also I don't think Sabretooth is coming back out of the hole that quickly, and I really don't think he's going to be even remotely friendly when he does
I think it could very easily just be a wonky angle on the silhouette and Sabretooth has a very well established angle to be a "troublemaker" in the current status quo
But it could be Feral! We'll find out

I'm currently still enamored with the idea of it being Penance, but it looks like the twins are Penancing separately from one another at the moment, so that wouldn't really make sense
Okay yeah it looks like Fallen Angels might have been either quietly scrapped or planned to be a mini, judging by Psylocke being here
The blurb also makes it sound like the rest of the team are gonna be villains/antiheroes/general miscreants
Gonna guess the top right is Sabretooth, with that context? Freed from his prison for whatever mission statement this group has
I'm going with Feral at the top. Nanny in the middle (though I hope it's No-Girl as it would be interesting to tackle a mutant like her in the post POX/HOX world with resurrection). I'm betting Vulcan at the bottom (maybe Namor), Sinister with the big ole cape, second guy from the bottom I have no clue. Clearly the person with the horns is the Night King from Game of Thrones.

Betsy Braddock is Captain Britain now and in her original body
Psylocke is Kwannon, who has been brought back and is once more in her original body

That is not confusing at all.
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
Betsy is a white lady again and has a new identity in line with her heritage
And Kwannon gets to, y'know, be alive and an actual character
And one of Marvel's most recognizable Asian characters isn't actually a white lady in an asian lady's body any more
It is one of the smartest decisions Marvel has made in a while

correct, it's not!
Becky has been given her own title that she already has history with, and the person that looks like Psylocke and still does psychic ninja stuff still goes by that name
and in doing so, it corrects the issue of Marvel's most prominent asian woman hero actually being a posh british lady in a stolen body, without erasing said prominent asian woman hero in the process.

I mean I just wouldn't have uh Kwannon using the name Psylocke since that is associated with uh Betsy's personality.
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
I would say it is associated with the look more than Betsy's personality
She was called Psylocke back when she was cheery and bubbly with purple hair and kept the name through all of her ups and downs over the years
If you say Psylocke folks aren't gonna say "oh yes the fancy british lady who is Captain Britain's sister" they're gonna say the ninja with psychic knives who wears a swimsuit

I'd say it's confusing for the very small percentage of readership that is familiar with Psylocke's full history but isn't up to date on recent events, but much more clear for everyone else, especially casual fans and new readers just jumping in now.
And the benefits of keeping the character with the look/name people recognize while correcting the weirdly problematic aspects is worth it, especially if it results in two rad characters for the price of one.
Also it's not like they aren't explaining it at all, people actually reading the books are given some information to help them get used to it.

I am uncomfortable with a Native American/ First Nations Character immediately dismissing even the concept that a group of people can have quality schools.

She was dismissing because of her own personal experiences?
Like they are reminiscing about their time as X-Men and Dani Moonstar had a ROUGH FUCKIN TIME as a New Mutant and also in life before she joined the X-Men (brief looks into her past involve being bullied by kids who she was friends with at school for being Native and watching one of them die in her arms)
I absolutely buy her being cynical about education as an institution rather than a small scale personal thing
Also the implication that humans and mutants are completely different psychologically and socially, when the evidence suggests they're far more similar than different.

No, she's dismissing the concept of Human education as a whole. At least, that's what it looks like to me.
I would argue mutants have an inherent difference in their education/upbringing than humans due to the nature of their abilities
If someone has an extremely low-key, minor power like extremely weak telepathy, sure, they will have largely the same needs
But I do not buy for a second that characters like Glob Herman or No-Girl or Beak or Shark Girl or Velocidad or any of the dozens of others would be completely fine receiving the same education and also therapeutic support as human kids
A 13 year old being able to bend steel or shoot lasers from their eyes or have their skin turn into a gelatinous blob of organs is gonna have ISSUES that require specialized care

If the apex of this run isn't "Oh no, we have fucked up by removing ourselves further from humanity", then they fucked up.
But then I'm still of the opinion that they just made them Inhumans.
Yeah, education veering as hard as possible from specialized programs and care for students who either don't fit the "standard" mold or have had personal issues that are affecting their schooling is one of the worst problems with modern education, especially in America
Hell, I would say that our human education system as-is should be thrown in the trash and rebuilt and I'm a white person who didn't have an upbringing full of life or death situations and psychological scars like Dani

Dani, being indigenous, would also have a certain cultural pov on the concept of schooling as it relates to smaller populations in North America what with the whole residential schooling situation in NA's past.
