1) After picking up a recent Wizard issue and realizing the whole issue was about Wolverine, I came to the conclusion that I hate him. He is focused on way to much. All the writer's and editors of X-men act like he is the only character us fans care about. He is on like every team, even has his own series, and was even the center of the X-men films. He is cool but not that cool to be focused on all the freakin time.

2) The great thing about Marvel Comics' X-Universe is that it constantly changes: good guys become bad; bad guys become good; heroes and villains die (and possibly get resurrected); members switch teams; some people give birth, and those babies are then tossed into the timestream or age at an unexpected rate. If a fan misses a few months of reading, they may find an entirely new status quo for their favorite book when they return.

3) Some editorial decisions:
Spider-Man's One More Day, which attempts to make Peter Parker Younger and Hipper by dissolving his marriage to Mary Jane Watson.
Jean Grey coming Back from the Dead was also "corrected" by having her killed off, despite her massive Character Development since then.
He evidently preferred Emma Frost being altered to more of a Heel Face Turn and Spoiled Brat than even when she was a villain. So he "rewarded" Emma by sticking her into Jean's place, including being Scott Summers's Love Interest, which started with them kissing over Jean's grave.
He and Brian Bendis had The Wasp killed off, again claiming that her now widowed husband, Hank Pym, is now "more interesting" without her.
Forced Wolverine and Nick Fury to drop their iconic cigars, which they'd had for roughly 30 and 40 years respectively. Killing, maiming and making deals with Satan stand-ins is okay otherwise. Smoking doesn't even harm Wolverine, due to his Healing Factor. When he temporarily lost it, he had to quit.

4) Why do people keep spreading this myth that Jean Grey dies and gets resurrected all the time? She actually doesn’t. I only recall her dying and resurrecting twice, maybe 3 times, which actually puts her pretty low on the list. Off the top of my head I can think of three times Wolverine died and was resurrected. And Jean Grey’s deaths stick for years and years at a time. It would be interesting to do a top 5 list of characters who have died and resurrected more than Jean Grey.

5) Another interesting point to ponder is the Builders use of a phenomenon called White Events. The White Events have been described New Avengers as part of the evolutionary plans they have for the universe, acting as paradigm shifts to transition between different stages of a civilization. The White Event is a concept that Hickman took from Marvel’s New Universe line from the 1980s, but it’s also similar to an older concept of the Marvel Universe: the Celestial’s Host. The Celestials visit Earth on rare occasions, with each visitation being dubbed a Hosting – The First Host, the Second Host, etc. During these times, the Celestials judge the evolution of Earth civilization and decide if they should continue or be destroyed. There have been four Celestial Hosts that have shaped the growth of Marvel’s Earth, from sinking Atlantis to forcing Earth’s mythological gods to stop interfering with human affairs, with the last one seeing the Celestial take notice of mutations in the human race. Sound familiar?
