Moira went from such an interesting character after HOUSE OF X, looking at her from a completely different perspective from what we'd been used to, to going on to be yet another basic mustache-twirling villain who wants to destroy mutant kind.

Someone upload a virus into that woman.

Uh

What the fuck.

Miora is a fucking robot now? And are they actually gonna have her kill and skin MJ to get into the Hellfire Gala?

HAVE THEY LOST THERE FUCKING MINDS WHAT IS THIS SHIT!?!?!?!?

Seriously though, wtf have they done to Moira?

current Maximoff pet theory

Everyone knows the retcon is stupid. So let’s explain it away!

Why cut the Maximoffs off from Krakoa? Because little Luna Maximoff knows when someone is being mind-controlled and shows possible signs of precognition. (I think that was just everyone forgetting what her powers are/how they work, but I’m willing to go with it.) Let her visit even once, and the jig is up.

This could’ve been solved by manipulating things so that Luna appears to be someone else’s daughter, but that would have caused (1) Pietro to immediately flip his shit, (2) Wanda to immediately flip her shit, and (3) Medusa to immediately flip her shit, and (4) a paternity test, which would have revealed the manipulation.

So, really, manipulating things so that Wanda and Pietro appear to not be Magneto’s kids was the easier way to keep Luna and her powers away from Krakoa.

Who’s doing the manipulating? Not Magneto. Xavier doesn’t have that kind of power on his own, but he has telepathy and zero qualms about using said telepathy to fuck with/up anybody he pleases. (War hero and king of a sovereign nation Namor. Magneto. His own students. Himself. Every woman he’s ever dated, apparently.  And so on.)

So my current pet theory is that, in the original timeline, the retcon didn’t happen, Luna visited Aunt Lorna on Krakoa and said, “Hey, there’s mind control spores in everyone’s brains?!” and started fighting spores, alerted her dad and other heroes, and that was the end of Krakoa. It took like an hour.

Xavier and Moira hated that. Xavier and Moira put together a small team of mutants including someone with time travel powers, someone with heavy-duty reality-warping or manipulation powers, and someone to troubleshoot whatever fuckups the first two might cause, and then sent them back in time to prevent Luna Maximoff from ever visiting Krakoa. Thus, the retcon.

Remutanting Heroes

Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch, Squirrel Girl, Cloak and Dagger, and recently Franklin Richards. All characters that have had their long time Mutant status stripped from them.

I know the meta reason was to make them useable in the MCU before the Fox buy out but now with the latest retcon of Franklin’s status by a very cruel Xavier after decades of stories leads me to think that they are trying to build a way back into the mutant fold.

I think they are going to make it so that the Krackoa trio are masking certain problematic Mutants. The ones that have strong  ties to the non mutant world. The ones who might be to strong or to resistant to whatever Moira’s end game is.

This is the best theory about all the non-mutant retcons that I’ve seen! I would be so happy if this happened! I did think that it was pretty suspicious when X-gene masking was brought up in that Franklin comic too. And I love the idea of long time mutants being “revealed” to be mutates until they figure out what’s going on. And the Rejectx is such a good name for them! But I do gotta say.... the minute you put Wanda and Franklin on the same team...anyone they go up against is dead. 

that's it, that's the post.
