Fall of X is going back to the status quo when it was a refreshing break from the status quo


I didn't attend, but I guess that (on Saturday) at MegaCon, Marvel Comics unveiled that the mutants in this year's Fall of X see their nation of Krakoa basically get destroyed. Here's a recap of what Krakoa is in case you need one: it's an island nation raised from the Pacific Ocean by powerful mutants and a place where they can live away from people who hate them that serves as their own sovereign country.

The first time I got introduced to it was in reading Jonathan Hickman's House of X and Powers of X. This introduced the "Krakoa Era" of comics from what I understand about the storyline and how it is marketed.

 All I gotta say about this is that it'd be nice if a world-changing break to the status quo didn't eventually revert back to the status quo. Does Marvel plan on just rebuilding the school and flying their blackbird around to help people in a world that hates and fears them forever?

X-Men is finally something different, and it should remain different. But whatever. Marvel is going to do what it is going to do. It's just hard to get excited about them tearing down everything that they built up over the years. Why couldn't Krakoa just last forever?
