@takeshi57: hey I said it makes sense, I never said I liked it. that is a good analogy though

@takeshi57: amalgamation isnt a cure though, all that will serve to do is expand the Avengers roster to a ridiculous level and wash the X-men away. the main problem I see for the X-men is a lack of good writing/planning, not a lack of exposure. nothing lasts forever and the MCU is no exception. give it 10-15-25 years and there wont be a Marvel movie coming out every summer, what happens then? the X-men crawl out of their deep, dark, Avengers sized hole?

i dont subscribe to the whole "Marvel is trying to keep mutants down' schtick. I think it comes down to them wanting to ride the successes that the MCU and Disney have brought them, and not taking the time or effort to focus on mutants. Without the movie rights to the X-men/mutants it makes sense for them to throw their support behind the Inhumans, after all, you work with what you've got, and it even makes sense why mutants are joining all these other teams that can and are getting the exposure, such as the Inhumans/Avengers/AIM.

Cyclops is a champ!

I feel like the X-men, as a whole, dont hate him, but some are more vocal then others like Beast, Storm, Wolverine. Where are the Cyclops supporters like Angel, Jean Grey, Cannonball?

oh right...

Keep em all apart. youre never gonna see one of the premier Avengers join the X-men (i dont count Namor, and Ms. Marvel wasnt premier when she was hanging out with them), so why should X-men bother with the Avengers? for the most part, mutants are portrayed horribly while part of Avengers teams. Cannonball and Sunspot are the resident frat boys, Havok has all but turned into chump whos so busy trying to please Steve Rogers, that hes pretty much lost his spine. Rogue went from being one of the front line X-men to getting sh*t-talked by people who hadnt been part of an Avengers roster in years. Storm was an Avenger for all of a week before that book started a new #1 and booted her from the roster(despite the fact that she fits better as the X-man/Avenger then most). Wolverine is constantly called out for killing people despite the fact that EVERYONE knows that what hes good at. What makes that better is the fact that Steve Rogers (Mr. Hypocrite) has added Sabertooth to the 'unity' teams roster... cause thats a good idea

the only X-man I ever liked as an Avenger was the Beast, but with the way hes being written these days, im not even a fan of him right now

they could always pull Spidey onto the team, assuming everything stays smooth with Sony. and with Luke Cage and Iron Fist getting shows they cold always get the call up some day.

Black Panther, Captain Marvel, the Vision, Spider Man, Mockingbird, Luke Cage, Iron Fist

that would be a decent roster for Avenger 5+

Im assuming Marvel is gonna put a lot of their eggs into the Captain Marvel basket, really hype her up and push her onto a new generation of fans. Spidey will always bring in the bucks.Hopefully the IF and LC netflix series can garner enough attention to push those two into the B list. and hopefully the Black Panther movie establishes another solid property

Soooo Patsy Walker is Trish in the Jessica Jones show?

glad im not the only one to come to this conclusion. i can totally see things going the way you described but i can also see it from the other side. what if he becomes like Jason, borderline criminal turn hero, he could give the Chill name a positive spin

while a big part of me wants to see an Xmen Legends 3 very badly, im kinda sold on the rpg idea. first you pick a school Xmen(for good guys), Brotherhood (no school i guess, for the bad guys), and Hellfire (for those who havent decided) and go through the process to graduate, at which point you can decide if you want to join the team that trained you or become a solo act. jam pack as many X-related characters as possible, have big power trees so you can really make the mutant you want to be. i know this is a small issue but a large costume database would be nice. i dono if any of you guys played Xmen Destiny but it had horrible costumes based off of other X characters. if they made an exhaustive database for it like AC: Unity has then you could really go for a certain look. and since its an Xmen game i would hope the mansion gets destroyed at least once. keep it out of continuity to open of the available characters/storylines

gotta love Beast eh? stands shoulder to shoulder with a guy for years without calling him out on anything hes done, instead of leading his people he just jumps from team to team looking for something that works while simultaneously talking trash about Cyclops to anyone who will listen. cant wait til the 05 go back and douchey Beast is gone
