“Strength is the lot of but a few privileged men; but austere perseverance, harsh and continuous, may be employed by the smallest of us and rarely fails of its purpose, for its silent power grows irresistibly greater with time.” Goethe
On the former point, I think that has as much to do with an individual's ability to suspend their disbelief as it does a comics creative teams' ability to sell the story. Marvel has really hurt themselves in that regard throughout the years, corporate cape comics have, so they need to rethink their strategy.
I agree on the latter point.
Does it need doing?
Yes.
Then it will be done.

Ugh I know right judging a whole nation of people based on the actions or ideas of a few of it's citizens is like grody to the max
Not here it ain't
Errr this is Magnero on chill mode.
And whyyy is it not the same for human governments? Ya know the ones that allowed giant death robots to operate and "apprehend" Mutants or allow crazy robots like Bastian to seize power, experiment on reg people turning them into smaller but just as deadly robots to deal with the mutant problem... Or the ones that facilitated the Mother Mold, or that were complacent when Mutants were being gassed to death? Y'all reeeeally gonna say that after a that Mutsbts I power or outta power need to chill in their remarks towards these same governments??
True True it just didn't much much sense to me given the context

its an over bloated meander mess that reeks of editorial control. no way this is hickman's vision. im giving duggan 3 issues to show me its worth sticking around for if not i wont even pirate this nonsense.

Marvel and DC comics are no different than the food at McDonalds. It will fill you up but in the end bad for your health. Read more independent publishers. Get away from the corporate homogenous cookie cutter fast food comics.
This is what I will say about the "Krakoa Era" of the X-Men: it is an intriguing and compelling take on the X-universe. I do appreciate the creativity and world-building that has taken place.
I personally believe that the X-Men stand for more than just protecting and caring for mutants. I fell in love with them because they fought for everyone. I don't think that altruistic mission statement can ever be surpassed.
I think Krakoa is a great creation and should continue to be a sovereign nation and I hope future writers will continue to build/add to it... I just don't think the X-Men should be based there or leading it. I think their calling is beyond Krakoa.
I hope that when all is said and done with this era, the X-Men will occupy a greater space in the Marvel Universe where they are synonymous within the public's eye as the Avengers, the FF, etc... I hope they even have team members that aren't mutants because they've truly become a team that reflects higher ideals.
I appreciate Hickman is crafting and telling a story that hasn't been told on this scale. I can't wait to collect it in it's entirety.

I guess it's the same like the entire human populace being tarred and feathered with the same "evil label" brush. The Friends of Humanity, The Right, The Purifiers, Orchis, various Governments, ect.. They do something harmful to mutants and suddenly it's all of humanity who are evil and bigots and racists, including the poor who probably live in some slum in a third world country and are only concerned with surviving day to day and know next to nothing about mutants. They get lumped in with Orchis, The Purifiers and the rest. It goes both ways, if you want to say the all humans are culpable for what a handful of them do then the same will be said about mutants; they are culpable for what some among them preach and believe. Tit for tat.
Hickman is having total freedom. I think this i swhat you get when you pay him as a showrunner, he just write very little and still get a good pay.
I reember when he said that he would rotate to wrie others books on the line for 6 issues lik he did on new Mutants and he ended never doing that
Wolverine has said it multiple times. His opinion is everyone has opportunities to be good or bad and being human or mutant doesn’t automatically make you good or bad, it’s how you act. He was ready to fight Apocalypse when he set foot on Krakoa but Xavier made Poccy his homie.
More likely than not if X-Men operate outside Krakoa and embrace a neutral stance between humanity and mutants.It will put them at odds with their own kind and a Krakoan schism will most likely lead to its collapse.If not, then we'll go back to the X-Men living among humanity and Krakoa(like the morlocks)isolating themselves and having brotherhood type animus.In a way nothing is new under the sun that is why Moira life 11 is the failsafe.
