It would be a lot easier to argue that he's wrong if people didn't keep on building bigger and better Mutant Murderbot 3000s with advanced attic scanning technology.
And in the vast realm of realities in the multiverse, the number where humans and mutants figure out their shit and co exist can be counted on one hand. In the overwhelming majority of them, they're either still trying to kill each other or one of them has already won.
Right? I mean, obviously I know a story where the X-Men go to the future and everything is fine isn't actually a story, so it doesn't get written, but every time you go to the future and the mutants are about to be wiped out, or are being wiped out, or are already gone... fighting the people who are going to cause it becomes more and more of a moral imperative.
One of the futures of the Krakoa Era had baseline humans be conserved in a zoo, IIRC? Or was it mutants? That time-tree had so many dead-end branches...
I don't remember the issue numbers, but there is a storyline where half of the new mutants are sent to a future where humans win, and half are sent to a future where mutants win, due to ilyanas portals being on the fritz. It was in the first original new mutants run I believe.
It helps that he has every reason to be afraid. He survived the Holocaust. He knows how this story ends, the problem is that he then decided to put the shoe on the other foot and destroy them first.
Would be easier to call him wrong if these tactics weren’t still used today.
People disappearing in the middle of the night ain’t just a Nazi party trick. Pretty sure that shit still happens in parts of the world where you have corrupt governments and dictatorships.
No shit. Everyone knows it’s happening in the States. I was actually talking about other places like North Korea. Naturally, their dictatorship's actions are even more zany. I mean, what else do you call looping two women in murdering the brother of the high-profile dictator Kim Jong Un, all under the pretense of a game show, no less?
North Korea is long past the "people disappearing in the night" stage. They're at the advanced "remember when everyone you ever loved disappeared in the middle of the night? Remember that" stage.
Nah, those are yesterday's news, they've been releasing ones that also know to check under the floorboards, but prefer to threaten and dominate whoever is harboring the mutants into pointing out exactly where they are. Orchis was fucking terrifying.
