The next big X-men event.

As far as I am concerned, the X-franchise jumped the shark a long time ago.

It pretty much does. It's a baseless opinion to begin with. The mutant origin for a hero/villian is NOT what makes it lazy. It's what the writer chooses to do with the character that makes him either creative or lazy. Wolverine's a mutant. His origin is anything but "Oh, he's a mutant".

Wolverine's orgin is one of the best in the MU, and it is interesting because they gave him much much much more storyline than 'he a mutant'.

That a pretty good job listing one of the most popular characters in the MU as an example. Now try writing a list of all the mutants that have no origin other than 'I was born a mutant, or discovered my powers during puberty/stressful event, and now I joined some group just because.'

The list would be hundreds of characters long.

And on top of it all, you would have never even had the thought "mutant origins are lazy" had you not heard/read it elsewhere. Looks to me that you're the lazy one.

One of the reasons I have never gotten into any of the X series (though I did read New Mutants/Xforce during Liefield run) was because of this.

It did and now theres no way of fixing it.

And it not like they didn't try to fix it either.

If the X-Men are the last of the mutants, doesn't that kind of defeat their whole purpose? They'd no longer have a mutant populace to fight for or any evil mutants to fight against. They'd become just another Avengers team, basically.

That does make sence,but i doubt you will hear Marvel say that.After all,Marvel is currently cashing in on the X-Men.

Whats so bad about having millions of mutants?

None.Joe Q and Bendis just wanted to wipe something away and call it a drastic event.

Well Marvel as of right now if you look at sales the only real sales or coming off of bot Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men and when he leaves the book will most likly stop selling and Uncanny X-Men and that's it. Wolverine and Wolverine: Origins have hit the lowest points ever now. Most fans say it's because of all the comics Marvel amd Joe Q keep putting him into. The X-franchise is dying and if Marvel keeps going with what there going with it will or may just end all X-Men comics killing the X-franchise for good. And no I don't what that to happen.

LOl, God you're such a fire and brimstone kinda guy.

They aren't ending the X-Men. They might cancel a few books here and there but they'll never kill the X-franchise.
