History YMMV / InhumansVsXMen

* MoralLuck: Part of the reason the Inhumans are seen as a DesignatedHero faction is this trope.
** The Inhumans [[spoiler:execute Cyclops (or think they do) for altering a cloud to be non-fatal to mutants. Later on this proves to be accidentally ([[UnintentionallyUnsympathetic somewhat]]) justified by "Cyclops" not being real, and the cloud later being destroyed by the alteration]].
** The Inhumans violently defend a rapidly spreading cloud of Terrigen mists, which if unchecked, would '''kill''' every mutant it comes across. Luckily for their point of view, [[spoiler:Emma]] goes insane and tries to kill them all so they can seem like the good guys at the end.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Attempted but utterly failed by [[http://www.cbr.com/x-position-charles-soule-x-men-inhumans/?view=list Charles Soule's X-Position]]. Fan response to Soule's answers to pertinent questions (IE the disconnect between "Cyclops'" actual actions in ''Death of X'' and the way he's perceived by people such as Storm ''who were actually there'') has overwhelmingly ranged from disbelief to outright ''ridicule''. In particular, Soule comparing the Terrigen Cloud to a ''peanut allergy'' has drawn scathing criticism from readers.

* AuthorsSavingThrow:
** Marvel promoting the [=ResurreXion=] mini-event before the event even started, which saw the X-Men books get a total revamp and brought the extinction threats to an end. This announcement has been met with much joy from X-Men fans, seeing how the franchise has been dealing with extinction level events and group in-fighting for more than 10 years now since the ComicBook/HouseOfM.
** Issue #0 clarifies a problem with the ending of ''ComicBook/DeathOfX'', that Cyclops' attempt to change the Terrigen Cloud didn't just alter it, it ultimately destroyed it.

** At the ''very least'', by the end of the story, Cyclops' name is somewhat cleared and he probably won't be compared to Hitler anymore.

* UnfortunateImplications: [[http://www.bleedingcool.com/2016/12/15/run-lose-fight-choices-ivx-queer-perspective/ This editorial raises several]].
** The X-Men have always been a stand-in for minorities, with a strong LGBTFanbase precisely for this very reason, so the idea that the pacifist solutions for the Terrigen Mist the X-Men get presented is to either take it lying down and die, go away or get [[CureYourGays "cured"]] by removing their x-gene is, well... hard to take, to say the least.
** Another problem mentioned in the same article above is also present. The Inhumans side is not so much fighting for survival as much as it is the preservation of their culture since Terrigen is not the thing that creates the Inhumans but more of a coming of age type ritual. The X-Men meanwhile are fighting in order to not be ''[[CruelAndUnusualDeath gassed to death]]''. So to put it in perspective: The homes of long oppressed minorities is overtaken with a foreign population's dangerous substance which kills and sterilizes them; and the foreign population is justified in forcing the minority to either convert, die, or be forced abandon their home because it's the foreign population's culture.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: [[spoiler: Medusa really didn't want to destroy the mists. However, she also knew that revealing her true feelings in front of the Nuhumans, who wanted to help the mutants, and the X-Men, who were fighting to save their race, would likely result in her being seen as the bad guy. So, she destroyed the mists, not to save mutantkind, but to save face. Her speech while doing so drives this home: How could she NOT know that the mists were deadly to all mutants when Storm informed her of this several months back?]]

** Did the story fall into DarknessInducedAudienceApathy? It changes depending on who you ask.
* DesignatedHero:
** The Inhumans. They're supposed to be just as sympathetic as the X-Men, maybe even seen as the more heroic of the two since the X-Men attack first and have [[DesignatedVillain Emma Frost]] on their side but very little good can actually be said about them. Their species isn't at risk if the cloud is destroyed, just their powers which even then has been shown to have other ways to activate them [[note]]like Daisy Johnson[[/note]], they have done practically nothing to help the race they are inadvertently exterminating [[note]]Giving Beast a single Nuhuman scientist hardly counts and as Frenzy points out in All-New Inhumans #11, moving mutants out of the cloud, while well-intentioned, just dodges the actual problem.[[/note]] and killed [[spoiler: (or at least think they killed)]] the last person who dared try to remove the cloud.
** The X-Men, while what's happening is clearly bad for them there's the fact that they didn't share this knowledge with the Inhumans, nor even consider it before attacking, and there's the fact the X-Men put the Royal family in [[EldritchLocation Limbo]] as a way of "safely" detaining them. However, considering how the Inhumans reacted [[ComicBook/DeathOfX last time]], it's at least someone understandable why they acted as such.

** "[[spoiler:Emma]] was Right" has been picking up steam since ''ComicBook/DeathOfX''; The reveal that [[spoiler: she was right about the threat of the terrigen mist going fully global]], just made it gain even more traction.

** The Inhumans violently defend a rapidly spreading cloud of Terrigen mists, which if unchecked, would '''kill''' every mutant it comes across. Luckily for their point of view, [[spoiler: Emma]] goes insane and tries to kill them all so they can seem like the good guys at the end.

** The X-Men have always been a stand-in for minorities, with a strong LGBTFanbase precisely for this very reason, so the idea that the pacifist solutions for the Terrigen Mist the X-Men get presented is to either take it lying down and die, go away or get [[CureYourGays "cured"]] by removing their x-gene is, well... hard to take, to say the least.

