Considering that Val and Franklin Richards (aka the most powerful mutant on Earth although the Cyclops X-Men don't seem to care about that) could take out both the X-Men and the Avengers and then still have time to make it back to the Baxter Building for dinner I have a hard time getting myself worked about this "event". Having entire series built on the premise of Superhero X vs Superhero Y gets old quick (and yes Civil War didn't work for me either).

although the Cyclops X-Men don't seem to care about that

neither do the avengers, and franklin has a pet galactus now.

That's why I keep banging my head on the table. There are five or six pants-darkeningly terrifying forces on earth right now and everyones freaking out over one. One they've been ignoring for a while.

I know I say this in every thread, but still. It bears repeating.

[sherkahn]

That needs to be repeated:

franklin has a pet galactus now

[eaglet_auditore]

And I envy him. :(

I dunno, it's not really the sort of fuzzy cute pet you can cuddle with while watching TV.

[eaglet_auditore]

It's a pet that can tell you how a planet full of inhabitants tastes. ''Like a bacon cheeseburger you say?''
Oh, the possibilities!




(Ok, he doesn't feed that way. >_> )

[salinea]

but think of the cost in litterbox filler afterwhile!

[eaglet_auditore]

Oh gosh, I forgot about that. To think I already have a hard time keeping up with two miniature pooping machines, the Sahara desert won't be enough this time.

[sherkahn]

Yeah, I was wondering.. the present and future Franklin Richards are on 616 Earth at the moment, and they just resurrected Galactus. The Phoenix is in their weight class, but against that combined might + every one else on Earth? Shouldn't be this big a deal.

Has the Phoenix ever even done anything that the Avengers should know to be worried about? Xavier would have a good idea of how dangerous it could be, and Lilandra probably has a stroke if someone makes a bird-shaped shadow puppet on a wall in her line of sight, but I'd think the Avengers' main source of info on the subject would be Hank McCoy. And I can't see him as putting in a recommendation of "panic and make suicide attacks without attempting communication first!"
