These panels that I’m reading from Cable 11 are *foul* and I won’t be continuing on with this book. Here’s why...
The Arakki have been portrayed as being led, and largely populated by ancient black mutants. Mutants that fought for millennia to hold back a demon horde, all so Charles could kiss human bum for his whole lifetime.
And when the Arakko / Krakoa divide was established I CALLED this bullshit. I literally said my nightmare would be Arakko being used as the island of “bad mutants” that would facilitate a reconciliation of humans and the “moderate” Krakoans. https://twitter.com/vanthefirst/status/1322299830996246528">https://twitter.com/vanthefir...
And here it fucking is. A panel where cyclops patronises about bringing these mutants to order, filled with police. And then, even worse, Humans applauding Cyclops and Cable for publicity violently bringing fellow mutants to heel.
Do you know how sickening that second panel is?

The only reason there IS a krakoa is because those same humans exterminate mutants in every timeline.
These are steps to reclaim the central mutant metaphor for liberal white centrists who see it as their job to control angry radicals. Y’kno like them rioters at BLM.

The worst is that it establishes Krakoans as the self appointed police for the other island. How the fuck you gonna make mutants the feds???
What the avengers do to Krakoans, Krakoans are doing to Arakki.
This is 4d tapdancing.

Oh, here’s a panel where Cable hands an unconscious mutant woman to A HUMAN POLICE OFFICER.
I’m sorry but this reeks of whiteness. The police force of your genocidal oppressor just being a benign background presence??? In THIS year. A steaming pile of shit tbh.

This is the scene where Cable influences the police to change their perception. Why didn’t he just do this to all the humans so they didn’t get to watch mutant conflict??
Instead he “cuts loose” and blasts mutants he’s trying to “integrate”, all to human applause!???

What the fuck is the emotional pay-off here meant to be as they brutalise and humiliate the “othered” mutants to the glee of the humans eradicating them???
Fuck this book. Cable ain’t even cool like that. I hope Isca spins their wig.
