Who is better X-Men writer: Bendis or Hickman?

[butterflykyss]

every other character serve as wallpapper with the same voice, 0 notion of their continuity, lore or even conections.

100% correct boo!

Such dialogue, such pacing that it took mystique over 4 issues to achieve nothing at all.

We got a lot of great dialogue during that era u.u

Tyke's face is perfect for that dialogue.

What I know and read of Bendis' X-Men (gay Iceman, TO5, shady Beast) bored me.
Everything HiX-Man has orchestrated since HoX 01 has excited me.

A lot of people like to talk about Hickman’s X-Men as OOC, but do you remember how Bendis wrote the X-Men at the Jean Grey School? They were incredibly irrational, judgemental, and all around the worst (he did my girl Storm especially dirty).

Also, even though Teen Jean got “developed” she still ended the run by OUTING someone. It makes me sick that a writer in 2015 thought that it would be cute for a straight white girl to out and embarrass her friend and then gets props for it.

I think outing Iceman in theory is a pretty solid idea and actually poises him to be able to provide some diversity to other media adaptations (provided Disney does more with him than the throwaway lesbian kiss we got in TROS).

The actual execution seems to have left a lot to be desired though. Especially Jean outing him. Why was Bendis good for Jean again?

Jean didn't outed him, she just made him face it.

The X-men may have been OOC in Bendis’ run too but it was entertaining, vibrant… Fictions should give the illusion of life. Hickman’s X-men are so cold. And pompous.
The fact that they never have looked so young doesn’t help, too… to imagine they have a lifetime behind them.

Seriously??

[spirit2011]

Seriously??

she just talked with him, she was a Teenager and just wanted to help. She kept it private

She went into his head and neither young Bobby nor Old Bobby were happy with it. It was like seeing a person's browser history, finding something gay and telling them "yo you're gay I know because I invaded your privacy, now come out to everyone".

I gave my vote to Hickman. While I think Bendis had good ideas, the execution wasn't always great, and often missed the mark. Thus far Hickman has been really delivering and has done a lot to push the franchise forward.

While I enjoyed having a version of Jean back, I honestly wasn't always thrilled with how BMB wrote the character. She was powerful and at the forefront of his story, but she often lacked a number of qualities I associate with Jean. His fondness of the character, I'm sure played a part in Marvel's approval of the adults resurrection, and I'm grateful for that, but he isn't one of Jean's better writers. However, I always thoroughly enjoyed his Kitty and Magik.

You’re adding to that it’s wrong to state such things: you should feel free to love who you want. And not thinking: “Jean told me I was gay, so my attraction to this woman is wrong.”
But she was a teenager…
