Your Unpopular/Controversial Opinions on the X-Universe

[Hizashi]

Nah. The Phoenix Force shouldn't be the Force from Star Wars.



The Dauterman ones are bad too. They are just bad with fantastic art.

Dauterman is hit-or-miss for me, but your assessment is pretty much correct.

Don't know if this unpopular or controversial, but I want the nation of Krakoa to stick around even after Hickman is gone. I think it'd be interesting to see the X-Men go back to more traditional superheroics while still having a space they can call their own.

The consensus seems to be that this status quo should remain even after Hickman departs; I would rather it didn’t.

Or atleast do Both: krakoa stuff and more traditional X-Men shenanigans.

My unpopular opinion: the Xmen live action should be on 12 episode seasons instead of the 2 hour movie every 2-3 years.

And the live action tv can be enhanced by the most expensive/advanced animated series.

That really depends for me on what one means when they say they want Krakoa stuff.

I agree with your second point though.

I would be okay with Krakoa sticking around (after a revamp and getting rid of some f the villains they welcome) but I'd rather it be a home for mutants than a base for the X-men.

Unless the shows have game of thrones budget id'd rather we get live action movies but instead of just one core x-men film every 2-3, have multiple x-men films based on the different teams.

I can agree on that. Krakoa can remain, acting as mutantkind’s central hub though I’d rather not have everyone huddled up together there. Rather, it remains as their nation and a safe haven for mutantkind but different factions of mutantkind live and function out in the world rather than everything functioning on Krakoa.

I hope the resurrection protocol changes or is gone when Hickman's done. I get that it's so the mutants aren't just killed off for misery porn, but otherwise for weaker writers it'll be too tempting during a big event to just have the new baddie rip the X-Men apart to make them look tough, just because they can pop up back to life. Maybe out a cap on the number of times they can be revived (10?), so that way there's at least a little semblance of narrative tension.

But...that already happened before the Resurrection Protocols.

I mean the big dumb event villains usually beat people up to look tough but now they can just gratuitously gore A-list characters to look important on a regular basis.

But they already did that. No event happened without at least a few gratuitous deaths.

[Hizashi]

I wonder if having resurrection available is making the X-Men careless or if it doesn't matter so they figure we may as well kill them now that we don't have to worry about plot armor. I mean, shouldn't there be a threshold to what will/would kill them?

[Wiccan]

Yeah. Marvel has always killed characters for shock value or to make things seem important. The fact that they had to come up with a convoluted way to bring them back later was one of the worst parts of that, and now that's been fixed.

[gonnagiveittoya]

So now having a shock death every few issues is better?

Death is still meaningless, just on the other end of the scale?
