STEALING THIS MEME FROM FOLEY LIKE A BOSS.

[needsahandjob]

SO PEOPLE MAY HAVE NOTICED THAT JULIAN HAS A BIT OF A TRUST ISSUE WHEN IT COMES TO ADULTS, ROBOTS AND ... LOOK THERE'S A LOT. I have more scans than this but I honestly got bored and Legacy has really awful art (worse than X-Force, which as you will see is saying something) and the art for NXM can be terribly variable so I couldn't be bothered.

The sad thing about those X-Force scans is that that is actually some of the better art ):

Also BOY ISN'T IT SWELL THAT THE MUTANTKIDS HAVE THESE TWO GREAT GUYS. WHO VALUE THEIR SAFETY AND FUTURE SO MUCH. THAT THEY BROKE UP THE X-MEN BECAUSE THEY HAD CONFLICTING OPINIONS ON HOW TO DO THAT.

BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT SCHISM WAS ABOUT. IT WAS ABOUT THE CHILDREN :'(

Oh goodness, I'm really glad I didn't read any more of it, because the issues I read were kind of what is this i don't even know what's happening.

Anyway, what are you talking about, it wasn't about the children. It was about Idie. Just Idie. No-one else counts.

HI FIVE

WE KNOW WHAT'S UP.

Man, it sucks to be Marvel.

It is one of the consistent traits of the X-Books; the older mutants claim they care about the kids but their actions make it really clear that they don't. It gets even more hideous when you find out that for a while, they thought that Julian's set of mutants were the last mutants to exist. When they found someone else, they treat her like she's a messiah and give her everything she could want or need while treating Julian's classmates like ... this.

...I feel so sad, jesus.

IT'S OKAY I can fish out the scans where Magneto tells him to get out of the hospital and stop being mean to the mutant messiah the day Julian wakes up from his coma with no hands. EQUAL OPPORTUNITY TERRIBLE ADULTING FROM EVERYONE.

[godwinner]

...is that Hope? because I've already been skeeved enough by what I've seen of her.

[needsahandjob]

That would be Hope, yes. She's an ... interesting character.

Dude, you need all the hugs.

The best part is that these scans are actually in chronological order and I skipped out the times non-teaching staff were pointlessly cruel to him, like Gambit threatening to dismember him. GOOD TIMES.

Marvel really loves Julian Keller.

I like how the X-Men movies are actually made of flowers and butterflies compared to the comics.

THERE ARE SOME ... NICE ... THINGS. But yeah Julian's "set" of mutants are treated really terribly.

[drfeelgold]

And the cartoons too! But the comics are pretty much where ALL THE BAD THINGS HAPPEN, especially to the kids :(
