I mean it's really not. Much like his final run in his Avengers run I'm pretty sure the theme of X-Men will be about hope. And just like in those previous runs there were tragic moments within the story ultimately it was about superheroes triumphing over themselves and over the bad guy to continue to uphold their ideals

Can I just throw this out there? I think there are two twilight swords. Cause the split happened forever ago but surtur still has his sword. So there must be two right? And is the “higher power” that annihilation/genesis serving surtur? Holder of the sword of doom destroyer of worlds. Guy who tried to destroy Otherworld a bunch and gave Morgan le fay her powers. Plus I could be wrong but I think ameth might come from journey into mystery
I’m going to wager exactly no mention will be made of Surtur, or that he obtained/stole the Twilight Sword from the enemy; and that the enemy is probably from the First Iteration of Mutantkind
I would also say that Poccy might be kicked off the council, but I imagine his blue ass will be borrowed, like Thanos, to help promote the Eternals for a bit
If existing Marvel lore was an issue, you’d need to account for how the hell Poccy having Four Horsemen and the use of magic prior to his pact with the Celestials (who just happen to have Seeds matching his kids mantles*) works out
Besides, we already know what/who Hickman’s reset button is (and it ain’t Moira) so setting up a Twilight of X seems premature when there is yet to be a Day/Reign of X (probably to follow Hickman’s contribution to the Reckoning War) before the Twilight/Night of X
* though it explains why he never used the counterseeds at least
