    Chuds aren't going to like this. Even though I like her better with brown skin actually like reflecting her heritage as Roma.

      IP laws really fucked up what little good storytelling existed in comics. The X-Men and mutants in general are such a good way to explore a lot of issues around oppression and othering. I hate what's going on with Krakoa, but I'm glad there's this win with Wanda.

          Krakoa was attack by Orchis with most mutants being exiled to a another dimention the rest being force to hide as orchis took over the world blaming Krakoa for a bunch of terrorist attacks they did.

          Right now is the mutant offensive against orchis in the fall of the house of X books

            Orochis is a new concept for me but I think I get it. So editorial is moving on from the Krakoan age for mutants which sucks.

              Yeah. Another anti-mutant group ruining the dream of cohabitation. I know it's a limitation of the genre to return to the status quo, but it feels especially painful watching the X-Men face repeated defeats like this. Even when they do their best to live away from humanity at large.

              It just sucks because the narrative is that things will never get better for mutants and a better world isn't possible. And that narrative is pushed by maintaining steady profit.

                Yeah its an unfortunate penalty of the infinitely ongoing nature of comics. Things can never get better for mutants for forever. It sucks.

                Krakoa could have gone on for so much longer than four years. I hate how we were finally getting early parts of a unique mutant culture and it was all just yanked away.

                  I loved it! It was Solarpunk and aggressively optimistic. People were poly and doing their own adventures and vibing with the rest of marvel.

                  But you can't show how easy it would be to make a better world.

                  The Quiet Council always bothered me though. Like come on. Reeked of lib compromise bullshit.
