[QUOTE="Kahuna Burger, post: 1235394, member: 8439"] X-Factor. let me count the ways that this peice of tripe was wrong. 1) bringing back the original X Men... uh, guys, the original xmen were a failed series, and probably for good reason. 2) let the woman who missed it all make the moral judgements. Jean Grey comes back from the dead and has missed everything that lead up to the changes she sees before her. Rather than trying to explain what's happened, everyone just decides that her uninformed outrage is right and starts playing along with her. 3) Scott summers, adulterer, deadbeat dad and hero. This guy gets a call that his old girlfriend has returned from the dead, and walks out on his wife and son without a word of explaination. His behavior is never truely questioned, and the writers do a horrible retcon to make Maddy "always evil" as though that makes everything acceptable. This wouldn't be quite as bad if he hadn't pulled this stunt once already with (2?) other women when he thought jean was dead and lied about it afterwards. 4) good stuff = jean, bad stuff = phoenix. The dark phoenix saga was one of the coolest "power corrupts" stories marvel has ever done, and X factor managed to completely destroy any meaning from it by assigning every bad thing done to "the destructive nature of the phoenix" and every good thing to "jean's personality fighting through". Oh and since maddy was her clone, anything good maddy did was really jean too... and nathan is Jean's kid, we'll just look at maddy as a surrogate. 5) amazingly powerful washed up superheroes. Iceman will always be lame. Always. He can be overpowered, underpowered, insane, good, evil, he's just LAME, ok? And that goes double for angel. There's probably more, but I think thats enough to explain why I consider X Factor to be the worst X title ever concieved.... Kahuna burger [/QUOTE]
