Judgement Day #5 - Review *spoilers*

[lefthanded]

Well there being a backlog of Mutants isn't a "can't" issue because we already know they can move the Main Character Mutants to the front of the line whenever they feel like it

I mean, it still is a can't.

Let's say Krakoa can only produce 10 resurrections/day, and there are 1 Million Mutants waiting. If the main X-men team die, now you have 1 Million and 6 Mutants waiting.
Regardless of the main character mutants being prioritized, it still is only 10 Mutants/day and still have a backlog of 9,999,994 mutants in queue.

If you add on humans and you are still capped at 10 resurrections/day, that is enough of a reason for can't, as there are now 1 million mutants + whatever number of humans in queue.

That's exactly the argument Cyclops makes in #1. The resource is limited and besides humans are still killing mutants every day. The number of mutants in the queue is not going down as fast as it should because they are still feared, hated and killed.

I’d still argue the limitations are arbitrary and rarely ever factor into the stories of will a mutant come back, but whatever. Marvel has decided on what kind of stories it will allow it’s writers to tell about the protocols and which they will not. Had to make my peace with that. They don’t want to do hard sci-fi. Probably because they don’t want people looking too closely at their idea of genetics

[Omega Alpha]

The limitations aren't arbitrary, they're inevitable because of the method they use

I think there’s a disconnect here. The method they choose is arbitrary. I’m pointing out they specifically chose this as a method of resurrection to specifically have those limits in place, but that they are ultimately arbitrary in a way where that while it affects the plot occasionally, it does not affect the characters. No one who is a major or secondary character in these books who dies has to worry about that limit because they are guranteed to move to the front of the line. None of them are going to have to worry about being stuck in line for years. The closest the books got to address this in terms of a character and not a plot for the faceless, was Sabretooth where I think some people talked about the privileged nature of those who were guranteed to go to the front of the queue. But no major character is going to face it.

Not that the fandom could stand if. Cylcops has to wait an issue or two in Judgment Day, because of Cap, nvm he’s definitely back for the next issue of X-men, and some people go nuts.

Yup. It's not like this is the first time a nation has "lied" to protect state secrets. And they still need back-ups of people which they currently don't have capacity for. And they don't have people's permission.

Truly, how many of the mutant-hating humans would line up to give over their DNA and sign a consent form allowing mutants to scan them regularly?

That's actually a very good point you raise at the end, and how it should be addressed. "You want immortality? Here are the terms and conditions . . ."

Sibling is smoking the Krakoan logic herb and speaking truths.

When Katrina finally took action, I thought of you and said "too little, too late." LOL!

Great to see the world coming together and the implications of what may happen with the resurrection protocols are intriguing. I'm fine with Cap getting rezzed and the hopefully naked covered in goop status to come.

Goop goop? Or goop the mutant?

Love you. See you at the Lagoon.

Goop goop? Or goop the mutant?

Yes.

[ARkadelphia]

"Every person that hatches is now a mutant" would be the ultimate trolling for racist humans. Choose: inmortality or bigotry

Isn’t that what ice man’s dad did?

[ARkadelphia]

Captain America is a disgusting character.

The Progenitor agrees
The Progenitor is wrong
And so are you

[ARkadelphia]

Him and Tony Stark, whose “MCU-ification” has truly made him the most annoying character in comics today. The smarmy, snarky archetype is so overdone. Makes me long for the grimdark 90s when I actually liked most characters and didn’t wish I could punch so many of them in the face. And writers just have to stop with the Steve Rogers wankfest. “I know what we need to save the day… some sanctimonious poon draped in the American flag. That’ll do it!” GTFOH. :eyeroll:

Dude, you have a picture of Wolverine as your avatar

[ARkadelphia]

he's not the sole main character, but he's as much of one as tony, jean and wolverine are.

Not seeing the problem there

[ARkadelphia]

Exactly how I felt. It was such an eye roll moment IMO. There’s been too much Avengers jock riding in this event for my taste. Also highly misleading in terms of pointing to mutant-on-Eternal fights when it was actually just mutants versus giant kaijus (which was boring as hell IMO), and then they team up to fight the very god they created. *facepalm*

I wanted more Wolverine versus Jack of Knives or Kingo, Cable versus Gilgamesh or Phastos, Psylocke versus Thena, etc. Basically more “versus” action… but I’m a simple man I suppose, in terms of what I enjoy in these books. Give me some Jim Lee drawn splash pages like the ones X-Tinction Agenda was full of back in the day, and I am quite content.

Ah. So you’re a fan of hero on hero events. Not my thing, but okay.

[ARkadelphia]

This was boring. I do wonder if I would enjoy this event more if I cared at all about the Eternals or Avengers.

Boring? To each their own I guess. I usually prefer smaller character piece stories myself, but as far as all out action issues go, I see this one as one of the best I’ve ever read. I can see how others wouldn’t like it, but boring is something I’m having trouble grasping.
