This is really the only argument you need but fine I’ll make a real one https://twitter.com/datpremmy/status/1354169458282127361
Why you should #VoteMarrow, thread
Let’s start with the opening question “What does it mean to be an X-man in the Krakoan age?”
Let’s start with the opening question “What does it mean to be an X-man in the Krakoan age?”
Why not X-force or X-factor or x-tra cheese? Its got to mean something both in the narrative and as a publishing decision. The X-men should be the United Nations of mutant teams and books And the Morlocks deserve a seat
Morlocks get done dirty constantly like it’s a running joke. If it’s a new era for mutants it should be a new era for ALL mutants and that includes the Morlocks
The fact that neither Callisto nor Marrow is on the quiet council is a massive oversight that X-man rep would remedy

“But Storm!” You say
1: Literally every arc related to her being Leader of the Morlocks is about how much she failed them by not genuinely giving a fuck about them
2: Morlocks are inherently about visibility and disability and Storm’s too damn pretty and able and “normal”

Ororo is no more a Morlock than Scott is a Starjammer
So why not Callisto?
1: cuz fuck her
2: I think having a main team composed entirely of “leader” archetypes is probably bad for dynamics(“but gene nation-“ shut up)
3: That girl is taking the Funk as much as Storm is, she just has the decency to show up to all the sewer meetings

So these are arguments for An actual Morlock but why #VoteMarrow ?
1: She’s “postergirl ” enough to make sense as some kind of representative but not so much that it’d be weird for her to Not be Leading her Own team(morlocks book when?rebrand NYX?)

2: Shes a Fucking Problem
So much of new Krakoa is treated as “controversial” in-universe but having a team of Standard Heroic archetypes leading the charge just kinda makes everyone else in the 616 look like an asshole(which, Fair) why not actually have some controversy?

But whenever anyone in or outside the x-sphere wants to call her on what will assuredly be some bullshit she did, well
3: She’s Fucking Weird
I think mutation is at its best when it kinda sucks. Cuts some of the eugenics overtones. but the major X-men team out of DoX was not only super white but super able and “normal” Any X-team that isn’t at least 60% weird is weak shit

4: Fuck Wolverines
If You’re a long time X-fan you’re probably as annoyed by Logan as DC fans are by Bruce. You might even love Laura because of this, but here’s a Hot take: Sara was the x-23 that should have been. Anything a Wolverine can do on a team, she can do, but trashier

I’ve been thinking about how I feel about legacies and it really seems like Laura is just Sarah cleaned up for the mainstream. Instead of a character who embodies what Wolverine brings to the table for a new generation, we got a literal clone, but cuter.
She’s the Static to Laura’s Miles. And We need more Statics
