Thoughts on Krakoan era on current runs
I thought it was really fun and lighthearted having Mei ask Scott everything about Krakoa in Cyclops #3 (2026).
Imagine being a mutant teenager that wanted to be on a paradise-like living island, finding out about the terraforming of Mars, the cure to all types of diseases through flowers, mutants dying and being ressurected all over the news and you meet the golden-boy and face of the X-Men and not ask him anything about it?
I may be biased as a fan of that era, but it feels just natural as a progression to the story to actually have the characters talk about what happened prior to that point.
From what I recall things that happened on Krakoa and has some impact in current runs are/were:
Kate/Kitty in the beggining of Exceptional X-Men trying to run away as a form of coping from all the things she did in Fall of X (and poorly explored due to the cancellation of the book and yet no mention of it in X-Men United)
Prodigy teaching Krakoan History in NYX
Magneto with R-LDS (still not explained)
The red triangle protocol used by Cyclops and then Mei (apparently it was created before Krakoa by Ewing but it was really developed at Fall of X)
Mei asking about Krakoa to Cyclops
...?
It just bugs me the whole "lived in an island" as a very far away story just for the sake of going back to basics and pretend it didn't exist, such as the panel from Mckay's X-Men #26 (2024). I mean, Cyclops lived in the freaking moon, then he lived in a big tree in Central Park and the writer just choose not to mention it? I don't if it's editorial or deliberate, but it just feels out of place, especially when the whole point of their new shot at reviving the X-Men is basically Krakoa 2.0 in United (but still using Sinister techs lol).
What are your thoughts on the matter?
Is there any other mentions/plots that uses Krakoa as a direct reference that you can recall?
(Slightly off topic: I thought I'd hate this Cyclops solo by Alex Paknadel, since I'm not the huggest fan of the character, but it was a really nice surprise. I actually like and care about Scott now, and it's being a very nice palate cleanser for the way the character is being portraited in other books.)
