I found it very touching and bittersweet. It's also a much more elegant and understated way to make the point that fuckyougrantmorisson was trying to hammer in Planet X.
A thousand times yes. Also, I'm totally stealing "fuckyougrantmorisson" for future use.
I love the fact that Magneto is basically... oh, so you're taking a page out of my book? Heh. Well, I guess I'm going to join you then. And I'm not going to point out that you're basically doing what I've been kind of doing all this time anyway - I'm just going to smirk to myself and make a handful of snarky comments.
But what marvellous snarky comments they are. It's funny, because I reread the 90s storyline recently, and Scott (and Jean) specifically rejected the idea of a separatist mutant Utopia. What a difference a decade or two make!
As I've said before, the only way it makes sense for me is if they have a telepathic communication in between "hey, I'm here in peace. A hand with Scott?" "SOf course. Just watch the reverse psychology." "You're a terrible actor, Charles. And what's with the glowy eyes- ouch!" "See? Worked like a charm." "..." :p
I like that interpretation so much! I'll try rereading the issue going on that assumption, it should make much more sense.
Which, in retrospect, makes Scott quite the ass. Poor Xavier :(
It does. I mean, I can see where Scott is coming from in his lingering resentment over all the lies and memory alterations, but I'm just bummed at Charles being out of the loop. You'd think they'd at least try to include him, if only to avoid another Onslaught incident.
And I had doing the picspam of doom. Except...where am I going to have my cracky X-Men discussions now? The comics communities on lj aren't very active (at least the ones for general x-men discussion). :(
