For shame! People blaming Rahne for what she did when under the sway of a powerful and ancient telepath.
Context is king.
X-23's most basic surface level characteristic that any idiot should grasp: Stoicism.
I don't demand that her every minor appearance be a nuance in-depth examination of her character, but is it to much to ask she be written in Archetype?! This is storytelling 101! If you want people to stay invested in a character, you need to, at the bare minimum, write them such a way that they can plausibly be believed to be the same character!
Good issue, I liked that it was still the New Mutants story just set at the Gala and we didn’t have to take a month off. I feel like Farrouk being the killer is too obvious, it just seems kind of lazy. “Look, this bad guy is getting close with some kids, wait he killed one of them oh no!” It’s too easy. I bet there’s more to it.
This issue was very good. I honestly felt super sad with the ending. I'm also thinking Farrouk is not the real bad guy. Seems really missdirect-y. Then again, it could be a missdirect missdirect.
I really want to know how the resurrection protocols will handle Gabby, and what this could potentially mean for Maddie and/or Mystique's revenge depending on what they decide.
Now that Gabby is out of the core team, who will replace her as part of the core team?
My guess is, nothing, Anole, Cosmar and Rainboy will just use what they have been doing the past few issues to bring her back (my money is on in the next 6 issues or less), hence bypassing the whole protocol situation, making this once again another weirdly easy death of an X-men character, with no lasting consequences in the current run.
If the writer wanted this to last, they wouldn't have put in all the dead body and mind transfer tinkering by the other characters into focus.
