Yes
Too Early To Say
No
certainly not, but the relationship is definitely miles better than it has been.
i think you can see a reflection of that in the comics as well (suddenly there are loads of x-titles and star creators on them out the wazoo).
of course that's speculation, and no confirmed correlation between the smoothed relationship btwn parties and the surge in comics content exists, but imo absolutely implied.
Medusa used the totality of her kingdom as a propaganda machine to slander and humiliate one man, Tony Stark, as well as attempt to completely tank his company, all strictly in the name of revenge. That's petty as hell, no matter which way you cut it.
Maybe Medusa shouldn't have been aiding the US Gov't farm out Ulysses as a Minority Report machine that had already led to the death of both Rhodey and Bruce...and perhaps the Queenly thing to do was NOT to use her monarchical powers in a bid to ruin an already-greiving man's life even further in the name of "saving face".

Lemme guess, when the X-Men started a all out war over someone invading their sovereign island, it's cool. But since the Inhumans do it, in a much more concise and less damaging way, it's not so cool because it's the Inhumans doing it?
Give me a break with that double standard bs.
I'm not an X-Men fan, I generally don't give a damn about them and my comment in no way involved them, so I'm not sure why you brought them up...but regardless, in AvX, Cyclops responded to a demand of strict capitulation backed by a strong show of force, with a similarly aggressive response in order to protect Hope, while they were trying to prepare for a mutant-kind-saving/world-damning event. Regardless on what side you were on during the event, both X-Men and Avengers acted like idiots without a shred of diplomatic capability.
Medusa tanked Tony Stark's company and publicly released his private sex tapes after he kidnapped Ulysses, who the Inhumans and US Gov't were using as a machine for predictive "justice", which got his friends killed. Medusa protecting her citizen was fine, but it was the low-down, petty crap that came after in her attempt to save face that was pretty awful and incredibly ignoble, regardless of whatever stupid stuff the X-Men have done.
Medusa wanted to do two things, get Ulysses back and beat down Tony Stark, Carol asked her to not pursue Ulysses so Medusa beat down Tony in a non physical way instead. There is nothing petty about her behaviour, her actions were reserved compared what justifiable retaliation should have been.
Just because you disagree doesn't change how justified her actions were.
For the AvX situation Scott already told Steve if the Avengers attempted to abduct Hope they'll declare it an act of war and retaliate and Steve was like "OK, bruv".
For the CW2 situation Tony, an American, went behind enemy lines to take back another American citizen from a foreign land because he believed they were holding him under false pretences.
That's some revisionism indeed.
Which for obvious reasons, in print, are completely fabricated.
Ulysses was approached by the Inhumans and chose to reside in New Attilan, he is an Inhuman and therefore a subject of New Attilan so the Americans have no more claim over him than the Inhumans do, it's dual citizenship and Tony is also not in any kind of official capacity when he invaded a sovereign nation to kidnap one of it's citizens and attacked the royal family in the process.
False pretentious is also bs, Tony said plainly his intent was to study Ulysses, not to liberate him of some false pretences.
As for enemy lines, that reeks more of your bias than anything from the story.
I'm not over exaggerating you tried to form a parallel comparing the X-Men and Inhumans islands as enemy lines. The main conflict in CW2 begins because of Tony, the repercussions he experiences are due to his own behaviour and choices.
Nothing happened to the Inhumans because the Inhumans did precise retaliation ensuring there was no collateral damage, something missing from the AVX comparison.
There wasn't any of that collateral damage in AvX; the mutants got invaded, their home destroyed and their people were taken as POWs.
Tony took Ulysses. No punishment was applied to the Inhumans because no one came to Tony's aid when his property was being destroyed meaning there was collateral damage. All they had to do was take Ulysses back.
The Avengers interfering in AVX caused a series of events that lead to the phoenix force splitting up, forming a global dictatorship, later being consolidated in Cyclops and murdering prof x. But sure no collateral damage at all.
The Inhumans only destroyed Tony's personal property, why would someone come to Tony's aid because the Inhumans destroyed his classic car collection?
You're encompassing the entire AvX event.
I'm asking if it's justified for the X-Men to get punished because their counterattack against the Avengers endangered regular people; why is it justified that nothing happens to the Inhumans when they attacked Stark's property located in New York where regular people are around?
This is so stupid. They attack NY but there's not a single person around? Yeah sure...The Inhumans never attacked Stark property in New York, all of their attacks were targeted on empty buildings in empty areas as to only hurt Stark financially.
Then again, this a Marvel problem not an Inhuman problem. It's kind of how X-GOLD moved to Central Park, and we're suppose to act like it's a good idea and we'll be shocked if anyone gets hurt as a result.
