Why can't a character just have an on-going relationship? For example, Cyclops and Jean? Wtf happened there? I'm not even going to go into details because I'm not trying to have a comic-book argument worthy of being a thread on Comic Vine, but seriously, the story surrounding their relationship and how it was just tossed out. And then Shadowcat getting stuck in a missile that just went careening endlessly through space with no one to save her? There are so many stories being weaved with just dead-endings, and instead of trying to add another interesting plot to those dead-endings, they make Avengers vs X-men as though to feed all the "versus" nerds who argue about it all day in the Comic Vine forums. Why? Whhyyy? WHY!?<br/><br/>I will admit that I don't keep up with the recent news with these characters since it isn't a hobby of mine (thus I may be talking out of my ass at times), but being a writer...there is just so much they could do to clean it all up. I can't stand when writers don't know what else to do and you can see it in the work. You watch them write a nose-dive. You can even see it in movies where they don't know how to end the movie or don't know what's going on anymore with the SL they created, and so they just make some random conclusion. A perfect example being Cowboys and Aliens.
