Ms. Marvel Overhauls X-Men History: Is This the New Marvel Era?

by

More than likely coming soon to Kevin Feige’s joke of an MCU but…

  • You have a character that has failed time and time again in the comics.
  • You have a Disney+ show that nobody watched.
  • You have an MCU movie that nobody watched.
  • You have a target audience that didn’t show up.
  • You hold the biggest drop ever for a CBM.
  • You have a failed video game.

Once more, I find myself immersed, as Marvel Studios continues to redefine the X-Men universe by incorporating the significant character shift of Kamala Khan, now known as Ms. Marvel.

Not the same Marvel

As a passionate moviegoer, I can’t help but lament the transformation comics have undergone over the past decade. It seems like they’ve been taken over by Disney’s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives and contemporary agendas. This shift has unfortunately erased a significant portion of content from iconic creators that were once the backbone of this industry. Nowadays, it feels like these comics are mere stepping stones for future film and animation projects.

Comics no longer serve as an inspiration

To harmonize the comics with Feige’s MCU, where Kamala Khan, portrayed by Iman Vellani, serves as the MCU’s first official mutant, the comics followed suit: they eliminated Ms. Marvel and then resurrected her with a mutant background.

Now Marvel Comics is going to retcon the X-Men in an even bigger way, and much worse.

X-Men history rewritten (erased)

On Wednesday, Marvel.com announce a new X-Men event that “Rewrites Mutant Milestones.”

Essentially, they’re sending Kamala Khan back in time to join all the major X-Men events, ensuring she’s been there all along. In other words, Kamala Khan has always been a part of the X-Men’s history; she’s always been one of them.

The all-new all-different Kamala Khan now always a part of the X-Men

As a passionate cinephile immersed in the Marvel universe, I’m thrilled to share that these upcoming one-shots promise an exhilarating mental rollercoaster, revisiting the most pivotal X-Men moments. These stories will unearth long-hidden mysteries and reveal secrets that will indelibly shape the destiny of Marvel’s mutants!

Moreover, each issue includes a Revelations Back-Up Story penned by esteemed X-Men creators from yesteryears and today. These bonus tales delve into previously undisclosed moments that will significantly reshape the trajectory of the X-Men’s future!

X-Men history will never be the same

The news goes on to say, ‘History doesn’t have to stay fixed. What’s coming next is undecided. The tale of the X-Men will never be the same!’

Since Kamala Khan learned she was a mutant, she’s been juggling her old life as Ms. Marvel while assuming the leadership role within this emerging community. However, her divided identity has taken a heavy toll on her personally.

Currently immersed in the ancient past due to a rogue villain with profound links to mutant lore, Ms. Marvel will get a firsthand look at the legendary creation of the Uncanny X-Men and their initial interaction with Krakoa. However, when history starts shifting… it remains uncertain whether Kamala Khan or even the X-Men themselves can endure this extraordinary event. Additionally, brace for an exciting REVELATIONS STORY by Al Ewing and Sara Pichelli, which unveils a never-before-seen X-Man!

Kamala Khan is at the front and center of the X-Men

The writers expressed that they are set to thoroughly overhaul and rebuild the narrative of the X – with Kamala Khan as our leading character. It’s both an honor and a pleasure, but also carries a significant burden. They anticipate what follows will be extraordinary.

We also see Marvel retconned the classic Giant-Size X-Men #1 cover from 1975 and added Kamala.
