What about that owl. Reminds me of cassandra nova from the future that showed up in that cringey Ron Garney run
The rest of the MU is not beholden to this run's completely ridiculous premise of Moira being the center of the universe. He'll just scrap all this Arrako/Krakoa nonsense and leave things as they were before they started. Just like Secret War, or AoA, or that time Nimrod found a necklace in the subway that turned NYC into a renaissance fair for two issues. "Put the toys back on the table where you found them after you're done playing."

I don't think he'll quite do that. For instance I'm confident that all of the revivals of dead mutants is going to stick. Idk if they'll get rid of the resurrection engine, but I do think it'll end with everyone alive.
Except Moira. She gon get it
So then the next step of the mutant metaphor is being refugees?
I still don't understand anything about Krakoa itself. Back in '75 it was said to have gained sentience as a result of nuclear testing a few decades before trying to eat the X-Men, who promptly threw it into space. Now, it's back somehow(still unexplained), and it actually used to have a whole civilization of super-mutants on it until it was split apart by something(still fuzzy) and half of it teleported to another dimension?
WTF?

I've been reading comics for decades. Hickman's audacity is certainly something to behold, but after all this XoS nonsense, Krakoa still is too much of an inconsistency.

If Polaris hadn't talked to Krakoa in reference to the Giant Size incident I might could hand wave this, but she did, so I can't. Same with Vulcan and his crew. This isn't 'baby Krakoa' or whatever that was back in WatXM. If you are going to base the whole run on top of Krakoa that we know from '75, you have to explain it.
