I'm rewatching these as we speak lol.

[QUOTE=Tien Long;5876395]Really liked Remender's run on Uncanny Avengers. Initially, I didn't appreciate his story format. I felt it was too long. Seriously, the whole story with the Apocalypse kids and Kang just seemed to drag on and on. However, reading it in it's totality, I see how awesome it is. Remender knew how to raise the stakes, destroy any sense of hope, but then pivot and convince the reader that yeah Uncanny Avengers just might pull this through. It was also a cool blend of Avengers and X-Men history, heroes, and villains.
Wish we could see that Unity Squad one more time.[/QUOTE]
[center]I know, right?! Definitely deserving of another chance...

Speaking of current matters I won't be surprised if avenger prime turned out to be either Jane Foster or Devil Stark. :p

The team just kind of bickered or argued too much for my liking. Like, I get that was part of the point to some extent but it made them come off as unlikeable (especially in the context of the way Remender wrote Wanda's guilt, or lack there of, towards Mutants).
I liked the concept, the roster, and the scope, but Duggan delivered a more fun Unity Squad, short-lived as it was.

If only they'd been allowed to use Wanda and Pietro it would have been perfect.

If only they had gotten a third season...
I really enjoyed the Uncanny Avengers group, more so under Duggan than Remender and would have loved to see that book continue. And while not the worst run, I've just not been able to get into Aaron's run. I appreciate Aaron's interest in the Phoenix Force, but seriously haven't cared for his handling of the 'character'.
The one thing I wish they would do is bring Songbird into the Avengers. Maybe Kurt Busiek needs to return to the book. I loved the line-up for the original Forever mini series.

I...don't see that happening. Marvel has proven talent like Dan Jurgens, Kurt Busiek, Fabian Nicieza, Ron Lim but they seem to be kept at the outskirts of the Marvel Universe. I find it strange because out of the current generation of writers working on Marvel titles there is only four I would consider [I][B]stars[/B][/I] Cates, Ewing, Slott, Zdarsky. Now...[B][I][U]how many[/U][/I][/B] superhero titles does Marvel crank out?
Maybe the editors just want to work with the people they know?
Is the current talent cheaper, easier to control?
Is the older talent intimidating, too expensive?

Exactly this!

I did not like the Remender run for the exact reason you didn’t. And I bought the Omni for the same reason you did. I just haven’t reread it yet. Wish they’d release the second Omni. I enjoyed that rum much more.
How about--the oddball teams!

[center]In agreement with everything you've mentioned, especially about [B]Songbird[/B]. Let the prophecy be fulfilled, I'd say...

I agree! It wasn't perfect (far from it), however, compared to what we were getting at the time, it was awsome!
Peace
