- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- X-Force #10 finds the mutant covert ops team deep in the heart of Terra Verde, where their sentient plant techno life has captured complete control of the nation, and is threatening to expand. It’s a welcome return to form for Benjamin Percy, Joshua Cassara, Guru-eFX and the creative team, as X-Force continues a top tier run through the Dawn of X.
Today I'll answer:
+ What is the Anti-Krakoa, and what does it mean for X-Force handling threats to Krakoa?
+ Can Beast be redeemed?
+ Should Jean Grey stay on X-Force?
Spoilers for discussed comics may follow!

X-Force #10 opens with Wolverine, Domino and Quentin Quire deep in the heart of Terra Verde. Since it’s been a minute since previous X-Force issues were released, Terra Verde is a fictional South African country, whose name translates to a very on the nose “Green Earth.” In X-Force the nation was revealed as an upcoming developer of flower-based pharmaceutical tech rivaling Krakoa’s, although following the threat of man-plant hybrids, X-Force - at the behest of Hank McCoy - effectively tried to destroy their work.
Interesting development that Terra Verde’s plant tech runs back hundreds of years. There’s a definite angle to the story here of X-Force infiltrating indigenous culture and pretty violently weeding out the threat for the benefit of Krakoa’s security, continuing to add the morally vacuous accusations of the nation’s leadership.

Bad beast bad beast
I'm very happy Beast finally got some pushback for his actions here. I know the internet is going to have a field day with the Logan and Jean stuff at the end, but I'm more concerned where the team goes next. You would think Quintin is probably getting tired of getting killed every other issue
Yeah I have wanted Beast to get his since the watcher came to him and told him he is shit and should know it lol. On the other end I just think that Jean and Logan make a nice couple and I want to see their kid Shine again.
Frankly, I'm tired of Quentin being killed every other issue. Isn't he supposed to be an Omega Level mutant?
lol Quentin's been getting his butt kicked left and right, dude needs to take over Sage's desk job
Rectification : Terra Verde is a South AMERICAN nation as defined in X-Force #10 page 5.
Thank you! That bugged me immediately although the review was still stellar!😊👍😎
10 bucks says that when the X-men come to their senses and will use Terra Verde as a base to fight Crazy Xavier in an Mutant Civil War
another interesting thing this issue raised was Quentin speculating what it would be like putting "beta" backups of his mind into resurrected bodies of Wolverine and Domino.
Love your reviews of Dawn of X! Will you cover the upcoming Empyre event?
Thanks! Yeah, I'll cover in some form here and there, but probably not issue by issue. When big stuff happens and I have something I want to say, I'll jump in :) My full guide to the event is on the site here: www.comicbookherald.com/the-complete-marvel-reading-order-guide/empyre-reading-order/
@@Comicbookherald Thanks, I'm looking forward to it!
I also have an unrelated question regarding the Marvel Comics app and I was wondering if you could help me: Is it possible to read (with an Internet connection) the comics that we bought without having to download them?
Really have been enjoying your videos. Always super thoughtful and intriguing. Thank you!
I think that Xavier knows about Hank. Think about it. Xavier is said to routinely make backups of supposedly EVERYONE's psyche in order for the resurrections protocols. This would suggest he's been inside Hanks mind.
I’ve been theorizing the exact same thing! My guess is that, at some point, probably before the events of Dawn of X or X-Force, Xavier ordered a piece of Dark Beast’s consciousness to be transplanted into that of 616 Beast’s to ensure Krakoa’s future.
Pretty good theory. I haven't totally thought about whether Xavier actually "downloads" information from every mutant when he makes his backups. I was thinking of it more as saving information, but not necessarily parsing that himself. He'd have the opportunity of course, but otherwise this would imply he knows the details of every single mutant in the system. Wouldn't put it past Charlie, but that sounds like too much data for one guy.
I could also see Dark Beast transplanting himself following the previous run of Uncanny X-Men. That would actually be a pretty plausible twist. Nonetheless, I think this is the real McCoy :)
@@Comicbookherald Likely he keeps tabs on only "vital personnel" and only downloads others. Being this is first time that X-Force has his tacit approval and he had a part in forming it... I'm sure he keeps close tabs on the members of this team, if none others. Let's remember Xavier is a closet control freak that plays a hidden chess board.
@@codybrinson3520 Beast has always been "shady". No need for thid theory)
I would love if every plant life form band together to destroy human and mutant alike for destroying the planet.
If you're still looking for more Krakin' Krakoa I have one - you should go over the history of X--Force. I just reread every modern series including the Kyle/Yost run, Remender run, Hopeless/Humphries Run, and the Spurrier run. They are all excellent and some of them could have some implications for the new Krakoa status quo.
I didn't like Humphries' or Supurrier's run but the others were really good
@@dantecrottogini529 I understand that most people don't but I personally really liked Spurrier's run.
