Generation Legacy the Next Generation of OOC

[Shalimar]

LOL yeah that was interesting, the Phoenix resolution was really weak though

The fact that she was suppoused to be Magneto's trump card and then she just spent the entire fight between the brotherhood and the army standing around looking bored was really stupid. Ratner really can't handle more then 1 storyline.

I will agree the plot was a mess

The alternate endings are weak too, although the Rogue alternate ending would have been more apt, where she kept her powers.

Maybe she was bored. I think it would have been funny if Magneto asks for help, then she just asks "Why?" Although this will be Death Number Two for Jean Grey.

Very true Hammerhead, she could have been bored.

At least the teens of Legacy are not bored

They can put these eventful days behind them somewhat, and return to some normalcy.

If she was bored, then that's a problem too. The initial portrayal of the Phoenix was that she's passionate and destructive. Just standing around bored runs a bit contrary to that.

Yeah, like I said, the whole plot for her was pretty messy. Either focus on the Phoenix or the Cure but doing both was pretty dumb, since neither really got justice.

Probably because her mom made the original nanites, they figure she gave her own daughter some upgraded ones.

And the Phoenix, despite being this huge historical story in the X-mythos, isn't a very good X-Men story. A good story on its own, sure. A good Avengers or Fantastic Four story, maybe.

The Cure story actually raises some interesting philosophical questions that fit well into the mythos. It could have been a worthy successor to X2. But then I'm one of those eccentrics who sees the essential tensions as those between a Magneto who is a bit worrying because it's entirely possible that he's right, an Xavier so idealistic that he's sometimes a victim of his own convictions, and a humanity that is at the very least pretty anxious about these superpeople and has good reason to be so. Trips into space, cosmic entities, these things are really beside the point.

A more personal exploration of these issues could be interesting, but probably not conducive to a monthly team book. What am I becoming? What am I really? Where do my loyalties lie? It could be done, but it really reads more like a story with a lone protagonist of changing and changeable commitments. You know, like a teenaged mecha pilot. Phoenix could fit very well into that.

I had a point when I started writing this which I have now forgotten. Oh well.

I think the cure bit would have been interesting enough on it's own. The whole divisive war would have been good. No need to kill Xavier or Cyclops out o fhand.


But then I personally I think the Charles Xavier from the Ultimate X-men is the best on. One that is very much not a 'good guy' in his tactics. He has little computions of using a criminal to do things he needs to do or manipulate events to follow his agenda.

Totally unrelated, but I love Battlestar Galactica, carry on.
