Date: 2012-08-15 06:00 pm (UTC)I still don't like Hope. She's being written much better now, but I can't get past that stupid lecture she gave to Prof X and the fact that she was mindcontrolling her teammates. And her costume. You're not in a post-apocalyptic future anymore, you don't need to wear a poncho and handwraps.
Anyway, she's getting better, so I'm assuming that here she's.... embracing the Phoenix or something, thus taking it away from Cyclops, momentarily it appears, and then punching him in the throat. Cool, I feel like her powers are kind of loosely defined.
Also, yay, only two issues (followed by the by now obligatory "aftermath" miniseries) and then we're done! Still wondering how Prof X is going to become involved in this though, if he is indeed the one Marvel is going to kill.

Date: 2012-08-15 06:53 pm (UTC)oh, and this -
"our girl Hope just kicked Cyclops's ass."
i'm glad tony likes her so much. the avengers can totally have her. and here's hoping she never pops up in an x-book ever again.

I feel she simply doesn't deserve to have any friends in the x-men, their supposed saviour villianised all of them with the help of Humans and the one mutant who caused this mess in the first place (the Scarlet Witch).
I just want her to be likeable and smart. :(

Date: 2012-08-15 07:41 pm (UTC)It's a shame whats happened here, to these characters, but, I look at this the same way I look at the Ultimate Universe's 'Ultimatum Wave' -- terrible in execution, BUT, created consequences that made for a very interesting world after.
Hopefully that happens here.

Date: 2012-08-15 09:07 pm (UTC)i think they'll try to save scott. xavier dying will probably snap him out of the phoenix craze or w/e.

Date: 2012-08-15 10:18 pm (UTC)Still feel the only way this event can be salvaged is if Squirrel Girl swoops in at the end of issue 11, then spends all of issue 12 kicking EVERYONE'S ass and then sitting them down and lecturing them all about what idiots they've been until she sends them all to their rooms to think about what they've done and not come out again until she says they can.
Christ on a cracker...

Date: 2012-08-16 01:05 am (UTC)Cyclops wanted Hope to have the Phoenix. Presumably the Phoenix wanted Hope too. Now the Avengers and Hope want her to have the Phoenix.
Cyke didn't want the Phoenix but once he got it every single action he could have done after that point, including doing nothing would have intimidated others into attacking him
Overall it seems that whoever has the most power is the villain these days

The whole "power corrupts" idea is pretty silly anyway, since there are plenty of people in real life who have power and wealth but are still decent. Meanwhile, some of the worst jerks the world has to offer are jerks because they have so little real power and take out their frustration on the few people with even less power.

Date: 2012-08-16 10:37 pm (UTC)Scott: Seriously? You're going to use that line of reasoning, standing by the group you're with? The head of the SHRA, the man you brought a war to America to oppose it, instead of doing something like moving to another country, and the woman who has re-written reality several times. Plus you know you're under a year old actually. You exist because of people forcing their wills. Your father, ny sone, he was seven. But when he was a baby and dying a group of time travelers forced their will on this time and saved him. That group of time travelers, my daughter who will never be born in this reality created them. He time travelled to change history.
