Cable #10 - Spoiler/Review Thread - "Youth is wasted on the Young"

[Rang10]

Cyclops wants his son to grow up and live in paradise hanging out with his family rather than as a general in a dystopian wasteland. How selfish.

Gonna screw up the timeline and kill the old Cable. Very selfish

Its not gonna screw up the timeline and old Cable is already dead

If Cable does not go back to the future, then he does not become OG Cable. OG Cable does not protect Hope, amongst countless other events he was pivotal in.

This was the whole premise of needing to send the O5 to the past.

With all the confusing time bullshit who knows how the timeline is meant to be.

[Jackraow21]

At this point the argument, much like Cable’s life, is circular. I don’t even care how the Kid Cable saga ends at this point. As long as it ends and the grown up version comes back.

With regards to Cable, they told quite a few stories about his younger years in the future.

No it actually wasnt. The O5 staying in present day did not screw up the timeline or do anything to 616. Teen Bobby died and that eventually led to a dark future but it did not erase anything from the past that Adult Bobby had done. We dont even know how Teen Bobby dying contributed to anything that was shown in Extermination

If Teen Cable stays, we may or may not get a dark future but 616 wouldnt implode on itself. A new divergent timeline is more likely but that may be moot anyway depending on what happens with Moira

[gonnagiveittoya]

Actually, I never considered it but doesn't Moria's concern about precogs also make sense to extend to time travelers?

No bc we dont know why Moira is so scared of precogs outside of Destiny.

Not necessarily. Characters from the future aren't specifically from the future of the time they return to, as ridiculous as that sounds. Therefore, anything they know about the future isn't from like, our future, if that makes any sense at all.

I assumed that it was because since precogs see the future they'd be able to figure out that Moira is a mutant, which needs to be a secret

This was covered in quite a few stories, including the X-Men Blue Cross Time Capers arc. Even Extermination made it clear the X-Men had to go back exactly as they were, to the exact moment, with no memories. And we don't know what affect Iceman dying would have had, because he did not die.

So what? Why does that need to be kept secret? It doesnt really make sense. The only rational thing I can think of is that Moira isnt as altruistic as we are led to believe and she doesnt want anyone to know what she is really planning which is probably really messed up

[cranger]

Yeah, it feels like it is a blanket ban just to keep Destiny dead.

Also, typically someone traveling to or from the future is traveling to one of countless other timeliness, although I am not sure Moira would have that same understanding that we have.

Yeah, that is pretty much what I was trying to say.
