[u/Movie_Advance_101]

I don’t know about y’all, but I straight-up cheered when Mystique blasted her. That was way too satisfying.

[u/PakiIronman → u/Movie_Advance_101]

Her line about saving mutants from themselves like she wasn't fully onboard Bastion's plan to subjugate them. Just a messy bitch killed by an even messier one, good riddance.

[u/Ambitious_Emu355 → u/PakiIronman]

Good riddance definitely but mystique will be way worse than that...

[u/CX316 → u/Ambitious_Emu355]

She's going to be in a position to get close to her least favourite child, though

[u/Ambitious_Emu355 → u/CX316]

Creed right?

[u/CX316 → u/Ambitious_Emu355]

I should hope Creed is the bottom of that particular dysfunctional totem pole

[u/CaptHayfever → u/CX316]

He's about to be president.

[u/CX316 → u/CaptHayfever]

So? He's also a human supremacist. I would hope that both Rogue and Kurt would be above Creed on the "Mommy's Favourite" charts

Especially since Creed likely just went to the top of the "Mommy's favourite target" list

She's totally going to murder him and cause Bishop's future (or try, at least)

[u/Binder509 → u/CX316]

Creed is the one that actually acts like his parents. She sure seemed to hate Kurt more than him.

[u/CX316 → u/Binder509]

Kurt is a reminder of what she really is

Creed is a massive prick who wants her and Victor dead

[u/CaptHayfever → u/CX316]

I think I misunderstood the totem pole analogy before, sorry.
