I appreciate these little callbacks to the X-Men’s origins, even if they are facilitated by Cyclops being super neurotic. Little scenes like this serve to not only memorialize the losses the X-Men have suffered over the years, but they also validate the history of the X-Men’s oldest stories which gives the whole series a sense of authenticity and realism. And honestly, after almost 30 years of comics, only three X-Men have been killed? That’s not bad! That’s better than Walmart, isn’t it? How many people have died on the job at Walmart? Never mind I don’t want to know. Hey speaking of authenticity, what is this shit!
