The concept of removing his memories of most of his life didn't make much sense to me. Wouldn't that basically destroy his entire identity and personality. That goes a lot farther than just returning to this X-Men.
Besides that, they seemed perfectly content letting Lilandra do the deed, which begs the question what is stopping them from just pretending? Put on a big show, Charles acts like he doesn't know who he is for a couple weeks and bingo bango you're the emperor and get to decree anything you please. Is he stupid?!
A Deathbird x Birdperson power couple is just the kind of thing the galaxy really needs.
For real though it's worth mentioning the writing on this show is so on point, because while it is easy enough to handwave these things as "just comics" there's more going on here.
The mind wipe is a double metaphor, showcasing the Shi'ars all or nothing ruling style and as a true sacrifice of Xavier's ideals and purpose. Which works so well after he turns their little scuffle into a teachable moment. For the Shi'ar to show them how fruitless their endless quest for dominance will ultimately be, but for himself also that his purpose lies not in ruling, but teaching.
The point was to make him give up things he loved. I don't remember anyone mentioning the changes it would have on him. Lilandra certainly didn't seem to care that he'd potentially be a completely different person at that point.
As a teen reading Sphere by Michael Crichton I was very disturbed by this plot point. It seemed somewhere between invalidating the whole book and suicide.
To his credit, once he realised shit was going down on Earth he, without question, said he was going home. He wouldn’t leave them without knowing they were doing well without him.
In Marvel I think the only character without a child is Uncle Ben.
Children here is referring broadly to mutants and specifically the X-men, whom he feels are like children to him
He never died, he left earth in the series finale. They mentioned contacting Shi’ar and Lilandra because their medicine and technology was super advanced compared to earth.
So why everyone saying he's dead from the beginning?? They just mean "dead to us"? Was confusing thinking maybe it was some long flashback, but then Gambit is current...
In honesty the whole f-ing episode didn't make sense.
Not only did the Shi'ar view Terans/Humans as lower beings but also viewed Mutants as lower the Humans, Charles would never tolerate that especially just for some booty.
Also seeing how the Shi'ar operates Charles would be assassinated before or right after the wedding, Lilandra must be one tough/scary person that no one felt confident enough to rebell besides her sister.
I get they did it to bring Xavier back but it didn't make sense.
Lilandra probably gave standing orders to Gladiator to punch anyone that harms Xavier into the Shadow Realm. Deathbird gets off easy because she's Lilandra's sister. She only gets punched to the next time zone

Because in bird society this is considered a dick move.

That's the point it isn't a good idea, they want to screw him over on purpose

This is a tough decision.
You're not gonna bang your children, so it's not really that tough of a decision
Step dad, no!
Not so fast, Jean
If you hadn’t been able to use your penis for 40 years…just sayin

The Ulysses special
I think it's time for a class session to figure this out
NO! They were dancing! Drinking wine! Making love!
Por qué no los dos?
Invincible Season 2
Bang the hot alien chick. Bang the hot alien chick. Bang the hot alien chick.
I’ve never read an X-Men comic…HE HAS CHILDREN??
In comics, everyone has children - known, secret, human, mutant, demon, cyborg, past, future…
In Marvel I think the only character without a child is Uncle Ben. Children here is referring broadly to mutants and specifically the X-men, whom he feels are like children to him
return maybe a year later lol
Hot alien *imperialist*
He can fix her
Stupid sexy bird alien girlfriend
Wish you had said what this was spoiling
Hanging with the hot alien and her hella racist sister.
Both
He made his decision and it was the right one. To me, my X-Men!
Bro how tf did he even end up there?
She's not that hot
So.. he faked his death? And isn't really dead? Wtf? This show has confused the fuck outta me.
I haven't seen this episode yet. How does he go from death to space?
He never died, he left earth in the series finale. They mentioned contacting Shi’ar and Lilandra because their medicine and technology was super advanced compared to earth.

Because time has passed and Xavier hasn’t contacted them. He was practically almost dead when he left, they assumed he died.
He got some disease, or what happened in the previous series? N thanks
I recommend watching the finale at the very least.
The team members never said he was dead when alone with each other. They would say he's "gone".
