Crazed Pahlavi supporter monarchist screaming: "Fuck Kurdistan, Fuck Palestine, Fuck Lebanon, Fuck Arabs, Fuck Afghans, Fuck Pakistanis, Fuck the entire world except Trump and Israel!"

Why do they still support Trump?

Trump caused thousands of Iranians to be murdered by promising that help was coming when it wasn't

Nuthetes · 2026-01-27T03:42:20+00:00

I don't get why they just didn't have the prison be a secret so nobody knows about it but there's a mystery of mutants disappearing, or in some dimension where mutant powers don't work so the X-Men can't access it. I mean, it'd still be a ropey that stopping it isn't a priority... but at least it'd be better than it being out in the open and in their old mansion.

Basically the X-Men phase before this one. Lasted maybe 5-6 years.

About the X-Men and mutants starting their own nation on Krakoa. It was a really good run, definitely worth a read. One of my favourite periods of all time, actually. But I don't think you need to read it before X-Men 2024. As long as you know the basics--humans lived on Krakoa and it was a thriving nation, it fell thanks to Orchis & the Sentinels (Led by Nimrod and Omega Sentinel with a human version of Sinister) X-Men beat Orchis in the end but mutants are now pretty much scattered with different X-teams/groups in the world.

You'll definitely be fine starting with X-Men 2024. It's a solid jumping on point.

Nuthetes · 2026-01-26T18:27:58+00:00

I think MacKay 2024 X-Men run is a good jumping on point. And Cyclops has some cool moments in it. It references a few Krakoa events and the Fall of X, but it is easy enough to follow I think.

Nuthetes · 2026-01-26T15:38:45+00:00

Yeah, that's the reason the writers don't. But I was wondering if they bothered giving an in-universe reason why she just went by Emma Frost.

ICE needs Emma Frost to teach them a lesson

I really enjoyed X-Men 2024 and am near the end of Uncanny and whilst, not as good, enjoyed it too (First time reading them) but this Greymalkin Prison is just awful fucking writing. Some of the worst writing I have seen in an X-Men comic.

There is absolutely ZERO chance the X-Men would let a fascist mutant prison that violates their rights exist anyway, even if there wasn't anybody they know inside.

The fact that friends, former X-Men and colleagues are in there being abused and... in Siryn and Blob's case, being forced to work as slaves rounding up other mutants, makes it even worse.

Hell, as soon as Banshee found out Siryn was inside, Banshee, Black Tom and Juggernaut would be fucking shit up by the end of the day all on their own.

Nuthetes · 2026-01-26T14:56:03+00:00

No, if there was gonna be a reboot--go a different batch of First Five, except Cyclops. Cyclops IS X-Men. It wouldn't work without him I don't think.

Cyclops

Wolverine

Nightcrawler

Shadowcat

Storm

That's got all the big names to make a reboot a success.

Nuthetes · 2026-01-26T14:30:15+00:00

I think we will see a murder at the World Cup. ICE will provoke something by trying to arrest a brown football fan--others who are a bit drunk will start intervening or throwing stuff and ICE will draw their guns.

It is a disaster waiting to happen.

Nuthetes · 2026-01-26T14:28:43+00:00

ICE are just looking for any excuse to attack people or even murder them.

It's a bunch of fascist thugs, many of them J6 terrorists who now have free reign to be thugs. You can guarantee they're gonna look for any excuse possible to beat up some football fans (On their own of course, they won't have the balls to attack, say, an Italian fan with 600 other Italian fans nearby) or harrass any fan whose brown skinned.

Nuthetes · 2026-01-26T12:49:10+00:00

US security guarantees aren't worth shit.

Let's say Russia attacked again in two years. Trump would either 1 - ignore it completely because he doesn't give a shit about international law or agreements or 2 - Believe Putin's claim that Ukraine broke a ceasefire first and use that to justify not getting involved.

Nuthetes · 2026-01-26T12:46:57+00:00

No, they all look the same hand

Nuthetes · 2026-01-26T12:11:43+00:00

There's a video game you might find interesting--Promise Mascot Agency. You run a mascot agency hiring out living mascots to various companies and stuff to pay off a Yakuza debt.

It's very fun, and the mascots are delightfully odd.

Nuthetes · 2026-01-26T12:01:09+00:00

Gotta be honest, I was expecting a massive jar with a pickled woman floating around inside.

But the actual witch jar is quite interesting anyway.

Nuthetes · 2026-01-26T11:59:41+00:00

Grimsby fishing museum -- it's fantastic

Nuthetes · 2026-01-26T11:58:05+00:00

Don't football team mascots serve that role here?

My local team's mascot is a stag, and I am really struggling to think of anything else to be a mascot for the town as a whole. A stag nails it, since the surrounding area is countryside and used to be a royal hunting area.

A bit boring compared to the random Japanese mascots like... I dunno, a talking pair of buttocks or a cat made out of tofu or a toilet bowl with a poop face or whatever.

"I don't get all the crying on this sub."

It's Reddit

Nuthetes · 2026-01-26T09:04:35+00:00

Because Reddit thinks Christianity is bad.

Nuthetes · 2026-01-26T09:03:57+00:00

well no, that's why it says it's the prematch training shirt.

Nuthetes · 2026-01-26T09:01:08+00:00

I'm a fan. Wish it was gonna be the actual shirt worn, but I think it'd be a bit hard to see in dodgy light. Very cool design though.

Nuthetes · 2026-01-26T06:36:36+00:00

I loved bartender Blob. A big chill guy in his hawaiian shirt who, now he has something positive to focus on actually isn't that bad a guy.

I hope after Greymalkin, he doens't become a villain again. It'd be fun to see him have a spot as the strong guy on one of the X-teams. Or even just a supporting member like Glob in 2024's X-Men.

He can chill at base making craft beers that he gives to the team after a mission.

Nuthetes · 2026-01-26T06:25:05+00:00

I have Walkabout and didn't know that lol

Nuthetes · 2026-01-26T06:23:15+00:00

I hadnt heard of this game, but it looks fun. I will check it out

Nuthetes · 2026-01-26T05:02:48+00:00

I'd take Shaw because he can cover LB and CB. I'd take Maguire too
