    You’re saying it better than me.

    I'll never understand that.

    sometimes in fandom or hero-worship people can get possessive. Almost feels like a sports team rivalry at times.

    When BP and Storm married there was some tension between certain writers and fanbases with Storm being incorporated more in non-Xmen stories like Avengers or Fantastic Four. This kind of came to a head in AvX. Ironically, people don't seem to have a problem with Wolverine popping up anywhere.

    After AvX, Marvel made the Uncanny Avengers book trying to mend things. I think it was well-received but it didn't assuage any of the tension for the fans that still felt some type of way about things. This isn't anything new with Marvel, a few characters have gained intense ire from fans through the years.

    If you read comics at the time you might remember that a lot of readers hated Cyclops from 2008 to 2016, based on how he was written from X-Force to AvX and beyond. I don't remember exactly what happens near the end. A younger, version of Cyclops comes to the present from the past. Then the older version dies or fakes his death. Anyway, fans seem to have gotten over it. Just like they got over Ironman's terrible actions in Civil War or Namor's actions in AvX. People haven't forgiven Pym slapping Janet tho. I think that one is never going away. But, I digress.

    Two of my least favorite Marvel stories were AvX and One More Day, regardless I moved on. But that's not everyone, take a dive into some corners of 4chan or Reddit and you'll see. People don't forget lol

    true.

    it's like writers attacked them personally or something.

    anyway, this arc had good art and it was the only good thing.

    I think part of that is also new people who read them and go online to complain about it which kicks up dust and attracts the old crowd back. Then you rinse and repeat.

    People usually move on once the next thing comes out, in the case of the Phoenix though, Marvel just won't let the fire bird stay nearly as obscure as I would like it to be. Honestly I'd be fine never seeing it again after this, I know that won't happen, though.

    Thanks for posting all of these Phoenix character looks, Juan. I like seeing all the variations. Of course, some are much better than others.

    Well, on a scale from 1 to 10 on how utterly idiotic this was...20! It was so goddamn idiotic i really don't know what could possibly taken from this as a positive aside from actually having a tournament style battles unlike X of Swords, which i gave a 14 on the idiotic scale.
