I don't think I like this take on Astra and Joseph. Whilst retconning in another founding member of the Brotherhood was sort of okay, I liked that IIRC she left on a point of principle, and resented Magneto, but not in a borderline psychotic way, he annoyed the hell out of her and she saw no reason to stay, and left to pursue a rather dilletante lifestyle around the galaxy (the joys of galactic distance teleportation as a power)
Her grand revenge plan against Magnus wasn't even a particularly grand one. As she said herself when it was all wiped out "You've ruined yea... WEEKS of careful planning" which was refreshingly honest.
She was also an older woman, a contemporary of Magnus and Charles, and whilst her getting some sort of a makeover from her purchased alien tech is not really unexpected, it's a little too easy to make her a young and nubile. Plus Joseph was HER puppet, not the other way around, so I'm not a fan of her lolling at his feet like they're re-enacting Leia and Jabba.
And if we believe Apocalypse (okay, not exactly a reliable sorce, but Mags didn't really object to the statement), she wasn't even really behind Joseph. As Mags had dealt with her prior in such a way that, well, it sounded terminal to me.
I like a good "let me show what a badass dude I am by casually choking my lady" scene as much as the next guy but it's a little stupid when the lady is a teleporter.
Some people like being choked with chains me me me! can't think of any though.... just kidding i don't like being choked with chains.... at least i don't think so...
But we can find out dear! We'll find a strapping young man and I think I have everything we need in this box here that I just so happened to find in my closet!
If I had one that was like Hercules (large muscle bound guy with body hair and can make sure my feet don't touch the floor for an evening)? Well then I'd have to be selfish and keep him!
Hey, I'm a difficult gal to please, what do you want? If it'll make you feel better, I can always find you an Ares or a pre-mutation Hank McCoy if that'll float your boat! And I might be willing to share, just as soon as you find a way to wrestle Nightcrawler away from Icon_UK.

Something about white haired gentlemen in baseball caps just screams midlife crisis.

Oh, you were trying to get captured and brought before Joseph to save yourself some time. My dear, not even Kirk can pull that off reliably.
