      ​@Quandryification The word “apocalypse” comes from the Greek word apocalupsis which means “revealing, disclosure, to take off the cover.
      It was always Revelation.

      I honestly wish Marvel does an Anthology series about him. How he goes back to being the Apocalypse we knew before, and the conflicting dichotomy between him now and him before. And I would love to see stories about his journey from Ancient Egypt going forward.

    Hickman known for disliking the MCU. And the main reason for that is because comics are inspired by movies and not the other way around.
    So him creating the "Krakoa era" was because he wanted make something special, something different, something that would inspire the future movies and comics for ages to come. And it was so beautiful!!
    And now, seeing how it's all end... man, I don't know if there is enough words to describe my disappointment and frustration!

      That type of reasoning is kinda weird since most of the stuff from the MCU is barely original. It’s a patching of the different comic series. But I agree with him that the trend of comic trying to capitalize on the success of the MCU by recycling content already recycled from comic is beyond silly and lazy.

    The absolute mishandling of this entire X men run after 2021 needs to be studied. Its shocking Marvel didnt either pay Jonathan Hickman enough or couldnt be bothered to find someone willing to game his story out to its natural end.
    This was arguably a bigger disappointment than one more day.

    • @kei2kei
      @kei2kei 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +15

      Hickman was not really meant to stay that long; he was meant to revitalize the interest in the X-men. And he did so successfully. But when you let the comics editorial be overridden by the MCU bigwigs (even if they are comic fans/enthusiasts), this is what happens. This has happened before. With Claremont. With Byrne. With Busiek. Even with Morrison. The SIDE that makes the most money dictates the evolution of the other side.
      But yes, I agree, it is a disappointment. But not as much as Spider-man: One More Day.

    I have been an X-Men fan and reader since the 80s. At some point in the 2000’s I stopped reading them. Then when I heard Hickman was going to be writing them I jumped back onboard for House and Powers and was blown away. It was the best the X-Men had been in years. Then at some point I lost interest. It still saddens me to see this era come to an end. Hickman definitely made me fall back in love with the X-Men.

    I used to stay up late all night reading Spider-Man when I was a kid, but as time went on and I grew up, I started to pay attention to other things in life.
    Now I'm turning 30 and I'm so glad guys like you are out there now - I would never have the guts to pick up and follow through all these comics nowadays, but listening to your contageously enthusiastic retelling is a joy when I get back home!
    You really helped me recapture some of that wonder and marvel (no pun intended) I thought I'd lost, almost two full decades ago.

I bailed on the entire "Fall of X" business and I'm not proud of it, but at the same time, it is self-care at this point. Because I have zero faith that Mickey Rat will ever show even a *tenth* of the respect Beau DeMayo did the characters and setting for _X-Men 97._ None. Their whole track record is that the MCU promotes ONE guy per film, literally, with ensembles being reduced to CGI set pieces and Quips-a-Million. A TEAM franchise is alien as fuck to the House of Mouse. They can't even do a team of Disney Princesses. They literally fired DeMayo before his cartoon aired.

      @@bradleypoe6846 I think it is a bit more complicated then that. Disney managed to turn Marvel from a failing studio into a actual powerhouse with the MCU.
      I think the issue was that after they let the Russo Brothers cook and concluded with Endgame. A bunch of contracts expired, the Russo brothers left, Stan Lee died. And so all the brain/acting power houses buggered off leaving Disney to try and recreate something just as good with none of the resources that allowed the MCU to get that big to begin with.
      I suspect that a combination of BlackRock toomfoolery, braindrain, and people retiring have lead to Marvel just turning out dogwater after dogwater series since then. It's not going to get any better until it all goes under like in the early 1990's and Disney drops them.

    Krakoa could have gone as a permanent age and home for the xmen. So many more stories could have bean told on a continental level ,it was such a good settings and so enjoyable . They could have leveled the xmen up to not just defenders of mutant kind but as one of many branches of security for the the island on a national government level. In a similar way that the Avengers are both earths warriors but mostly america . I kind of get it tho, its hard to silo the xmen stories off from the rest of marvel universe if they are such a big player in geo politics .

Look at stories like "The Twelve" and "Age of Apocalypse" even "Blood of Apocalypse" he has been consistent until Hickman decided he wanted to recon the character. I also hated the fact they turned Beast (one of the most beloved Xmen into a villain)! They ended up reconning that also, but why do it? People love these characters how they are, most of us fans do anyways, but when Marvel decides to recon the background to characters that you love, it makes you non interested in even reading the comics.

