I wonder what the devs think of the news about the upcoming X-Men retcon in the Giant Sized X-Men anniversary edition then? Saw a Clownfish video yesterday about Marvel sending Ms Marvel (Kamala Khan) back in time to take a big part in the Dark Phoenix Saga and House of M storylines that Marvel says will change the future of mutants forever and be made canon. They've even unveiled the cover which is a play on the original Giant Sized X-Man 1 cover with the new X-Men tearing through the cover but with Ms Marvel leading the new X-Men front and center. I fail to see why they keep trying to make such a boring character relevant somehow.
It'll be as canon for me as anything after Star Wars Episode 7. I'm sorry. We've had decades of work that stands on its own.
Anything Carol Danvers and Kamala Khan touch recently come back saltine dry. I'm a She-Ra fan - I like my empowered superwomen as much as the next person. There's good character writing and then there's whatever Marvel has been up to recently. It's telling that a mini-series comic starring Peni "Konichiha" Parker and her spider friend had me more invested than a decade of supposedly legendary marvel comics.
I would kill and die for this little guy.
Back to X-Men. I think that it would be exceptionally safe to assume that the devs can ignore this most recent run of Kamala Khan. It'll drum up some hate from Comic book oldies, contrarian antiquarians will buy it on purpose to artificially pump up numbers to show support for Kamala being Khan. Marvel will think they have something on their hands and give 250 million to EA to make a live service flop, which will make Marvel wonder what Iron Heart is up to and why she isn't working with Hulk.
The timeline will change and the X-Men franchise will begin healing...
again. In the mean time, we should enjoy what we have. I genuinely appreciate what the team here is doing rather than whatever is going on in-house at the comic book factory.
