The mutant metaphor has always been about our communities’ pain. But for the first time, it’s about the defiant dream of our joy and hope and freedom.

And the promise–even if it takes more years of fighting and striving and resistance–it’ll be ours to behold.

I try to be respectful of others’ opinions on here–lord knows y’all put up with enough of mine–but I’m not sure I’ll ever understand the calls to see it all burned down.

Mystique deserves justice. I believe she will get it.
But mutants deserve this paradise.

This is the importance of these stories. This is the promise I need to take away from Krakoa.

“If you have the ears to hear... they are shouting from every corner of the Earth. No one’s hiding anything here. There’s no shame. No hidden agendas or manipulation... just pride.”

For the first time in a long time, I feel hope for mutantkind–and with that, for the identities the metaphor touches.

Krakoa isn’t flawless, but it is joyous. The promise of something better.

Maybe that’s foolish–but I’m still going to try to feel it in every moment that I can. https://t.co/Lp67QwFp59

The kids, finally reunited fully as a team for the first time since the arc began, fight valiantly against the Shadow King as the powerful entity begins to repossess them.

With Rahne back under his command, the Shadow King attacks Warlock while...

...and personal relevance–the theft of a girl's body and soul by a wicked man–that makes her centrality in this story at least make some sense.

Using Warlock to impersonate her, "Illyana" submits to the Shadow King as all the while the true Illyana teleports the kids to Limbo...

...complain about Illyana's saturation in New Mutants' stories, her prominence as the solution to other characters' central villains (e.g. Dani & The Demon Bear) does undermine my investment in those characters.

Her fight against the Shadow King, at least, bears some thematic...

...to and begins to formulate how she might fight for the New Mutants' freedom.

The Shadow King releases Ororo from his thrall just long enough to taunt her personally with the helplessness of her situation as Illyana teleports into the Pharaoh.
