A compromise assumes alternatives were mentioned yet nobody here knows about them and nobody is talking about it. Which they should be when the Crucible was occurring right in front of them. So either this is bad writing or something else is afoot and I don't think this is bad writing.
You're not supposed to side with the Dark Phoenix or putting mutants in concentration camps. Those aren't gray moral decisions.

I don't think this phrase means what you think it does.
And nah, I don't need a data page when I can just... look at the art in front of me. And one (1) featureless dude with his armed raise does not equate to "figures" cheering.
They're not, but they're not safe superhero storytelling either.

i mean it's irrelevant to know about these other choices because these weren't the ones decided upon.
I don't think we need a data page of a transcript of that particular quiet council meeting to know that the QC was unable to handle the mutants depowered by the Pretender an Apocalypse is solution what's the one that they decided upon to settle the matter. I would much rather like to know who voted for The Crucible and who voted against it I think that has more potential for drama
Pretty much any "solution" involving people being killed in order to be reborn is going to be innately "creepy" in some ways.
The Crucible is a way for the depowered individual to feel a sense of agency again, to "own it", own their fate, prove to THEMSELVES this is what they want and need more than anything else.
Now... you can say "should mutants care so much about being mutants" , and that gets into the whole allegory for racism or segregation again. Fair
But it's not as people are saying " a grotesque bloodsport , a carnival of horror, with cults forcing people to participate "
Forget the old ways - Krakoa is god.
