I hope the fans show a little more "decorum" this time.

The hatred, bile, flaming, and trolling that took place during and after AvX was crazy.

I don't know for a fact but I'm pretty sure some of the craziness was one of the reasons this board got "rebooted".

The board was rebooted in 2014, after Janelle Asselin wrote an article for CBR and some fans lost their minds, for some reason. They threatened, harassed and doxed her.

AvX came out in 2012.

Yes, the fans were antagonistic, but that's exactly what Marvel wanted. They constantly pit fans against each other, i.e. Civil War, and encourage fan "outrage."

Here's hoping fans calm down

Then again Marvel knows what it's doing, pitting fans against one another to create outrage.

That sounds really messed up, and funny enough, this is going to be the 10-year anniversary of AvX. I really hope this story isn't setting up AvX II.

Uh oh I never realised that it was the AvX 10 year anniversary, that's it for sure then urghhh.
I was hoping for something different but we all know how Marvel loves rehashing old stories, atleast Jason Aaron isn't involved, that one plus..

[Gnostic]

Based on what is teased in Destiny of X, it seems that Hope Summers will reclaim the Phoenix Force from Echo.

Wait, is Aaron leaving the Avengers title soon?

[Iron Maiden]

We can only hope...

IIRC, AvX created the wholly unnecessary and regrettable animus between Namor and Black Panther when Namor flooded Wakanda. I am convinced the reason Namor did it was because Emma Frost exercised some influence over him when she had a portion of the Phoenix Force, which amplified her powers to implant suggestions.

Oh boy.... and the fact that they're doing this so soon after Trial Of Magneto. I feel like the pitting of the X-Men against the Avengers will just never stop. It's one of their favorite commercial gimmicks, it seems. I would love to eat my words and this ends up being a team-up story between the two teams... but with the 10-year anniversary of AvX around the corner, I really don't have a good feeling about this.

Wait, is Aaron leaving the Avengers title soon?

I don't know, but I think Aaron doesn't like to be dragged into events that are not his own, because this same thing happened in Empyre: it was a Fantastic Four/Avengers event, and they got the flagship FF writer to it, but Ewing instead of Aaron. Now they're doing an Avengers/X-Men event with the flagship X-Men writer, but Gillen instead of Aaron. It could mean Aaron is leaving, but it could just mean he didn't wanna get involved again. His Avengers run really feels like it lives in its own bubble.

Damn, I joined these boards back in 2015 so I only heard stories about how bad things got from my peers in the T’Challa thread. But things went this damn far? I can only hope things won’t be as toxic this time around but considering this will be the ten year anniversary of Avengers vs X-Men.

Damn, I joined these boards back in 2016 so I only heard stories about how bad things got from my peers in the T’Challa thread. But things went this damn far? I can only hope things won’t be as toxic this time around but considering this will be the ten year anniversary of Avengers vs X-Men.

The wild days, the dark days I remember those days kinda like twitter now

[king of hybrids]

Gillen’s been willing to play along with Aaron’s secret avengers history thus far, and most of his future stuff is time travel/multiverse related so Echo in the present loosing the Phoenix isn’t fatal to his run. I’d say the fact that he wasn’t roped in to finish his run off indicates Avengers Forever at least will be unaffected

I do have to be cynical though and wonder if Echo getting the Phoenix is a cynical insurance policy against someone killing herboff for Hope/Jean/Rachel/Emma to reclaim it

Again? I hated the first AvsX. Geez, let's hear it for the House of rehashed ideas. 'Yawn!'

Yes, the fans were antagonistic, but that's exactly what Marvel wanted. They constantly pit fans against each other, i.e. Civil War, and encourage fan "outrage."

Exactly!

Based on what is teased in Destiny of X, it seems that Hope Summers will reclaim the Phoenix Force from Echo.

'Double-Yawn!"

Gezz, here's an original idea, have heroes team-up with heroes to fight VILLAINS!

Peace

Reminder Marvel made a second Civil War.

Honestly, what I kinda expect is to be like X-Men/Fantastic Four, which follows the "They fight each other over a misunderstanding then team up", which's, pretty meh, but not as bad as a hero vs hero event, but hey, could always be AvXII, and maybe be even worse than the original.
