This is my first post on CV, I've been reading here for some time, but now I kinda had to put it all out =) (sorry for my English, I'll do my best)
First of all I have this feeling that there's a lot of disagreements and other ego stuff between the writers, how's that? In the end of Children's Crusade, Wanda was like "I don't want to be with the Avengers, they're an army, not a family now". Where is she now? By the end of XM Legacy, Rogue was all optimistic and finally kinda happy, now she's bitter and negative. And most of all, I have a strong feeling that not all of the writers accept the Xorneto retcon, by referring to the NY destruction as it really was Magneto. And we had AVX.. We all know what a piece of **** was it, and I have a bunch of stuff to say about it as well, but this is not a place. What I will do say, referring to AVX, there is too much hypocrisy of some characters (that represented the "right" side of the story) that was "overloading" and was too hard to not notice. Beast is a natural true hero, with a code of morality. That's why he left Utopia and was pro-Avengers in AVX. Now, in New Avengers, he is a "mutant, who by being mutant knows when he has to do what is necessary" and accepts to destroy another world. Wolverine is headmaster and a "professor" in a school, who takes pro-Avengers side in a story, where mutant fate is at stake, but in UXF after everything that happened (a real mess) says to Beast "I'm asking from you to be an X-men for now, not an Avenger" and to accept everything he sees. Captain America\Cyclops discussion in the end of the AVX series was a total nonsense, CA attacked him like it was all Scotts fault, when actually all Cyclops had to say is "PF WAS COMING for Hope, Hope did revive the X-gene, I was right, you and your smarta**es were not. This conflict was pointless and the consequences are on YOU". Same with Wolvie in #Uncanny Avengers #9. Why do I have this feeling when CA speaks, there is no other truth and what he says becomes is a law in MU (actually, the first page of the last UA issue is referring exactly to this, that's why I liked it from the beginning) . For me, he is an outdated character that needs to be expended =)
What I'm trying to say is UA just another consequence of a mess that already exists for too much time, I mean everything between the XM (mutants) and the Avengers (rest of the heroes and the world). MU tried to handle it with AVX and uniting the heroes under Avengers image (and by sacrificing Cyclops and the other now UXM), we know how exactly has it gone... But I like UA as a story, very intriguing, good art, some expectations.
@hawk2916: I don't think SW has to die, but definitely she has to be punished. Instead of trying to poorly rehabilitate Wanda in our eyes in AVX with all this pathetic "chaos magic is PF kryptonite and being the key of its defeat", PF Cyclops should have DEPOWER her, completely and with never coming back. I can't accept the fact that she depowered millions of mutants and remains one of the most powerful ones.
