i think it's cool that it's referencing its canon, because the x-men history is often written over and retconned
so its nice to see some continuity
yeah, I actually liked how closely he kept to the source material. I was thinking of this again especially after reading Uncanny Avengers #2, wherein it includes a flashback scene from when Rogue first joins the X-men (which Cassaday makes look just so good). After reading it, I went back and re-read the old issue, only to realize that virtually all of the dialogue in the scene had been changed. Which I think is fine in this case, because we can assume that the scene from Uncanny Avengers is actually showing us Rogue's memory of that moment, and so the dialogue itself is really only there to show us what that moment meant to her (which I thought it did quite well, actually).
But in the case of All New X-men, it seems like, technically, none of the dialogue should have been altered because we are supposed to believe that this is literally that same moment.
That any of the dialogue was altered might be a clue that these two scenes do not take place in the same moment, and that possibly the Beast has not gone into his past after all.
