All New X-Men interiors/exteriors (spoilers)

When they or if they go back and now that they have come forward I am just not sure how that does not mess up the current time completely anyway!

And if the O5 go to the Jean Grey School, I am sure Beast will have so much fun being a dick to young Scott. I wouldn't be surprised if he only brought them there so he could slap Scott around and throw him into detention!

Originally posted by InsipidLust If they make it in ANY way sixties like, I'm banning all X-books from the rest of my life because that would be ridiculously stupid, illogical, and it'd make me want to die in a carfire from the sheer rage it would fill me with. I mean, it's a cool idea EXCEPT that Marvel's been talking about their sliding time scale since before time existed.

They don't have to say they're from the sixties (in fact, they shouldn't), but they definitely SHOULD resemble the characters from the old 60s comics.

Otherwise, what's the point? They cannot bring forward some characters from the 90s that never existed.

That said, this whole concept really does not work for me. Well, at least it serves as a good illustration of how incestuous long-running franchises can become if you're not careful.

It indeed doesn't make sense NOW why Beast would do it and how it won't effect the whole timeline. But lets wait for #1 at least for the explanation

I don't think it will be that bad...but I guess it depends on your taste. Some people thought Morrison's run, Whedon's run, etc. ruined the x-men for years to come *shrug*

At the time Marvel said it was canonical.

I thought somebody on here said X-Men FC wasn't in-continuity because it openly contradicted things. And the writers themselves said so.

Wolverine FC was, however, in continuity.

I definitely like the art ... still not sold on the concept, or how it won't affect the O5's future, but I figure I'll read a couple of issues before I further criticize.

I think its funny that we openly accept characters with the ability to read minds, shoot beams from their eyes, control the weather, fly, have external slug stomachs, etc. yet we take issue with the realism of a sliding time scale? really? come on people, get over it.

Unless trends and pop culture slides along with the characters aging. It's not perfect, but I prefer it over breaking the universe and restarting it at, say, Golden Era +10.

*looks at DC*

I don't even think it makes any sense for the vibe being 80's. The 05 are being portraied as late 20's - early 30's -like Spider-Man, and that make sence, they are about the same age. That would make them around 5-9 years old at most if they were formed in the late 80's. I think it's much more belivable that the X-Men was formed in mid to late 90's.

Oh ok, i get i now. Sorry, it's about 3.45 in the night in Sweden, my head is not all there :p But yes, that would make sense!

You know come to think of it just the fact that the O5 comes to the future and might be in their twenties means that Marvel wether they wanted to or not has just aged the whole entire Marvel universe.
Not saying if it's good or bad but we all know how they got rid of Maryjane so they could make Peter a bit younger again, so for the present while the O5 are here that makes everyone else older then they are at least all the X-Men and Avengers and other Heroes around current Scott's age.

But I am sure that when or if the O5 do go back to their own time Marvel can down the road figure out a way to make them all a bit younger and the O5 Jean a bit older so we can have more Logan/Scott/Jean triangle.

A vicious cycle and a little 12 Monkeys

True so if they are teenagers then I guess the rest of the gang with Scott and others remain around 30 somethings. In that regard there would be no real age change

And really when you get passed 30 you pretty much forget how old you are anyway lol - speaking of course from experience
