    But the X-men havent been fighting evil for years. They just been fighting themselves.

    Most of their classic villains are on their team.

    Mutants should not have to change in order for humans to not hate them and harm them.

    That's really all Cyclops has ever said in his "anti-human tirades."

    But they are human.

    Parable Time!

    What if the Democrats started acting like the Republicans. And allowed Republicans that tried to kill them in the past to join the Democrats. The Lead Democrat kills the founder of the Democratic party, and says the politicians are a race and that Republicans and Democrats need to join forces.

    Their new philosophy----Non-politicians and voters are the enemy.


    Now--if you were a longtime fan of the Democratic Party would any of that make sense?

    I don't know what any of that means.

    It all seems pretty irrelevant.

    It seems like you're saying the equivalent of "black people should try to be more white so that white people will accept them."

    "Gay people should try to be more straight so that straight people will accept them."

    "Smart people should try to be dumber so that dumb people will accept them."

    You see how it works?

    Black People do have to speak and dress a certain way to maintain employment in establishments owned by others.


    Gay people desire the ability to marry, and have health coverages similar to straights.


    Smart people use less technical jargon to explain things to laypersons.


    Work like that?

    Did you really just equate equal rights to cultural assimilation? SMH.

    Not going to go round in circles, but you'll see--some assimilation is necessary for acceptance when you are a minority. Iv'e never seen it work any other way historically. Now empires don't need to assimilate--and maybe the naivety is due to being fairly new to minority status.

    So maybe the X-men becoming an empire is the answer.

    The schism itself is a major bone of contention here. People seem to be overly attached to this idea of "family", when it was always anything but.

    Perhaps...The X-men needed to fracture into 2 factions..One Militant and one that works with humans--carrying on Xavier's dream. Too bad Wolverine was put in that role instead of Storm.

    Not tired of X-Men, though I'm getting tired of the X-Men getting treated as punching bags in events, key X-Men being left out of events (Why Rachel didn't have a bigger role in AvX or Rachel and Kitty for AXIS is beyond me), the Schism keeping the X-Men separated, and most X-Books being written as "Fluff" instead of giving us meaningful stories.

    Just look at the video game industry. Vidoegames were much more "hardcore" and only something for "nerds" in the past.
    Nowadays they are mainstream and games have become so simple that even 6-year olds can complete them without a problem.

    Dragon Age: Origins = One of the best and last "old-school" RPGs made
    Dragon Age 2 = Stupid, simple hack and slash fest that was toned down and removed everything that made Origins great.
    Not a really good example. DA2 vastly improved on the combat and the interactions with the companions was a clear improvement over DA:O which makes sense as it was the DA:O formula but improved.

    DA2's only fault is that it was rushed out way earlier than it was ready because EA wanted to force Bioware to release a DA game like every year and that wasn't feasible at all.

    Hawke is also a much better protagonist than the Warden and Inquisitor as well.
