unstable molecules

If it is a younger Jean, that kinda undercuts the moment she had with Emma at the end.

Hickman is throwing enough sci-fi ideas in this mini to fill a couple novels. The Dominion stuff I wonder if it is something being set-up to be explored later in his series. It seems a big thing to throw in at the end of this book that isn't that relevant. Really I think we are hoping for a resolut...

Interesting theory Xavier ís Moira! :shock: https://screenrant.com/xmen-theory-xavier-moira-clone-secret/?fbclid=IwAR2wS7PF5cBbW6iBL7P6iiSvcJT4xVdQYuHPva3NzZs8GC5r_26iNJ1pbhA I could see it. Anything that points out that odd dichotomy of "it's not known what happens when you put another mutant's so...

Nah. A 12 issues maxi-series would usually seem like enough, but now that we've only got 3 issues left I'm not really sure how he'll be able to wrap everything up. I bet that something (the threat of the Phalanx perhaps?) ends up unresolved and a plot point for the ongoing afterwards.

Looks like we're gonna be stuck with Jean in her old Marvel Girl togs for the time being...

I am full of schadenfreude from das_boot's anger over the use of Goldballs and Hope here. :D I'm still pretty convinced that there's some sort of mind-control/influence/manipulation going on by X/"Xavier" here. There are points where the X-Men act like themselves, but also a lot of points where they...

I'm certainly learning a lot from this thread... I didn't realize so many people disliked Gillen's take on Sinister, or that anyone actually liked those action figure alt covers...

In fact, based just on what we know now, I’d like to see it turn out that Life 6 was 616, and that life 11 will be Moira’s effort to re-create life 6, but with everything she learned from 7-10 to improve it. So we get a subtly changed past, and a new future. But everything we’ve read before still h...

I think something I REALLY want at the end of this is X being not wholly our Xavier. It would be interesting, to me, if somehow Sinister got ahold of him and is influencing him. People have mentioned that Moira has worked with most of the major powers in the X-Universe except for Sinister after all...

Part of me almost wonders if the team was sent by Xavier to purposely die - succeed at stopping the Mother Mold, sure, but in such a way that they wouldn't come back either. So much talk at the start of #3 about how their memories would live on, seems like Xavier was banking on them serving as marty...

I think Cyclops should have reconsidered his team lineup...Husk and Archangel were fodder lol... See a good Colossus or Polaris would have been really beneficial lol Thing is, Husk and Archangel both could've likely survived the explosion if they had time to react (Archangel's wrapping himself in h...

The lesson is that inter-studio contracts should cover three solo films so the trilogy’s conclusion can’t be wrecked by renegotiation. Of course now that I’ve delayed writing up this controversy until I could properly parse it , the parties will undoubtedly have rendered it moot via compromise. If ...

I'm definitely liking the setup but I do slightly agree with Token's comment that things feel a bit cold. I do think that this may well be by design though (such as Majestic's theory that these are all or mostly chimeras and not the real X-Men). The dialogue between X/Mag/Cyclops is super creepy and...

I saw that Kelly Thompson will be given Deadpool. Will be interesting to see where she goes with it.

Yeah, I haven't bought any Deadpool solo titles in awhile but this has me intrigued.

That's in next issue! Spoilers!

I see a lot of talk about character deaths and Rosenberg in this thread, but not alot of plot point discussion. Would someone be able to give me a brief rundown of what happened? Cyclops and his team break into the Hellfire Club mansion, unsure if they're there to rescue Emma or stop her. As they t...

Funny enough it was the same for me - I started reading literally an issue or two before Revolution, so only a year or so before Morrison started. At the time I didn't like it as much as other stuff because it felt so different. Now of course, looking back, I appreciate it much more because it was d...

Adding a 'kid character' for younger audiences to glomp onto is certainly a thing, but there's no way that was the intention behind Maxime and Manon. Zero people went out and bought Extermination just because those two characters were in it. Not much here in terms of new info that wasn't already pre...

I find it funny that you guys are all digging into the differences between House of X and Powers of X and my main takeaway after this issue is that they should've just made it one 12-issue maxi-series. :) After all, we still got a scene of the 'present' (assuming the scenes with helmet-clad Xavier, ...

When he dropped that line (referring to the MCU as 616) I just immediately thought of all the headaches that would cause for wikis and the like, but thankfully for them it turned out to be a lie.

Now that someone brought up space; I wonder how does the whole space side of the X-men interact with the whole humans; sentinel; end of the world side of things. For example; What's to stop Moira from eliciting help from some X-men Allies in the imperial Guard/Shiar empire. Surely that must come in...

Yeah I didn't mean to wade too much into the weeds on the Morrison stuff (ignoring totaldarknessin's post, for example) but if you wanna move this elsewhere I understand. Actually, Morrison had mutantkind being the majority only in a 100 years, IIRC. Marvel's reaction had to do with the movie rights...

I always wondered if Morrison knew House of M was coming or if it was another thing that showed Marvel just didn't want to continue with his direction. I've had the feeling that Marvel just wasn't sure what to do with Morrison's "mutants will naturally out-populate humans within 10 years" idea and ...

Seems my inclination that the 616 might not be the 'origin' timeline and instead a repeat was right, just not in the way I imagined, heh. I didn't really want to touch the timeline stuff (especially since others here know it a lot better than I do) but looking at the stuff at the end, it seems WAAAA...

It seemed like the creators were really in the groove with Season 4 being broken up into definite plot arcs, and Season 5, while it took a bit to get going, ended strong (and I think would've served great as a series finale). So I had some high hopes for this one, especially since it seemed to have ...
