    But they STILL existed. No excuse.

People can make things for death and be used for purposes to build all people or it can be used as they intended it to. Trask can be blamed for creating those things. Yet Cassandra reprogrammed them to destroy Genosha. It was even shown that one Sentinel who did it felt remorse and tried to right it’s wrong’s by saving the earth. So blame the person who pulled the switch if your going to also blame the engineer.
    huh yeah you could say that almost anything but that's not the narrative here. Yes humanity's tools and discoveries can be repurposed as a good or bad thing. But the Sentinels are akin to a burning cross and for the most part humanity's cool with it....

    Cassandra didn't reprogram it the Sentinels to do anything till after Genosha...all she had to do was convince the Trask cousin to do it

    she wasn't a person. And the Trask dude did 98% of the work. Sentinels are a giant noose around the necks of Mutants is it any wonder when they start choking

    I remember that, eventually, the telepaths messed with Cassandra’s head by trying to give her a conscience. So she/it wasn’t held accountable because that, without a conscience, he/it couldn’t behave differently.

    But, the same thing could said for Wanda: at the end of her rope, in a emotionally turmoil, could she behave differently from the way she did?
    “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

    also another point....and so what? Genosha had little to do with The Pretenders attempt at Genocide. Are her fans reeeeally that upset another mass Mutant murderer doesn't get a nickname? If so This isn't the thread to discuss it...but seems like a strawman

    oh im not saying she needs a nickname just that its noticeable that Xaviers sister doesn't get her real name used. in that data page they do list genosha as the biggest tragedy to affect mutant kind and i think thats her only mention in the era so far. with all the mutants that died there being brought and the empyre tie in set in genosha with the zombies, you'd think her name might appear at least once. not saying they shouldn't mention wanda, just weird cassandra gets off.

    Yeah your right I looked back at it and he did send them, so it was Trask and Cassandra who both deserve the blame for Genosha. So it should be two people blamed for Genosha and made to look like devils for genocidal intentions.

    Why are we leaving out the fact that Cassandra spent the entire previous issue lying to, traumatizing, and manipulating Trask?

    Imagine hating Wanda so much that you wind up defending Cassandra Nova.

    There's a reason for it and it's antagonization of Wanda fans. That's all it is.

    Be tolerant toward them. Without the "complex" they need another thread to channel their aggressiveness.

    Cool. Noted. Not sure if there's anything else that can be said about this... If this was a thread concerning any of those people...or that country It woulda had more relevance

    Defending against what exactly?

    But honestly it'd make more sense debating a Nova fan
