As these things go...I'm sure some "intellectuals" will ascribe some deeper, critical meanings to this story either in part or as a whole...regardless of the writers' true and actual intent...just because.

I'm going to not take that as shade. I will, however, say that how things actually appear on the printed page can be completely different from how the creators intended them at the writing stage. For example... I'm sure Marc Guggenheim thought he was writing Kitty sympathetically in X-Men Gold.

I think it's how they're portrayed that makes the difference. If they're all just RARGH SLASH KILL, then they'll suck as villains. If they're more well rounded with individual personalities, great. There are 22 parts to this, plenty of time to explore the Arakkoan mindset and that of their champions. Show me who these people are and what's at stake for them as opposed to the usual Angry Black Wo/Man trope.

His arc has been one of genuine change and instrospection of the way he sees mutant kind and himself that even moira aknowledges it , and also giving him a greater level of humanity and vulnerability, his regret and joy when he meets his children once more, wich makes every part of his character deeper and gives us insight and greater meaning to his story.
Every quartet of horsemen, an attempt to replace his children, making earth a living hell because that's what his family were going trough.
Only because its the same writer and "roles" doesn't make it the same, apocalypse story has been one of community and the power it brings and reconecting with arrako, wich is missing piece of krakoa.
