    The more i look book the more i love how metal it was.

    This might be the best issue Hickman has written IMO
    Captain, in Order to build a better world, sometimes means tearing the old one down... And that makes enemies.

    Jumbo died after Genosha so if they are using a chronological order it would not be so complicated but yes, it is implied that Emma pushed for him to resurrect as soon as possible.

    Obviously the system is not perfect, just like Magneto and Xavier manipulate it with the precog mutants.

    Everything is really a matter of "Who deserves to be resurrected first." It would not be fair for Genosha dead mutants that their resurrection be delayed by "whims." Krakoa can't reward suicides like that.

    Eventually, when there are no millions of dead mutants, other criteria may be used. Right now the Five are a resource whose use is limited because they have a lot of work ahead.
    Makes a lot of sense. Also the idea of if a person has become used to be "human" since being de-powered. They can easily choose that life but if they truly want to be a mutant again, it has to be shown.

    This is also a nice blanket explanation for some characters being and staying MIA. For example if we don't ever see Wind Dancer again, it's easy to conclude that she didn't want to participate in the crucible.

    I think fashion goes hand in hand with diplomacy. It makes a big impression if two leaders are on a stage and one is in a crisp, perfectly fittest suit and the other looks like they didn't have time to iron.

    Yep, and I'm not meaning it as a criticism, just more world-building and story possibilities.

    the thing is these depowered mutants, some of them may not even be in a proper state of mind or dont event want their abilities, its a much more complicated issue but also a massive victory over the decimation, a duel to the death to uplift that choice is a bit too much (metal as fuck thooo) but It does at least create a process for them

    I dont know why but those kids calling Wanda "The Pretender" is literally the funniest thing ever, like I can only imagine how they gonna act once they eventually come into contact with her. HoM really ruined the way mutants see her and its so sad/ funny

    I remember how Chamber looked after Decimation initially. Be a hell of a duel that one... bloke with no jaw, unconscious in a box fighting old Poccy...

    Wonder how it works for mutants who it afffected physically/mentally etc....

    Like, I can understand the position of the Council. "You are a perfectly sane human. And you want us to put you in the queue ahead of dead people? You can already show us that it's worth it for Krakoa."

    The method to do the test is, however, obviously savage for us but I can understand how they reached that reasoning.

    @jbenito

    Don't say that

    Wind Dancer is a passionate Wind goddess.

    My feisty Venezuelan would definitely want her powers back.

    I forgot to quote the person so this doesn't make sens out of context.

    CBR she really allow us to delete posts.

    It's because her being a boogeyman is funny. They probably have Wanda creepypastas and rumors that if she you say her name three times she shows up

    When I saw the teaser Marvel posted this morning I actually thought the girl with the blade could have been Wind Dancer. But she.was.not.
