"Danielle... I intend to do something rash and violent." - Betsy Braddock
Krakoa, Arakko, and Otherworld forever!
Agree on this. I feel like X-Men Forever cleared up MANY THINGS, but confused me one what the REAL or FAKE Plan is at this point. I guess we'll get some answers in Rise next week, cause Charle is about to confront Moira. Oddly, the Phoenix part is just mentioned now. For me, it seems logical that Professor X might go too far and want to create his own Dominion... maybe he will include Moira in that somehow? Assumption is that Jean will wreck whatever off landish, too far plans Xavier has at this point.
yes but the expectation was that that first issue at least would focus on Jean. Im fin with it not being a Jean centric book but come on now. She literally got nothing besides 1 panel of her laying dead on the floor. This firs issue would have been more fit to have those other characters you mentioned than Jean
I wonder if we will see what happened between Stasis and Firestar in this series.
TO KNOW HER IS TO FEAR HER: JESSICA DREW THE SPIDER-WOMAN
BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE NEW 2024 SPIDER-WOMAN SERIES by STEVE FOXE!!!
MISSING:
Synch's Aura
Northstar and Aurora's shiny hair
Spider-Woman’s cowl costume
My guess is raising the phoenix was the redacted 'option 3' below 1.stopping Enigma happening and 2.Interfering with Moira before her power activates.. on the data page in RoPX#2. It follows since Dominions fear the Phoenix (not another dominion) then failing to achieve 1 or 2, option 3 becomes the ace in the hole.
I'm rereading Uncanny X-Men vol 2, this scene is now much more funny
Gillen is a madman.

This. There have been so many retcons at this point that reading this issue felt like reading an issue of What If?, particularly when it comes to what Destiny is now supposed to have known for her entire publication history. The retcons all feel like attempts to give the story weight, but that just feels a bit lazy and empty to me - “Look how important this is, our characters have known about it secretly for centuries! Just ignore the fact that you only found that out two pages ago and it doesn’t really line up with any of their history, it’s so important!”
The fact it’s almost impossible to piece together a reading order for this event doesn’t help. I spend most of every issue of Fall of X trying to figure out what’s already happened.
Hopefully the exposition and retcons are done now and we can just get on with the story. Gillen is a good enough writer to pull off a satisfying ending, but it’s an uphill battle right now.
"When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world — No, you move."
I really do think a good 80 percent of the problem everyone had with fall of x has to do with delaying publishing this. I went Ah Ha! when Gillen mentioned it was originally supposed to appear months ago. Because it makes everything else make so much more sense (but I didn't think it was in that much disarray before, honestly).
As for Destiny, it makes sense to me, more than anything other character, that she has important secrets layered on top of each other.
