History YMMV / HouseOfM

* BizarroEpisode: The nature of the crossover caused a few for some titles that tied in to it. Many Marvel comics did an issue set in the House of M reality that had little or nothing to do with those books' ongoing storylines.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Captain America's reaction to seeing Hawkeye's uniform hung up on the wall of the derelict Avengers Mansion, next to a newspaper clipping reporting on Clint's death. He immediately realizes what it means, and smiles.

* TheScrappy: Layla Miller was not well-liked by the readers when she debuted in ''House of M #4''. People thought Layla was there for the sake of being a plot device by unlocking many characters' "memories" and the readers accused Layla as a SpotlightStealingSquad when the readers wanted to know what happened to other more important characters not shown in the panels. To make it worse, after Layla unlocked many people's memories, she then disappeared from the story and was not mentioned for a long time. Much later, Marvel retconned her looks, power, and personality. While she is still not a fan-favorite, at least she is not considered a Scrappy anymore.

** When Franchise/SpiderMan learns that setting the universe right would mean [[spoiler:losing both the resurrected Gwen Stacy and the young son they had together ''forever''. And don't get started on Uncle Ben.]]

** Nobody actually answered Spider-Woman[[spoiler:'s Skrull doppelganger]] why it was necessary to set the world back, although the whole "humans are a ''persecuted'' minority" thing would presumably be enough to convince the heroes to change it back. They also make the case that this reality is literally at the whims of a psychotic RealityWarper, but such is the case of the MarvelUniverse every other week.

* HilariousInHindsight: Spider-Man asks Doctor Strange to erase his memories of the alternate reality, only to be told that he can't do that with his magic. Two years later, ComicBook/OneMoreDay had Doctor Strange cast a spell that erased the memories of ''every person on earth'', making it so that nobody remembered Spider-Man unmasking in ComicBook/CivilWar.

* TheScrappy: Layla Miller was not well-liked by the readers when she debuted in ''House of M #4''. People thought Layla was there for the sake of being a plot device by unlocking many characters' "memories" and the readers accused Layla as a SpotlightStealingSquad when the readers wanted to know what happened to other more important characters not shown in the panels. To make it worse, after Layla unlocked many people's memories, she then disappeared from the story and not being mentioned for a long time. Very much later, Marvel retconned her looks, power, and personality. While she is still not a fan-favorite, at least she is not considered a Scrappy anymore.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: Wolverine waking up in the ''House of M'' reality to find a strange redhead looming over him, which quickly turns out to be Mystique, who grumbles when Logan attacks her "it's ''your'' redhead fetish!"

* {{Narm}}: Dazzler in the House of M reality, when every hero gets their heart's desire... is a TV show host, rather than, say, a successful musician (the exact thing she dedicated her life to being).

* TheScrappy: Layla Miller was not well-liked by the readers when she debuted in ''House of M #4''. People thought Layla was there for the sake of being a plot device by unlocking many characters' "memories" and the readers accused Layla as a SpotlightStealingSquad when the readers wanted to know what happened to othrt more important characters not shown in the panels. To make it worse, after Layla unlocked many people's memories, she then disappeared from the story and not being mentioned for a long time. Very much later, Marvel retconned her looks, power, and personality. While she is still not a fan-favorite, at least she is not considered a Scrappy anymore.

** "No more mutants."

* OlderThanTheyThink: So, a madman got reality warping powers, AndThatsTerrible. All reality bends to the madman's insane thoughts. Oh, wait. Did you think that House of M was a nightmare? Because, in the Batman vs. Hulk crossover, ComicBook/TheJoker got that power. See a free preview [[http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix3/earthcrossoverall14.jpg here]] and [[http://michelfiffe.com/columns/jose_luis_garcia_lopez/images/04.Joker.jpg here]]

** Before that, the two page spread of the notable events of Peter's life coming back to him, including the deaths of Uncle Ben & Gwen Stacy. Going through all that again, ''in mere seconds'', and [[spoiler:with Uncle Ben & Gwen asking if he's alright as he regains his composure]]? Peter immediately takes off. The other heroes all have looks on their faces that suggests that they're thinking that restoring Peter's memories wasn't the best decision, but Luke Cage sums it up perfectly.
---> "That was damn awful."

