This whole thing was a stupid idea. Phoenix Five, AvX. It's all pretty much garbage.
Pretty much. I was very amused to flip through one of the AvX tie-ins, "Avengers Academy 32" just to see Phoenix 5 Emma not be able to destroy Seyfert's Sentinel with a single thought. It seemed every character showed up to defend this Sentinel, X-23 slashed her and overall, their entire reaction was so ridiculous that I had to put the book down and back away slowly. Apparently, they argued that even though the Sentinel still has this directive in it's programming, the directive to exterminate all mutants was no longer it's primary directive so it had "overcome it's programming". Which doesn't make sense, since Emma offered to wipe it's programming instead of destroying it. Their reaction to that alternate option was that it would be like re-wiring the Sentinel's "personality", however isn't the issue at hand that part of it's personality contains genocidal urges? Just a mess and X-23's own decision to defend it was trite.
I had to put the book down and leave the store. Just ridiculous.
