    Some people will find bigotry anywhere, esp. in the FF where it doesn't exist. It's Krakoa's shady ways that they're weary of, not what the people who live there's genes are.

    How would you have reacted if it was the other way around with the FF going to talk to Xavier and Magneto bubbling up someone in a force field?
    How would you like it if the Fantastic Four had brought Graydon Creed or or any of the Trasks with them to talk to the mutants? If you're trying to talk peace, you shouldn't bring ranting racists with you.

    Unless you've become one of those racists yourself and don't have a problem with the ranting anymore, esp. if it helps advance your agendas.

    Remember how the Avengers brought a cloaked Helicarrier in AvX and there was many pretending that wasn't an act of aggression. The X-Men weren't hiding Jamie Braddock, Proteus and Legion in case the FF said no

    Sinister earned passage since he's responsible for the DNA, critical to resurrections. Will he do something evil soon? Perhaps. Most likely. Yeh. What would be interesting is if Franklin dies while on an intergalactic picnic with his family and they ask Krakoa to bring him back.

    I still think the whole thing was a set up. Bring Magneto to make Sue lose her cool which leads to Franklin's embarrassment and eventual curiosity about Krakoa. It worked like a charm.

    Because apparently Storm and Iceman, their friends, can’t talk to them or be near them because they’re threatening them with their Omega level status.
    And Xavier has gone to talks without Magneto numerous times. Magneto has tended to be at meetings where those that they were meeting were untrusted company. If they truly didn’t wish to assert an air of aggression, they wouldn’t have brought Magneto. And, as I said before, they could bring someone trusted with them as a bodyguard for Xavier, but there was no need to bring such a force. One or 2 along with Xavier and Kitty would have worked fine.

    Maybe we need a true example of how a mutant teenager is kidnapped.

    The X-Men at least didn't have Pyro and Magneto cloaked.

    [QUOTE=People Of The Earth;4847153]No parent on Earth that is parenting will allow his/her children to live outside the family house without a damn good Reason.
    I can think of a few of them, but in the case of Franklin he simply hasn't one, if anything he's living the life in a very privileged background with a loving and supporting family at his back.
    His parents are right to question Xavier's motives and as long as he's minor, they are right to tell him he still got to live with them.



    You'll be pressed to push this narrative of the FF being bad parents.
    And they have no Lesson to receive in that department from the X-Men of all people.



    In all those scenarios, Sue and Reed are still Franklin's parents, and said Franklin is still a minor. Xavier shouldn't have done what he did, as Reed pointed out to him, the situation would have resolved itself once the kid became an adult legally, but Xavier has a timetable it seems.[/QUOstate

    I really must apologise , the auto correct turned my reply into gibberish ! I'm far too old for this computer mallarcky.
    Your absolutely correct that both scenarios would have ended in disastrous failure and that is why I believe "taking" was never on the table.
    And of course ,as you say Franklin is a minor .
    So ,overall that is why I think Xavier and crew where there to persuade.
    In that context I don't understand why you state that "Xavier should not have done what he did" , which , from my point of view ,was to drop by for a cup of tea and an offer . And ,again , I'll accept that bringing the least diplomatic mutants in the world was very clumsy.

    I have to say I find it fascinating that a story told in both words and pictures can be interpreted in such radically different ways.I suppose there is no real right of wrong ,so long as we enjoy the story.

    Hope this message comes out as English !
    All the best.

    And remember how Cyclops said she was not a prisoner and free to make her own decisions....until she agreed to go with the Avengers and then Cyclops treated her like property??

    One is a nation that was built to ensure that mutants are able to thrive in an environment that doesn’t try to constantly kill, maim, terrorize, and/or traumatize them, while also creating a culture that makes them proud to be who they are.

    The other was an exploration mission in other whole universes while their family and friends back home thought they were all dead because they didn’t bother to tell them anything for almost a year.

    One is altruistic, the other is self-serving.

    These need to be put in the CBR museum.

    Given that Cyclops was Hope's grandfather and therefore his legal guardian, one can draw parallels with Reed and Sue, in effect.

    If they are this "concerned" over Franklin going to Krakoa now, what's going to change in a few years when he's 18? Most kids Franklin's age are already thinking about college, why shouldn't Franklin start thinking about his future?

    Colleges send scouts to high schools all across the country to visit teenagers, to talk to students and invite them to their school. How is what Xavier doing any different? They didn't try to talk to Franklin without his parents, they wanted to include them in the conversation
    Because this series doesnt make sense and we need forced drama.

    Besides Reed has every right to think that he is the best suited to help his son.

    To be honest, do you really think that they would let reed or susan so easily in Krakoa ??

    They want Franklin to live there not just a check.

    So it's unreasonable when Sue does it but completely fine when Scott does it?
