Not to sound like a fascist who rejects modernity and yearns for a past that never was but I think X-men comics were best in the 80s and 90s and most modern ones feel cringey on the nose and watered down.
I actually hate the krakoan age for it's cultural appopration and character derailment, I hate x-men bemis time travel arc for the character derailment and quasi incel entitlement everyone has for teen Jean, I hate Morrison for the character derailment and trying to return it to the silver age when it was bad, I'm neutral on Whedon run because of the fridging and the character derailment, I hate the silver age for not taking itself or it's metaphor seriously. I enjoy the Claremont era derailment because that was good derailment tho
I sound like an comicsgater who rants about gays and women in comics when I say that
Maybe I don't like x-men, Maybe I just like Claremont and Nocenti and Gage and Pak. Maybe I like the themes but not the execution of X-men. Maybe that's the problem.
