WTF has happened to the X-Men??? I used to collect them all up until Xavier went missing after the whole Onslaught saga. It was a story arc of awesomeness followed up by utter crap. I figured I'd come back to them when they learnt how to tell a story again. Then came all the deaths. Cheap excitement can be added to a story by killing people off. And then bringing them back. I think Jean has come and gone twice since I stopped reading regularly. Colossus was bloody cremated and his ashes sprinkled into the sea, and he's back! My favourite character was always Beast. We won't even go there. They fucked him with this stupid secondary mutation shit. He's a giant cat and should just be renamed Pussy. I'm seriously pissed over that. And apparently Trish can get it on with a big blue gorilla but not a big blue cat all of a sudden. Way to kill years of character development there.... So I downloaded Uncanny X-Men 500 and 501, just to see what was happening. Now, the movies already coated the series with underlying hint of gayness. People had already linked the mutant hatred to gay hate, and having a gay director and lead villian certainly helped moved along the potential underlying meaning (if you wanted it to be there). So what's happened now? The Mansion is gone, again, and they've decided to set up base elsewhere after all these years. Where? San Francisco... They're living in penthouses, doing a whole lot of rooting, and have decided there is no more "school", but more of a drop in centre. Wolverine does not look like he belongs in such a place and I'm amazed he's there. Beast is excited that he can use his hands again after turning into a cat and is baffled by what a Hot Pocket is. He can cure the Legacy virus, yet this phenomenon has eluded him. As each character is shown, they have little boxes explaining each characters powers, lik this really is a whole new beginning for the series. They are sure to point out Karma's mutant power of being a lesbian... Just kill them all permanently please, so I can remember them in a nice way... |

Holy crap...I heard what you were saying last night about the school, but I didn't realise it was THAT BAD.

Yes it was. And the characters were less messed up in that than they are now, and AoA was intentional. |
