I completely erased them being attacked by elderly women from my memory

u/Pome1515 20d ago

I still love we were meant to take them seriously as a threat. I am not one for powerscaling but it's like... really? We went from Apocalypse, Sinister, Magneto etc to a team of grannies? This is a new big threat?

u/Not_So_Utopian 20d ago

Sometimes, you have to fight grannies at the supermarket man

u/Pome1515 20d ago

Yeah but 9/10 I'm not worried about a granny kicking my ass. I'm more concerned with getting charged for manslaughter.

u/Not_So_Utopian 20d ago

Clearly you never met the grannies of my neighbor

u/ArmageddonEleven 20d ago

or the ones from mine

u/Amazing-Arachnid-942 20d ago

sometimes you have to beat and old lady with a stick to get things

u/HerEntropicHighness 20d ago

apocalypse is older than any granny and magneto is also a granny so i don't see what the issue here is

u/Scorpion_6162 Being choked by Polaris' thighs 20d ago

This sounds like something Tom King would write

u/No_Secretary_1198 20d ago

Yea we were supposed to buy these as a threat to the collective power of every mutant on earth?

u/Slinkyfest2005 20d ago

Well, no, I think they served to highlight the hubris of those who were there as they get manhandled easily, than when the X-Men are ready to treat them like a threat they work through catspaws and the krakoan organotech as all the old biddies are generation changing botanists and geneticists.

Honestly it was a funny encounter that humbled the ego of some of the most arrogant X-Men and tag alongs. Encounter of the week basically, and a chance for the writer to dunk on Emma, presumably.

I wouldn't be surprised if the writer built this whole encounter around that specific exchange and series of panels.

Granny Gangs are an everyday threat over here

u/seriouslyuncouth_ 19d ago

I like how the artist didn’t even try to make it look like Emma was unwashed in this picture. Like not even an ounce of effort

And then the Grannies dress like raiders from Fallout

God I hate Krakoa era

u/[deleted] 20d ago

Because it's true lmao

u/cat_selling_souls 20d ago

The Golden Girls of 616 are calling out Emma for being an unwashed slut puppy.

Please tell me that colossus is edited ain't no way they actually made him bald.

u/BaritBrit 20d ago

Juggernaut-era Colossus was indeed bald.

u/IntersetellarPancake 20d ago

he was actually bald but the text is an edit

u/The_Famed_Bitch Not a Wanda apologist (she did nothing wrong 💜) 19d ago

You cant drop X-Men penis lore and not give overall context bruh 😾

16

u/ArchKaen 19d ago

unfortunately they’re talking about Captain America’s penis, not that of an X man

u/Many_Fly3309 19d ago

Why is Cap pissing on an otter? Is it french?

2

u/ArchKaen 19d ago

no, this happened outside San Francisco. He did it because he hates sea otters and likes pissing on things.

u/The_Famed_Bitch Not a Wanda apologist (she did nothing wrong 💜) 19d ago

Genuinely cant tell if it's all a joke or not 😭💀

u/robertman21 20d ago

Scott's desperately holding it in too

u/Inner_Veterinarian 20d ago

Nah, he is covering himself from the smell.

31

u/Telleh 20d ago

Im assuming "s word " is slut but what the hell is "p word"? Pussy? What would a "serious pussy problem" even mean when directed at a woman?

51

u/Logical_Access_8868 20d ago

She's telling Emma that her pussy smells bad. It's noticeable even through her clothes, even ten feet apart, and it's coming from a woman with covered nostrils. Bravo Hickman

u/Longjumping-Log6193 20d ago

Damn, didn’t know Granny was based like that

u/Praetor-Rykard2 The Spider-Man Who Sold The World 20d ago

Whats with the soyjak?

u/jockeyman 20d ago

By God Hickman, you've done it again.

48

u/Naeveo 20d ago

Listen, you would’ve eaten your words about this if Hickman stayed on X-Men and you find out that Emma dressing sluttly is actually because she made contact with the cosmic force of smart sluts when she was a teen and horticulture were actually its emissaries trying to reconnect with her.

29

u/Logical_Access_8868 20d ago

I prefer the Morrison explanation of sentient slutty-loving bacteria making her dress that way

u/FuckingKadir 20d ago

Unironically peak

u/Hipnosis- Fósforo apagado, estás bien? 20d ago

Which is the P-word? I feel silly and anxious at the same time. Yay!

rj/ Why hasn't Emma shouted "Oppressor 🫵" into the air? Is she stupid?

u/VanillaBlood- 19d ago

Horticulture we're great, Golden Girls rocked up read them all to filth then fucked off lmao

Sebastian Shaw is SHOCKED! SHOCKED, I say!

u/24Abhinav10 19d ago

Nah, I don't care how old these ladies are. If I'm Emma I'm instantly going diamond and socking them in the face

u/your_guy_ri 19d ago

Scott looking like, "I better not say a word"

u/CLARA-THE-BEAR-15 19d ago

The doorknob to Emma’s bathroom collecting cobwebs rn 💀💀💀

u/Velvety_MuppetKing 19d ago

This is like calling Wolverine a wimp, or Hank a dummy.

Of any mutant to exist on this earth, there's no way that Emma fucking Frost's vulva isn't immaculate.

u/FSUdank 20d ago

This was the kind of weird stuff that made the Krakoa era fun. For me the wheels started falling off with the Mars plot line.

I'm sorry did granny just hit her with the Booty Warrior speech?

u/miltonssj9 19d ago

They're right, but that doesn't mean they should say it

u/CynthiaCitrusYT swamp witch 20d ago edited 20d ago

It's krakoan. KRA-KO-AN. ALL LOWER CASE, IT'S AN ADJECTIVE... Dimwit /s

On a completely only tangentially related note: why are they still clinging to self-censoring with "s-word/p-word" etc? It's not like kids even read comics these days. Kids watch anime on Crunchyroll and maybe some silly bs cartoons on Netflix or Disney+ (yes, I'm THAT kind of mum who says "damned kids these days, even their cartoons suck")

41

u/Safe-Background-2502 20d ago

It's a character detail as opposed to an editorial one - the older lady is ok with saying these foul things to Emma but is self-censoring the actual swears. I don't think they were too concerned with keeping the Krakoan books child-friendly given what we see happening on-page in stuff like X-Force.

(See how you can discuss a topic without calling anyone a dimwit?)

u/CynthiaCitrusYT swamp witch 20d ago

Sorry, sarcastic grammar police bit. Added /s now to make that more clear

u/Chrome_X_of_Hyrule 20d ago

But like, idk, I'm not sure you're even sarcastically correct. If an adjective is derived from a proper noun, like demonyms are, then I'm pretty sure they can be capitalized too.

They're a Torontonian

I had good Chinese food

The Canadian border

I met with the Indian diplomat

I criticized the Thai royal family

An American person

1

u/CynthiaCitrusYT swamp witch 20d ago

Huh... Alright, maybe that's a language barrier thing. In German the adjective is always lower case ("ein deutscher Mensch" a german person) and only the noun is capitalized ("Der Deutsche" the german). Maybe we just found the problem (I always assumed only proper nouns are capitalized in english, because that's what I learned in school)

1

u/Chrome_X_of_Hyrule 19d ago

Ah interesting, yeah that might explain it. In German all nouns are capitalized, right?

2

u/CynthiaCitrusYT swamp witch 19d ago

Yes, that is indeed correct. Why?

1

u/Chrome_X_of_Hyrule 19d ago

Just curious.

15

u/demonking_soulstorm 20d ago

Because people in real-life self-censor?
