My main beef with cat Beast was that there seemed to be no consistent model. Most artists drew him wildly differently.

So was this one drawn by the guy who animates Family Guy?

I cant believe you left the panel out immediately after of Steve Rogers losing his poo poo over Cannonball and Sunspot's antics.

So why the long face? But of course, the worst version was the goofy, lopsided future Beast from Battle Of The Atom. "Hurr" Complete with weird tail.

Whatever happened to Morrison's 'secondary mutations' anyway? Tossed aside and forgotten like Daredevil's third costume and Bruce Jones' Hulk run? What happened to Jones' run isn't a panel but it's funny in a black, petty way. Jones' run was far from perfect, but it started strong (I remember that there was a fair bit of praise for 'Return Of The Monster', Issue #36 I believe that was), and while it sort of petered out it had stuff like bringing Betty Ross back from the dead. Then Jones leaves and Peter David comes back and writes an arc where Nightmare shows up and says 'I've been making you imagine things for years! Go me! Ha ha ha!" and just like that Jones' run never happened. It was the most MEAN and spiteful nerd retcon I've ever seen in comics.

This isn't even remotely true, excuding the inital Xorn reversal pretty much everything else has stuck and with the exception of Bendis (and only because I quit on his run) pretty much every main X-Men writer has said Morrison has been their main influence.

I disagree. With "no more mutants", Marvel editorial completely abandoned the basic premise of Morrison's X-Men run. Instead of mutants being on the verge of inheriting the earth from humanity, they became a doomed and irrelevant offshoot. No more school, no more Mutant Town, no more futurism. The X-titles still haven't fully recovered from that move. Panel tax: Spidey Hostess ad from March and April 1976 cover date Marvel titles. Cap ad from July and August 1976 titles.

The X-titles still haven't fully recovered from that move. But they undid No More Mutants? And there is an X-Men school, Quiten Quire still goes there and they are re-starting the Mutant City (again). The inheriting the Earth thing will be pushed aside because it's all Inhumans now but the school, mutants whose powers are to look weird, Fantomex and The World, it's all still there. Jean is still dead, Xavier is still outed. Like Aaron did a 50 plus run for years which was a Morrison sequel. Certain things were going to never happen but Morrison's run has been the most influential on all the X-books for the last decade.

I just wish they kept whedon's changes around. It's been, what, 40 years? Cyclops should have a handle on this poo poo by now. AFAIK, danger and sword were all that stuck.

You'd have thought Marvel would have learned their lesson the first time they put a team into matching jackets.

It is when you are writing a perpetual minority stand-in that plays on the fear that there will never be enough of you to make a difference and that the system will eventually destroy you. Morison's X-Men run is the worst thing he's ever written and the best thing it did was temporarily get everyone on track when he left.

Let's not jump to conclusions, Morrison's written a lot of terrible poo poo. At least New X-Men had a decipherable plot, dumb as it was sometimes. Plus, Beak.

I don't really read comic books, at least not regularly, but I did by chance get into Avengers Academy early on and follow it for a while since it was fun and easy to follow. Probably because it followed new characters and there wasn't some byzantine canon you had to keep track of, the kids' whole stories were in those books. I eventually dropped it knowing that couldn't last. Hearing ~comics~ caught up to the characters eventually makes me sad, but not surprised.

No but you see Hazmat not overcoming the fears the school had for her is really surprising yet logical because Yeah, I got nothing. Marvel saw the Hunger Games make a bajillion dollars and jumped on the bandwagon.
