It sounds like all subtlety around Beast’s shadiness has been abandoned. Unless there’s something else at play, this is pure character assassination.

This is like reliving what they did with Bishop in Cable's 2008 series.
... Okay, maybe not quite that bad. But dang, it's close.
Sexually transmitted evil brain parasite. Brand to Beast. She's half alien who knows what she could pick up.
Moira too, got lonely in that no space.
I didn't read this issue (but now I want to) but is there a possibility that could have been Dark Beast doing this?
That Percy has an explanation and a plan with Beast has been stated many times.
It's actually a compliment to him that most readers react with horror to what they're reading.
I think we can complain when he concludes his story. Let's hope it's satisfying. It wasn't for Moira, tbh.
She is def a young adult. Like at least 18, maybe 19.
Most comics artists would give "sexy model body" to any character from the age of 12 anyways.
That was Planet X-levels of stupidity (i.e., even worse than Bishop 15 years ago). What are editors paid for these days, anyway?
Nah imma defend Tini for once because I can point to several plot threads and “chapters” of her Captain Britain saga that have been wrapped up. Was the execution always great? No. But I think it’s two entirely different cases. If there are three main plot threads in the Percy run it’s the corruption of Hank McCoy, the Russia plots and sleeper agent, and Xeno as a growing threat. Those story threads have all been all loop since the first arc. Tini’s run has gone through several shifts from the Apocalypse era, to exploring the new realms of Otherworld, to losing the Star Capital and taking on a quest to save mutants.
It might be interesting to see if/how Dark Beast brought himself back. Last time we saw him Illyana decapitated him, yeah?
