And the idiocy and wolverine kissing continues: We have a flashback where he acts as Nightcrawler's teacher because somehow Kurt cannot take on the danger room copies of his teammates… even though based on this team roster Kurt had been an X-Men for some time and so should be familiar with them already. So this is just another "Wolverine is soooo great" garbage. Stuff like this made me quit the X-Men. Especially Kurt's alleged "Roma" background could have been used for so many good stories. You see while the stereotypical depictions of Roma, when not shown as beggars, are like this:
Historic photographies by German Sinti themselves rather tended to look this:
But back to this, I really wish that they would stop the Wolverine ass-licking, and come on, the Shadow King (whose muscles look is really dumb) once possessed the entire world and could easily control them all, so why do things happen "too fast" for him now? The way he is written here, it would have been a better idea to have him be some new or at least different character. Some telepath or so that is less powerful or experienced.
And the Shadow King didn't try to takeover the Bamfs right away why exactly? And since when do telepaths need to see through the eyes of someone else? Kurt cannot be possessed, because of reasons, but he is no shielded from telepathy.
And before I stop, two things:
1) It is spelled "Kätzchen" and not "Katzchen", get that into your head writers!
2) Stop drooling about how Wolverine makes them better! It only draws attention to how generic and run of the mill this story here is. In fact, why are these stories so far in a miniseries? They could have been in a regular X-Men title so far.
In the end, on the one hand, Nightcrawler was shown as competent with his divide and conquer tactic to fight the possessed X-men but it should also be clear that the Shadow King should be far more powerful.
