What Does The IC's Quite Comical Collective Think About Havok and Uncanny Avengers?

[DrMindbender122]

Kitty Pryde comes through and crushes Havok's buildings with her retort to his bullshit speech encouraging mutant self hatred:

That last line from Kitty was pure ether.

On the flip side, u have this bullshit:

I'm glad someone brought this topic up over on the CBR forums.

Sidenote: Is it me does Cap's smiling ass appear as though he needs a thought bubble saying: "Attaboy, Alex. U say that damn speech just like we rehearsed it. My writing skills are impeccable."?

i agree with remender and where he is going.

right now the X-Men are just "The Civil Rights for White Liberals and their Exotic Minority Girlfriends, ft. the Ethnic Male Cannon Fodder."

aint no way around it. I wish they would stop trying to make mutants into some type of minority group culture..its offensive to real minority struggles.

They need to go back to being heroes and no HS drama wierd shit they got going on, remender an ex x-writer just called out the x-offices for their bullshit and bendis took a cheap shot to keep it going.

Now unless Rick Remender had this all planned as a point of contention among other writers and as a point to later comment on AFTER the issue this all started in (and I dont think he did).....

I get that Remender was trying to make a "WE'RE ALL THE SAME LETS BE FRIENDS!!!" point...But I think he severely underestimated the level at which Mutants have become a stand in for every real life minority ever. Which is odd...given that a huge point in Uncanny Avengers is that by having a integrated Avengers/Xmen team; public relations with mutants will improve. I mean i find it odd that the book is centered around uniting for the sake of sociopolitics and yet Remender seemed pretty daft on the subject with Alex's quote.....

But I digress: If Remender was trying to make the aforementioned point, i get that, but by having Alex say some coon shit like "DOnt call me a mutant" its well just that, Coon shit. Its akin to a black man saying "dont call me Black" or a gay man saying "dont call me gay"....its inferring (regardless of intent) that minorities are the ones who are tripping over differences....that we're the ones who need to not realize that the differences that separate humans are fucking pointless. And thats surely not the case.

x-men straight up jacked the inhumans, the x-men didnt start as the discriminated mutant against the world crap at first, the inhumans did
