    Bingo, plus although everyone gets to look the other way but since we are talking about resurrection,Selene should be banished from Krakoa,she resurrected those killed by Nova just to sacrifice them for herself.People twist themselves in pretzels trying to make mutants of her ilk somehow anomalies

    Direct continuations can do retcons. And yes, it rather explicitly was.

    What exactly was Wanda supposed to do? She tried to fix it and she couldn't by herself. And it seems to me like the X-Men weren't dying for her help.

    wanda commited genocide over fake vibrator babies and daddy issues and shes an avenger
    Wanda didnt commit genocide, Cassandra Nova did. Wanda committed, at most, manslaughter of however many people. Genocide requires the premeditated murder of a whole section of society. She didnt do that.

    Wanda never set out to kill an entire race of people, she took away their powers. The vast majority did not die. Genocide requires death to be applicable. There isnt really a real world word for what Wanda did. It's more akin to ethnic cleansing, which can be done without killing, than genocide, which requires premeditated killing as part of the definition of what it is.

    It wasn't a retcon though. The act of taking the powers didnt get them killed. But depending on what each individual mutant was doing they did die because they no longer had their powers.

    Wait. I didnt say that right. Or did I. I don't even know.

    But I dont think it was a retcon.

    Again, I think that will be one of the points Hickman makes by the end. Integration, not isolation. Acceptance, not dominance. Freedom of choice, not weird extremism that feigns choice but punishes those that disagree or dont fit in.
    All I’m saying is, a dream based on the fantasy of being accepted by ‘normal’ society if you just sit back and take everything they dish out at your expense is no dream. Xavier’s dream was the dream of a child. It has never worked in the real world, it cannot work in a fictional world where a plurality of humanity across all racial and national and cultural lines wants you UTTERLY annihilated.

    I’m not saying it isn’t a wonderful dream. It was. But humanity has made it abundantly clear that dream will NEVER come to pass, so it’s time for a new one. One where they are still absolutely a part of the world, but on THEIR terms, not those of their oppressors.

    Point to the scan where it said all mutants were depowered and not a single one died. It's not a retcon at all

    But no, she is so much worse than Apocalypse and Sinister
    I can't wait for Apocalypse and Sinister turn heel on them

    By destroying a culture and blocking mutant births Wanda satisfied two definitions of genocide.

    The fact that this keeps coming up makes it clear that Hickman will address it in some way. Wanda's spell did lead to the uprising of many humans intent on killing the remaining mutants and we all saw the nasty, bloody road that led to. That's actually when I left the books for a little bit because I didn't like the hopelessness of it all.

    Unfortunately the source of this was an ally and in many cases, a friend/family member. And the truth is, there's no guarantee that she wouldn't snap again (or be influenced by an outsider). That's why I understand the fear and it will be interesting to see how Hickman handles this.

    Funny that they said there was a lot of Genocides, But one was comitted by a murmudrai, twin of Charles.

    and the other by a mutant.
