    I'm so over this already. Wolverine needs to shut the front door and get off of his pedestal. Xavier had a naive dream, Cyclops was in a war. I'm so over people making Cyclops feel bad. He accidentally killed one man and saved the mutant race at the cost of one mans life. Boo Whoo. And Wolverine just needs to UGH. I'm over him being so high and mighty all of a sudden - Wolverine will never be half the man / leader / soldier / x-men Scott has been.

    Ive never heard it put better. I agree but i'm still interested immensely in this series, this will tell the future of Cyclops and i swear if they don't use him right it will be a damn shame. he's a cashcow right now with more followers and fans since AvX then any other time, they would be stupid to make him a full fledged villain at this point

    I'm growing a bit bored of WatX - it's not been the same since the beginning of AvX and its "wackiness" is growing thin.

    Aaron should just accept that everyone hates the Hellfire Brats, urgh. Have a brain-damaged Broo kill them all.

    Not a fan of Marvel's current obsession with pushing Saint Logan.

    In a private sector prison, no less.

    No way in hell would the worlds powers let him be put in a prison like that, he'd be locked up in the raft or the negative prison or wherever the hell Pym/McCoy magically make the next super-prison. Just one more tally mark for "Did we even think about this before we started plotting"

    Of course not. I don't even recall hearing who ok'ed the decision to even put Scott in a privately-owned prison. Really losing my like for Cap as time passes.

    I think Scott being in jail telling hard truths is the only good thing from the fallout of this event. People have been on Scott's case for years. It is absolutely right to put him on trial and have him tell everyone else what he thinks of them.

    Now, will the writers do it convincingly, one way or another? I dunno.

    Not picking this up if the whole issue consists of Wolverine and Cyclops b*tch fighting over Jean Grey. I read Schism for that.

    Did that fool really just chug 3 beers so that he could bring up Charles Xavier?

    Enough of this Bull. If he wasn't so busy trying to side with the Avengers for the entire event, things could've gone a lot differently. Cyclops was right, Logan fought him all the way, and Xavier was killed because the Phoenix 5 were never supposed to come into existence in the first d@mn place.

    @John Valentine: I am not too big of a fan of children being the villains either. And I was definitely upset when Broo was killed, but in honesty, I like when writers aren't afraid to kill off a character. I think that this series should be a lot of fun with the new mutants born from the AvX series.

    I doubt Broo is dead. In fact, I'm pretty sure he's not.

    I am so sick of this preachy hypocrite version of Wolverine. The truth is when the number of mutants in the world was down to about 200 Xavier's dream of peaceful coexistance between humans and mutants was not in keeping with the difficult times. All the groups that hate mutants started coming after mutants hard. Xavier and his dream were essentially fired from the X-Men and a new leader willing to take decisive action and make a stand to protect all mutants in the face of extinction. Cyclops was the one to step up, make the hard decisions. Wolvereine was one of his soldiers/operatives call it what you will and was in lock step with all of Cyclops decisions, including restarting X-Force which was which was really a private black ops team doing dirty work behind the scenes. Then to protect Cyclops and give him plausable deniability he restarted X-Force on his own. From here things went wrong.
     
    I still contend that Schism was not a natural outgrowth of any story line in the X-Men family of titles and was an editorial decision to begin to make Wolverine the leader of the X-Men. To do that a viable alternative was needed and this is where Logan changed. Out of nowhere Logan became the champion of keeping the younger mutants out of danger and not using them as soldiers. This was line that Beast was spouting for years but I guess his profile within the X-Men had dropped so low he was not a good leadership candidate. Its true Logan does have a soft spot for young mutants an would try to help them out. Previously he would help prepare them for battle and tell them what to expect. I seem to recall, and I do not remember the reference, Logan telling other X-Men that this character has the right to decide what to do for themselves even if that involves fighting. in any case Schism the POS that it was happened and Wolverine lead his portion of the X-Men back to Westchester where a new School was constructed. 
     
