X-Force #10 Recap and Review, Here be Spoilers

[Veitha]

Where is that laughing out loud emoji?
(Thanks for the genuine smile I got when I read your post by the way)

For some reason all X-Men are fine with a show where Apoc is killing mutants.

what's killing what's dying

Next step for poly is a show where Apoc is having sex with all mutants.

I'll buy 10 copies of that.

[Will Evans]

So would I.

[franckd]

They kisse dnad that is it.

So why are you saying it's OCC? They kissed a few times before (CC, Morrison, Casey,..)

[Glio]

Why do you have to try to protect Jean as if she were a virgin teenager and not an adult woman who fucks who she wants?

I can't speak for those fans. But maybe the Marvel Girl codename and the Mini Skirt from the 60's are misleading them :-)

I see someone is still in denial

[People Of The Earth]

- The away team is in the temple at Terra Verde, Dom and Logan are talking about her missing memories. They are quickly separated by the telefloronic plant people.
- First data page where Beast admits he messed up, but then is like "this is a good thing, actually".
- Black Tom takes a gate to Terra Verde to help the away team. He and Krakoa have an unhealthy relationship.
- Jean confronts Beast.
- Second data page that's just more of Jean putting Beast in his place. There is a word in what appears to be cyrillic at the bottom, Does anybody have a translation?
- Jean and Sage join Black Tom in TV.
- Quentin is dead, Dom is either dead or dying, and Wolverine is about to die.
- Jean links Sage and Tom and using their powers collectively manages to destroy all the telefloronics. In the final page with Wolvie in the temple it's unclear to me whether the human bodies are dead or merely no longer possessed.
- Back at Krakoa, Jean quits X-Force and she and Logan have a cute little tasteful hookup in a hot spring.
- Next issue: Code Red

The issue was good, the art was beautiful as usual. Beast continues to be the worst. Although I'm sure there are many people who enjoy it, Percy needs to find something for Quentin to do besides be the red shirt who dies every mission. I usually like the data pages, but the second one in this issue felt like it could have just been a drawn page. The polycule was pretty much confirmed, that's cool. Bummed that Jean quit and is being replaced by *yawn* Colossus.

So, this is what peaceful coexistence looks now to Krakoa: war crimes and genocide for the greater good of the country...

How progressive.

3/5.

Solid issue.
The moral bankruptcy of the X-Men is well engaged now.
Krakoa needs to disband that specific team of X-Force and trial its leaders and the ones supervising them if it wants to even pretend at a form of justice and morality here.
See how well mutant justice works there...
Go to the UN and compensate in full the Verdeans for the killing of their people, the sabotaging of their technologies, the destruction of their country and the ruination of their future.
Telefloronic was their ticket out of poverty, remember?

Can Krakoa do that, clean up the miserable mess made by their people?
And some posters around here say they have the moral superiority over the sapiens, when they are pulling the exact same bs once left the opportunity.

Greed.
Arrogance.
Fear.

Mutants are humans, able to do the best and the worst things possible. In case people needed a reminder.

So...is there going to be the exact same "jogan" conversations here as in the Jean Grey thread? Just asking so I'd know to avoid this thread for the next day or two.
And...if so, might I suggest cut and paste from that other thread...it will save a lot of time and angst.

With respect to the issue in hand...

Beast ish aside I was hoping for some major badassery from Black Tom...not that what occurred in-story wasn't satisfying it was, very, but in my head after reading XF 09...it played out differently.

Still waiting for Western nations to do this for nations of the Middle East... in real life.

#9 ended like Black Tom was gonna do something lone bad-ass this issue but meh.
First half was a slow burn with Cassara art but things picked up when Domino got caught and Jean exposed Beast's bullshit. I feel some earlier stuff could've been curtailed to expand on what Beast did or Jean's feat but we got a competent issue in the end.

7.5/10 - didn't waste the data page on a ****ing Glob recipe.

I agree. I hope not. It's so lame to reduce that book to its 2 last pages. Let the shipper plot in the other thread.

majority of times it was sexual assault.

it reads a lot how USA do dirty to latin America countries. Krakoa isn't any superior to the humans

Exactatiously.
I enjoyed it for the moments it gave but...I was expecting much more from Black Tom.

That's the funniest thing about the "Krakoa is morally bankrupt" argument. Like, yeah, no ****...it's a nation + its government.

Or Africa. Or India. Or South and Central America. Oh, and let's add the native populations in Australia and the US while we're at it.

But that's the point; it isn't superior, but it isn't inferior either, it's doing what any other nation ever did.
