I wish the Krakoa status quo remained for a long time. It has so much potential for interesting stories. But I'm afraid that's not usual in comics...
Does anyone actually want Krakoa gone?
I mean, leaving it around and showing that Marvel can break from the status quo/being overly reliant on matching year 202_ and succeed could be an inspiration for the rest of the books to follow suit
I mean I don't think making the X-Men elite ubermensch really would work long term, the same way I don't think replacing Peter with Ock or making Steve Rogers secretly Hydra permanent would be interesting as a permanent thing either
I could so without the resurrections and the the fake pleasantries. Give me some real stakes and some internal drama, there are too many agendas on that island to be sitting there doing nothing with.
edit: And I should say I mean this in the hopes that the Trial book, whatever it is, leads into that kind of stuff. Let's say Wanda is involved, let's see how Magneto and Polaris really feel, and what wedges are driven in the community.
Yeah the resurrection protocols only really work as a way to put old characters back on the table, but as a storytelling thing it kind of takes even the slightest bit of drama out of comic book deaths, and that's saying something since the stakes were already low to begin with.
Killing off characters in order to give the illusion of progress and incisive storytelling never turned lame stories into good ones, I’m very happy the x-books are no longer lending this narrative crutch to writers looking to leave a mark by upping the death count
Ommadon: “By summoning all the dark powers I will infest the spirit of man So that he uses his science and logic to destroy himself. Greed and avarice shall prevail, and those who do not hear my words shall pay the price. I'll teach man to use his machines, I'll show him what distorted science can give birth to. I'll teach him to fly like a fairy, and I'll give him the ultimate answer to all his science can ask. And the world will be free for my magic again.”
I certainly don't want it gone. What are people pining for? Another mansion in Westchester to get blown up every six months? A return to Central Park or Limbo? This Krakoa stuff is the most interesting the X books have been in a long while in my opinion. It really is the first serious take on a mutant nation that has been attempted in the mythology. Genosha and Utopia were paltry attempts at nationhood in comparison.

Different for the sake of being different isn't what readers want on the long game. just a temporary shake up is enough
yeah they die a the time just because they can be brought back.
Death is meaningless, but now death doesnt need to be this level meaningless. Make mutants all look like rookies
