    You're giving them too much credit.

    Its not that the X-office gave proper grieving time to the Dead X-men - it actually seemed more like a reaction to the backlash against how their deaths was...

    The problem with the likely redemption is now it has some form of telepathic coercion.

    Even if the series ends with Moira redeeming herself by ultimately choosing death and sacrifice to help the...

    I felt the same way.

    I should be intrigued and excited by everything that is going on, and yet it all feels so by-the-numbers. Gillen's writing is definitely of higher quality and planning than...

    Counterpoint: X-Force series intrinsically aren't good as an ongoing comic, and instead better suited to being a limited series (less than 8-10 issues). Hence why they can start off pretty...

    I agree - there was so much runway for Editorial to have set up Rise/Fall to build up story points and flow smoothly. Immortal wasted time on Colossus and having Doug claim that the QC should...

    Maybe he is spread too thin now that he is more in charge and responsible?

    I quite enjoyed his Kid Cable series. Regardless of some people's dislike of Kid Cable the character, Duggan at least put...

    And it barely makes sense in the story context.

    She doesn't trust Nimrod/OS so she frees Cyclops. But her ultimate plan is to just talk to Nimrod like its still her husband. If that was her plan,...

    You're right, I was not aware of it being covered in Unlimited.

    Exactly that. While the imagery of Sword stations in the sky creating an X-symbol is a neat idea, neither station played a role in the story, until now.
    X of Swords used the same idea of teleporting...

    I felt like I was reading Mark Miller's Ultimate X-men. I half expected Blob to show up with some cannibalistic dialogue.

    I really did not like the Stasis story scenes here, as it felt like Duggan...

    I forget, did the X-men deactivate the booby trap in Cyclops?

    This conversation between Cyke and Gregor is a little too contrived, as Cyclops didn't escape because all parties involved know that...

    Arno Stark always seemed like an Armor design in search of a character. Someone came up with the 'cool' armor design and then tried to retrofit a character to meet that. The problem was that while...

    While I am all for ignoring whatever James Gunn says about DC movies until we actually see a trailer/official release (he seems to just never stop talking), when it comes to using pronouns based on a...

    It will turn out that Coffee(R) cures mutants of Sinister genetic manipulation, and when poured onto Machines/Robots, is even more effective than Krakoan amber. It will also block any future...

    I think the end of Rise of Powers of X, Resurrection of Magneto, and all other Xbooks going forward, will have Polaris show up with coffee in hand, and dismantle Dominons / bring back Magneto to life...

    You're not missing much. Over in Iron Man, he gave her those rings as a gift, and then later in the issue, they both fire at a Stark Sentinel and destroy it using the same blue-white colored energy....

    Suicide Squad movies kinda did that with Will Smith and Idris Elba's characters. I wonder how many audience members just assumed they were the same character and didn't bat an eye.

    Dunno if Gunn would want to reuse the Cyborg character, since his character is now weirdly associated with the failed Justice League (both on screen and off screen).


    Having said that, Cyborg...

    I can see the point you're trying to make.

    It is similar to the idea of movies having terrorist played by any brown skinned actor; having the Asian character be identified as the other (even if...

    Yeah, agree on both points - a fun read if I try not to think past the superficial.

    There's a little too much naivete with the Dead X-men. It might makes sense if these characters were written...

    I agree.

    His X-men Red and Resurrection of Magneto are comics that could happen at any time in X-book history and aren't shackled to the dumpsterfire that the Fall of X has become. There is a...

    X-men are a weird property, in that it is well known IP, and beloved by many, but the movies have never really done super amazing.
