scans_daily Yeah, so Scott is going to kill Xavier again.
“I got a little teary-eyed when we were scoping out the moment in the room with the series’ writers and editors,” says Marvel Editor in Chief Axel Alonso.
“He needed to be the casualty in this story. There’s no more oh-sh-- moment that you can bring than having a son killing his father.”

I wonder how people will spin this to Scott being the hero still, like some people have covered his and the rest of the Phoenix Five's actions thus far.

Date: 2012-09-12 04:04 pm (UTC)What a frustrating storyline though. The Avengers could have prevented all of this by trusting Scott and now it's all out of control.
I've been on Scott's side during Schism, during the initial Phoenix kerfuffle, and even after the Phoenix Five. I'm really put out by Marvel making him the villain. I hope Captain America is ashamed of his part in this.

There's literally only a few handfuls of mutants left. Magneto, however, tried his schemes when there was millions of mutants and during a time when mutant haters weren't advanced enough to do it as efficiently as now. Its my biggest problem with Schism, mutans need to stick together right now if they want to stay alive, not break into two and refuse to let the young ones who need to be trained to survive actually do anything. That, and the fact that they've been training kids as young as twelve to be X-Men and X-Women for as long as they've existed and Wolverine only just now realizes that he doesn't like it, right when the younger ones need this basic training.

Date: 2012-09-12 04:32 pm (UTC)The only ones hurt by this are Scott, the rest of the Pheonix Five who NEVER asked for this. And the X-men, and even then will probably see some tasteless cheering about Scott going off the deep end from them.
The Avengers just made it messy and Hope made it even more difficult. You had one job Hope.

Date: 2012-09-12 05:09 pm (UTC)Marvel completely wrecked him for no reason at all. If the X-gene doesn't at least come back post AvX then the last blah,blah years of X-men since Messiah Complex have been a huge waste of time....or maybe I am just lashing out bitter/angry over what is happening here.
So mad right now.

I'll just go sit in the corner with the comics unaffected by this event.

Date: 2012-09-12 05:16 pm (UTC)Everything else just seems so messy and dull.
Probably why I prefer Mystery Inc. and Gravity Falls to most of DC and Marvel's content these days really.
Still, Young Justice is coming back for an extended run at the end of the month. :)

Date: 2012-09-12 05:39 pm (UTC)Except you've used character death to highlight 'how serious' an 'oh-sh-- moment' is so many times, that it's lost all meaning.
Seriously, I didn't go, "OH GOD, I CAN'T BELIEVE SCOTT DID THAT!" What REALLY crossed my mind was, "Oh, they killed Xavier -again- did they? Wonder how many months pass until he comes back."

Date: 2012-09-12 05:40 pm (UTC)Honestly, we've got Marvel repeating themselves with AvX and DC repeating themselves by benching Steph and Cass, and repeating Marvel with Supes and Lois' breakup. Can they not recognize that these were bad ideas?

Date: 2012-09-12 06:29 pm (UTC)what. weren't whedon's and fraction's runs all about him? gillen has been writing him really well, too. current marvel editorial/writers staff loves him, i feel like they've been pushing scott for ages, they're only throwing him under a bus right now because they need to undermine the x-men's leadership so the avengers merger can work.

Date: 2012-09-12 08:57 pm (UTC)That said, I would really like to see Scott come out this horrified by his actions and determined to atone for his actions (as cliche as that is) by actually carrying on Xavier's Dream properly, as opposed to continuing with his own weird, isolationist streak.

Date: 2012-09-13 04:44 pm (UTC)Rather stupid to keep him alive then, and then barely use him for years, before killing him now.
