Even though the Krakoan era fell apart after Hickman left, it did showcase lesser used mutants and X-Men characters (such as my favorite Synch).
How will we ever get the next legacy characters if the same four or five X-Men, whose stories are finished, are used in every damn iteration of the X-Men? I am not saying all the legacy X-Men characters' stories are over, just Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Beast, and Magneto. There is nothing left to do with these characters. Emma Frost is getting dangerously close to this mark where SHE needs to be retired for a while.
