    Default Should X-office revisit the Morrison's "Village of the Damned" Reference?

    I find it fascinating. Supposedly, the cuckoos are weapon x product of 5 girls with a single mind. In "Village of the Dammned". they also have 5 boys as well, to pair with each girl. The 5 boys also have their own hive minds. They could intro the boys, then revealed there were 1000 boys as well. But, M-day leave only 20 boys intact with power. Since Esme and Sophie are not really the original clone, the 2 boys could not bond with them psychically and retreat to the others to be 17-in-one. The other 3 boys bonded with the other cuckoos and empathized with the X-men. The 17-in-One want to overtake Krakoa mechanism to revive their lost brothers, set up conflicts of X-men vs the boys, and the Boy 3-in1 vs Boy 17-in-1. Maybe, in the end, Emma felt protective toward her sons and let them go to Mars, where the boys set up their own country and constantly fight the Arakko.

    Such fun idea, don't you think? The 5 boys could have the first letter of each of the boy's name to spell out the word "NSYNC"

    The book the film is based on, The Midwich Cuckoos, is excellent.

    The OPs premise is good but has too much math involved

    Huh... I always thought that was a reference to the Coo-coo's who originally presented themselves that way like the film in the title in this thread when they were more mysterious despite their name being a reference to The Stepford Wives as opposed the The Village of the Damned.
    Not this Midwich thing.

    Midwich Cuckoo's hence they got their name from both.
    More importantly without this 'Midwich thing' I daresay we likely wouldn't have The Stepford Wives and most certainly wouldn't have The Village of the Damned meaning not 5 nor 3 not even 1 Stepford Cuckoo
