[QUOTE="Staffan, post: 9394269, member: 907"] So, I watched the whole thing now, and my first reaction was "[B]Damn[/B], they sure are speedrunning through the plotlines." E is for Extinction (with a touch of mutant Utopia-Krakoa), The Trial of Magneto, Operation Zero Tolerance, Lifedeath and the rest of Storm's depowered period, and God damn [B]Inferno[/B]! This could definitely have benefitted from a slower pace, particularly Inferno and Storm. Both of those are beloved plotlines (and to a large degree overlapping) precisely [B]because[/B] they were allowed to cook for so long in the comics. Maddy first showed up in Uncanny 168, when Jean Grey was believed dead. Jean returned three years later, and Inferno was another three years after that (of course, it wasn't like Inferno was planned out from the start – Maddy was supposed to be Scott's Happily Ever After, but then Kurt Busiek had to go ruin it). But taking the show for what it is, I liked it. A lot. And they sure went hard. [/QUOTE]
