That pretty much what Cap was saying.. |

It was pretty clear the gems were only of secondary concern, it was more something about the Inhuman past. As far as the incursions go, my money is on Doom to deal with that. Hab |

Well, not to reopen old wounds yet again... But it's apples and oranges. It's ok for them to make these decisions because there is no alternative. It's do what they did, or the entire planet is a goner. This is not at all a similar scenario to Scott taking it upon himself to do what he did in AvX. Scott Summers wanted to harness the energy of a cosmic entity which had a history of completely razing entire civilizations and planets, and starting things over (and also corrupting its' hosts)... brilliant idea.  Moreover, he was making a unilateral decision for the entire planet in order to save a small percentage of people (and turning it into a police state in the process) which is, again, different from the Illuminati trying to save everybody.But regardless, they're not meant to be portrayed as being in the right. It's been a point in the book that what they're doing is pretty terrible, but necessary. |

For some reason, these qualities are justified and admired by most readers, saying "they have no choice." Their actions are rarely heroic in these events. They're pragmatic. These are not the heroes we need, but they're the ones we deserve. |

If you want nothing but happy endings and generic "hero saves the day" stories where you never have to worry about anything because you know the good guy will save everybody and drink his milk and take his vitamins and give a nice big thumbs up to the reader, maybe superhero comics are no longer for you.  I'm sure people who grew up reading comics in the 50's felt the same way at some point as comics evolved. |

There is no alternative to what the Illuminati are doing because they, like Scott Summers, are not sitting around waiting to ask somebody else for help. They saw a problem and they assumed that they knew what was best for everybody else. Eventually one of these alternate universes are going to notice that their Earth has gone missing. More than likely somebody is going to come looking for answers. If they went to somebody else and asked for help, maybe they would have come up with a better solution. It's time for the Marvel Universe to forgive Scott Summers. He was right after all. |

And it will still be better than anything Johns has done since 2005. |

What if there is no better solution? You've got the smartest minds in the MU together here, and they've come up with no better solution. Meanwhile, there's not exactly all the time in the world to drink martinis, kickback and relax and brainstorm with everybody. They're on a countdown with every incursion.
No, he wasn't. Events only played out like they did because the Avengers got involved, and if they had never trained Hope to prepare her for it, it would have been a disaster. This was pointed out in the actual event itself, but Cyclops-defenders want to just forget about this everytime. The event was written for there to be a defensible position for either side, so this debate will never end. But it was also written in a way that Cyclops original plan was simply not going to work. It was all dependent on information from the future, which was all dependent on the Avengers being involved the way they were... which Cyke didn't know about beforehand. So he wanted to just throw Hope out there and cross his fingers and pray it'd work. But that's not how events ever would have played out. The Avengers role in it was set from day one, and the only reason Hope was "the mutant messiah" was because of the training and guidance she received from them. It's all cyclical. |

Fact: There is always a better solution. Besides, they just started taking Black Swan's word for everything. For all we know, she could be tricking the Illuminati into making things worse. The Illuminati are putting the world in just as much danger as Scott did during AvX if not more. I don't remember the Phoenix being capable of killing the Living Tribunal. However, instead of being locked up without due process and branded terrorists, they will be lauded as heroes when all is said and done.
Come on Chris! Tony Stark himself admitted the Scott was right! The Avengers should have offered to help first, instead of going to Utopia and making demands. AvX didn't need to happen. It happened because the Avengers decided that they knew what was best. If it wasn't for them, the Phoenix never would have broken into 5 pieces, Scott Summers never would have been possessed by it, and Charles Xavier would still be alive. |

The Outrider seemed to be concerned they didn't exist anymore, though. Hard to say that the gems are ever a "secondary concern" to Thanos. They're like the Anti-Life Equation is to Darkseid. A further Inhuman connection to the Gems in the past beyond Black Bolt wouldn't be out of the question. |