@@jacobgoldberg4249
I just didn't like what he did with Fantomex
So, the extent of Hickman's era character development of Jean Grey, is that she enjoys threesomes. And she calls herself a Girl even though she's a woman. And wears mini skirts. Excellent...Oh wait! WE are the ones who don't "get it" according to Hickman. That is true, i don't get bad writing or bad plot seeding. If he wanted to present a Jean without the influence of the Phoenix force he could have done it in a better way. The fans aren't at fault for not "getting it". If no one gets it then it's bad writing.
Give beast the abyss. Let him join Sabretooth and, next, Sebastian Shaw
I love jean grey costume but a wish see another New Costume for her in next Saga of X-Men.
Everything aside, I agree with you on Johnny Storm and Alicia Masters.
Enjoyed this review. I recently finished reading this book. Wolverine's quotes to Jean let us know their relationship or whatever it is temporary but nice to have. Beast is starting to remind me of Dark Beast from AOA.
Thanks! Yeah, I think there's a very valid theory that Dark Beast is more present here than we've been lead to believe!
There is no redemption for Beast at this point--"a minor miscalculation." He's more like the enemy within rather than a hero.
He has done a handful of reckless and disastrous things in the recent past, but I wouldn’t define him as irredeemable just yet. Many Marvel characters have done an equal or bigger amount of horrible things and they managed to redeem themselves one way or another. Plus, the last sentences in the second data page imply that his confrontation by Jean DID have an impact on him; so there’s still hope. Also, before he notices Jean floating in he acknowledges to himself that he made a big mistake.
Mr420Spy That’s also a major possibility; and I discussed that theory with other users on other videos’ comment sections.
I think professor x has tampered with the minds and hearts of the mutants that were revived on the island and altered wolverine Cyclops and Jean Grey's minds and intention so that they will be in a relationship together and be cool with
I think it's less direct than that. It's more of a mutant take on 'free love. Everyone who gets resurrected tries to avoid conflict and pain in general, see also Domino's resurrection. By that count, the Wolverine x Jean x Cyclops thing just happened naturally as a result of that. Rather than fight over Jean in some love triangle, they resolve it in a Krokoan, way with the least amount of conflict.
🔥🖤🔥
one of my fave titles
How many more times are they going to kill Quentin Quire? I don't even like the kid all that much, but this is getting ridiculous.
First law Beast going jail..cellmates with saber tooth...Second law Logan and Jean making more mutants ..Third law NO fighting Omega red and Colossus
You know I have a thought what about if Jean indeed does quit x force and since she's in this relationship with Wolverine maybe she could show up in the Avengers and be part of that team that would redeem her and she can learn a thing or 2 from the Avengers especially captain America or Captain Marvel and they are recruiting and they do need more women on the team maybe she can help out there she would be quite beneficial cause I don't really think the Avengers have a psychic on their team just a thought?
Nah
I actually do think that Jean might join the avengers, 2 indications for me.
1. Their team up in x-men red.
2. The avengers 1000000 bc had a red headed Phoenix just like Jean.
@Wraith Black I totally agree I believe she would probably take the spotlight away and since you brought up the Phoenix Force it probably would be bad too because I will admit she did commit 2 genocides so I guess there's problem with her joining the Avengers I just think it would be really fun if the Avengers had a psychic on their side but I totally agree with your point men it's probably for the best that she stick with the x-men she does have a lot of baggage.
I'd be surprised, but this is an interesting idea. First, Jason Aaron's run on Avengers has focused on Phoenix w/ the BC team, and teased a return with Namor. So Jean's presence would be pretty natural. Likewise, in X-Men Red, Jean was definitely the strongest mutant voice for allying with humankind, and her presence on the "all-human" team of Avengers would kind of fit that message. I don't actually see it happening because I think they'll want to keep mutants "in house" within the X-line of comics, but there's something there.
@@Comicbookherald you know comic book Herald you have a point too that's a very good point but I just I feel like the Avengers could use somebody like Jean Grey's caliberthe mutants do have so many psychics on their island right now but I also see your point that perhaps marvel would want to keep the X-Men in their own line for the time being except if your name is Wolverine then you can be in any book you want and that's just a fact but it is a thought to consider also if the X-Men are really thinking that they're gonna to inherit the earth that would be a very good way for them to prove themselves the true inheritors of the earth because in truth if you're gonna to inherit something you're not just gonna to inherit the good stuff but you're also gonna to inherit the bad stuff too and they need to be ready for both so in conclusion they really seem not to be ready for that yet regardless of what they're saying you can't just be separate or consider yourself a separate species they're both humans it's just that one side has powers and has took a lot of crap while the other has dished out that crap my point is they have to work with people like the Avengers despite their many disagreements if they're really seriously thinking about inheriting the earth and taking on the huge massive responsibilities that come with that so the question they should ask is are they ready my personal view is they're not ready yet.
