I don’t know. I’m feeling my patience is running low with the current status quo. It has to change a lot - and in a certain direction - to keep me interested.
Yeah. But I think they’ll only keep using excuses to sell this Krakoan attitude as positive. It’s already started. Check Magneto’s comment of humanity being petulant.
The thing is: in these books we never see the moderate humans' views. We only see the Krakoans, the corrupt humans and the bigoted ones.
Come on… there are almost 8 billion humans on Earth.
I think Nemesis is more jealous than freaking out. And I don’t think he matters outside Way of X book.
But Pluto was a scientific re-classification because better instruments allowed us to detect more objects of similar size. So they came up with another definition for a planet and since Pluto doesn’t fill all the requirements, it was re-classified as a dwarf-planet. And it wasn’t even renamed.
Whatever other instances fictional of real that happened before, doesn’t change that what they did was, at least, provocative. At least, because it was actually much more than that. Changing the name of the planet was the least important part and it was already provocative enough.
I meant genocide of the humans, not the mutants. Just checking here: you got that, right?
It feels like Moira is forcing humanity to unify against the mutants before they reach a certain technological level so they can actually be wiped out and the mutants can finally win.
Unless the plan is to actually make the war start earlier…
I actually want Kurt’s Way to be a failure. I don’t want this society to be successful. That doesn’t mean I want mutants to be exterminated either. But for the next step in the evolution of the species, they’re being very retrograde when it comes to tolerance. How is the island of Krakoan any different than a building that doesn’t allow inhabitants of a certain ethnicity? Some humans have been allowed to live in Krakoa, but could any human apply for citizenship or asylum? When you think about X-Men and FF, I wouldn’t say they can't.
Do I want to see Scott telling Sue - back when Franklin was a thought as a mutant - that her son's life had more value and her daughter's? Hell no. I do hope it was the Krakoan spores he had snorted that made him think and say that.
So, this is one of my problems with X-Men: Red. They never really explain what would be the mutant nation. But, for what I understood, it would be the a nation without a territory. Jean only wanted the mutants to have their own representation. She didn’t want them to live apart society or crate their own.
Scott knew - probably because Jean was involved - that they were going to do something big. But, unless he was lying to Steve, I don’t think he knew much beyond that.
As for what Jean knew… Well, she knew about the terraforming effort and she know it had to do with giving Arakko mutants a new home. But more than that? We just can’t tell at this moment.
Yeah, but that’s the thing. Duggan said he re-wrote the Planet Size issue a couple of times. He could have easily edited what Magneto said about David, but not easily edited the art that showed Kurt raising his hand.
By the time he started writing the issue, Way of X wasn’t been written yet. So, maybe that was the problem, you see?
Can you see Genesis being happy about getting lazy in a peaceful place? I can’t. And I saw a giant sculpture of her on Mars already. If that’s not ominous I don’t know what is.
Why do they need space? They had their island already. They didn’t need to have contact with anyone else if they didn’t want to.
You could argue they need even more isolation, I guess. But what’s the difference now? Earth cities are still a portal away if Arakki mutants want to create trouble.
No, it’s not about space or isolation. It’s about temptation. It’s about conquering. Mars will keep them distracted for a while as they expand, but it will not teach them to change their ways.
