i'll admit, I think the only reason I was fine with this storyline is I haven't been following the Phoenix or the x-men all that closely. To me this just felt like a dragonball z arc, and I have a feeling Aaron is going to do some cool things with Echo now. Also they keep saying it, but is this actually the strongest version of the Avengers?

Captain America
Black Panther (definitely had a lot of upgrades the past few years)
Ironman
She-Hulk
Blade and Boy-thing
Thor
Ghost Rider
Captain Marvel
Baby Starbrand

definitely a solid cast, but I feel like there may have been stronger iterations of the team.