** O5!Iceman was seen as this by some people. While most agree a teenager falling in love for the first time while coming to grips with their newly discovered sexuality is a very hard thing and would do and say some dumb things, him offering to betray the X-Men for his Inhuman boyfriend [[note]]The very subtly-named Romeo[[/note]] while also calling Cyclops a monster long after Cyclops' alleged MoralEventHorizon turned out to [[InformedWrongness barely even qualify as rude]] struck a cord with some people.

** The X-Men, while what's happening is clearly bad for them there's the fact that they didn't share this knowledge with the Inhumans, nor even consider it before attacking,and there's the fact the X-Men put the Royal family in [[EldritchLocation Limbo]] as a way of "safely" detaining them.

* AssPull: The very attempt of making this a balanced conflicted feels incredibly forced, as the Inhumans ''did'' know that the Terrigen was fatal to the mutants. Beast had been working with them on a solution for months. The only thing that is supposed to make a big difference now is that they didn't know it would encompass the ''entire'' globe faster than anticipated and the X-Men not telling them this and attack preemptively is supposed to make them equally unreasonable. Problem is, that the Inhumans previously reacted quite violently when their cloud was targeted. It's even worse when one remembers that previous books established Terrigen was toxic to mutants ''long before the Terrigen Bomb plot was ever introduced''.[[note]]Quicksilver attempted to use Terrigent to repower mutants after M-Day, with fatal results. Medusa chastised him ''because the Royal Family already knew it would kill them''.[[/note]] All in all, most fans thought that this attempt of an AuthorsSavingThrow did little to make the Inhumans more sympathetic, instead turning the story into an even bigger mess.

** The X-Men, while what's happening is clearly bad for them there's the fact that they didn't share this knowledge with the Inhumans, nor even consider it before attacking,and there's the fact the X-Men put the Royal family in [[EldritchLocation Limbo]] as a way of "safely" detaining them. That said considering how the Inhumans reacted [[ComicBook/DeathOfX last time]] someone meddled with a Terrigen cloud it is understandable why the X-Men did not bother sharing this knowledge with the Inhumans

** The X-men, while Earth becoming uninhabitable for mutants is obviously terrible, there is the fact that they didn't share this knowledge with the Inhumans, nor did they even think about it before launching their attack, and it's worse in consideration that the Inhumans ultimately agree that the Terrigen should be destroyed but simply don't get why the X-Men didn't tell them and avoid fighting all together. That said, the book does show why Mutants would not tell the Inhumans, dating back to the events of ComicBook/DeathOfX.

* WinBackTheCrowd: Winning back the X-Crowd seems to be the goal for [=RessurXion=], promising the end of the loathed Terrigen-Poisoning plot and 8 new X-Men books such as bringing back the classic Blue and Gold teams and the first ever Jean Grey and Iceman ongoings.

** The Inhumans [[spoiler:execute Cyclops (or think they do) for altering a cloud to be non-fatal to mutants. Later on this proves to be accidentally ([[UnintentionallyUnsympathetic somewhat]]) justified by Cyclops not actually having been killed by them (not for lack of trying), and the cloud being destroyed against Cyclop's wishes.]].

* {{Narm}}: After the Nuhumans learn that the mists are going to make the planet toxic to mutantkind, and that the X-Men are fighting to stop that from happening, a horrified Ms. Marvel asks 'Who are the good guys?' When the answer should be pretty obvious, and it comes across as another failed attempt by Marvel to create GrayAndGrayMorality.

** The X-Men, while what's happening is clearly bad for them there's the fact that they didn't share this knowledge with the Inhumans, nor even consider it before attacking,and there's the fact the X-Men put the Royal family in [[EldritchLocation Limbo]] as a way of "safely" detaining them. Though considering how the Inhumans reacted [[ComicBook/DeathOfX last time]] someone meddled with a Terrigen cloud makes it more understandable why the X-Men did not bother sharing this knowledge with the Inhumans

** [[Comicbook/{{X 23}} Wolverine]] being perfectly happy to kill or maim Iso and Inferno in issue #2 did not go over well with X-23 fans, considering a major element of her character is ''not'' wanting to kill.

* RonTheDeathEater: The Inhumans, many people even on this very wiki will have you believe that the Terrigen was deliberately released by all of the Inhumans, to specifically target mutants when the reality is only Black Bolt released the Terrigen against the wishes of the rest of the royal family, and that was seen as such a terrible thing that the Inhuman throne was taken from him and his marriage to Medusa was annulled, and even then Black Bolt didn't do it out of any malicious intent towards mutants he tried to use it as a weapon against Thanos.

* {{Anvilicious}}: ''All-New X-Men #18'' hammers home the "Cyclops is Hitler" analogy with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer. And in fact one panel even ''has'' a meme-type image of the elder Cyclops photoshopped with Hitler's face to drive the point home. It's made even ''worse'' by the fact that the issue follows the time-displaced teenaged Cyclops' point of view, and he was ''actually there'' during ''Death of X'' and saw first hand how wrong the comparisons actually are, turning his musings into full-on {{Wangst}}.

** The Inhumans again, many depict their side in this story as fighting to exterminate the mutants while ignoring that in the actual story the Inhumans have no idea that the Terrigen will make the world completely uninhabitable for mutants and for the most part are acting in self defense.
