“It’s not a dystopia, it’s actually the opposite. It’s ‘What do we do after we’ve won?’ What is the X-Men’s purpose when they’re all united and they’ve beat hate?” -- Zac Thompson

... doesn't look like a utopia to me.

The "love cops" kind've remind me of that Christian Bale "gun fu" movie Equilibrium.

It's kind've hard at this point to come up with something original, not after House of M, for example. I guess the "no love" idea was their way of putting what they thought was an original spin on things? Not saying it was a good spin by any means; love is a natural part of many people's emotional make up; we all love something or someone. Remove love, remove passion and honestly what is there to live for?

Why is this 'utopia' modeled off of a 1950s gas station poster of reality? It's kind of jarring. I get that visually, it's supposed to evoke that imagery, but it feels...off. Like, in the Justice League/Doom Patrol cross-over, it worked because of the history of that imagery. Here, it feels...like it's ignoring a lot of that time periods awfulness (or maybe it's intentionally trying to trade on it, which I guess works, as its definitely evoking a 'false utopia' vibe).

Right now I'm in the middle of 1989 X-Men/related content, but ending an issue by quoting LeGuin's Dispossessed is a huge hook, and I'm ready to go get this right now!

This is all Mr. Sinister. It reeks of his brand of eugenics. He's the one who made Nate and he's the one controlling him now. Pinocchio been restrung and his master is using him to create a world where he is in complete control of everyone's genetics. Which is Mr. Sinister's dream. Not Nate's.
