    • @justinmcdonald2072
      @justinmcdonald2072 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I take the journey was more the gain from the lesson they provided not the weapon itself. Most of the swords have a prior engrained history that did not need a new view of them. Storm's sword is on loan she has to do something to get Wakanda's trust back it might not happen they like being independent no gate access.
      Wolverine's muramasa does not need more it really can go back in a vault.
      Doug's sword is a mutant.
      Cable's was key no longer useful ( it may have room to grow).

    I’ve had mixed feelings about this event....but after your expounding, I’ve realized it all makes more sense.
    Saturnyne didn’t care about swords....or a tournament...her true goal was to win the heart of Brian Braddock
    Pulling the tarot cards was a way to set that in motion. Allow Krakoa and Arakko to come into conflict with the Citadel at the center. Cast Betsy to the side and throw in a desperate love incantation on top....With the fate of the multiverse in the balance, the Captain Britain Corp would be recreated.
    Once that didn’t work as planned, she still had to make sure the multiverse wasn’t destroyed and “allowed” the rest of the events to transpire
    This is why she showed Wolverine an alternate future...she had to steer things in a certain way to get to the point of massive conflict. That’s also why most of the challenges were tame....she needed Krakoa to not lose in the end

      i think hickman has a specific plan for nightcrawler in mind, because if you go back like 10 issues or more, he made a very brief reference to nightcrawler finding the church on Krakoa, but we dont see much of it anymore, and in true hickman fashion i think nightcrawler has a big role to play in later issues, and thats why i think he wasnt really used much in this even

    I think you missed the point of Saturnyne. She wasn't trying to bring back the Captain Britain Corp to protect Otherworld. She had argued over it with Betsy in the past. She was performing a love potion to return her heart's champion Captain Britain Brian Braddock. That's why she was so shocked when the puzzle revealed it was Betsy. "Spellcasting is the art of directing magic with one's willpower - As such, magic is very eager to respond to the hearts of those in need. Mistake your desires for true desperation, and a spell will teach you a lesson - And magic is a harsh teacher. -- Saturnyne" - from Excalibur #15

    Spoiler warning below.
    They actually did a great job of growing up cypher some, fixed betsy's main flaw(no choice of amulet or sword). But she chose the fight and she fought an unbeatable foe with honor. Solidified her as Cpt Britain, giving brian a chance to breathe with his family for a while unless needed. Apocalypse's whole character arc from the first excalibur issue on was masterful. They rebooted his character brilliantly, he literally was the alpha and omega, creator and destroyer of the x of swords event. Wolverine saw some actual danger, felt some fear. Cable's inexperience, and lower intellect because of it, got exposed making him take the future more seriously. Storm danced with death, literally and metaphorically and escaped both times, conquering him the 2nd. Gorgon got an EPIC death on his own terms, and the chance at character rebirth down the road as a trump card for Hickman, a necessary risk for the council. I dont really know what Magik gained out of all this, someone else can prolly fill me in tho. XMEN left the council to go back on missions instead of gov stuff. Council gets new blood and storylines. GOOD new characters. Huge win in general as an event...
