Avengers vs. X-Men: 2012 Event - Part 2

[Colossal Spoons]

Banned for some Daniel Tosh controversy

 

[runawayboulder]

Yeah, that was the last straw. It sounded like he was skating on thin ice, knew it but kept on skating.

 

[JewishHobbit]

That's upsetting. If it's deserved it's deserved... but still. It's really wierd when a long time poster gets banned. It's odd knowing that I'll never see him post again.

 

[Havok83]

Oh wow, had no clue

 

[TheCorpulent1]

*pours some liquor*

 

[Havok83]

One of the better development to come out of AvX is the Uncanny Trinity consisting of Storm, Magneto and Psylocke. Those 3 have been a treat to see together. I wonder if and when Scott falls at the end of this, if they will step up to take leadership of the X-men in the aftermath

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Ew.

 

[Havok83]

LOL. Not a fan of the characters? Acuna's art? Them in a power position?

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Acuna gives me indigestion

Magneto, big pimping.

LOL..the writing and story is pretty good right now in Uncanny but yeah his art kinda ruins that

 

[Colossal Spoons]

UXM has been really good, I'm a huge Sinister fan.

 

[Havok83]

Me too. Its good to finally see him get some respect back in the books again. He should be a major threat

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Why he ever answered to Apocalypse is beyond me. Sinister and Dark Beast need to team up sometime, or just go out for drinks

Magneto's inevitably gonna relapse, I hate Psylocke for being a murderous c***, and Storm's just never been interesting to me. But I can appreciate the shake-up from Cyclops, at least. He's been firmly in control of the X-Men for a pretty long time now.

 

[Mad Ones]

Captain America was pretty excited that Namor invaded Wakanda. "We finally provoked them into doing something horrible so we don't look like *****es!"

 

[runawayboulder]

I wouldn't say it was like that. It was more like yeah, we caught you red handed.

 

[Optimus_Prime_]

I'm actually think Namor is the one that bites it, not Scott Summers. I mean we've seen a Cyclops in Marvel NOW! -- both that New X-Men version and whatever that new costumed version is. I just don't see why they would tease a dead character unless he dies and then promptly returns. I'm guess it's the time displaced Scott, but maybe that is our Scott and Jean spares him -- I mean obviously that whole Jean/Scott thing has to show up here eventually. Elephant in the room.

Also since Marvel NOW! is like a new-ish Marvel, Namor was the first Marvel character really, so it makes sense that he caps off the end of whatever the hell they're doing here.

I also think Emma will die.

 

[hippie_hunter]

I don't see Emma dying, but I do think that her relationship with Scott will be done with.

 

[Optimus_Prime_]

Regardless, Scott *really* won't either, since we've already seen him, or at least some version of him in solicitations. Namor looks like the odd man out.

It also makes sense since they haven't been able to do much with him at all until recently by shoehorning him on X-Men. He's a MAJOR character, but he's not making them much money so they can kill him. Hype up his return at some point, maybe enough to generate interest in a Movie.

Plus the book Consequences has no Emma in tears, and not even Wolverine stands by "the body", suggesting the Avengers knew him well. Thing is there too. Thing knows Namor. Cap knows Namor. Wolverine knows Namor. Thor is there. It's got to be Namor.

Plus the solicits say one team wins, everybody loses. Namor is kind of part of everybody there. Fantastic Four, Avengers and X-Men.

 

[runawayboulder]

Interesting theory even though Namor is pretty far removed from the Avengers these days. I can't remember the last time he served as an active Avenger.....probably right before Acts of Vengeance.

Does it really matter? I mean Marvel is pretty good about writing in pretty convenient emotions. Like anyone was really sad Sentry was gone. The next issue everyone was like "who?".

I could see them having Jean kill Scott to "save" mutantkind as basically a reversal to the ending of the Dark Phoenix Saga. Then time-displaced Scott and Jean are free to be happy young people with a second chance together.

I think I'd like that. I like Cyclops, but seeing Cyclops get a second chance and Jean without any of that baggage would be kind of awesome.

Im calling it now. The P5 all fall starting with Namor. Cyclops is left having absorbed all their power and Jean comes in and yanks it from him, possibly killing him in the process
