"She pretty damn clearly refers to it as a disease"

Not sure why you would bring that up when it wasn't what either of us were talking about. But in any case: Moira's mutation is literally that she relives her life over and over again. Her power literally IS a fate worse than death and is the entire reason she invents the cure.

"yeah, Kavita Rao did genocide, that's the whole reason she was the atoner after that"

And Moira has seven lives in which she tries desperately to save mutantkind. She's literally lived thousands of years trying to prevent mutantkind's extinction up until her moment of despair in her tenth life, which she believes in her last chance.

"I don't know how to tell you this, but "genocide was only her back-up plan!" is not the ringing endorsement you think it is."

It's not an endorsement, it's the way the tragedy unfolds. Because that's what this story is: a tragedy. The fact that you are so hung up on Moira's character being different is silly when this is, objectively, the most interesting she has been in forty years.

"Ah yes, ending it with "this is objectively good and you just can't see it.""

Still with the strawman arguments, I see.
