sometimes i wonder if its beter do complety reboot the x men universe
some fans love the 90 x men a bit to mucht
Not much about Krakoan society is really unique to mutants. Mutant culture will only ever be an imitation.
Polyamory, clones, provisional ruling councils, propaganda rallies, isolationist policies, firework shows?
*yawn*
Humans did it first.
Not only are House of X & Powers of X pretentious and boring, but the idea of making all of the X-villains into X-Men is one of the dumbest ever.
I agree with this somewhat, but just not as harsh lol. At first I was onboard, but other than the first issue of HoX and the issue where everybody "died", I've been pretty disappointed with this thing so far. Not a criticism of the writer or anything, it's just a personal preference issue. I don't like that all the mutants are all lovely dovey and friendly with each other all of a sudden, especially when quite a few never cared for mutant harmony in the first place.
While I have frustrations with the New Mutants being insular, their roster evolves and has eras. There's the Xavier, Magneto, Cable and Domino eras, the road trip, Revolution, various miniseries with part or most of the original cast, Utopia's main defense squad, and now Hickman in Space. The Generation X roster is far more integrated with the X-Men, but they've never had the kind of evolutions or return-to-forms that the NM group has. And the kids that followed, New X-Men and Academy... they're basically fodder and wallpaper.
Do we have a definitive Gen X fan on the the forum that can alert me to their "eras"?
If by that, you mean various periods of time where the team was totally different from other times...GenX doesn't apply, IMO. It was basically the same core team throughout the run, with only one major character being killed off (Synch) and then the M-twins thing.
Ancillary characters (Artie, Leech, Mondo-ish, Gaia, Howard the Duck, etc.) came and went, but apart from maybe Gaia (I didn't read the Hama days), I wouldn't call them as part of the team.
Other than that, I suppose one could break down the series into Lobdell/Bachalo, Hama, Faerber, and Ellis/Wood "eras", with each of those having a distinct feel to the book from the others due to the writing. Lobdell/Bachalo definitely take the cake as far as quality goes. But the overall premise of the book remained mostly the same; kids in a school learning how to be mutants. There wasn't ever a significant "Outback Era" adjustment to the mission statement (with the caveat, again, that I didn't read Hama's issues). Ellis into Wood tried, I think? But it was just unnecessarily dark/edgy to me, and not really "different".

Because they're popular. Mystique stays on an X-team. Apocalypse now gets to randomly be a good guy. Emma has been with the X-Men for years & Shaw is her personal rival, so they're like a package deal in many cases.
But that's a flaw I see. All these villains, sadists, and murders on Krakoa, yet Creed was the one that they & Hickman cast out in a contrived execution when more dangerous villains like Selene & Emplate are out there. The latter who I know for a fact eats mutants. Then monsters like Sinister sitting on the council when he was the one who ruined Krakoa in a past Moira life. But he's one of Hickman's top 5 favs. so the bias can be expected. '
Mystique on the council who has a history of chronic betrayal, but had this amnesty long before Hickman showed up. lol And Apocalypse shaking Xavier's hand to accomplishing the dream he always had. HA! Apocalypse is all about Darwinism. He thinks mutants are the stronger species than humans. But then divides mutants up among what he sees as the strong & weak and wants to kill the latter. A man of very small principle. Now he's on X-teams protecting Rictor.
