Age of Apocalypse
Did anybody besides me like that little contraversial saga from about 10 years ago?
here is a bit of a read on it if you dont remember it. tho it is a little bit biased.
I remember a lot of people just totally hated it becuase it changed a lot of the characters and their alignments. I guess i could see that.
but then you have crap like X-Men Evolution that does the same thing only without a valid excuse. and people sem to love it!?
Sabertooth kicked ass in the AOA X-men.

i still have those comics...well most of them, still in covers all snugly put away for safe keeping...even got one of the collector's editions where 4 of the comics are all in one book. i still say gambit was well-done in that era too, then again i am biased.

i tried not to think to controversial in kaos thread...again(sorry dude)...but i dont like it when they makes series...like X-men...then they stick like ana alpha on it and give em new powers....thena turbo onto that...with even shitter powers...then you hear nothing for a while......then its bk to the normal series again
tho like pokemon...i supose its ok when they plan to continue it....and make it stick...instead of it being a spevial for awhile...
iunno if that made sense but...its on the same lines right?...if not ill shut up

personally i thought that twist they took it on was rather cool. characters like havoc were somewhat darker. even the beast got twisted in the aoa timeline and managed to escape it aswell if i recall correctly. i say that was a rather good series to do for the comics cause it took most the characters and showed them in a different light as to what they could have become and it shows that they aren't completely evil or bad or completely good, etc.
From what I heard AOA was supposed to be a permanent thing.
only people bitched about it so much they had to write everything back to normal and basicly undo everything just to keep readers satisfied.
cant confirm thats how it went down. but its very likely.
I personally think they should have given us a choice in the matter and kept both versions in print.
I think in the 90's cartoon they even used the idea for a few episodes. dont think it lasted more than 2 before the put it back. it was a short clip, but it effected lots of things and even Iron-man was an X-man in one of the scenes.
As for the changes in powers and alignments and "turbo" stuff. I'm pretty sure its all reasonable, considering they went back in time and killed one of, if not the most important men in the X universe.
besides its not like they just changed things for the hell of it. its a common theory that if you change somthing in the past you can really really fuck up the future.
theirs a book were a man goes back in time on a tour....
fuck it read it yourself
In short a guy gets into the shit becuase he killed a butterfly.
