Learning about oceanography has kinda fucked me up re: siege of x-41 and also the atlantean plot lines from 2010ish that it’s built on. bc like. “Black smokers trench”. Ok. So trenches are like subduction zones right. Convergent plate borders. And hydrothermal vents like to form at mid ocean ridges. Divergent plate borders. Or in other cases, NEAR subduction zones and trenches… but not IN them. Like ok so when oceanic crust subducts under other crust to form a trench, all that crust gets like ‘melted’ down and there’s a lot of volcanic activity PARALLEL to the trench but not IN the trench. Like ok Stuart Moore I get that you wanted to make up a location suitable to this deep sea fish vampire plot. And whether you knew it or not, the two features you chose to lump together are both deeply rooted in tectonic activity. But like. Dude. This really is not how it works. At all. 💙

#namor the first mutant may have given us alani fish mode but kt was NOT a very good book #and tristan palmgren i love you very much and its a very good book . but this is Fucking With Me.#extra bothers me that i believe the location is in the pacific and the ‘trench’ runs east-west #like? do you mean a fucking fracture zone ?#my suspension of disbelief re: fish vampires and human bodies at depths over 1600m and undescribable beastgods is intact #but my suspension of disbelief re: bathymetric / tectonic features is NOT #this post will make no sense to anyone but me i bet <3 #x men #dont know how the fuck else to tsg this .
