You should do a story how bs the new dc Justice League is. And how u can watch the first part for free then u have to pay 20 bucks for the second. Like that's ridiculous. I was looking forward to watching the part 2 on Amazon prime. But why is it making people pay for the second part and not the full thing. That's literally bs just saying.

Second Coming was always my favorite X-Men story. It was like an X-Men version of Avengers: Endgame with the way the stakes were cranked to 11. I also like that it felt as though it was written like it was meant to be the last X-Men story to be told

This is Rogue's 2nd (or 3rd) time actually absorbing numerous mutant powers simultaneously and fighting Nimrod. Uncanny X-Men 194 she took Colossus, Nightcrawler and Kitty Prides powers and took on Nimrod when he was hunting Juggernaut. Then again in Uncanny X-Men 204, but that could be seen as a continuation of the fight.

Rob has never been more accurate when he says..... and that's when the killing starts.. 4:45

[@vginsprdsobepr9698]

Wow! This was amazing! I really like Cyclops when he adopts the kill if necessary mentality. The Wolverine and Rouge surviving the explosion with Wolverine’s healing factor was really cool artistically. Nightcrawler is a great priest. I think his sacrifice says tons about his character. I think Hope has healing powers and can augment the powers of others so I’m sure she could have helped Nightcrawler have more strength.

To be fair, the Heroes Don't Kill rule is more of a DC thing. Most Marvel Heroes have a body count. I'm pretty sure all of the X-Men have pretty high body counts.

[@AManChoosesASlaveObeys]

Mostly X-men don't kill Humans because of the Xavier initiative. They can kill other mutants if need to, but Humans would just give them more sticks to the fire. That's why Nightcrawler was horrified.

Second Coming is probably my favorite X-Men crossover of all time (way better than any in Krakoa honestly) the build up and payoff was superb everything was clicking at that moment story wise across the X books. Killing in this story and X-Force felt justified mutants were nearly extinct after M-Day and had their backs against the wall. Scott/Logan had no other choice, Logan kept X-Force after this. I honestly can’t recommend this story enough if you haven’t read it go read it and come back before the video. This is also during the Utopia Era which is the best era of X-Men in my mind.

I wholeheartedly agree that the 2000s marked one of the peak periods for the X-Men franchise. During this era, Disney, eager to acquire the X-Men from Fox, attempted to downplay their significance by minimizing their presence in comics. This led to Cyclops being portrayed as a villain, inadvertently creating one of the most compelling versions of the character in comic book history. While many perceive him as a villain, I view him as a dedicated leader who made tough decisions for the sake of his people.
