Well, they thought it would be a good idea to introduce a teenage version of Cable by having him murder the older one saying he's lame and soft, and then they put him in a book that was designed to appeal to 90's X-force fans. And they're the same kind of people that thought it was a good idea to call Scott the mutant Hitler and kill him off panel saying he did a lot of awful things, but not exactly what.
It's also possible that, since they plan these things very far ahead, they were not aware of the Wi-Fi backlash yet. Or they are just proud to admit they made a mistake and want to force people to admit they're right- which is what happened with Cyclops since Schism and AvX.
I wonder what happened in the last 28 (in universe) years to so radically change the First Horsemen's opinion of Apocalypse.
Remember, in Life 9 Moira and Apocalypse got together and rescued the First Horsemen from Amenth. This would suggest that they also recruited Krakoa and established the External Gate a long time before Xavier would come up with the idea in Life 10.
I tend to think the white-water torrent of ideas flooding out of this new status quo causes people to forget about Moira and what she's already seen. In Life 9 - she - was Mrs Apocalypse, and you'd have to think knew all about the situation of Arrako's mutants. She didn't warn Xavier and Magneto what Krakoa and Apocalypse would have in common?
Of course, it's possible Hickman just forgot all about what he wrote........
Wow, you're absolutely right. She easily spent the most time with Apocalypse of the three men, and was likely privy to a metric ton of information regarding his beliefs, background, etc... That's also the life we know the least about. Hopefully this is intentional on Hickman's part, because this whole Krakoa-has-another-demon-infested-half-it's-keen-merging-with is something Xavier would've loved to know ahead of time.
About the last part: HELL NO.
While we don't have enough information yet, it's possible that Apocalypse actually showing up to rescue them, as well as continuing his Darwinist attitude to an extreme degree might have been enough to not let have them kill him on the spot. While this "soft" Apocalypse that hangs around in Krakoa and didn't rescue them is just unbearable.
They are pushing him cause they can’t have josh brolin play cable in an mcu movie. Kid cable is mcu cable. That’s why he is awful. He is an overthought over designed answer to how to get a young person to play cable in a movie. He was reverse built for that purpose which is he feels forced and artificially dropped into the story.
You really can’t tell what what Moira did in life 9 to win them over? SHE KILLED GENESIS! You know apocalypses wife and mother of the horsemen and clearly the source of the grudge lol. Tini Howard said xos is a love story so it’s gonna be about apocalypse dealing with his wife and in life 9 that doses not happen Moria must want apocalypse to either reconcile with her to get Arakko and amath on her side which she didn’t do in life 9 csuse they were not there
