So most of the positive comments I've seen in this thread (admittedly I haven't read all) revolve around the ideas that it is "sweet" or "cute" or some derivation thereof.

X-Men used to be fun and...

Well, at the end of the day it's only a comic anyway, and the marriage probably won't last because it will make for boring stories. It's basically just being used as a boost for sales, not because...

It's interesting how it all contrasts with another "weird relationship" of roughly the same time, that of Carol Danvers and her "child" (can't remember his name), that Shooter judged to be OK, but...

If you look at pure ages then it wasn't a good look at all.

If you read the comics at the time you realise that Kitty was a very unrealistic character. No 13 year-old in real life was anything...

Totally agree.

It wasn't even that creepy back when it initially started in my opinion as Kitty was written as being more mature than her age while Colossus was written as being less mature. But...

Nothing wrong with it as such apart from the fact that it was boring and dull. And gave him the dumbest name possible.

The BWS and Hama Weapon X stuff, in contrast, were interesting, good...

Familiarity leads to boredom. You have to change things up every now and again to keep things fresh. But if you are constantly pushing the same character out constantly then people just get bored...

Just imagine if everyone thought that way. Marvel would never have to make any effort at all, the books could be absolutely terrible and it wouldn't matter because everyone would still be buying. ...

The thing was that was Marvel was a very different place at the time, and not the corporate juggernaut of today. If you read interviews and stories of the time, Claremont kind of pseudo-believed...

My expectations are so low now that I generally just expect that I won't like them. I gave Bendis a try, and enjoyed the first year, but since then nothing. Same in many of the years prior. I...

Yeah, in hindsight I tend to agree that this era was fun enough. It had a different flavour to Claremont and ultimately wasn't as good, I don't think, but I certainly remember having fun with it. ...

Definitely the Claremont era. It had it's ups and downs but overall was definitely the best. There were bright spots afterwards AoA, Morrison, Whedon and even X-Treme to an extent, but it seems...

I'm going to say it. At this point I would be ok with a complete reboot. Even though I have been an x-men fan since the late 80's. X-men just hasn't been that interesting for many years now. I...

Started out with a lot of potential. I thought ANXM would be terrible, the concept seemed stupid, but I actually found myself enjoying it. Then Uncanny came out, with the revolution theme and I...

Sorry, I'll remember to ask your permission next time I want to post my opinion, since it seems only positive opinions that agree with the OP are allowed in this case. My mistake.

I certainly agree that you can't trust anything Marvel says. But if we look at the objective evidence, I can't see any reason why they would cancel X-Men and every reason why they will have at least...

Didn't like it personally. Thought it was too sickly sweet. I'd rather see the conflict and controversy. Makes for better stories. Still have that issue stored away somewhere...

Didn't like...

Austen was on at the same time as Morrison and so was somewhat competing with him. Maybe he was trying to go the radical Morrison route. Maybe that was what editorial were calling for after looking...

I personally think uncanny has been ordinary at best ever since claremont first left way back in 91. There was a brief bump around 2000 when joe casey was briefly on but after that it was back down...

No excuses necessary for me. If I like something I buy it, if not I don't. If I'm fed up with the whole thing I'll leave it behind for awhile. Maybe I'll come back, maybe I won't. Depends how I...

I agree. The relationship is boring as hell. The only time the two of them held any interest for me at all was in the Morrison years when he was shaking them up. I wasn't sad to see it go,...

Uncanny and all-new are the only ones that interest me atm anyway. Occasionally I'll try the others but they usually just bore me.

My advice get what you like and drop what you don't. I was...

This was one of my first issues too, in classic x-men form. My brother bought me a few issues for my birthday including this one, an alpha flight/wendigo issue and the first issue that gambit...

In the last issue of uncanny when he went to madripoor and had the goatee I thought he looked like claremont.

Wolverine has just been overused. I liked him in the 80's because he was mostly just in x-men. He's been ruined in the quest for easy money and now I couldn't care less about him. Dying? Meh.
