It was goofier than that - The senator didn't die in a plane crash. Condor had already rejoined human society and was investigating an assassination plot against the senator, failed to stop it, and then just sort of shrugged and decided "Welp, guess I'll take over the victim's life!"

Eh, maybe that's acceptable in condor society, I don't know how they handle these situations.

They are scavengers, taking things from dead people is kind of their thing really.

Morrison wasn't kicked off, as far as I know. He told the story he wanted to tell, and, yes, Magneto went from smart, conniving fake-Xorn to murder-happy New York destroyer over the course of a couple issues. This was followed up by Chuck loving Austen getting exactly two issues of New X-Men before the "New" was removed from the name again, in which he missed the mark on what Morrison was trying to do.

OK, the totality of my familiarity with this whole plotline is just the stuff I gleaned in passing from this vid, is that actually accurate as to how batshit the whole thing is? Seriously, I think X-men might be less of a comic and more of a soap opera stuck in "let's do weird episodes" mode.
