Either way, it's a dumb plot device.
True enough.Marvel loves to do that, though. Probably because it always makes them money.
So why the current need on Marvel's part to deny anything from it ever happened? There are several dangling plot threads left over from the Clone Saga that are likely never going to be addressed because Marvel won't currently touch Clone Sage-related stuff with a ten-foot pole (except Spider-Girl). It's also still considered one of the biggest blunders ever, even by people at Marvel. In my experience, that kind of internal enmity towards a story doesn't happen unless it cost the company money.
I know that, but usually the people within the company will still grin and treat the story as if it's one of their very best if it's made them money. Even the people at Marvel now seem to consider the Clone Saga a ****-up. Spidey's comics dropped pretty far down the charts after the Clone Saga and Mackie's terrible run, hence the injection of new talent like JMS and Jenkins to reinvigorate the franchise.
From what I've been able to gather, it's the intentions behind his actions that Cyttorak seems to be concerned with. As long as Marko's not playing the good guy, he'll remain powerful. I think.
Yeah, that's pretty stupid.
I remember Carey going on about plans to touch on that stuff, way back when he was first announced as Milligan's replacement.Well, maybe it's more of an exaggeration. Individually, throughout Carey's run they have both been written quite well. Better than well. And over the last few issues, their ordeal with the Marauders has really stood out. Not really a buddy relationship yet, but they'd be fools not to keep it going. They've got good chemistry, and a lot in common.
the mu citzens have been jaded because they now realize tha ALL super powers are a mutation of one sort or antherI don't know how I would Revamp it,
but I liked it when Xavier was more wholesome, a father figure
and the the others looked up to him and treated each other like family.
I may actually be imagining an X-Men that I never really read but sort of put together based on things a heard about them and things I read or saw here and there.
I guess I would try to get them back to being the more innocent, more strange concept, sort of thing.
Where they are hated by the world who doesn't really know who or what a "mutant" is but assumes they are bad. And make being a Mutant more of a Twilight Zone/ Outer Limits bizzare concept in their universe.
I think their story worked better when things were simpler and not so grand. [BLACKOUT]Well thats not 100% true. The Pheonix saga was a good time for them, and they had big epic stuff like space travel.[/BLACKOUT]
I don't know how I would do that though.
Maybe it has something to do with "Mutants" being so widely known in their universe. Everyone has known what "Mutants" are for some time now. maybe do something with that to make them seem more Out of the Ordinary.
I think thats the problem.
They have been around too long, they need to get back to being new and fresh and Eerie and Bizzare.
