User banned (1 month): Thread Derailment and Hostility Over Multiple Posts, Accumulated Infractions
Look how triggered you are. Just ignore my comment if it irritates you. It feels like you're all a hair's breadth away from personally insulting me at this point, and I bet if it wasn't ban worthy you'd be doing it.
"It's too early to post replies to an argument I ostensibly don't want to have, so instead, let me continue to post replies to an argument I ostensibly don't want to have."
Your plan continues to not be well thought out, my friend.
The former is on my list, I just defaulted to Psylocke instead of Captain Britain.
Oh shi.... having a villain with all black would be cool.
Haha first thing I thought, Sword from the punch dimension, it's like poetry.
Will they bring back Silver Samurai? He is dead but I guess story-reasons could mean he returns.
Needs to be built like a Beam Katana from No More Heroes. Capped off so it doesn't extend infinitely, except with a ruby quartz lens...
Then give it a button that raises that lens. Punching sword.
Jesus, this is a discussion board. You came in and called Hickman's work on the X-books derivative, people asked you to back it up, which is a totally normal request on a discussion board, and you refused. Now you are calling people triggered? Not a great look.
i feel like you should turn in for the night, cool off a bit
Fucking hell.
Alright. When it isn't 2:38 am and I've got time on Sunday (because i'm working all day tomorrow) I'll summarise why I think that. If you still give a crap of course and I actually remember.
This is a damn comic book series but here you are coming at me over a trivial comment. Get a damn grip.
Kenuichio was a mutant, so he'll come back to life at some point.
Both Kwannon and Betsy are skilled with a sword, so they could both go on the list.
Hopefully, I guess there's a second Silver Samurai but I associate the name with the original.
If that's not already confusing enough, having Psylocke and Betsy both together in an issue where Betsy isn't called Psylocke.
People are curious as to what works Hickman's own are apparently derivative of. There's nothing wrong with asking for receipts, and the only person getting up in arms over this is you.
Let me state something quite clearly: My comment was trivial. I didn't bother explaining it because I've gone over Hickman's run in other threads. I enjoy his work, but as I said I don't find this run wholly original and feel it's retreading things I've encountered before.
I can promise you on the lives of my family that I am not up in arms. I don't have a "plan". I'm not intentionally stirring things up. I simply don't feel strongly enough to give detailed explanations BECAUSE I STILL ENJOY HIS WORK! Just putting that in capitals so it's a bit clearer.
I like Hickman's approach to comic book storytelling, especially when he has a chance to flex his muscles. But the x-men as they are in this moment aren't the pinnacle of Hickman originality. I'm reading for the stuff to come because I'm expecting his plan to unfold with time. That's what I expect from him and what I like.
I just got back from work and I'm really tired but I'm awake enough to ask you if you thought you saw yourself as the most reasonable person here when you used to word "triggered"?
Hell, I'll go as far as to say you were digging yourself a hole the moment you thought your first post in this thread was something NOT to be talked about in a discussion board. It's like shooting a flamethrower in a cave full of boxes of TNT and hoping for no explosion.
"Krakoa's defenses are finite, my x-men, so in response to escalating human aggressions i'm tapping into a new, seemingly limitless source of power. They call it... Kingdom Hearts"
This looks really stupid in a fun way. I love Hickman and what he's up to though, so I'm not worried.
I don't feel like the X-books, while I'm enjoying them (minus Excalibur and Fallen Angels which I dropped), haven't really lived up to the greatness of House/Powers so far. Only Marauders imo really stands out. Hopefully Hickman recaptures some of that energy for this event.
He's one of the sidekicks from Children of the Atom.
All this talk about Scott's Lightsaber, and no mention of Storm's Lightning Saber ...
I hope all the swords are a part of Nightcrawler's religion
hickman is clearly building up to something. It's just so good. Keep reading it.
I recommend that and new mutants.
Yeah, there's no chance that's Valkyrie's sword is it? I haven't been reading that book.
Did Marvel forget that they own Silver Samurai?
Also, I want Sword Master involved in this crossover. I don't care how.

Would such a sword even be able to cut things? Would be more like a staff I'd think. Would be hilarious
If you are that emotionally reactive then discussions are impossible, which is par for the course in this "discussion forum". With regards to the subject matter: I've elaborated on my opinions before only to be subjected to a barrage of ego driven "this is why you are wrong" statements with the only way to stop it being to stop engaging.
From my perspective there is no hole that has been dug. People here have got themselves into a state based on what they subjectively perceive to the point where there is zero point in me saying anything further. I could have expanded on what I thought if given a little bit more time and a display from others that they were willing to listen but the reaction was immediately negative to a degree that surprised even me.
The "open to discussion" is nothing but a thin facade. It's mostly ego driven subjectivity. Any "discussion" has to be carefully crafted to avoid that minefield, which has the result of the discussion not being open at all.
People can believe I'm a trolling piece of shit all they like. That's in their heads. Their assumptions will not retroactively rewrite my intentions.
It would, but it'd be a really messy cut. It would basically work like an energy chainsaw, cutting whatever it made contact with through the motion of the energy surging from the beam's hilt to its cap.
Transcending history and the world, a tale of souls and swords.
We are talking about Hickman, he is going to blow our minds at the same time everything makes perfect sense.
The X-men have been the best they have been in ages, truly is exciting to get new stuff every Wednesday and discuss with you guys.

It's somewhat ambiguous, which makes it all the more interesting. He's a "good guy" in that he lives in Krakoa, which is a nation by mutants for mutants. All mutants were given amnesty on Krakoa and allowed to start fresh, to build a place and a future for mutantkind. Of course, when you have characters like Apocalypse and Mister Sinister and Omega Red and Mystique all together with mutant children and then a bunch of superheroes, it seems unlikely that everything will be peaceful indefinitely...
Apocalypse has always wanted a survival of the fittest nation. Krokoa is basically what he has been trying to accomplish.
You know what, sure, why not.
Marvel Unveils X-Men Comic Event ‘X of Swords’
The 15-part storyline, announced at Chicago's C2E2, will begin this July.www.hollywoodreporter.com
"Headlined by Jonathan Hickman, the writer behind last year's relaunch, X of Swords will see 10 particular mutants rise to the defense of the mutant nation of Krakoa, each armed with what Marvel is calling "legendary blades, both new and familiar ones from Marvel history.""
Pronounced 'Ten of Swords.'
15 issues, apparently.
This is a goddamn RPG and I'm okay with that.
This artwork reminds me of those X-Men fleer cards that came out when I was a kid.Just an introduction to
Logan's appearance on the cover made me realize...where's Laura at, these days? Still hanging with her own younger clone and co.?
Xavier and Magneto know Sinister would be doing stupid shit to try and subvert them anyways, so they figure they can keep a better eye on him from close-up (lol)
Apocalypse seems to be chill (at the moment, at least) - as this 'Mutant rule' is what he's wanted, at least to some degree.
Mystique would be chill if they just let Destiny come back! (which would then bring another host of problems onto the whole situation)
But for real, I'm curious on if they actually end up putting anyone else in the same 'jail' as they did to Sabretooth - that's some super dark shit.
It's a sword from the punch dimension!
