Love is for souls, not bodies.
The 5 doesn’t need the council to resurrect anyone. Mystique, posing as Xavier taught Hope how to download cerebro backups.
And Hope has never been submissive towards authority, and has always been able to get the young to follow her.
Obviously, we will know everything next week and next month.
You just don’t like to accept obvious things. Arguing against stuff that has already been written changes absolutely nothing.
Of course it’s okay not to like something but to lie just because you don’t like something in a comic is just plain silly.
Because of it was just trauma, following the context of issue 3, it would still need to show where the trauma made her soul go. Bring thst she lost a part of herself as soon as she was resurrected via the process the 5 uses, that’s where her missing pieces went.
I don't understand the resurrection process very well and I wish they'd explained it in the first issue for people who aren't regular readers of the X-line, but it does seem like this is all shaping up to some kind of merged Wanda.
There's nothing obvious about this event. And everyone harping that it's gonna undo the retcon are doing what exactly?
Like everyone discussing this has theories and expectations. No one knows how it ends. So step off.
I know how astral projection has worked before and her form being robbed from by some stupid clone isn't something they've put in canon before. And they don't say why she doesn't remember. You hope they resurrected her as a mutant and Mags' kid. At least say that. And not that I don't like to accept obvious things. Because I am not the person going around expecting that to happen despite them having retconned that way and not back even though they've had the rights for years now, and brought back the F4 immediately. And I don't expect them to invest in the "family" when they hardly did for 30 years. So don't tell me I don't like to accept obvious things.

Trial of Magneto #1 was/is strong. It had solid use of the X-Factor investigators with amusing interplay & conflict with the primary X-team and Magneto himself, which I enjoyed it very much.
Trial of Magneto #2 & #3, in my humble opinion, suffered from insertion of additional (and either unnecessary or too obvious) "high octane combat RARRR!!!" These two issues felt very "orders from on high" to me. Like many a comic book event or mini series, the need for violence-as-entertainment regularly insults the characters involved which tips reader enjoyment into the negative column. We love these characters and most of us would prefer they not turn lean immediately into irrational fisticuffs at the first sign of conflict. Some of it worked (Pietro's motivation to fight Magneto) and some of it didn't (Magneto fighting everyone?). Some key characters suddenly showed up (Wiccan) without warning or proper introduction and some key characters suddenly disappeared (Pietro). This kind of error begs questions on where and who dropped the ball. Additionally, I feel very strongly that the fill-in-artist's style (another indication of the rush-job-treatment this series suffers from) juxtaposed with the primary artist's style only exacerbates the disjointed feeling many readers are feeling.
Overall, this mini could have been stronger, but it is unreasonable to place blame on a single person. Any given comic book, single issue or mini-series, is the sum of it's parts, and the creatives involved are never looking to produce a product they are not proud to attach their name to. That's just silly. I hope some of the lingering questions get answered before the book concludes, and that perhaps a linear read of the trade will prove more satisfying. The concept of addressing "The Wanda Of It All" has been on many readers' minds and its a difficult undertaking to tackle a subject that so many people are clearly passionate about. Not everyone will be satisfied.

Nailed it. They are in a corner now because of editorial blunders.
They very hastily re-purposed Leah's X-Factor story when they realised they had made a key bumble in not making anything to coincide with WandaVision. ToM looks like a cobbled together mess because that's what it is.
This is where the set up can make a massive difference. Imagine the teams going to talk to Magneto and then someone (who like Quicksilver as you said makes sense to try to knock Magneto out no questions asked) decides to attack. Mags lashes out against a large number of X-Men believing a trap and a big fight starts.
Not going that route lessened a number of relationships involved in the story question perhaps none more than Lorna and Magneto. The story was clearly coming from the side of Magneto is a once villain so any evidence no matter how small that he might have done it is grounds for the heroes to treat him like a villain. There are characters who would think that way clearly and would act that way, but not all or even most of them at this point.

It's funny to know that Old Lady Wanda is as ugly on the outside as she is on the inside.
My flag is bacon.
