That Mad King play was the most misogynistic shit ever.

Rhaella, the same woman who hugged her half-Dornish granddaughter while her horrible rapist husband was openly racist, is now racist to her daughter in law & also she's abusive to son who she was canonically stated to have protected & who loved her so dearly he lost his humanity selling away the last thing he had of hers to survive.

Elia, the woman who was raped & murdered because her husband publicly humiliated & abandoned her her for a teenager was in on it & actually contributed to her own downfall, which resulted in the brutal death & the murders of her children.

First grandchild of Magneto, no relevance, overshadowed by Billy & Tommy.

First Inhuman/Mutant, no cool powers, overshadowed by Kamala.

First second gen Inhuman royal, no1gaf, overshadowed by Ahura (he's not relevant either because Inhumans in general aren't, but he's got way more interesting subplots at least).

If the Inhuman royal family are going to continue being morally grey occasional villains (which they should be! because monarchy & everything it represents is gross), NuHumans would've balanced them out perfectly if they didn't always become chummy with the Royals.

Give me Down to Earth Inhumans stories, show me the struggles NuHumans face with adapting, but don't tack on the exact same prejudice sublot of the Mutants onto them. (Terrigenesis is less dangerous to the regular human people around them than Mutants randomly activating deadly powers, they shouldn't be feared the same way/for the same reasons.)

Give me the Inhuman royals trying to recruit NuHumans to rebuild their kingdom & NuHumans turning them down.

Give me NuHumans who resent Black Bolt for unleashing the Terrigen cloud on them, stealing their agency (something Karnak & other native Inhumans had), & having powers forced on them with no choice.

Give me the royals grieving that they can never truly rebuild Attilan with NuHuman "replacements" and being forced to accept the new status quo, maybe even learning to understand that it's better for the survival of Inhuman species to be diverse instead of being a singular nation easier to target by enemies.

Heck, maybe Crystal or Queen Medusa can even make a comment about one of the isolated Mutant islands and reminisce about what the Inhumans have lost.

Give me the Inhuman royals not being royals anymore because they don't have enough subjects.

1 is literal rape by deception

1 was a random cosmic accident/miracle

1. It’s boring and has been done to death by the Mutants.

He didn’t even call to check up on Maddy when he was away at any point, even when she was heavily pregnant, due to give birth any minute, or right after she birthed his literal baby, meanwhile some of his teammates did, despite having no obligation to.

Later on he doesn’t contact Maddy for weeks after dropping everything to go see Jean.

I’m not saying he shouldn’t have seen Jean, I’d want to see my dead loved one if they came back from the dead too, & this is about Scott as a father, not a husband. But you’d think a caring father would try harder to contact the mother of his child & know how his baby is doing.

If you only take the opinion of Sinister, the one single person who considered her a surrogate… then by the same logic Scott is only a sperm donor for Sinister’s eugenics experiment.

No one involved, between Maddy, Jean, or Scott had agency when it came to being used and violated by Sinister to create Nathan, but if Jean & Scott are allowed to reclaim their autonomy and make the choice to raise their son, I don’t see how Maddy would be a surrogate.

She raised Nathan in the future with Scott, Rachel popped into her life already as an adult.

She has all of Maddy's memories of Nathan's birth & early life as if she lived through it herself, she cannot relate to Rachel's life the same way.
