Yeah it makes sense that Kurt might need to be neutralised for the SOS plot to move forward and that’s one way of doing it without him being controlled by Sinister or part of Storms rebellion. Plus Spurrier for all the bungling I think he does with Kurt’s behaviour, does seem to have a theme of Nightcrawler’s alternative problem solving methods of compassion and understanding over brute force being positive and beneficial for the nation. So removing the founder of the ‘spark’ and twisting the idea for Sinisters own gain could be a nice dichotomy.
I think the interview mentions the actual cloning process didn’t work with Nightcrawler’s DNA because they turn out as grotesque monstrosities which I’m inclined to take as literally globs of flesh and bone (oh god now I’m wondering if the flesh in the giant hamster feeder is a Kurt clone!). But I do think you’re onto something with the Nightcrawlers being defective:
The interview also said that they have something that Sinister doesn’t understand and as corny as it sounds, I do think them rebelling from his brainwashing program does have something to do with who Nightcrawler is; his goodness, gentleness, acceptance and courage to fight for what he believes in. I think we see a glimpse of Kurt’s personality in the Nightcrawler’s in the textless preview where they look like they’re all behaving like a little family with banshee. Much like we see with Cardinal there’s an essence of Nightcrawler that you can’t stamp out. His body may be designed for war, but his heart isn’t into the unnecessary bloodshed. (His heart is more built for thrills, adventuring and romance, but he doesn’t get to do that so much anymore).
Perhaps I’m hoping for too much though, I think they’re setting up for Banshee to be in the spotlight this time which is also fine, poor guy needs a break.
I very curious though why Zsen’s painting was brought up. This time we have more of description: Zsen started by saying Kurt was empty inside and forget-me-not described the image as Kurt but hollow with a sword. Why bring this up now? I assume it’s leading up to something. The only thing I can think of is Kurt being hollow like he’s lacking a soul, which he’s
supposed to be at this point unless it’s been ret-conned. And the sword could be in reference to a soul sword?
