in itself would lead to interesting stories. I think stuff like Children of the Atom is a hint of things to come. Where enough humans are okay with Krakoa and mutants being around that they help stop a Sentinel assault that would otherwise exterminate mutantkind. Basically, Charles will be vindicated. But we're not there yet, and this journey looks like it's going to be a fun one.
