Dammit, she's even all but confirmed not-dead. Wait till Lockheed and SWORD go rescue her, then go down to the island and beat everyone up for giving up so easily.
Oh that's not even a Whedon kill. She's barely scratched. She's just hanging out in space somewhere.
Don't talk to me about Whedon kills until you really, really loved Wash. Or wanted to see Xander happy for once. Or loved Tara. or liked Fred. Etc. Etc. >.>
Wait, someone in Marvel remembered Angelo? That random dude that died when Nightcrawler's priest-hood turned out to be a illusion? But surprise surprise, Wolfcub's name is NOT on there (from what I see).
Okay, I am confuse of which Rasputin has it worse? Colossus is in a depression, which isn't too surprising with the X-Men and all; while Illyana seems to be in denial, you can't really just forget people just like that lady...
People react to grief in different ways, and sometimes the moment when a family is really supposed to come together, everyone different reactions to grief makes the family fall apart. It's a shame seeing it happen to Piotr and Illyana, but sadly, it happens.
While I see Illyana's point, the only problems I see with Colossus building a memorial to fallen X-Men are 1) That's way too small and 2) He's just gonna have to erase half of them next week.
"Hello, is that Westchester Undertakers? Oh, good. This is Charles Xavier, up at the school... Yes, ANOTHER one... Usual terms or discount for quantity? Oh, that's very generous of you... Your BEST customer? Well, I don't like to brag. I've been wondering whether it might be possible to commission something special from now on... can you cut a whiteboard into a gravestone shape? Yes, one of the write on/wipe off ones... Oh, no reason, just thought it might be practical..."
"Yes, Westchester Crematorium? I'm calling to cancel my five o'clock appointment. Yes, yes. Again. Well, these kids just...oh, wait. Never mind, we'll see you in an hour."
The Jean thing is bone of contention for me. Endsong had Jean, in a ressurected body, flying off to go look for her pieces with the Phoenix in space. Yet everyone still talks about Jean as if she were dead, which she sorta isn't. If Endsong was out of continuity, this would be fine, but Warsong is referenced in continuity and it builds off Endsong so BLAGH!

It's a wonderful monument to all their fallen friends. Doing something creative with your grief is a wonderful way of handling it. I hope making that helped lessen the pain for Piotr.
