Looks like biggest enemies of Mutantkind are gonna be the Inhumans...
Isn't that just full of metatext given how Marvel is trying to push the Inhumans to serve as the X-Men's substitutes in the cinematic universe?
And this whole thing with the Terrigen Mists is just Brian Michael Bendis levels of dumb. It's like he's still writing the X-Men.
To begin with, this idea is basically M-Day 2.0 -- i.e. a plot device that "threatens mutantkind with extinction" and prevents there being any more new mutants. It's also a plot device that only
just got resolved three years ago in "Avengers vs. X-Men."
Other reasons it's dumb as shit:
-How is it that "the Terrigen Mists aren't just killing us...they've
sterilized us as well"? If they're doing the former, the latter seems both unnecessary and somewhat untenable logistically
-Mutants aren't only born from other mutants in the first place. Why would sterilizing the mutant population prevent there from being new mutants?
-After M-Day, Terrigen Crystals were used to restore some mutants' lost powers. This plot development in which the mists are lethal to them is entirely from left field
On an unrelated note, articles like this always manage to annoy me with their inaccurate and often simply stupid commentary -- e.g. "He [Mister Sinister] was last seen in the Marvel Universe being thwarted by Spider-Man and some X-students, and then in Secret Wars on Battleworld as Baron Sinister where he all but cheated in a duel against Captain Britain."
Earth-616's Sinister was last seen being killed in "Wolverines." And the Baron Sinister from "Secret Wars" isn't the 616's Sinister.
And then there's this: "Like a lot of characters, Mr. Sinister has changed a lot over the years."
Really? No, he hasn't.
Anyway, All-New, All-Different Marvel is already a flop to me. Though I did laugh out loud at Young Jean actually asking for permission to read someone's mind for once.
Also, I'm calling it now: The Terrigen Mists killed Cyclops.