** Spider-Man, after his memories are restored and he realises [[spoiler:that Uncle Ben and Gwen Stacy should be dead]]. It's even noted with Shadowcat noticing that Spidey's not making his usual sarcastic remarks, and is just silently hunched over in the corner. And then in the epilogue, he desperately pleads with Doctor Strange to [[spoiler:erase his memories of the resurrected Uncle Ben & Gwen Stacy, and his young son Richard]]. By the end of it, you just want someone to give the poor guy a hug.

* WhatAnIdiot:
** Everyone on the Avengers and the X-Men for forgetting about Quicksilver and his BigBrotherInstinct.
** Despite this being a universe that has therapists with experience treating superhumans, including ''therapists who are superhuman'', everyone falls under this for not thinking to [[MundaneSolution simply]] ''call one'' to help Wanda with her mental health issues. Instead, their closest thing to a therapist is Professor Xavier, whose "treatment" either involves drugging her or psychically putting her to sleep.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments:
** Wolverine waking up in the ''House of M'' reality to find a strange redhead looming over him, which quickly turns out to be Mystique, who grumbles when Logan attacks her "it's ''your'' redhead fetish!"

--> "That was damn awful."

** "Hulk hates stupid giant cyborg things. Hulk hates Australia. And most of all Hulk hates personal pronouns."

* ValuesDissonance: Hulk's line "Hulk hates stupid giant cyborg things. Hulk hates Australia. And most of all Hulk hates personal pronouns."

** Hulk's line "Hulk hates stupid giant cyborg things. Hulk hates Australia. And most of all Hulk hates [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking personal pronouns]]."

* CompleteMonster: In this timeline, before ComicBook/{{Magneto}} takes over the world, [[MadScientist Dr. Bolivar Trask]] is the Vice President under UsefulNotes/RichardNixon. Trask is also the director of the Sentinel program and a major player in an [[FantasticRacism anti-mutant]] conspiracy. Trask has set up forced labor camps across America that use mutants as slave labor. When Magneto assassinates anti-mutant activist Graydon Creed, Trask uses that as an excuse to send a strike force to Genosha to kill Magneto. Under Trask's orders, Bucky Barnes threatens to blow up key facilities in Genosha, including a hospital, if Magneto does not let Bucky kill him; Bucky kills Charles Xavier in the process. After killing Bucky, Magneto goes to the White House for revenge. Trask uses this as an excuse to launch a nuclear strike against Genosha. When Blackbolt disables the nuclear missiles heading to Genosha, Trask considers [[NukeEm nuking]] the Inhumans' city of Attilan as well. When confronted by Magneto, Trask sends his special Theta Sentinels to kill Magneto, not caring whether he or his SHIELD subordinates die in the process.

* MemeticMutation: "No more mutants."

* WhatAnIdiot: Everyone on the Avengers and the X-Men for forgetting about Quicksilver and his BigBrotherInstinct.
** As [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] pointed out in his review, everyone falls under this for not thinking to [[MundaneSolution simply]] ''[[ThereAreNoTherapists call a psychologist]]'' to help Wanda with her mental health issues. Instead, their closest thing to a therapist is Professor Xavier, whose "treatment" either involves drugging her or psychically putting her to sleep.

** As [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] pointed out in his review, everyone falls under this for not thinking to simply ''call a psychologist'' to help Wanda with her mental health issues.

* MoralEventHorizon: Quicksilver, while meaning well, manipulates his mentally ill sister to warp reality, mind-raping Professor X into helping them in this. Making it worse, some tie-ins clarify that Wanda's reality warp didn't just effect Earth-616, but every other reality out there, including ones ''in potentia''.
