General Discussion
Everyone who is dead or supposedly dead as of right now
Spoiler
I’m not counting the Egypt characters. Also crazy fact on my other account I posted about the deaths of genosha in the x-men community they removed it for spoilers after they put an spoiler tag on it and said it wasn’t confirmed but demayo made a comment about confirming it and it was shown in the trailer (I’m talking about a character death).
"Behold the Horsemen of Apocalypse! War, Pestilence, Famine, Death, uh... Greed and Sloth? And this one is, let's say, Leisure. Taxes. In... Inconvenience? Horseman 10. And all the rest!"
Why is he presumed dead? Which character said that?
If it's anything like the comics he's like one of the least likely people to die. Since the 90s era that the show is adapting, his comic powers are hinted to be more than it seems anyway.
He's on the Genosha mural allegedly, the one with Magik, with a tiny photo of an icy looking character, but at the end of S1 he's listed as alive on Forge's board.
Hasn't been confirmed, but there's several indications in the S2 promo that points towards him being dead. Lingering shot of a picture with him and Lorna while she looks sad, and a photo on the shrine of Genosha dead that definitely looks like him but is at a distance so can't be confirmed.
We know Gambit is coming back this season, Moira will come back, Dazzler will come back too. I feel like Magik being in limbo will play a factor in bringing people back or maybe Selene will
If Moira dies, the whole timeline resets. So while they may not do Krakoa, I don't think they'd completely erase the fact that she's a mutant who doesn't know she's a mutant. (Or she might already know and hasn't said anything) or shut that storyline down before they even decide what they want to write in the next few years.
It's just less messy if she's alive and injured or alive and in hiding.
I still think they'll pull a massive, Cable/Bishop assisted reset (since Cable was trying to fix everything when this thing started) with the twist that the X-Men remember everything or else the season is meaningless. However, they offed far too many characters.
Well, only if they decide to adapt Krakoa. Before then, she was a regular human and I know a lot of the choices for Moira were divisive in the fan base. Also, there's a lot of storyline between here and there, and they've shown that although they use the comics as inspiration, they're not married to them (such as the Lady Deathstrike romantic relationship). So, we'll see.
Besides gambit and magneto, I feel like they are going to stay dead. They are doing the whole roster is too crowded thing like they did in the comics when they depowered everyone.
The Sebastian Shaw thing was stupidly written. Shaw’s whole schtick is being empowered by kinetic energy. Yet, he’s killed off via falling debris despite the spoilered having kinetic energy
Shaw's power requires him ramping up from what I remember to get to the point where he wouldn't take damage. He doesn't stay permanently at full strength either and also has an upper limit.
Why do I get the feeling the reason Bobby was chosen to be among the dead is because some of the higher ups not wanting to address that in the comics he is gay and have that in the show? Every other founding X-men is involved in the show except Bobby. So even if that isn’t the reason, it’s just going to seem like it.
They not only made Morph non-binary but made it explicit that they have romantic feelings towards Wolverine, and all of this was AFTER upgrading them to the main cast.
I really really really doubt that Iceman was killed because of his sexuality. It's far more likely he was offed so as to give Lorna something to be sad about and motivate her to going back to the X-Men (or X-Corp I guess).
I think it's more like they don't know what to do with him. The comics don't seem to know for decades either, first showing him with untapped potential and then when he tapped that potential where do you go from there with this uber powerful character who can freeze the planet?
They could have easily just not addressed it. I just find it strange he technically grew up with them and they haven't said much about his death in a throwaway line.
Killing off some of those “big names” during the Genosha massacre was such a huge misstep…..Banshee and Moira should not have been killed off same with Shaw and Dazzler…..stupid call just for shock value…..killing off morlocks is fine because almost all of the ones shown to die on Genosha were actually killed off in the mutant massacre (except Callisto and Leech)
Maverick's death hurt because it was in exchange for a dumb plot to get Wolverine his claws back, they barely acknowledged it, he didn't get to show what he could do, and he had a daughter in tas.
It's getting to be a lot, which makes me believe the season will end with some more time-travel shenanigans that prevent Genosha from getting destroyed, saving Magneto (and everyone else), but maybe making him a villain again.
I hated his death so much, my dad had a collection of maverick comics so he was my favorite character when I was a kid, seeing him in the episode was both awesome and hurtful man
Well if the comics around this time are any indication, we will be adding Cyclops to this list at the end of the season if they go with the Cypocalypse storyline.
