Look, I can (and will when I am more awake and not on nightshift) go on about how terrible and honestly bad Ultimate X-Men is written and managed but these pannels are absolutely terrifying if I am to be honest.

The sentinel program being launched like this and just how it is portrayed with people being outright murdered in the streets is scary. It is down right horrifying tbh.

Imagine you are going about your day and everything is normal you are walking your dog and enjoying a nice ice cream and then a giant ass robot appears and squashes you like a bug.

And then for people to say that there was no civilian casualties. And that you were a terrorist. That shit is just goose bumps worthy there.

One of the reasons I am still reading this series as it sets this up. That the sentinels were there because of the Brotherhood and Magneto but it was normal mutants who were attacked.

If it had been just the X-Men being attacked on the streets or whatever than the series would just feel like any other X-Men comic. Bad robots attack heroes. Cue fight.

But instead it starts with this. An attack on the street celebrated by everyone else.

Like Magneto is an absolute dick in this series (everyone is like wtf) but he is more than justified in his anger here when giant robots are killing people, his people because they exists

And that is what X-Men comics is about at the end of the day: the rage and anger of those who are persecuted for being different and the hope and compassion of those who want to everyone to learn to get along with each other and not seek to do harm to either side.

I gotta get back to work now but I have thoughts and feelings on the Ultimate X-Men

(Not all of them nice because 😬😬😬 that writing)

I haven’t heard much about it honestly. The name sounds familiar anyway. Maybe tell me more about it? Please?

Because the left would be like "Oh no leave the mutants alone; no weapons!"