    The ending feels like Marvel trying have its cake and eat it too. Krakoa has a happy ending but the X-Men can never have it. Also, they were just too much plotholes. What happened to the Four? Are they even alive? Will they go back to the White Hot Room? If that place is paradise, what use do they need for resurrection? I honestly love that the Fall of X started with the consequences of Krakoan's extreme actions, like literally punishing a mutant with the same fate as sabertooth for vandalism but ur right, they really did screw the pooch with this one

If anything it looks like most mutants are gone, leaving with Krakoa and only the main mutants stayed.

    Man... I really loved that speech from Kafka, because it addresses the fundamental flaw behind Apocalypse's philosophy: "Social Darwinism" completely misunderstands the evolutionary concept of "survival of the fittest". As Kafka explains, it's not about being physically fit - it's about being fit for your environment. What makes you the top dog in one environment may leave you to struggle in another or if your environment changes over time, and changing a single variable can turn that entire ecosystem around you on its head.
    That moment could have been a great character moment for Apocalypse. Not as an immediate turnaround, but after some time. At first he'd probably still scoff at it and leave the youngsters to their "delusion" and run off to do his own thing - but when he attempts his next crusade and the X-Men effortlessly manage to avoid any collateral damage (despite him still very much wrecking them), he may start to consider that line of thinking...
    Sadly with how decisively he shut it down here, that doesn't seem likely.

    • @rabumalal
      @rabumalal 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I take side with apocalypse here. Kafka's point is that if everyone is altruist like i am, then as a "we" we change the context so that context fit us so that powerful work can be done by a group of people, but it can only happen when everyone helps you with context. What happens when you cannot change context? when you live in earth instead of the white hot room and other people contexts clashes with you? Apocalypse answer that he would beat other contexts out of his own might, his survival is not to be snuffed but to thrive by your own by your own might, basically if every mutant learns to really fend for themselves and develop their knowledge , they can grow the context out of their own might. So he beat but didn't kill exodus, adjusted and didn't kill kafka, he took the time to pain everyone in a different way, because they have yet work to do. When you can not only survive but thrive in any environment(including mental), which would include defending yourself, you become Apocalypse ubermensch, which is basically become a better you ion every aspect, and your work is not done yet, so painful encouragement

    • @SKy_the_Thunder
      @SKy_the_Thunder 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@rabumalal "Changing context" doesn't just mean some magic reality warping. It's the main survival strategy of humanity. We altered our environments across the entire planet to the point where natural selection doesn't even apply to us anymore. We have entirely replaced the original context with our own and continue to change it - both physically (moving entire mountains, connecting oceans, etc.) and socially (healthcare, global communication & trade, etc.).
      Kafka's point is not "everyone should be a goody-two-shoes with no care in the world", but that in the world as it exists today, the raw domineering power Apocalypse worships isn't the most useful trait. A functional and resilient society has a much wider reach, and through cooperation can easily accomplish feats that would be hard even for an exceptional individual - so working as part of it rather than against it is the much more beneficial trait to have.
      Apocalypse's approach is "everyone for themselves" - which is easy to say if you're functionally immortal, have vast knowledge of advanced Celestial technologies and the abilities to magic those into existence. But everyone else is stronger if they can contribute to and benefit from the shared strength of a society, instead of living alone in the woods, struggling to survive all by themselves. That even goes for super-powered individuals.
      And yeah, making sure that society doesn't get complacent, corrupt and weak is a valid concern. Kafka said as much when he assured Apocalypse that his ideals are still a strong foundation to be inspired by. But there are far more efficient ways to ensure that than to occasionally beat up individuals. If anything that's more in like with the traits that can corrupt and weaken a society...
      The environment has changed, but Apocalypse refuses to adapt to the new conditions, which - ironically - is a pretty poor survival strategy. And it frankly shows in how much the X-Men treat it as a temper tantrum. His ideology is going extinct.

      Because people are getting tired of DC and Marvel making all their iconic villains into anti heroes. We need villains, they make for some of the best characters. It's more epic when they are defeated by the hero. The villain is suppose to represent your obstacles in life, and the hero represents you getting over those obstacles, and that is why most people love to see the hero go up against an EVIL villain, not an anti hero... Also, how much anti heroes do we need?
