I guess now it makes sense as to why all the important stuff for the Mansion is underground. The mansion is mostly just the home / facade side of things. Makes me wonder why they occasionally abandon the mansion whenever it's destroyed. Wouldn't most of the underground stuff be intact and functional?

Also, is there any other team that gets their headquarters crushed as much as the X-Men? Genuinely curious. I guess Wayne Manor but I don't even know if those digits are comparable.

During the New Mutants/X-Force transition they did do just that.

It's got to be one of the 10 acceptable X-Plots at this point alongside Go to Savage Land, Go to Space, and oh look Chuck's kind of a dick.
 
Oh yeah, it's the easiest way to show that things are super serious for the hero this time- destroy their home base. Fortress of Solitude, Batcave, X Mansion, Enterprise, etc. No matter how many times it gets destroyed, one thing is for sure- it'll get destroyed again.

Have you ever tried to sleep next to a construction site?!

I've had the displeasure too many times.

Also gotta wonder what those contractors think and how NDA'd they are.

Man, construction workers yelling at each other really tweaks me. Got a condo going up down the block and I can hear them swearing and getting into it with each other. I've worked on worksites and it's never just because the site is loud. It's like that's the excuse to be an aggro ahole.

I spent a couple years early last decade running wire under houses for an A/V install company, and holy fuck was that the most toxic job I’ve ever had. One of my coworkers regularly brought a gun to our worksites, even the super-ritzy celebrity McMansions we worked in. My crew boss was a demented biker with a traumatic brain injury from a motorcycle accident and was literally a violent psychopath as a result: I’m talking kicking me while I was on the ground working cable connections, throwing equipment at my head, yelling and screaming, really crazy shit, and then he’d make us help him film his reel submissions for film auditions. He’d drive to sites on a bright orange Russian sidecar motorbike he bought because he thought it would get him noticed around town and hired for gigs. He’d sell used gear we de-installed and replaced from people’s houses “out the back of the truck”. He had all kinds of remarkable racist vocabulary for the day laborers who were often working on our sites. He told a story about how he made his wife put on her wedding dress every year on their anniversary, and if it didn’t fit she had 30 days to get back into it.
He’s divorced now. 😬

(And I have super apes at my bidding but only when my relatives go out of town and ask me to play the patron saint of pizza and videogames for the weekend, "IS THERE WATER RUNNING?!?!" is apparently the house motto.)

Well, @RichardSimmonsRobot, I'm just saying if you DO ever find yourself in need of any supplemental super apes, I'm obviously the silverback to talk to.

Abso-frikkin’-lutely. It’s why I currently have LooseCollector’s Bigfoot on pre-order because that thing is 10 inches tall (exactly the height Sasquatch should be compared to Legends), and he’s just a head sculpt away from Walter.

Well I wish I hadn’t just Googled that. Gotta talk myself out of some impulse spending now…

Review showing off the effect/tentacle swappability between new and old Sentinel, something I haven't seen many folks talk about yet. Looks good. Happy I grabbed one.
