Yeah, I've surprisingly really enjoyed Ink in this arc of X-Men Gold, but the rest of it was completely forgettable. I'd say that Guggenheim needs off the title, but there's no such thing as writers on a title anymore. It's all a writer's title, and then another writer's different title. None of it feels like it matters really.
Well Gold is possibly ending soon. As for my 1Title only. This would be my line up;
Psylocke
Storm
Phoenix
Shadowcat
A c lister underused X-Man
Someone new
Iceman
Gambit
Then you'd have members like Cecilia (medic person), Forge/Sage (tech person) popping up in supporting roles.
I would have added Rogue but she's also appearing in Avengers. I am tired of seeing Wolverine clones so no Wolverine. No younger versions. I would like for Cyclops to be dead up until the mid 2020s. I think Professor X is resurrected way too soon and Phoenix's return completely overshadowed his return. Like Professor's death in Avx was a big deal and His return deserved more attention, sadly it didnt happen. So for that, I would leave him out of the picture. Nightcrawler, Colossus, Prestige, Emma, Beast, Magik... These mutants need a break from the team, like three of those appear once or twice in a while but I'd put them in hibernation and would only bring them back once they have to rejoin the team. While Colossus could have used the time off when he was turned into a horseman.
I would also like to see a bunch of new villains that would have an impact to the X-Men in the long run. I feel like they've been just recycling villains for quite some time now. If not, they turned aX-Man into a villain. And God, I don't want to see Mojo, Sinister, Apocalypse, a new rendition of the Hellfire/Brotherhood/Sentinels facing off the X-Men again.
Quality over quantity. I really don't know what to do with the younger generation. Like there's so many of them and it's just impossible to even service 1/4 of them IMO at this point without not using the bigger characters. Like if you utilize Hellion in Uncanny, the others like Elixir, Mercury, Surge, Kid Gladiator, Rock slide, Anole, Loa, Prodigy would still be in the background, so why bother saving that generation. Like I'd rather move on new potential X-man that we haven't seen before, that could be the new break out stars.
