You know, seeing Xavier with Omega Sentinel, it genuinely bothers me that the history that they had is completely ignored all so they can have this black and white AI is evil narrative all the way until the end. Xavier was the one who originally wanted to help restore Karima’s humanity in the first place but in this entire era didn’t bat an eye about what was going on with her.
So glad that Brisson is not gonna write any other X-book.
Wanna bet that panel is the only thing of significance Firestar does?
Also Betsy and helmets just don't fit.
So I read Jordan explain that if Apocalypse had been alive during the fight that he would have been slaughtering his foes and the XMEN would have had a different problem. That the good XMEN would have had a problem with that….
I ask myself two questions: Besides Cyclops…who would still be considered a ”good” XMEN?
How is this different from what the XMEN have been doing from the last three months?
The XMEN have been killing more humans than Covid.
I hate the fact that the story has put the reader in a situation in which two of the most megalomanic villains…Apocalypse and Magneto…can actually be considered good and actually needed because of the storyline the reader has been presented.
If you insist on taking all possible nuance out of a story - ie completely removing the 'they are killing active combatants who are willfully complicit in an active genocide' from your very framing of the situation - then you really shouldn't be surprised when you're left with a situation without nuance.
Yikes! How do you lose RB Silva during the most important issue of the whole miniseries?! And Luciano Vecchio? Ugh...Steven Universe "bean" mouths, cat eyes, silly proportions and animal noses...Art is way too silly for the gravitas of the Fall of X final story! They might as well had just gotten Phil Noto to draw the last issue. So disappointed.
I wonder who came out of the egg that the Five and Destiny are watching over...Rachel? Rasputin IV?

Re: Magneto, I personally think that they should have left him dead when Logan killed him back in 1998(ish). He really went past the point of no return here, so Logan wasn't just killing in a homicidal feral rage. The thing with Magneto is that people keep going back and forth on the character and don't seem to want to make up their mind on who/what he is. Villain? Hero? Anti-hero? Even the way he is written now, it may be good quality, but how long will this version last? Hell, people didn't know in the solicits for Resurrection if he was going to be a villain again. But I personally find this one too emo, like Poccy. Different strokes for different folks.
Now for the truth storywise... he really went out with a bang in X-Men number one and probably never should have been brought back after that. Thats probably where his story should have ended.
