Its good to see both teams at each others throats. Blood for blood and an eye for an eye. If the X-men wish to be isolated they need to mind there own damn business. That way less crossovers like this don't happen.
To put it bluntly the X-men or more specific the mythos works far better without the Marvel U. As others have stated it doesn't make sense for mutants to be hated when gamma powered, deities, mystic, cosmic, scientific accident, and many more walk casually amongst the masses as celebrities. What's more how can they tell the difference for example someone like say goofballs could easily lie he wasn't a mutant and received his powers via accident. The point being writers of today have overused the mutant hysteria plot threads that have contributed to the X-mens stagnation pre-Hickman while ignoring the elephant in the room of a shared universe. Add to that whenever the X-men do crossover it leads to shit comics like Avengers vs x-men, onslaught, x-men vs inhumans, uncanny Avengers, and terrible OOC interactions just to boost ego or cheap tension of drama. The X-men haven proven through movies, TV and cartoons they can work without a shared universe time and time again. They have the abundance of characters mutant and humans, aliens, mystical, international heroes and teams and political relevance to stand on there own. Besides X-fans have expressed how much they hated the crossovers, its a win-win for both parties.
To put it bluntly, YES. I have been saying FOR YEARS! Since AvsX that X-men and Avengers will never, co-exist and that the X-men storylines never make sense in a shared universe with other super powered public figures. For those saying this will hurt the story if there not in a shared universe, it won’t. The movies, tv shows, and cartoons have showed time and again the X-men mythos can work outside the Marvel Universe shared continuity. It has the characters, villains, supporting cast and heroes to stand on its own without the meddling affairs that X-fans call the Avengers or Fantastic four to derail there stories and vice versa.
