Omg its so nice to see Betsy and Kurt interacting even if they're alternate versions!

I miss her being around Storm Wolverine Nightcrawler.. Jubilee and Rogue are classic allies as well but its just not the same.

I'm bored with Rictor and Gambit 😭

Ah, so that's why she looked different. It's another reality. Could that Kwannon shown in the advance preview also be from this reality?

Anyway, please bring her back, Elspeth!

FSaker said...

Plus, I LOVED the caption box mentioning her "focused totality"! That was a good one, Tini!

This alt. Betsy reminds me of Earth-X Betsy when she became a magic-focused apprentice of Merlyn and Roma. Love it.

To confirmed it's 616 Kwannon in Otherworld version of her normal hand look

FSaker said...

That's nice to know! Thanks for the information!

This is a random comment but I kinda hope we see the XMen have several bases or perhaps "consulates" like the old Xavier institute, utopia, Genosha etc

randybear said...

Particularly i miss Utopia its nostalgic for me even though most people hate that era 😅

FSaker said...

You're not alone; I love the Utopia era, too. It gave us two great events (Second Coming and Age of X), plus Gillen's excellent (and sadly short-lived) run. And, before the current era, Utopia was the closest thing we ever had to a place with ALL the X-Men present at the same time. Not to mention, it was the time when Betsy finally rejoined the X-Men and slowly moved from a background character (in the first arcs) to one of the most prominent heroes (with Remender's UXF and Gillen's UXM).

Come to think of it, what X did in Krakoa is very similar to what Cyclops did with Utopia - the main difference is that, while Scott had limitations to his plans, X was able to plan the Krakoan society for decades and use the feedback from Moira's past lives to know what ideas could work out and what ideas couldn't.

Utopia was indeed very fun, particularly after Schism.

I actually like Utopia a lot, just wish they gave our girl Betsy a nice attire.

@randybear If I could swap a member for the Excalibur team it is Rictor out and Nightcrawler in. Sad Nightcrawler has his title because I want him with Betsy, Rogue, Jubilee and Gambit after reading how cute he is with Betsy.

@randybear The Xavier mansion was lifted into Krakoa the other mutant shelters are abandoned. Genosha and Utopia and Tian the Chinese X-Men base probably fell to the enemy. To Orchis and other anti mutant parties. Utopia was cool and Okkara island is an upgrade of it maybe.
