* Thou shall kill : Xavier having a gun to headshot people, Cyclops giving a mercy kill coldly... the x-men became soldiers.
* Darkness induced audience apathy : though there are numerous fun moments and bright spots, the comics was devoided of joy or personnal interraction outside of Emma/Scott/Jean/Logan. Beast biggest moments are faking a coming out and getting pummeled by beak. The aesop of the whole run seems to be 'it's okay to make out on your dead's wife grave, it'll save the world".
I'm aware not everything is Morrison's fault though, there was a lot of editorial mendate and I should have phrase I don't like his run, not the guy. ^^"
