Professor X question

[x-men_pro]

i just taught of something, since Professor X is in a coma which will last for 20 years,does this mean we will only see him when he contacts the x-men via the future?

because if that's the case its gonna be pretty stupid not having Professor X there beside the X-men!

what do you think?

Well how else is Wolverine gonna call all the shots?

I would think so.

Considering the show's title, Wolverine has to be the leader and the only way that's possible is if Professor X is in a coma. Is it stupid? Not necessarily, but it'll certainly call from some creative writing.

I think if the show keeps getting picked up...this will get old and fast

Spoiler

He's probably going to still be in a coma the entire AoA storyline they are doing for season 2, I mean how long are they going to pull this alternate timeline crap?

who's to say that Prof X will be in a 20 year coma. If theres one thing thats been learned about time travel in the comics is that no future is certain and messing with timelines changes the past and future. Xavier could very well get better in the future. He doesnt have to remain in a coma for Wolverine to still be leader. Look at how many times he has left the X-men in the books? They could have something like Genosha being destroyed here and Xavier leaving to go help take care of that much like he did in Excalibur v3

The hope is they do something different...the problem is if they keep going the coma route.

and looking at season 2.....they are

 

[x-men_pro]

yea,
i really wish that the professor wont be in a coma for too long...

Agreed, this whole "Prof. X in the coma and communicating with only Logan from the past" thing will get old.

Honestly, I saw the whole Professor X situation in Season 1 as a bit of a compromise that didn't go well, and that is something Craig Kyle has hinted at in some interviews. He noted in the producation stage they knew they wanted to have to justify why Wolverine was in the position to lead. That meant somehow getting rid of Xavier. He and Johnson didn't want to outright kill Xavier, but they wanted him incapacitated. Unfortunately the "limbo" they have attained, where Xavier only leads them "sometimes" is much like those compromises where no side feels like they got what they wanted. It has kept Wolverine from really leading; all he does is hold the team together until Charles gives orders, which frankly Storm or Beast could have done with sufficient writing. It takes a little away from Logan's feat.

Some of the "Future X" episodes were pretty decent and had some good moments, but it is hard for me to really take Logan as a leader when all he does is act as Ghost Head Xavier's go-between, which nearly any X-Man would do.

Hopefully the writers change this dynamic in Season 2 and do not just repeat it. Xavier as Zordon got a bit old after 26 episodes; after 52 it will seem lazy.

Does anyone else find all the information from the future abit anti-climactic, I mean at the end of the 25th (or possibly 24th) episode scene were all the sentinals were heading to Genosha would have been alot better if we hadn't have already seen Xavier, Bishop and co. fight a whole bunch of sentinals already.

In addition I think the whole Xavier coma story would have been alot better if instead of clear instructions from Xavier in the future, Wolverine only recieved (sometimes) vague images of the future. Perhaps if Xavier had met Wolverine as soon as he woke up, then maybe he could only contact Wolverine in the past, which would also justify Wolverine leading instead of Storm or anyone else.

Hopefully he will wake up from the coma soon and all of this future leading the present stuff will end.
