    The Crucible was a fantastic exercise in crafting ritual. I know Hickman is a far cry from the magician writers like Morrison, but a lot of the symbolism was spot during the Crucible. Even the name, while cliched, is clever, given the purpose of a crucible is to burn off impurities and reveal the pure metal.

    The rest of the issue was great too. Nightcrawler pondering the dark underbelly of Krakoa, the creepy/sad scene with Doug and Warlock, more set up for Wanda's entrance... I am not a big X-fan but I'm loving what Hickman is crafting.

    Regarding the crucible and what happened to Aero, yeah it was messed up especially having her die like this in front of all of Krakoa and I wonder what's going to be the consequences on the long term for those who went through this "ritual", especially the trauma that come with it.

    Yu's art was really good here, I've always loved the way he draws Apocalypse.

    So all in all it's another good issue of X-Men in my opinion but honestly after reading this issue, I hope Hickman will have another title with Kurt as one of the main protagonists, I really like he way he writes him.
    Just want to make some points to be clear about this. It was Gutherie's own choice to become a mutant again and she knows what she has to do. Nobody wants kill themselves via suicide. The main question of the issue was what happens to souls after he or she dies.

    Kurt pointed that whole thing about his perception for death or resurrection and what happens to souls after he or she dies.

    I Don't see him defending his daughter on Krakoa, eventhough he knows she was possessed by the Life Force during the events of Disassembled, then House of M.
    He had the knowledge and means to stop the desacration of his daughter's name as "the Pretender" long before it took hold, now it's too late, even the children are taught to hate and fear her, as much as they are taught to hate and fear sapiens.

    I have no sympathy for a man capable of throwing his own children Under the bus, even by apathy, the moment his wishes are granted, or ignore them altogether when he learns they aren't his blood.

    n.b: and also, isn't that chilling that the Red Skull's doctrine matches the one Magneto purpoted at Davos a couple of issues ago? He's a supremacist through and through.

    Exactly my point, thank you.
    Magneto is an awful parent. Just so you know? Blood isn't the be all, end all of parenting.

    exactly, he was never her father, they were never close EVER, it was a looose conection only kept because he fucked her mom once upon a time.
    witout any biological connection, that already faint conection is gone
    so why would he defend her?

    Absolutely.

    That's so bad.

    like i know he isnt her father, never was, why do you want him to act like one when you also state he isnt a father to her ?

    Yeah but where does parenting come into it He met her as an adult and was unaware of any relationship until much later.For a while he thought he had an adult daughter but she never was.
    I don't think a poor relationship with an adult that you for a while falsely thought was your child makes you a bad parent.

    lorna actually considers him her father and cares for him, vice versa, they have been working it out but the relantionship is there.
    it was never ever ever there with the twins

    I never said she was forced to participate, I just said it was messed up to see her die like this in front of Krakoa and that I wondered what's going to be the consequences on the long term for those who went through this crucible especially the psychological trauma that could come with it.

    You meeeeean the kids who were never 'proud' to be mutants? And were not particularly proud to be his kids? What would you have. Them do? Talk about? If you had an adult cousin that didn't particularly vibe with you....then it turns out y'all aren't related would still want to be around that person?

    Given the note about Synch's mental stability a few issues ago, and Wolverine's comments in Wolverine #1, it seems like this is going to be addressed head on at some point. You're right to ponder it.
