I just posted this comment in the latest marvel news thing but I felt I wanted to know how the actual X-Fans feel about it.
Firstly,
I am horrified by all of this, I get that there is need for change but what is CLEARLY happening with X-Men (I won't include f4 for a particular reason) is awful for me as a fan.
The X-Men have fundimentally been about people being different to one and other, something that Marvel seems to be championing in recent years. However, their recent treatment of X-Men has been so wrong to me as a person who grew up loving the X-Men comics because of their core values. Right now I am only seeing them be segregated from the rest of the Marvel universe and nobody is commenting on that because they are too busy accepting all the "New" characters that support diversity. The X-Men have done this for years! Their whole resurgence came from making them more international. How can a property that has always been trying to encourage diversity and cohabitation be either moved to its own universe/part of a universe/cease to exist/Become villains and fans not be angered by that.
I know this is a rant but I hope someone at least agrees with me, I don't know how to even change this other than by so far dropping all other marvel books than the x-men ones I collect
