because no matter what people say, change is ultimately good. I think the best thing that could seriously rock the marvel universe is if Morrison kills off Xavier and have Jean become headmistress and leader of the Xmen.
Seriosuly, what's the oint in reading a story in which everything returns to status quo?
issue #1 um, it s a mutant who can bend metal, *insert extremely cunning plan, yet seriosuly pushing the bounderies of "taking the mick"* and we beat you!!!!

um, it's a mutant with teleporting powers *insert whack plan* we beat you! Scott still fancies jean, iceman is still a walking talking joke, and beast is grumpy. These are people, they change. I dind it more interesting that Matt has taken a step up in DD or reed has gone bonkers in FF, or Betty has died in the HUlk, then I do about Spidey keeping his identity secret, and beating one bad guy after another. Xavier walking was cool, it shook things up, old fans complain about NXM, why do you think it's called new? AND since the begeining went in a totally different direction. If you don't like it, there are 2 other xmen books out (and a horde of wolvy minis). and in answer to Why? Because Xmen where in limbo, then after the first movie came out, marvel wanted to shake things up, enter morrison. If they wanted traditional, alien fighting, 3 yearlong plots, mutants vs human stories, they would ask Claremont or many other creators to write it, they didn't, and judging by NXm's sales compared to xtreme and uncanny, the fans don't want a different writter.
The point is, if a character or world doesn't change, you get tired. DBZ got boring after I watched goku return for the 5(6, 7, 8??
) time, I watched one episode of GT and could tell how bad it was going to be. They never changed ought, or hinted at it, then brought in good ol' reliable, over used, goku. you want to see xavier in a wheel chair, go read old issues or Uxm, I want to see him become more than "the professor".
