scans_dailyTwo panels from AVENGERS VS. X-MEN #1. And some rambling afterwards.
Where do I begin?
Cyclops is looking through rose-colored glasses (zing!) to think the Phoenix Force coming to Earth might be a good thing. Phoenix will fix things for mutants exactly how? There will be mutant births? And (as I've said before) those mutants won't get their powers until they are teenagers (minus any time travel tomfoolery). Unless they just "activate" like the Five Lights, which STILL doesn't make sense, even by X-Men standards.
It would be nice if Cyclops said "It has to be Hope's decision." Except Cyclops doesn't want it to be Hope's decision.
Captain America can't be wrong. That was the point behind Civil War. And why things fell apart during Secret Invasion, which led to Dark Reign. Yes, it can be annoying, and is why Iron Man was turned into a fascist. But that's how it is. Captain America can't be wrong.
One point that Cyclops *might* have is Cap being too far away from everything. Grant Morrison's reveal that Project: Rebirth and the Super Soldier Serum was originally supposed to kill mutants, not Nazis, may be a factor. (Thanks, Grant! I say sarcastically.)
So, basically, Captain America can't be wrong and Cyclops is an idiot with some minor points. Well, that resolves A VS. X for me!

Date: 2012-04-11 09:54 am (UTC)And really making Tony forget everything pretty much invalidated one of the defining moments of that event for him (and one of the only saving graces from that event for me) - Tony admitting that even if he thought'd he'd been right at first, everything he'd lost during the mess "wasn't worth it." It actually still makes me mad that Fraction took what was a good chance at Tony learning from his mistakes (and I don't mean being pro-reg because that is really the least awful thing he did) and losing some of the chip on his shoulder that he'd gained through that and basically wasted it for absolutely no reason.
