Kids definitely shouldn't have to fight but when they do, they do.
Yeah, but when kids fight they're brawling over the girl next door, not fighting a psychopath who's reminiscent of Hitler.
My point being when they have to fight someone reminiscent of Hitler, then they have to fight that person reminiscent of Hitler, when something has to be dne then either you do it or it isn't done
If I'm sitting in class taking a test and somebody walks up and puts a gun to my head I don't just ignore it and go back to circling B, and I think that's a accurate metaphor for the modern mutant situation,
No, they call the police and someone handles it. Adults handle it. They don't do jack. Sure, they may ca-pow the guy that's holding the gun, but then the police comes and they go back to circling c (because b isn't the correct answer btw, Caesar was Roman, not greek)
I'm not asking the X-students to handle everything and I most certainly expect the adults to be involved, prof X always was (almost) when the original 5 were teens, all I expect from the kids s that ca-pow, at least in this situation. By the way the question was about Babylon and all I know about Babylon was that it starts with B so I circled it :p
they always have a gun to their temple so choosing to just ignore it and go to school like it isn't happening is naive and unrealistic at best.
They don't. They are going to a specific school which is protecting them and training them for when they're of age to fight. Never put a gun in the hands of an 8 year old and expect them to go kill someone for you, its disgusting.
Wasn't the school blown up in the first issue? I think they might need all hands on deck to guard the second biggest target in all of comics including the students. I agree that they shouldn't kill I hated Cyke putting X-23 on X-force but I do expect the students to do recon and skirmish missions
When you can't afford to do something then doing it isn't an option and age doesn't change that,
I don't agree, in this particular case of comic books, they are more than capable of doing it. There are exceptions, like Jubilee and X though...
and at this point in time the x-kids can't afford to be just kids.
Yeah they can. I'll tell you why. At this point the X-Men are about twice as weak as they were before and one half has just put the X-Kids beign just kids, which means that they're doing it at a considerably lower strength and they're pulling through just fine.
Also lets not forget that Xavier did this for the greater part of his life with the X-Men and lets face it, the only thing that has really changed is the fact that the total number of mutants is down. The people that are at the school are still the same and this means that the people both protecting the school and learning within it are still at the same strength. This perceived threat that people want to kill them now is kinda BS, because these guys always wanted to kill them just as hard as they want to do now. In fact, now when they were together, they even had a better chance to protect them since the X-Men's strength was higher since they were all together.
We both know how Marvel works there handelig it now but how long until another massacre? They've been dealing with that weak @$$ new Hellfire club but Sabertooth is coming for them and who knows what actual serous threats after that, they've handled Kilgore but let's see what happens when Sinister get's tired of fighting the UXM Marvel loves a tragedy and somebody will die as soon as they get a serious threat. And when Xavier was doing this how many times was the school blown up? Yes the same guys are coming after that have always been coming after them but they've never been so successful and dangerous, it's a different game with different stakes and the X-men need all there players
That aside a compromise could have easily been reached that would both protect the kids for the most part and allow them to contribute in the fight for their survival and future
Oh, I agree. I don't mind the kids fighting at all, but I don't think they should be treated as soldiers. Its not an ultimatum and I'm not sure the Cyclops understands that they need to be treated in this particular manner for them to fight. When some random ass sentinel appears and they can take them solo, then they don't need to endanger the lives of the kids without them. Wolverine isn't totally right, but of the two he has the view which I like best. Its not even that I like him as a character more, because I loved pre-Utopia Scott.
We can both agree that the X-kids should have been handled better but there still assets and while they shouldn't be treated as soldiers they should be treated as X-men. I also think Scott was right to have them fight the sentinel they had allot of fire power there and there wasn't much of a chance for failure.
My other question is why the X-kids actually want to be in the school I've seen most of them almost beg for missions when cyclops actually didn't use them and now that he wants to use them the suddenly aren't for it?
