'k i also liked nightcrawlers but there was one thing about it that annoyed me so much. it's the fact that the nightcrawler hybrids were more prone to be "good" and were as hopeful as kurt was from the first generation by virtue of being related to him. like kurt's genetics carry some "goodness" aspect and natural hopeful trait

besides the fact we've seen time and time again that clones (let alone hybrids) don't carry the personality and ambition of the OG template, it kinda undermines kurt's achievements as it being less of his own choice/reflexion on the struggles he faced during his entire life and more of a genetic predisposition/innate need to do that. there is no choice, never was. at least with cardinal, a chimera, you could argue the phoenix force has something to do with his personality (rachael grey's dna was used) since it stands in the realm of the mystical so it could play a part in why the cardinals were all the same in the way they valued all life (the phoenix is the very essence of life), no exceptions

while we're on this, if any of nightcrawler's hybrids were such failures in the first place even when combined with the dna of murderous mutants, why were his chimeras even considered in cardinal's reality which was set in a war torn world in need of hyper militaristic and agressive mutant soldiers? talk about being counterproductive

there's also the big question of "how does tj fit in this?" since the hybrids are basically a kurt+someone combo aka an indirect child of his. yet tj doesn't have any of their personality predisposition...

Oooh I never really thought about it like that. But I’m not sure if it was a genetic thing.

See I figured Mother Righteous just drilled the philosophy of the Spark into them that they had no other choice. Since they were also branched from Sinister in a way, Kurt’s “goodness” and hopes and dreams were the only way to battle out Sinister’s influence. So they absolutely had to copy his personality into theirs so they could literally live longer.

For SoS, I personally first came for Storm (my beloved) but stayed for Nightcrawlers... SaTB was a joke to me in how it used her character. I should have seen it coming: SoS started with Storm being a fool, kept that part up in SaTB#1 and ended with her not actually really there in #3. The art is good but it was so shallow to me as a story.

SaTB was OK, I wouldn’t call it bad or anything but I think it was a… um… hmm… tiny bit disrespectful to Storm… where they… used her body even after she said she didn’t want to be revived again. They didn’t do that to Erik which is… a lil sus… but maybe we shouldn’t get into that

I liked the final scenes with Destiny though, and her whole story and seeing those two old ladies fight about what to do next. But it really did fall apart in that final issue 😅. Crazy as hell each series did so poorly in the end

with sins of sinister ending not so long ago and it being your first X-Men event, what were your thoughts about it? which series did you prefer following between storm and the brotherhood, immoral X-Men and nightcrawlers?

OOH yeah! Good question! Thanks for asking.

Thing is, SOS isn’t my first X-Men event. When I first “started” reading comics (at a massive amount) back in 2016~ the Inhumans vs X-Men and the Civil War 2 series was my first real event. (I forgot which came before which and I don’t want to do a quick Google–) But those guys were my first TRUE X-Men event.

Now THAT I liked, and yeah it’s a little biased because it was my first. And comparing them to the ENTIRETY of SOS? I did not like SOS that much 🤣.

I actually got severely annoyed with SOS by the end of the run, which was in Nightcrawlers #3 which I’m SO sad about because the Nightcrawlers series was my favorite!! There was just too much crap going on in one little book (in #3) that I couldn’t follow along with. In comparison to the Inhumans V X-Men thing, I didn’t even read every single story like I did with SOS, yet I still liked it!! As we’ve mentioned tons and tons of times before on this blog there’s just something SO off about this era’s writing on the X-Men team that just… doesn’t do it for me.

And I think I already answered the second part of your question about the trio SOS series, Nightcrawlers was by FAR my fav. And not just because it was themed around Nightcrawler himself, (which it sort of really wasn’t anyway), I just thought the smaller stories it told and the short-lived (literally) characters it introduced were SO cool (bring back Wallcrawler my beloved 😭). Mother Righteous also had a bigger part in this section of SOS, and gave us some lore about what to expect from the end of LOX (and the start of Sons of X) which I really appreciated, because I told ya’ll I really liked LOX (even though it was the only side Krakoa series I’m caught up with 😅).

Storm’s side of the series was ok and I only looked forward to reading it because it had Storm in it. Didn’t have much else that I cared for TBH.

And I completely forgot what happened in Immoral X-Men, but it introduced the bbygirl Rasputin IV, who I’m ALL for and definitely looking forward to her next story.

But now to reflect on the whole of SOS…

I think it accomplished what it came to do. I didn’t have fun reading most of it but it did set the stage for future series. Yall did tell me writers have been setting up this series for a long time, and now the fallout is coming back to the current age of Krakoa (which I’m a bit more excited to see now that Rasputin is here, Destiny’s role revealed, Mother Righteous is an instigator and greedy, Dominion etc).

This is hopefully going to show everyone in charge that the cracks in their system are more like holes than anything else. And I really do love that. I love that a lot of people are scared now. This is serving as such a big wake up call and I’m so SO excited to see where it goes.

And it goes without saying that this will inevitably effect the rest of the superhero community/earth because ofc mutants have to involve everyone in everything, so let’s see where that goes too!

MORE INFO

Doctor Stephen Strange was a world renowned neurosurgeon until a car accident cost him the function of his hands. Desperate for a cure, the doctor found himself learning the mystic arts deep in the Himalayas at a place called Kamur-Taj. Mastering magic, he now calls himself the Sorcerer Supreme. [SIDENOTE: Since there are a lot of MCU themed blogs in the Marvel fandom, this ask blog will mostly be centered about Earth-616. You can ask questions to the Ultimate Spider-man verse, and Super Hero Squad since Stephen also appears in these.]
