I called that back in issue 7 of X-Men, Exodus will declare Kurts religion too pacifist, he’s already working on the children.

well, for people interested in X-Men comics and its characters?! lol
I think Hickman really lacks in creating characters with a certain tenderness, humanity, and heart. I still miss to understand what are the emotional consequences of Krakoa for most characters living on Krakoa.
Everyone kind of sounds exactly the same: "I'm a big man with so much responsibility. I will change the world with my inflated ego. I'm brilliant, calculated and powerful but I do not have emotions besides my grande penis agenda!"
So I'm looking forward to be reminded why I like Xavier.

Yeah this is a common complaint with Hickman his characters come off a bit too cold and Shakespearian.
He tends to write characters epically meaning they speak as olympian gods without much introspection.
I think in Way of X we will get a lot of it since it is Kurt and he is a lovable devil plus Spurrier is a pretty amazing writer
Going to guess that the whole Krakoa thing will blow up in everybody's faces and then the next few years will be dealing with the aftermath...
Lord Ewing *Praise His name! Uplift Him in song!* Your divine works will be remembered and glorified in worship for all eternity. Amen!
Loa also tends to freak out in fights and to murder people (according to Deadpool)
Bringing back the old, killing the young: that's the Marvel way
Some more from the writer here, he seems very happy to be playing in the Hickman sandbox.

"And there’s something else. For decades the mutants of the Marvel Universe have allowed storytellers to speak to the ugly outcomes of Othering: of race, of class, of gender, of sexuality. I used it myself to explore mental illness, in X-MEN LEGACY. It seemed to go down pretty well, to my great surprise, and I still feel like that's some of the most valuable work I've ever done. I’ve been itching to return to my favourite characters and to change the wavelength of the metaphor...
"That’s WAY OF X. It’s a story about how mutants live. Not just as people, but as a People. It’s mischievous and sarcastic and a looong way from being holy. It’s a book about ethics and culture and growing fungus out of your own brain. It’s a book about rituals and thrills, sexy times and casual death. Above all it’s about Shared Ideas, in all their terrible beauty, and what they can do to the minds, hearts, and souls of the communities adrift on their tides.
Maybe I don’t get his work, but I wasn’t a fan of either his X-force or X-men Legacy (stopped reading after 9) run.
