It's either 'cult' or whatever people are saying or going instinct. I'm not seeing the problem here...

question does someone like Stacy X kill herself so she can come back as a mutant?
Also props to person a bleeding cool who mutants spoil this stuff months back but Immortal mutants sounded so batshit crazy that no one took it seriously
Oh and Wakanda sucks. lol

In this issue (and series) we learn what would happen if Xavier joined the Hellfire Club. By that I mean becoming a mutant industrialist with global agenda. He still won’t take off that helmet even while attending a UN cocktail party. Something not right...
Storm’s “ritual leader voice” was in character if you consider the time she addressed the Morlocks after taking leadership from Callisto. But yeah, I’m not cool with X-Men behaving like a autocratic cult. That was Inhumans’ gig and their “lording over everyone” posture was what prevented me from caring about any of the characters.
Reading the fine print — Proteus gets resurrected using Xavier's DNA? I guess that means he was Xavier’s kid all along? Where is Moira? Oh and, resurrecting Cyclops without the ability to control his blast? He lost control as kid when he hit his head. But resurrecting Wolverine with adamantium? Interesting choices.
How do resurrections work if Gold Balls is killed?
Besides that congrats mutants you are now enslaved in Xavier’s dream for an eternity. You will be resurrected again and again whether you like it or not.

Oh I don't know...the way it is being achieved? Threats to humanity, mental persuasion, alliances with villains.
I think it is fair & accurate that some, if not many, have been molded by the years of hatred & hurt toward mutants & totally embrace this new way of life. But all of them?

They are playing up the themes very loud and intentionally.
I mean mutant controlled Genosha was a dictatorship with a cult of personality around Magneto and even then it was more of a straight mutant nationalist feel with a militarist component then a revolutionary or cult like mutant feel. This feels more like the revolutionary nationalism of young states that believe anything is possible and believe in themselves without question.

No one's talking about this.

I just read the issue. Hickman is a brilliant and careful writer, so he has to know that on a theological/metaphysical level, the strike team in still dead. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but in Marvel continuity, the immortal soul is literally cannon. So, despite the fact that Magneto used the Greek philosophical term “anima” to suggest it’s really them, it’s not. They are still dead. They are just glorified clones with uploaded memories, and their souls are still in the afterlife.
