    Welllll he is a Apocalypse. He's gonna do Shady sh!t creating a new magic system aint one of them

    Do you know what the Scarlet Citadel is or how connected it is to the Marvel universe? What do you think he's going to do once he gets there?
    Full colonist? Oh are they controlling the population?
    Soooo he hasnt tho?

    Emma:"Well, what do we have here?"

    Esme:" It looks to me like the monkeys are are using tools again, Ms.Frost -- playing at civilisation."

    Emma:"Young lady, how many times do I have I told you to only use our mutant names in public, so I insist you call me White Queen."

    Esme:"Yes, mum."

    Xavier's worse then she is, since there's still some goodness in her and her being on the dark side isn't completely out of character. You could replace Xavier with Magneto and not miss a beat.
    Yes...they are both on the same page.
    Villain magneto? ehhhh kinda definitely grasping at Straws dude
    Ehhh I dont think Emma's ever had a prob throwing shade at flatscans.....
    preeeeeety sure she called them something similar in first issue of generation X
    buut not saying anything when someone makes a general shady comment about a general group of people is on the road to cackling villain? So KraKoa is not only mind controlling the general populace but also one of the worlds strongest telepath? Thats some incredible flexibility

    I'm using the clues that Hickman is giving us.

    Except he has done shady sh*t creating this magic system.

    Xavier just let Apocalypse do that, Otherworld is a colony of Krakoa now. It was't too long ago he got caught up when Apoclayspe resurrected in Krakoa. All he got was a "You on our side?' pep talk and let go, back to business.

    Full colonist? Oh are they controlling the population?
    Soooo he hasnt tho?
    Apocalypse is a person who'd be completely fine with colonising places "for their own good." It's not like he respects anything that isn't a mutant and to him mutants are expendable pawns.


    Yes...they are both on the same page.
    Villain magneto? ehhhh kinda definitely grasping at Straws dude
    Magneto's shown he upholds his ideals and it's not like he's above using malicious means to get act he wants - look at what happened when his "associates" stole from Damage Control. Xaviers colder than ice, post- Krakoa.

    Ehhh I dont think Emma's ever had a prob throwing shade at flatscans.....
    preeeeeety sure she called them something similar in first issue of generation X

    You don't need to be cackling evil to be bad news.

    So KraKoa is not only mind controlling the general populace but also one of the worlds strongest telepath? Thats some incredible flexibility
    Krakoa's not an ordinary mutant, we're still learning about its abilities. Xavier is far from the most dangerous being on Earth. If it's not Krakoa the next best suspect is Moira X. I think she's going to be the key to the Krakoa era, and Xavier only went to Krakoa after she broke him. How she "broke" him remains a mystery and the theories I've been thinking about her go outside Krakoa. Given the structure of Hickman's series, how epic in scope they are and how "meta" Hickman is with his ideas and introducing alien species that are above the Phalanx - it'd be a complete Hickman move that one of those species, who exist outside time and space, made Moira a mutant for a specific hostile purpose. I this is true that backing would explain how she got Xavier under her control and Krakoa followed.

    I meeeean he's more legitimate than the former ruler. Im sure the Otherworlders would be pleased and evil witch is no longer on the throne.
    To be replaced with a mad reality warper, who's a puppet to Apocalypse.

    Edit: I was thinking of the Dominion class of species Hickman's X-men have bought up.

    I think it's the exact opposite honestly. I think it's the fans who are overly invested in the "idea of the X-Men" so much that they're unable to reconcile why certain mutants are ok with the new status quo despite it being painstakingly laid out by the writer.

    Hickman literally laid out a data page of mutant murders and atrocities and slapped a big NO MORE and the end of it to drive that point home. But you still have people screaming mind control and bad writing at the top of their lungs

    I have been reading X-men comics long enough to have a idea of the X-men personalities.
    You can always say they have changed, a lot of things have happened since…
    I still can find this change puzzling and have a hard time to find it believable.

    Hickman could have done this Krakoa thing with characters… more in-character.
    I suppose it would have created less buzz.

    "Classic fan" mentality.

    Which has its place and isn't always wrong, but it's a balancing act. Sometimes adhering to the classic fan mentality to avoid shake ups and new things can be detrimental to a property and cause them to stagnate.
    I think Krakoa, as loaded and complicated as it is, is the shot in the arm that this specific franchise needed and is working because of the writer in charge.

    Except that doesn't make sense because until Hickman showed up they were more in character. Then sudden huge shifts that data pages alone can not explain away.

    If you wanna argue Apocalypse and Jaime(that's a hard argument to make) are better rulers than Morgan Le Fay... (Who herself stated she's only there in interum until Arthur returns) I suppose you can do that.

    But to argue the Braddocks, who only came into power in the death throws of the multiverse, have more claim to legitimacy is a hell of a take.

    I don’t think it’s really a healthy attitude to have to quickly conflate simply not being 100% onboard and being cautiously suspicious of what’s going on at Krakoa with being ignorant of murderous atrocities. What I think it really boils down to is if the person, whether having a positive or negative opinion, is being constructively reasonable in explaining their opinion, because as far as I’ve observed, a well-constructed opinion tends to be more worthy of being listened to.

    That's a single piece to a large puzzle, they're not the sole reason for everything and the context isn't without bias Hickman's kept in. Many of the reporters are clearly made from characters who have their own biases, like the CIA agent monitoring the Marauders, or certain pieces are "missing" - like Xavier not being confirmed as an Omega. They're not omniscient narrators like Claremont writes, they're people reacting to events in-story which are giving us an insight into the world building in Hickman's run because they're all going to be relevant by act 3. This is act 1.

    Well, yes and no. Most Horsemen are Mutants, but not all. Also, Apoccy has an odd propensity for choosing people that have been crippled and have the WILL to survive, but not so much the power to enact it.

    Warren Worthington: got recruited while he had his powers, but his wings were shredded.
    Abraham Kieros had his power to make things go boom, but he was paralyzed and couldn't use his powers.
    Caliban wasn't a very powerful mutant. Until he met Apocalypse and Apocalypse granted him the title of Horseman TWICE.
    Gazer... wasn't powerful before he lost his powers n M-day. Then he was dying when Apoccy found him.
    Shiro Yoshida had his legs cut off by Deathstrike, then had his powers and life force drained nearly to the point of killing him by Rogue.
    Lorna Dane became Pestilence after M-Day while she had no powers.

    Then there's the non-mutants...
    Rory Campbell, normal human.
    Cal'syee Neramani is technically a mutant.... Shi'ar. Not even born in this GALAXY.
    Bruce Banner is powerful, but he's a Gamma Mutate.
    Leper Queen didn't actually become a Horseman, but Apoccy considered it even though she had no powers and was disfigured by massive burns.
    When Gazer became a Horseman Apoccy told him he had to fight an ordinary guy named Foster to the death for the position. Presumably if Foster had killed Gazer he'd have become War.
