I really hope the Phoenix gives mutantkind a rebirth and redeems herself because i hate how they have been portraying the Phoenix Force as evil when it's the P5 that are the ones getting corrupt and carried away with its power. Hopefully, Jean is really Hope and the Phoenix restores her memories so we can have her back and have Cyclops go, maybe with a noble sacrifice. If anyone deserves to die or go into limbo for a change, it him. Have Emma go teach at the school or become a nun(?!). Make Namor go to court and/or jail for his crimes. Let Colossus find himself again and have someone instruct Magik in white magic because she really been straying to the dark side since her resurrection. Let Storm lead the X-men, just as she has been doing with her book and carry on the dream. Her council can consist of Jean/Hope, Cable, Psylocke, Magneto and Colossus. Give the school back to Professor X and the new mutants. Have X-force become legal team of paramilitary members, so they can stop being vigilantes and work on the right side of the law. Let X-Factor continue its cute little business but give them more of mission statement that serves their community better.
But what fear is the continued mishandling of the X-books. With "All New X-men" I already dread how that book will do or be anygood. I don't know why they have to bring the original 5 back again and destroy any integrity they had as the classic team. How can they not ruin the timeline now. Also do we need another cyclops, iceman, beast and angel. Jean is only one who deserve to be back but not as her teenage self. This will also let these same old characters get all the attention which should really be given to the new generation of X-men. Those kids have been so wasted and underused, in favor of the Gen Hope kids and the special class in WATXM. With Uncanny, Legacy, New Mutants, and who knows which other book ending, there will be a huge displacement of characters. There better be new books and teams to showcases the different X-men. The last decade was so bad and depressing for the X-men. And each event has been unproductive and superficial. What was the real point of Regenesis if we still are waiting for a new era for the X-men.
When AVX is over with the X-men need to go back to striving for peaceful coexistence and reuniting the teams as a family of misfits and outcasts. With Uncanny Avengers happening and taking over the flagship book status I am curious to see how much that team will bridge the Marvel Universe and incorporate the best characters on both sides. I just hope it does more for mutant public relations and allows for certain X-characters to get a bigger spotlight. I am worried though at what cost.
