So finished reading the whole X-men Battle of the Atom crossover.
Been really enjoying all the x-books since Schism, but my god this story was dumb. I said a while ago when talking about Sentry's origin story, that in comics you have to have a rather large suspension of disbelief. But as ridiculous as things can get, it still has to make sense on some level, or it crosses over from fantastic to just stupid.
Battle of the Atom is just stupid. The basic premise is that the original 5 x-men were brought forward in time, and now the X-men are divided on whether to send them back for obvious reasons, or let them stay because they feel the orginal 5 should be able to choose their own destiny. This is fucking retarded. You're telling me that with all the time travel, alternate reality headaches the X-men have gone through, that they would be willing to put the entire space time continuum at risk just for some new age hippy "live life how you want" bullshit?
Never mind that there is a GAPING plothole in the story, as there usually is with time travel stories.
Honestly, I'm sick of alternate reality/time travel stuff as a whole. Feel like there's just been way too much of it over the last 10 years. Seems like its like an old well they keep going back to whenever they're feeling too lazy to write something creative.
Well at least it's over, and the x-books can go back to being awesome again.
