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.

With all of the other Brotherhood clones I'm hoping this is also a clone of Astra and the real one is behind the scenes manipulating Joseph.

Per SP's response to me below it occurs that maybe she's just topping from the bottom.

...Yeah, probably not.

I guess since Magneto is the mini's star, the writers feel the need to made whoever he's facing worse.

Regardless of, ya know, past characterization and/or logic.
