I was never a big avengers fan, but I still liked just about all of them. since avx, I personally don't really like any of them anymore. the iron fist/phoenix connection was so tedious. even when they were possessed by the phoenix force the p5 were still doing good (except namor who has always been a tool). even when namor tried to burn hawkeye alive, it was cyke who made sure he was fully healed (although he never healed his son, that makes sense). mr fantastic even made the point in not wanting to get involved because the p5 were doing good. it was only after repeated attacks by avengers that namor went onto epic tool status and attacked wakanda, which kinda started the end of the whole thing. personally, I find the highlight of the event, is that it showed how not to do an event.
I did like the p5 uniforms. those were wicked. I know avx changed the landscape, but I find it silly that cyke gets branded a terrorist and the avengers don't.
the teams were kind of evenly matched. but I had issues with a few of the one on ones.
one of my biggest gripes is that cyke has been branded responsible for the death of Xavier. he played a part in it sure, but shouldn't the avengers also be held responsible? after all their repeated attacks against the p5, it was only a matter of time before they snapped and someone got killed.
if i'm honest with myself, I still haven't forgiven avx for braking up scott and emma. nor have I forgiven bendis for not bringing them back together.
ooh, I forgot, I like magik a lot after avx. i'm glad I was able end this rant on a positive note. nobody likes being negative all the time :)
