>>124489461>solve the fucking economic crisis that the galaxy was going throughSetting aside it's an economic crisis created just for this plotline, they haven't solved shit. They're simply providing a bailout that will only continue as long as political concessions are continued to be made with the express purpose of securing Shi'ar, and by extension Krakoan, dominance. It's basically no different than what China is doing in Africa.
>>124490894You realize the X-Men did the exact same thing for their entire existence until now? Fuck, Hickman bothered to remember that he had Tony Stark build a goddamn Dyson swarm during Time Runs Out yet the narrative acts like it doesn't count or something. Shit, why doesn't Tony simply offer a limited version of Extremis for free? Fuck your mutant flower drugs, how would you like to have all your ailments, physical and mental, cured immediate, get the 10/10 body you always dreamed of, and extend your lifespan to boot? You want to be a woman? Bam, you're a woman! Go full fucking fetish-tier with your body? Done! Maybe if you pass a psych test you can even unlock the superpowers package.
>>124489436None of this is new though. The X-Men, Inhumans, and Avengers have been major players in galactic politics before, and have crushed prior military actions against Earth. SWORD has existed for years as well, this is just the first time they're not immediately jobbing once a hostile alien shows up and even now it's still a tossup.
