@veshark: Oh that's quite alright, Veshark. Contiuning, your reply to me, I never saw it. I can only assume the syntax was wrong for the system to send me a notification. I did note that a colon was missing or perhaps it was just a hiccup in the system itself. Either way had not another person replied to me I would have never been able to retort.
So let's begin,I notice that you seem to keep seeing only the trite statement. That was only part of my initial retort to Hurricane.
So Vapid and Trite if you please veshark. Some things were trite like killing Jean as it is unoriginal, and unimaginative. Some things were vapid as in unstimulating and tasteless such as trash plot lines and characters. Those are just the base examples.
To start, I hold my stance on the characters, so let's move on to mutant relations. You realize that apparently NO ONE knew chuck was doing that. He unilaterally decided to out the school. This was a poor editorial decision as in the "in-universe" relations were NOT stable enough to merit putting an address to mindless hate crimes. Chuck, of all people, would have known this and they deployed it anyway because real world office politics not in-universe ideas. His speech was baseless justification and would NEVER go over in real world politics. The only thing that would have happened would suicide zealots blowing themselves up at gate or something equally horrific.
Retconning Morrison is not a Bendis exclusive and mutant culture? That is cool and everything but sensationalism like it was posed seemed to create more segregation. Mutants are not the punk movement. They don't need to fit into Grant's little counter culture microcosm. They need to be accepted by humanity as their own not an aberration or unintended affront to natural genetics. I personally remember the Xavier dream to be acceptance and integration.
I don't really care too much the physical appearance thing, grotesque, beautiful, homely I don't really care much in any direction. The point that I'm trying to make by opening the doors to constant mutation is a pandora's box it enables future writers to create horrific ends to characters that they don't necessarily like. Real world office politics will use that for their own ends thus it is a bad idea. Bands, fashion designers, and drugs tailored to Mutants? What's wrong with warren doing rainbows of coke of an exotic hookers back? Is he too good for blow? Heroin doesn't do it for him? What if wolvie likes him some 420? I guess Warpath can't listen to Porno For Pyros anymore huh? Not on the approved mutant listening playlist. All of that is largely irrelevant, their are real world equivalents to actual music that would solidify its ability to suspend my disbelief and not just be niche and against the actual goal. I would rather see Dazzler make a comeback into mainstream pop as a storyline than a vapid mutant band playing for its own kind only. It just screams mutants only club. BTW as far as the "cool minority" goes it was a trend during the books, what happens to trends when they fall from favor with mindless masses? Oh yea they become hated. They really need that, to be out of vogue.
By the Scott thing I was largely referring to its still in continuity legacy on the "X" universe as most of the (lasting) changes all seem to hang around Scott neck like a pair of white latex boots. Oh wait. The Captain America thing, sigh, tying wolverine and cap together doesnt really do much for either character besides screwing up classic continuity even worse that some other writers I could mention over the past few years...digressing. Morrison offered me nothing new and/or interesting. Thus his work was trite and vapid.
Unrelated note: I look forward to your new pics! oh, some times when I have a difficult or multi directional lighting source to remind me I draw (a) tiny circle(s) where the source direction is. I hope that helps you.
