I didn't understand Doug's motivation at all I fail to see how he gains anything from saving Moira.

I recall saying a couple years back that humans were so idiotic that they created the means to their own end all just to spite mutants.
People were convinced that man and machine were the same and working in unison, but everyone should have known that it wasn't the case the minute we saw the Dominions.

The Krakoans are EEEvil!
THEY MUST BE STOPPED!
He gains nothing by letting Moira and Destiny do as they please. He doesnt trust them. You have to remember that he spent most of his time with the X-men looking at Moira as a motherly figure. She was a mentor of sorts when he was younger and the Brotherhood were villians. He may have learned the truth about Moira but that doesnt mean his feelings towards her has necesarily changed
moria's only "lie" was that she thinks erik/charles' dream might fail, but she wasn't actively working against it. she let them play it out. because why wouldn't she, she has all the time in the world. the fact that krakoa even exsits is because destiny/mystique warned her not to go for the cure again and to try other methods, which is exactly what she's doing
if anything it just proves how short-sighted emma is, because she could've brought the 4 of them together and had destiny/mystique truly experience moira's lives and look at the big picture from her pov.
I would love to see a sequel where Mystique actually burns Krakoa ass and stomps the collective mutandoms ass into ground and burn the sitty concept completely.
I believe this was a pretty good issue, personally speaking, but clearly the overarching goal here was not to actually end the current status quo. That's why I can understand the feeling of anticlimax some have mentioned, yet for me that was to be expected.
It was more of a way to create new roles for certain characters and shift the gears towards future developments that are gonna be more open-ended, because the narrative will continue, rather than providing closure. We're still in the Krakoa status quo even without Hickman, so there wasn't going to be a huge climatic resolution where all of that would suddenly come to an end.

You did. I just stated the obvious, you discovered the truth.
Though if we really want to get conspiratorial and completely off the rails: Moira had much more knowledge and experience than everyone around her, but the "children," as she called them, ousted her and went with their own version of her vision. A vision that sticks to a status quo and promises to be better, but will likely fall into the same old trappings Moira previously lambasted. Her own trusted allies betrayed her and brought in all the wrong people, but she couldn't come out publicly and say it. Moira's fate is left uncertain, drifting but hopefully able to find something to do in a world where she no longer has the power and say she once had.
This can't hurt me. Hellion's status quo for the past few years was getting his ass kicked by people on a regular basis, and he didn't even have power dampeners to justify his sudden weakness.
Well now we get…four, four months of wolverine now? I’m thinking it’s time to head in for winter hibernation for my own sake before I start trying occult rituals to finally kill the Canadian.
I will say that this issue got me hyped about Immortal X-Men as the successor to this story. In a way it makes sense to spotlight the QC now that everyone has equal information about what’s going down.
I’m VERY surprised this didn’t set up X Lives/ X Deaths at all though.
