X-Men #7 SPOILERS

A better question is, how are they not a cult now?

As per the latest Ff/X issue Krakoa seems to have more members then Jediasm so they'd classify as a religion

[Zelena]

The definition of cult is varied so it depends on what one considers a cult. In most cases I'm familiar with, a cult is a system of devotion directed toward "a particular figure or object".

And yet, anything seen as "different" or "odd" is often considered a cult. So people that only eat fast food would be a cult to me.

You don't die for your fast food, though… Not quickly anyway…

Then with this in mind, the mutants are a cult to mutantdom. But also, I consider a cult to be a smaller, less stablized religion that forced conformity and obedience unto their followers in a way a true religion can't due to its size. But most importantly, a cult makes it hard for someone to leave.

All that power she had and all she wanted was kids.... You're Reaching...... In the end it all worked out for her she's living her best like while mutants have isolated themselves from the world shivering at the mention of her name so....

hmmmm

cult
/kəlt/


a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object.
"the cult of St. Olaf"

a relatively small group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister.

I guess they do have strange practices now. Religous aspect was possibly introduced in todays issue.

But meh I just think they are trying to survive.



Also regarding what mutants think of Wanda:

I'm indifferent towards Wanda because she always had the attitude that she was better than mutants and had nothing to be sorry about.

So Magik speaks for a lot of mutants.

Still one of my favorite pages.

[Rosebunse]

who remembers this gem?
yeah wanda is an absolute toxic waste of a characthers and it speaks volumes her mcu version is almost nothing alike and is somehow superior in all terms

But is she wrong? Especially when she's constantly blamed for something that could never be considered truly her fault.

And right beforehand we have Wanda crying at Xavier's grave because of all the things she did.

Also, Rick Remender thinks mutants are dangerous and need to be controlled.

[Personamanx]

I very much enjoyed this issue. There's a lot going on in the new X-Line, not all of it I care for but I do appreciate the depth that some of the creators are willing to explore within the new setting. I've largely divorced myself from interviews, and fan speculation so I'm never quite sure what to expect from the X-Men issues my shop pulls for me but I like the idea of Crucible. It resolves a problem that I hadn't even figured existed, and it was an entertaining read. First X-Men comic in years I had to walk around while reading, couldn't sit still.

[zinderel]

Yes, yes they have.

Also, does anyone else just want a panel of someone like Steve Rogers watching a Crucible and just going WTF? Or some magic minded person or cosmic entity explaining to the X-Men how their resurrection method sucks?

I would LOVE to see a straight, [color redacted], Christian, blonde, blue-eyed man comment on the practices of a culture not their own!! I don’t get enough of that in the real world! I mean, I LOVED it when the British looked at native Indian practices and just went WTF! (Before doing their best to wipe those practices out entirely because obviously the British way was superior in every way and just made sense, unlike what those savages believed in!)

familiar with the concept of crocodille tears ? its always adorable how shes all tears until someone brings up her acountability

Thankfully the mutants are free to go as they please as we've seen.

And I don't think he's entirely wrong, especially given how dangerous some mutants are. To deny that is to deny reality and honestly, if you deny that, it makes me wonder what you're selling.

[Ferro]

uh um shes totaly blameless from her own lack of care and judgment
