John is delving into X-Men history and retcons:
John: christ
John: check out this retcon
John: Later on, Professor Charles Xavier recruits Wolverine to a new team of X-Men. Disillusioned with his Canadian intelligence work and intrigued by Xavier's offer, Logan resigns from Department H.[27] It was later revealed, however, that Professor X had wiped Logan's memories and forced him to join the X-Men after Wolverine was sent to assassinate Xavier.[28]
Snacky: what the heck? I never heard that one!
John: it's a newish retcon
Snacky: man, when did they decided that Xavier was just a dick and nothing else was good storytelling?
Snacky: I mean, I always got he was kind of flawed, and had done things he regretted, but whenever they retcon things, it's like, "Let's see who we can ruin today! Is Gambit available? Rogue? Wolverine? No? Crap, guess we gotta make Xavier suck some more then."
John: retcon: everytime xavier was eating with the x-men, he was actually eating mutant kittens
Snacky: next thing you know, it's going to be retconned that he gave them irradiated water to drink as children to cause them to become mutants, and he was just making up the X-gene all along
John: ahahahah!
Snacky: and that he's mind-controlled them all for the better parts of their lives and everything they think is free will and choice is just Xavier playing with them like they were Barbie dolls
Snacky: "Today I think I'll make Scott and Jean fall in love. Later I'll have that hairy little creature come between them. I'll kill Jean a few times and then see where we end up."
Snacky: did you know that Claremont's original plan wasn't that Logan was a mutant, it was that he actually evolved from a goddamned wolverine
John: I love the wolverine as a wolverine idea
Snacky: Just a wolverine who learned to walk upright!
John: christ

Oh my god, speaking of him and that story, there WAS a Marvel miniseries heavily along those lines, but with the whole universe all wrong and gross.
He was the top comment to the S_D post going 'I really liked this!'
