"We...we lose?" "No, it's much worse than that. *We always lose.* " That dialogue is so impactful that its one of the few dialogues in this long storyline that I never forgot about.

[@Tikimohn]

Most of my favortice come from Apocalypse being a boss but Nightcrawlers "when you wake from this earthly slumber, look for me my friend. I'll be there" hits hard every time for me.

"Dawn of X manages to feel both astonishingly varied, yet uncannily consistent." I see what you did there.

[@justingoers]

Hickman’s refresh of the X-men came at crucial time and made me fall in love with the mutants all over again. It’s sooooooo good even if I don’t always understand all of it or agree with every moment. Claremont / Morrison / Hickman. So good.

[@PainKiller0247]

[@mayotango1317]

The problem is that Hickman turn them into Inhumans jerks.

[@joeclarke7982]

​@@mayotango1317 it's just unfortunate we didn't get to see how Hickman would've actually ended his story

[@sosmooth13]

Same. They needed it bad. Seemed like stories in between were mid-to-bad. Especially after taking a back seat to inhumans for a second there. This was what I wanted to see from this group. Them coming together like this was the most badass and inspiring thing at times.

I blame editorial for this too. Once the line became revitalized they didn't want to trust the process and let Hickman do his thing.

[@Subject_Keter]

For me, i blame all the Writers he brought along... They seem to do whatever they wanted letting the quality slip and doing stuff that wasnt planned or would tie in.

[@TheKaijudist]

@@Subject_Keter Hickman wanted the other writers to be empowered. His original vision for his adjectiveless X-Men series was to be a travelogue that just set up prompts that other writers could run with

[@christopherbennett5858]

@@TheKaijudistI’d say that there’s some really good writers in the office. Victor Lavelle’s Sabretooth trilogy is looking good and made me like the character. Hellions was wild. Immortal has been pretty great along with Legion of X. Heck, even X corp was good

[@MichaelBoogerd]

It's a shame once Hickman left that the incumbent writers couldn't really nail the quality in the same way this video does! What a recap! Excellent.

[@ForEveryKindofGeek]

It's an interesting phenomenon, I don't think it's a lack of quality as much as a lack of a big-picture vision linking it all together. I've kept up with a lot of the ongoing series and I like what each one is doing, but without the bigger story carrying everything it feels like the line is a bit stagnant. I'm hoping Sins of Sinister is the first step towards them bouncing back from that.

[@thefiveo344]

@@ForEveryKindofGeek Now with Sins of Sinister out, I’m glad we are heading towards the endgame Nimrod saga. I can’t wait for it all to build up to Nimrod event. I think they’ll title it Age of Nimrod or something like that.

This video just popped up on my feed. and I could not be happier. This was an excellent overview of Hickmans X-men and really cleared it up and made it easy to follow. It was this run that literally got me back in Marvel and X-men books overall. I love the direction and now I am getting ready to read the whole A.X.E. storyline. And I can not wait to see the outcome and its effect on the future of mutants. Lastly I have now subscribed to your channel to what else ya got and my suscribing is soley based on this video alone. Thanks for an excellent video.

This was a masterclass of a youtube retrospective. The editing and script were beautifully handled. Looking forward to this channels growth.

[@TekTr0niK]

