House of M question

Langly

I was going to ask this in the whippy thread, but then it got way too long so I thought I'd make my own post. I don't have many friends who read comics so I was just trying to get a feel about:


[spoiler:b3f601e4e9]how people perceived the Scarlet Witch dynamic to what's been happening recently. I was loving Avengers dissasembled until the whole reason (she's crying cause she can't have a kid) turned out to be her.

And then not only does she cause a huge alien invasion, kill the Vision and Hawkeye, but she changes all of fucking reality? I mean, come on. That's seems like such a bullshit move. With that logic, she has more power than the phoenix. At least that entity needs to take the time to blow the universe up.

SW could, conceivably, have said "no more universe" and it would have happened. I dunno, it just seems like the marvel writers needed something to shake up the mutant population (as well as their world in general) and couldn't think of a good reason to do it. Has SW ever demonstrated this kind of power? How can you just take away a mutant's mutation? Wouldn't it be hardwired into their dna, if not actually their dna? It's just been pissing me off for so long, I wanted to ask. Also, Quicksilver sucks cocks. The whole focal point of the crisis just....ARGH!

Makes me mad. Anyone feel differently? The same?[/spoiler:b3f601e4e9]

I've really been liking Civil War so far, and this lead-in/su plot seems very unneccessary.

Yeah, well ... its a comic so I don't get so bent out of shape over it. You're right though, when did Scarlet Witch become Ultimate Loki?

Servo

well, they do mention that at the end of the main house of m series, that basically she shouldn't be able to do that, logically, so it's all going to come back somehow

yadda yadda big ball of mutant energy or whatever

Hensler

Loki did it.

they kind of dealt with that with the whole Collective arc in New Avengers

Servo

well if it hasn't been in a trade, i haven't read it

Servo

Servo

SO WHAT HAPPENED GEEBS JESUS

Langly

Hah, I thought suddenly people were responding to the post, but it just turns out servo is talking to himself.

[spoiler:af81c050e3]all of the powers went into some guy in alaska causing his town to blow up and then he kills alpha flight

later on he fights the new avengers and sentry flies into space with him but he gets away and heads to genosha where he merges with magneto because the collective is apparently xorn

then the sentry throws him into the sun and magneto "explodes"[/spoiler:af81c050e3]

Not that either of these are necessarily all that important, but

[spoiler:9ca18043bc]The collective apparently acted like Xorn because Xorn is pure energy and could control the other energy, or some such crap. This was apparently an attempt to explain the Xorneto thing, which I didn't care about in the first place, so I didn't particularly follow this either.

The only part that might matter long term is that I think it's not that Magneto exploded, but that Xorn/Collective gave him his powers back and he escaped. Even if that wasn't the original intent, since it's inevitable Magneto is coming back as a villain/hero with powers, I assume that's how it'll be interpreted.[/spoiler:9ca18043bc]

okay, i read the beginning of that story i guess ([spoiler:b509f279f8]alpha flight etc[/spoiler:b509f279f8] but didn't see the end

I thought house of M would have been more dynamic if it would have lasted longer, say two or three years.
I realize that would never happen what with the almighty status quo, but still.

Servo

yeah, i was actually totally interested in like seeing that elite black ops unit wolverine was supposed to lead go on some missions

It'd have been a hell of a lot better than several more months of hunting down unregistered heroes following the conclusion of Civil War.
