I think you are completely way off base.  How can you enjoy a ride
that is terrible.  I have stopped buying the x titles (except
X-Factor) and only look at my friends occasionally and
get the latest news from him.  It is so funny, (but this is 
my opinion), that people just love the flash and dash of characters
that they dont even realize that there is no...  ABSOLUTELY
no story.  All this stuff happening right now is a perfect example
of it.  There has been no real originality or creativity
seen in any of the titles except X-Factor.  If not for 
Peter David's work on this title, this would also be
in the thrash.  And if you are think9ing that I have no basis for 
my comments.  Then here are some good ones.

1.  The time travel craps is exactly what it is.  Crap.  The people
at marvel have seen Terminator and Terminator 2 and some other 
movies one too many times. It is not an original plot.

2.  Most of the issues all deal with tons of action, big muscles,
big breasts coming out at the reader.  You have to scrape
away at all this crap just to find the story and even then, the 
story is not worth it.

 
3.  The over over over development of characters.  How much can 
you actually do with wolverine?  And Psyclocke?  Come on.. a ninja?
That was absolutely pathetic.  All these characters have to have
cool or neato powers.  No one can have some weak or not 
so godlike omnipotent powers.  Doug, from the New Mutants 
wasa good underdeveloped character which was just starting to get 
good.  He had no real powerful mutant abilities, but that
made the story a little more believable.  Psylocke was not a strong
memeber of the group but no... can't have weak mutants.  

There are just a few of what you called hypocrital bitches that I 
have and they are all VALID.  Why should I pay for crap
when I can enjoy a real title like Sandman ro Hellblazer or Hulk
or even X-Factor? If you want to buy and read crap.. by all means
do so because that is your right too.  But dont tell me not to 
bitch about stuff.  This is suppose to be an open forum
and a lot of valid "bitches" have been made.  This is the place
to do so.  And if you do not like it.. for all those who do not like
it. Tough.  This is suppose to be the place to discuss stuff.

If not for good writers like Petr David, the only good mutant
title would also be crap.  Thank you Mr. David.
AT least someone at marvel writes a good story.

IF you you want to bitch at me...mail all bitches
to  orlando@gn.ecn.purdue.edu

I would hate to have to waste someone time
with seeing someone getting his jollies flaming me.
Some may think this is a flame.  It is really not.
It is just that people better learn that this 
is open forum and that there infallible mutant
titles are in facty..

very fallible.