    Schism and Regenesis divided the X-Men into 2 factions. This was suppost to ba a bold new direction for the X-Men, blah blah blah. Clearly Marvel did not like the outcome much cause less that a year later AvX happened. It was here that the editorial agenda to make Wolverine leader of the X-Men continued. They were not very subtle here Captain America and Iron Man briefed the president onthe threat the Phoenix Force represented and of course they consulted their 'expeert' Wolverine who advised them about Hope. He tells cap that Cyclops will try to use the Phoenix to remove the decimation and reestablish mutants in the world. Cap and the Avengers on a helicarrier no less show up on Utopia to take Hope into protective custody. Here is where the hypocracy comes in. For years one of the main enemies of the X-Men and mutants in general has been the US government or at least factions within it. Logan knows this yet but did he tell Cap thet the chances of Cyclopss turning over Hope to the government  started at 'go to hell' and ended at 'over my dead body'. Its from here that the lack of subtility continues and story presents the dispute as X-Men and by extension Cyclops = Bad and Avengers = Good. The BS continued abd in the space of a few days the so called heroes come up with a Phoenix Containment device in the spase of a few days, something intergalatic empires like the Kree, Skrulls and the Shi'Ar could not do. The Shi'Ar for a time controlled the M'Kraan Crystal which some say is the home of the Phoenix but they did not create it. The blunders continue with the creation of the Phoenix Five who are eventually corrupted by the power and of course this makes Avengers = good and X-Men = bad. This later became Cyclops = bad cause all the other X-Men surrendered to the Avengers. Xavier was killed,  Cyclops was defeated, the world saved and now more Mutants are appearing in the world.
     
    Wolverine seems set to become the leader of the X-Men. Hell the not so subtility from Marvel continues in Wolverine and the X-Men #18 where with his dieing breath Xavier telepathically contacts Logan and tells him no matter what to not close his school as if that would have made all the difference in the last few years. Now Wolverine gets to be all emotional and tell Cyclops what a bad person he is. The truth is if he had helped Cyclops from the start thinge would have been different.

    For me, Wolverine couldn't talk about ethics to the Punisher himself, much less to Cyclops. I mean just check the records... Wolverine and Punisher compete for worlds best serial killer with the trail of bodies they leave behind. How many Wolverine has been mind controlled? Even Scarlet Witch has somewhat been redeemed and was seriously mental without mind control. Avengers should talk even less. Did they forget when the Illuminati kept the Infinity Gauntlet and almost destroyed the Universe? Or how many Iron-man's weapons have been compromised? Or that Bucky is a former Soviet spy/killer. Cyclops was tainted by Phoenix and in his try to do good he messed up (partially even).

    In the end all this works in cyclops favor, as it has Sparked interest in a character that otherwise people weren't interested in, Other than the fans of course,I Actually believe that was marvel whole plan from the beginning . I'm a hard core cyclops fan And I have to admit that the x-men Stories were kind of bland the past couple of months I'm looking forward to a x book Which I know they will announce soon,with cyclops leading do gooder mutant outlaws

    I agree. I think the problem with the current creative direction is that if one were to look at these stories objectively, everyone just becomes hypocrites and it has less to do with moral high grounds or moral grey areas, and more to do with lackluster story telling and characters that it's hard to like or respect.

    Totally in an opposite direction but were Cyclops and Cap so full of themselves they thought hurting Cyclops ego was important enough to risk him breaking out? Cause this whole regular prison thing is just stupid, especially since they apparently already paid millions (i would guess it cost alot anyway) to build a special ruby quartz prison for him that he was in at the end of AvX

    The Ruby Quartz room was actually Cyclop's and Wolverine's fetish room. It was build long ago after they couldn't use Jean Grey as a proxy for their love.

    The helmet NEEDS to go. I can't take any situation seriously with him wearing that.
