They turned the X-MEN into a CIRCUS !!!!!!!

[Flashman]

Okay, just to begin from somewhere:

1- JEAN GREY died 56 times. The school was destroyed 56 times. The villains come and go, and they never die for good. RECYCLED PLOTS, RECYCLED GIMMICKS, no more sense of reality.

2- PHOENIX saga SCREWED UP - It turned into a mess, with all those bad poorly-written retcons. Madelyne Prior didn't help, but at least it was Claremont's golden time as great writer.

3- TOO MANY USELESS SAGAS. House of M, House of G, House of WHO, Age of Apocalypse, Age of the Monkey, Age of the ***** and so on...

4- GAMBIT OVERRATED. Nothing special about the guy.

5- TOO MANY "children" of Scott & Jean coming from the future.

6- Line-ups often confused.

7- Too many RETCONS. Gambit led the Marauders to the Morlocks? FORCED! FAR-FETCHED!

8- Wolverine's BONE CLAWS: greatest BAD RETCON of all the times.

9- Storm's character messed up in the recent times.

'X-MEN' died in 1991 or so. I'm sorry to say that.
