I love Doug and his poly-cross-species-robosexual-love-rectangle. His hopefulness and ideology and rule-following is something I identify with so hard. He’s not the hero we asked for and he’s more than we deserve. Also, now I am hot for him too. I totally see it Bei, Krakoa, and Warlock.
Sometimes I talk back to my comics. Today I said: ‘well that was stupid,’ right after the robuts killed their human allies. I know this double cross was supposed to be like gasp-inducing but it was just SO STUPID. The mutants have 3 laws, one is to not kill humans. You dumbasses, use them as human shields! Kill them AFTER you’ve defeated Magneto and Xavier. Omg, you could’ve claimed Mags and X massacred a bunch of humans. It was 200 against 2! You robuts the future supposedly, but you have zero foresight. Gah.
Now the mutants and humans are going to unite against the robuts. Soooooo so stuuupid of them!
I’m also still not fully buying the bitter blood feud between Moira/Mystique and Destiny. Or I’m just not understanding what’s going on. The recap was helpful this time because it took me several readings last issue to understand what happened at the end. Reading other published reviews made me feel less alone, because three different reviewers thought three different things had happened.
The whole issue felt like 1 step forward, five steps back. I was so excited last issue bc Doug seemed to be the only one who had suss eyes about the situation. More mutants need to be questioning things. The fact no one else is saying: “hey, wait a minute here…” makes the overall premise of Krakoa disappointing and unbelievable to me.
