X-Men - Part 1

[Manic]

That's barely murder. Nazis (much like ninjas, nameless robots, and aliens that don't stand upright like humans) don't count as people when superheroes kill them.

 

[Anubis]

^Flash Fact.

That's barely murder. Nazis (much like ninjas, nameless robots, and aliens that don't stand upright like humans) don't count as people when superheroes kill them.

Except this was an 80 year old man who was living his life peacefully and wasn't a generic goon who gets killed in the heat of the action.

 

[runawayboulder]

The old guy said to Logan before he was killed that deserved to be killed for the life he led and described himself as a monster. He also told Logan that this is going to happen to him some day.

Me personally, I define murder as someone getting killed that didn't have it coming. I wouldn't say the guy from SEAL Team 6 "murdered" Osama. He had it coming.

 

[Anubis]

Ugh, seriously, there's gotta be a way to get rid of these f**king Bots.

They're the roaches of the internet.

 

[Havok83]

Because Magneto has used X-Force for his own purposes, purposes that don't involve protecting mutantkind, but ones that involve straight up murder.

when did that happen?

Technically, didn't the SEAL team assassinate Bin Laden, since there was a major political factor to it?

 

[Anubis]

Well, technically, Wolverine Assassinated an X-Nazi.

Uncanny X-Force #9

While he may have deserved it because of the things he did in the 40's, the man was not a threat at all and was only killed for revenge. Not to bring justice to all those he hurt or whatnot, simply because he did something to Magneto. Osama bin Laden on the other hand, was still a threat and was taken down to bring justice for his crimes.

Uncanny X-Force #9

ahhh thanks. I really need to catch up the last few months. I feel so lost and out of the loop

 

[The Batman]

whats been going on with cyclops? Is he as much of a tyranical d bag as the CBR forums are making him out to be?

 

[runawayboulder]

They've been easing off that angle a bit to build up towards the fight with Wolverine. He's getting back to where Whedon had him a few years ago, making the X-Men more heroic than militant. It started at the end of Second Coming when he broke up X-Force and continued recently in X-Men when he sent a team to investigate missing teenagers in NYC (The Spidey/Lizard crossover).

Yup.

 

[hippie_hunter]

Not really. Bolder said it perfectly when they're having Cyclops act more like his Whedon-esque characterization over his more recent militant characterization.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Has he laughed at the notion of X-Men shooting people lately? 'Cause that would be sadly ironic at this point.

 

[El Bastardo]

That issue of X-Force was ace.

i'd welcome a mephisto-dealt OMD for the X-men

Thanks.

So whats the main X-Book atm? Is it the relaunched "x-men" title, or is it uncanny?

I know it'd make me a major hypocrit because of all the crap I've given Spider-Man, but so would I as long as the end result keeps the X-Men in San Francisco and Rogue can still touch people.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Rogue needs to be a saucy southern belle again. I don't really care about which specific powers she has, but she sure seemed a hell of a lot more fun when she had Ms. Marvel's. Now she's all angsty and serious.

 

[hippie_hunter]

Rogue needs to stop sleeping with Magneto

 

[runawayboulder]

Thanks.

I'd say everything revolves around Uncanny (as usual). Uncanny X-Force is clearly the best X-Title in terms of storytelling and playing a critical role for setting up "Schism". X-Men is just kind of "there" and Legacy is off in it's own little world it seems.....

 

[hippie_hunter]

A little world where Rogue sleeps with geriatric men. God I really can't get over how they actually had Rogue choose Magneto in this latest issue.
