@peppeyhare: I'm not totally all the way against change what I am against is pandering. Every time the X-men and Avengers confront its always the X-men on high horse throwing comments at the Avengers for not protecting mutants more yet the Avengers are not allowed to argue back at them when a crisis in their stories happen. Things like that piss me off and makes me glad they rarely team up. Now after AvsX there supposed to feel guilty over not helping more when it's the X-men's job to secure mutant rights. Bull crap, but oh well I guess the Avengers should drop saving the earth from The Builder to a beat up a small band of The Purifiers, sorry humanity looks like we have to hold off stopping Ultron from wiping out all organics to substitute at the Jean Grey school, oh bummer Kangs invading again sorry everyone we have help Wolverine in hunting down X-Force for no apparent reason other than waste everyone's time. See what I mean.
See this is what annoys me about the Avengers at the moment. It is not the x-mens job to secure mutant rights, they are being forced into doing it as no one else will raise a finger. This idea, then, is that what? Mutant rights are below the Avengers pay grade? That the socio-political climate is not in the interest of the Avengers?
I like when Luke Cage wanted the Avengers to be proactive and patrol bad neighborhoods in an attempt to help. I hate this reactionary stance of the Avengers but at the same time proclaiming themselves the greatest heroes. Earth is an Avengers world, but internal struggles can go away because we are not interested. I loved in Civil War when Emma asks Tony where the Avengers were when their children were burning in Genosha, I loved it in AvX when Cyclops was so adamant that it was too late for Cap to come in and help the situation.
And your comparing threat levels like the builders and Ultron, well how about Mr. Sinister or Apocalypse? How about the phalanx? How about the world turning on itself due to the existence of mutants? Hell a full powered, determined Magneto is a hell of a thing to tackle not just ignore because it is a mutant issue.
