Krakoa, Arakko, and Otherworld forever!
As I've said, it's About Storm not being a supremacist. Forget about the number of tiny little quotes that you can intepret a certain way. She's very blatantly not a supremacist 99.999999% of the time, nor was she being written as one. Acting like a couple vague quotes invalidates how she's regulsrly written.
I was responding with the original poster's comment and list of those who put themselves or mutantdom above humanity on the QC in mind. I was simply pointing to panel evidence of Storm fitting in the 'pro' camp. My focus is not how she has been written (which I agree with you had no hint of exceptionalism) ,but how she will be written going forward.After Krakoa, that remains to be seen.
Alright that's fair. But I will say that the original person's point was that the Council was heavily dominated by mutant supremacists, and that they counted Storm as one. Even with all the evidence, she is very much not a supremacist, so the poster's point about her is wrong.
Sounds like nostalgia written all over it. Brevoort proving me right that he still holds onto the nostalgia world building and storytelling
Insert: Oscar Awards standing ovation
And one for BobbysWorld.
It's like Brevoort was lurking in all those "Krakoa is a Cult" threads that popped up every other month or two, instead of actually reading/understanding the stories being written.
I would have loved some attempt at righting the many obvious wrongs that came up. That after the "Moira Reveal" the writers might have course-corrected somewhat and we could have had a Mutant Nation actually growing and thriving against the odds and despite what others may think and feel and do (as with many nations and minorities in real life), where they would still have to fight to keep that Island Life safe and alive (as ALL other heroes do in the MU).
But...I also understand that that was never the intent. Which is the real shame...that their "vision" of mutant life and existence will never be anything other than "hatred and fear".
And as I've said before...After reading 60 years worth of rinse-repeat "hatred and fear" that get exponentially greater each era, I'm good. I'm waiting to see what the Phoenix and Storm solos bring but I'm not jumping on/into the Brevoort Era.

IIRC, she's not an actual supremacist for the majority of the actual run, and she isn't one in any of the other Krakoan books running for the past 5 years. If you have to list very specific (and dubious) instances to claim she's pro-supremacy, and not her overall behavior, then the list is flawed.
Amazing, thank you. Glad to see he was able to get over being cruelly vanquished by a bunch of witches.
The era was not Hickman's run though. His run was integral to it, absolutely, but his takes were not the only ones that matter. Are we actually supposed to look at the several years of highly acclaimed work done with Storm and then look at Storm characterized quite differently in the bare handful of scenes where Hickman wrote her for more than a line or two of dialogue.....and say yeah, obviously Hickman's handful of mostly group scenes that happen to include Storm should be treated as the definitive characterization for her this era?
You cited an alternate future that was prevented from coming to pass by mutants themselves to argue that see, humans were right about Krakoans all being bad and supremacists after all, on account of the stuff they did in a timeline where they were forcibly brainwashed and altered on a genetic level against their will as the literal premise for why they were all like that in that future....
And you think actually no its OTHER people who are being disingenuous in this thread?
Even though it's the same timeline, I wonder if Charles messing with young Moira's mind in the past changes at least some things.
