The freaks actualy look like freaks, as was depicted at the previous issue, and are poor, unfotunate dihumanised men and women, while Scott looks like a regular man. Also, Scott, in Essex words, is even more humanised by the fact that he and Jean are lovers.<br />As seems by modern researchs about the Holocoast, for people to be able to perform any kind of immoral behavior towards other human beings, there has to be some kind of dehumanizing technic.<br />At this point Essex has crossed the line with those disfigured freaks, but he still didn't cross it with regular looking human beings that reminds him of himself.ray swifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10850259140570017583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734283773701136760.post-18823882751286605512008-12-01T08:29:00.000-05:002008-12-01T08:29:00.000-05:00Yeah I was reading the recent FF comics, which mad...Yeah I was reading the recent FF comics, which made me think of this. I loved the idea of Kang's Laws of Time Travel (which do seem to be Gruenwald's laws as well). <BR/><BR/>However since it is time travel I'm sure there's some sort of weird 4th dimensional mathmatics that explains how this happened. Reed can probably explain it if we ask him. :)Seangreysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05406497705687596141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734283773701136760.post-18166770091594146592008-11-30T16:18:00.000-05:002008-11-30T16:18:00.000-05:00But if we follow Gruenwald's premise that time tra...But if we follow Gruenwald's premise that time travel automatically creates an alternate reality, then their time travel adventure couldn't have been in the history of "our" timeline. But, like you mentioned, this rule violates the first time time travel was even in a Marvel comic, the first appearance of Dr. Doom. I think that Gruenwald decided that time travel had been portrayed so inconsistently by the '80s, he tried to go with the consensus and ignored the few times time travel was shown to affect the main reality. <BR/>I think Dwayne McDuffie tried to rationalize the times time travel has been shown to affect the main MU during his recent FF run.G.

Effectively, the history of their own timeline is that Scott and Jean were summoned back in time to stop this event before returning to their own time again.<BR/><BR/>FF has done some similar things (Thing as Bluebeard if you go back to the beginning). As long as they are maintaining their own history it should be ok.Seangreysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05406497705687596141noreply@blogger.com
