This has been the direction Namor's been heading since 2008 writers have just been dragging their feet getting here. Compared to how he's been written over the last 6 years or so not a big deal or big change. Compared to how he was written 10 years ago or more this is a pretty substantial change. But than again you could say that about a few other Marvel characters in the last 6 to 8 years. Still don't really care for this premiss, but just curious how Hickman's going to resolve this.