To raise black children away from the hate of the world. For the dream of Krakoa I would pay any price. Wonderful series of essays! Loved Hickman's era and was really sad about his leaving. I jumped off of all X-Men titles after Inferno (I lost all confidence once the writers turned Moira into a robot. Destroying a character that was incredibly and beautifully reimagined) but thank you so much for reminding me of what a great ride those initial 2 and some change years were. You've made me realize that I shouldn't be sad that Hickman's vision spiraled into garbage under the hands of lesser creatives but to be thankful really that House and Powers of X even happened at all. That, for a moment, Hickman allowed us to see beyond the tired status quo of Mutant in-fighting in the face of global hate towards a world of new exciting united possibilities. Even as a motley crew. Even knowing conflict amongst such a wildly diverse, and often adversarial, group of mutants with drastically different views of what mutant sovereignty should/could be was inevitable. He gave me hope. He gave me Magneto, Xavier, and Apocalypse at a United Nations meeting being straight bosses. He gave me the Summers family as a beautiful slightly broken but ultimately loving family (INCLUDING Wolverine!). I never thought I'd ever see that. He gave me Emma as the hardcore badass mover and shaker that I've loved her as...but on the world stage. He gave me hard sci-fi universe building with the Phalanx. The mother effing Phalanx! It was the most exciting X-Men has been in a long long time. I can't see myself coming back to X-Men now that the quality is wildly inconsistent and the cohesion of overall story is in shambles. The greed of the X office to mine this resurgence as hard and as fast as humanly possible, flooding the market with mediocre X-titles that readers really couldn't keep up with or afford, at the expense of the universe is really what destroyed this era. With that being said, what an exhilarating read that initial reboot was. Excellent content.

[@Sklz711]

Never comment on anything, but this is great. One video subscribe here. I enjoyed the art choices and information as well as the cuts and edits. Only constructive criticism would be the audio cues on the panel pop-ins (sounds like a little bit of feedback or static) was a bit distracting on my admittedly poor audio set-up in current form, but a cool idea that fits the theming. As long as this video is I'd watch it all over again at some point down the line as a super cut with even more examination and detail, perhaps about some of the historical X-Men connections Hickman was riffing on at key parts. Fantastic work!

[@rattlethecages]

Yep the crackle sound effects used in transitions became way too frequent and distracting. It’s like Lucas with his wipe cuts.

[@dominiqueodom3099]

This is the Comic Book run that truly showed me just how Terrible the Fox Adaptions of the Xmen really are. The amount of Characters that not only have interesting Powers/costumes but interesting storylines and specifically how different the mutants are compared to the other Superheros

[@ForEveryKindofGeek]

I wouldn’t say one is better than the other, more link different flavors of a great concept. I really like how grounded some of the fox movies feel, but at the same time I love it when someone like Hickman or Morrison takes a concept and spins it in a whole other direction. Just goes to show you how much range these ideas have!

[@JonGarcia]

I feel they started out alright, but then the studio pushed star power over story and essentially began repeating the same story themes with haphazard continuity. The world of mutants is much bigger than just Xavier, Magneto, Mystique, and Wolverine. Also, after 2 disastrous attempts at the Dark Phoenix Saga, which I adore the source, I'm not sure it should be attempted again. I'm curious to see if the Feige will start with or lead to the concepts of Hickman's Krakoa era. Regardless, plenty of stories to pull from or reinvent within the state of the MCU.

You think the Krakoan era is the best era ever? Wow, I rarely seen that being said, it’s overwhelmingly said to be the worst era in X-Men history, that’s why the sales are so bad. I’d expect someone born in the ‘00’s to say that, but not someone born in ‘75, wow.

Great video and editing. I will say though as some constructive criticism, that the constant background music (perhaps a tad too loud) and crackle effects when panels phase in and out gets a bit much after a while.

It’s all the same series of events. Imagine Days of future past in looping form, with Moira as the main character instead of Kitty.

[@LUMLUMLEELUM]

@@ForEveryKindofGeek thank you. Although it's not clear to me in days of future past either. It's just confusing that Moriarty told Xavier all of it before he formed the x-men so wouldn't they not do everything they did?

Maybe this is a stretch but I feel like there are historical parallels between Krakoa and the real world Communist experiments namely USSR and Mao’s China. Nations established with good intentions and for justifiable reasons, but due to external attacks and infiltrations, internal conflicts of interest, and stacking ethical errors, eventually crumbled or morphed into a twisted behemoth of their original founding ideals. In the end, we all know the status quo will be re-established for the X-Books. My only hope is that it ends in a manner that doesn’t discredit the importance of oppressed people’s right to self-determinism and the struggle for autonomy.
