If you’re not into Rogue being split into two color coded versions of herself like Superman in the late 90’s I fear we just want fundamentally different amounts of whimsy in our comics. #xspoilers

Honestly it’s too bad Wade is a shambling infectious husk, because Rogue Red was definitely his best shot.

C-F list characters never showing up again might be sad for you a fan of the character, but it’s just how ensembles work.

What's an opinion about X-Men that'll get you sent to jail? Is Jean really interesting or really boring? Should Logan have stayed dead? Do you think a certain x-mens outfit is positively horrendous even though people seem to love it?

The Brood Saga is better than Dark Phoenix imo 🤷

The X-Men cheating on each other is good actually. It’s a soap opera.

Hey man, I got your report on my desk that you think Wolverine is overrated and that’s cool and all but I feel like you didn’t read the quoted post at all. “Wolverine is overrated” is the popular opinion. Let’s circle back on this later. Ok. Love you. Bye.

💯 in agreement. I generally think Seeley is a good writer but I wish he’d turned this one down/not been offered it.

I mean I thought Captain Britain was cool as the powerhouse of Forge’s X-Force by Thorne/To but I know I’m in the minority on that one. But I mostly get where you’re coming from.

That said, you’re not wrong if your feeling was “that’s racist” I just don’t necessarily think that this time period is inherently off limits especially when it’s a period many fans skipped. I do question the entire enterprise and value of telling a story with a white woman inside Kwannon’s body

Making problematic art is not inherently bad and honestly it’s cop brain that tells you it is. That’s said, I don’t know what reaction Psylocke Ninja was supposed to evoke if not blind fury. Seems ill-advised at best. #xspoilers

the problem with "what's your most unhinged X-Men take" is that no take is gonna be more unhinged than "sending death threats to a variant cover artist for depicting a different ship than your comfort married couple"
