A fundamental problem with the MCU is that it is actually just the Avengers Cinematic Universe

Spider people colors Pete: red and blue Miles: black and red Jessica: red and gold Julia: black and white Miguel: blue and red

From The Ashes feels like... like if they had fired Claremont 5 years in, finished the Dark Phoenix saga without him, and used that as an excuse to reset the status quo back to just the O5 in the mansion with Chuck fighting villains of the week.

Avengers: *recruit a former villain* The rest of the avengers: "ok, cool." F4: "sure, we don't care" X-Men: *recruit a former villain* Avengers: "now we can't trust any of you. We must now fight all of you." F4: "we must also now fight all of you."

Reminder that in the newspaper strip, Stan Lee retconned OMD after like 6 months. Pete just woke up one day next to his beautiful wife MJ and was like "wow that was a crazy dream" and it was never mentioned again.

Hear me out: Flaming Hot Cool Ranch Funyuns

Of all the different versions of the F4 we've seen over the years this group from Excalibur's Cross Time Caper might be my favorite. Mr Torch Thing-girl The Invisible Human Stretch

The only thing bigots love more than telling minorities that they aren't welcome in "normal" society is violently attacking them when they form safe spaces of their own.

I really can't think of a better way for marvel to convince readers "maybe Magneto was on to something from the beginning" than this decades long cycle of repeated genocide any time mutants try to live peacefully on their own.

Shout-out to the time a bunch of literal trolls planned to crash the UK economy by flooding the market with their gold, but X-Factor stopped them

Claremont's vision for X-Men was a generational comic where the kids from the 60s eventually retired. I want to see the world where Charlie fucked off to space in the 80s and Magneto took over (as happened in 616) but then Chuck never came back and only Maggie's views shaped the following years.

Wild to me that if you only read X-Men titles from the 70s and 80s, you always *hear* about how the Avengers and F4 are these morally upright heroes, but anytime you actually see them on the page they fear and hate mutants as much as everybody else
