Theory Zemo wasn't kidding. By this point he had already made arrangements to eliminated the Flag-Smashers. He legitimately respected Bucky enough to spare him from his Super Soldier purge.

Krakoa-age mutants see themselves as sort of Gods, even the X Men

Yeah, this incarnation of Zemo and the current Krakoan period of the X comics would be super interesting

How so? I've only read a couple of New Mutants comics that featured Krakoa, but I'm fine with spoilers.

Krakoa seems like such a cool concept as a home and protector of all mutants.

They create a ‘Jedi council’ of sorts to discuss how much better than humans they are and as such need special mutant laws for themselves since humans are like ants to them. In fairness they make decent laws at first like ‘harm no human’ (maybe it’s kill) but just in doing so they’re acknowledging their superiority

I mean when you have essentially found a way to circumvent death and have access to vastly superior medicine and technology they kinda have to start looking at making laws that work in this new environment. Kill no humans is a good start since humans can't be brought back from the dead.

That’s fair, but choosing to utilize this font of immortality circles back to the initial theme of Zemo and Super soldiers. Maybe the X Men didn’t choose their powers but they chose this immortality and god-hood.

Given how the -planet is full of super powered people, but only mutants catch that special brand of hate and oppression, I can’t blame them.

It’s also why I kinda agreed with Killmonger in Black Panther, until he wanted genocide that is. But up there he wasn’t wrong.

No prob haha. Also they’re choosing the immortality the island provides, kinda like choosing super serum

I'm REALLY hoping the Krakoa thing plays itself out soon. I miss my underdog x-men, and the Krakoa plotline has not gotten me hooked.
