So my Mom bought me the omnibus for Christmas. I just finished it because it was a gift, and what the fuck was this event. Why is everyone an asshole? Why do they all immediately want to kill each other? Why is Scott treated like he's fucking Hitler right off the jump?
>>152194490When your story features the main plot device incinerating planets it is very hard to make the guys whose goal is having it on Earth look reasonable.
>>152194542When the end goal of one of sides is to use said planet incinerating plot device to forcibly turn thousands of people into mutants against their will then it's even harder to make them look reasonable.
>>152194490Hero vs hero was Marvel's big gimmick for a while
mugga
>>152194490You think that's bad you should read how Cyclops was treated post-event
>>152194490>Why is everyone an asshole?Because during the 00s Marvel drove off most of the old readership in favor of a readership who was fine with characters being made assholes and helpfully assisted in gaslighting people into thinking Change Is Good to dumb down their standards in order to inevitably accept shit like thisIronically the people who liked this event went on to join the Comicsgate side when they realized Marvel didn't care about them, either
>>152194490>Why is Scott treated like he's fucking Hitler right off the jump?did you not understand that he was building a fascist ethnostate off the coast of San Franciscolike OK sure it's probably not in that edition but>Magneto literally murdered a bunch of journalists by dropping a stadium on them, because he didn't like the questions they were asking him or the tone they used>Scott had already been to the UN and demanded recognition for this, the fifth or sixth mutant ethnostate (and the first led by Scott, but like the third led by Magneto), in return for which he promised to maybe not kill everybody, unless they did things he didn't like at some future time>Hope isn't actually Scott's granddaughter, she's the child of some random couple from like Nebraska or some shit, Cable kidnapped her and raised her in the future (while Bishop, who is still an X-Man, committed multiple genocides trying to prevent Cable and Hope from surviving, because Bishop thinks Hope brings about the future he's from, because Bishop is dumb as shit>Hope's biological family were permitted to meet her only in the weirdest possible circumstances where they were told if she went back to live with them, or anybody found out they were related, everybody would die>Scott believed at this time that Hope was the reincarnation of Jean Grey (or possibly Madelyne Pryor) and destined to host the Phoenix Force, so his training Hope for that eventuality consisted of kicking her in the ribs while she's doing pushups, screaming incoherently at her, ignoring his actual wife the supervillain Emma Frost, calling anybody who disagrees with him Hitler, and jerking off in secret to the kidnapped 16 year old he pretends is his granddaughter who can never leave his fortress island where he makes his threats against real countries fromI mean, Scott's been a complete asshole since 2007, he couldn't be a worse character if he was in a rap-rock group that exclusively plays frat parties
>>152194490>mom knows you like superhero comics>buys you some absolute capeslopSorry anon.
>>152195255>Magneto literally murdered a bunch of journalists by dropping a stadium on them, because he didn't like the questions they were asking him or the tone they usedAs much as I despise the character this feels like one of those lies secondaries tell when they make these posts
>>152195307It's okay, she's in her 70's and doesn't really know much about them. She bought the omni at goodwill for like $30.As they say it's the thought that counts and I appreciate it even if the book wasn't very good.
>>152195255You left out the book ignores Scott's actual, albeit alt-universe, daughter who hosted the Phoenix for years.
>>152194490I am saddened to tell you the only palatable way to ingest AvX is thishttps://www.nuzlocke.com/comics/muh-phoenix
>>152194490It's been 13 years since this.
>>152195399Based outlook. My mom used to usually give me cool gifts since she was into genre stuff, but we always appreciated the sentiment more.
>>152195255Chadcism is good tho
>>152195470>FUCKING GLOB HERMAN? >That's bullshit my eyes are fine.>Phoenix force talking like Stinkmeaner>Come on Logan, you ARE my mugga, aren't you? >Foreshadowing Tony and Emma hooking up in the actual comic books
>>152194490Bendis.
>>152195470This made AvX worth it
>>152194490This crawled so Muh Phoenix could run.
>>152195470>Fuck you, Deadpool.
I remember reading this when I was just getting into comics and then reading Bendis' X-men and being very confused as to why Cyclops was out of custody.
