All-New X-Men Q&A with Brian Bendis on Marvel.com

[Twisted Bliss]

I think it’s too easy to marginalize them into their own little corner of the Marvel U much like we usually do with the magic or cosmic [titles], but I think they serve better when they’re all in. When they’re hanging around the Avengers or teaming up with Spider-Man, it just makes the books seem more powerful when the characters are actually a part of the universe.

How deluded is this guy? If he believes this then he doesn't have a firm grasp on why the X-men fan base exists. If they're included in the spandex and pomposity brigade they lose their 'family style' cohesion.

I can only hope there's another Editorial coup and they dethrone this mad despot

And don't forget they are NOT living in concentration camps.

The present state of mutants is in no way shape or form, worse that DoFP. Not. Even. CLOSE.

I supposed Jean could be a little freaked out when she sees Logan's statue garden.

I wish people say stuff like this to their faces at conventions. Not in an angry fanboy but politely point out things like this. This is not the Jean people were clamouring for and this DoFP comparison is wrong on multiple fronts.

Yet. AvX isn't over.

[coconutphone]

I am guessing (hoping) that he meant present-day Bobby. Or am I giving him too much credit?

It wouldn't be. the pitch of the book is how the teen versions are horrified by the future they see here. Modern day Bobby wouldn't make the comparison.

I wonder how well this is gonna sell. The idea sounds crap, and this is coming from a guy who thought AvX would be a nice event. Good writing can change my opinion but i seriously doubt it will happen.

Peter destroyed it, and Headmistress Pryde didn't like her enough to have Hellion fix it. <3

With all the references to Pleasantville, i really wish he would have gone off and written a sequel to that rather than screw up the X-Men. He seems to have a serious fetish there...

He's still talking about that like it's a golden point of reference? It was maudlin hollywood bullshit, nothing more. Get over it, man and find another movie - I heard "Maid to Order" with Ally Sheedy was just as shitty as Pleasantville. There you go.

Rachel doesn't fix it either.

BMB probably has his own security escort and you can't look him in the eye when you talk to him.

like I'm sure he doesn't have like 20 more in the backyard.

Rachel doesn't fix it either.

You know that shows how much she has progresed from her mommy issues. I'm not looking forward to Bendis probably reversing that when she meets Teen Jean.

Just any of the higher ups like Breevort. Anyone at editiorial.

[Robby Robot]

How are Hellion or Rachel supposed to fix it?

They need someone with superglue abilities.

Clearly this is Glob Herman's chance to shine.

Each of them anatomically correct.

Sounds horrible. No lie.
