I didn’t like Hickman’s Avengers or Secret Wars. The ending to me was crud. Hickman’s FF, before Secret Wars, was good, though. If Hickman were hitting in MLB, he’d be a massive slugger with that .500 average. That’s why I’m not throwing in the towel on HiXmen, well that and HiXmen IS entertaining.
The more I think about this, the more it REALLY makes sense and kinda works. You just have to let go of the bourgie worldview a bit and see the X-Men as the god-like entities they are.
(Sorry — didn’t mean to quote myself, fat-fingered the edit button and started another post.)

Ha! Thanks for the compliment! And yeah, that’s pretty much how i view it. The whole idea of krakoa is about mutants having a safe space to evolve without the fear of persecution so yeah i feel things like this are bound to happen in some form or fashion. I think some of it is left ambiguous for us to be able to make our own interpretations as well. I do strongly feel it is more than just a sexual fetish and it is just 3 adults having this bond that is strictly unique to their experience.

It's funny, because I'm fully aware of and accepting of the flaws of Morrison's run. You could name one and I'd probably agree it's bad, but I still like New X-Men.
I don't know, I am of the strong belief that X-Men, being written by the guy himself, should have been the most interesting book and it hasn't been.
Does it need doing?
Yes.
Then it will be done.
I see what you're saying, I've heard this argument, but I just don't think it's a good thing. These characters shouldn't be leaving their humanity behind, and there's nothing in their history to support the idea that they would go in this direction anyway. Besides, why use this method to explore that idea?
Does it need doing?
Yes.
