Line #17 YMMV/InhumansVsXMen


1	* 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?]]
2	* {{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}}.
3	%%* 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.
4	* BaseBreakingCharacter: [[spoiler:Emma Frost post-FaceHeelTurn. Many believe that this is just the culmination of a long line of bad stories for Emma and destroying a perfectly awesome character. However, others believe that Emma was never as reformed as Emma fans have made her out to be and her becoming evil again is something many fans feel that she's always been heading back to.]]
5	* BrokenBase: Oh boy, where do we begin?
6	** The story in general is seen as a rehash of a previously bad crossover while some see it as an opportunity to fix mistakes.
7	** The ever present issue of Inhuman shilling and Mutant maltreatment.
8	** Being a hero vs hero crossover had either isolated people or gained their attention, especially since [[ComicBook/CivilWarII Marvel already had one such event earlier in the year]].
9	** Did the story fall into TooBleakStoppedCaring? It changes depending on who you ask.
10	* DesignatedHero:
11	** 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.
12	** 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.
13	* FanonDiscontinuity: How a bunch of people felt about Emma's FaceHeelTurn following these events. That the one other instance of Emma wearing the infamous outfit seen at the end of the event was a never-released cover for ComicBook/SecretEmpire and that Emma is wearing her white motif outfits post-Secret Empire makes people feel it even falls under CanonDiscontinuity.
14	* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: Issue #1 climaxes with a montage of Emma, Dazzler, Magneto and Jean tearing their way through all the Inhumans major players while Fantomex, badass assassin, gets tasked with giving Lockjaw some medicine to make him sleepy.
15	--> '''Fantomex''': Everything I do for these people... Everything I ''can'' do for these people and it's "Oh Fantomex, you go after the dog."
16	* IKnewIt: Absolutely no one was surprised when [[spoiler: Dazzler turned up in issue #1 to help Emma remove Black Bolt from play]].
17	* MemeticMutation:
18	** Peanut allergy. [[note]]After an X-Position by Charles Soule, many latched onto his comparison between M-Pox and a peanut allergy for it's blatant attempt to vilify the X-Men for having a problem with the Terrigen Cloud.[[/note]]
19	** "[[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.
20	** After Ms. Marvel and the other Nuhumans learned that the X-Men were fighting to prevent the extinction of their species and STILL wonder who the good guys were, many people drew comparisons with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hn1VxaMEjRU this scene]].
21	* MisaimedFandom: This seems to be the opinion of both Lemire and Soule regarding those that feel [[MemeticMutation Cyclops and Emma were right]], and make it well known by having Cyclops be compared to Hitler post-mortem and Emma go [[FaceHeelTurn full crazy genocidal]] after the conflict is pretty much resolved, in order to support their narrative, pretty much in response to the backlash over ComicBook/DeathOfX.
22	* {{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 a failed attempt by Marvel to create GrayAndGrayMorality.
23	* UnexpectedCharacter: ''Deadpool and the Mercs for Money'' has a tie-in, albeit set in an alternate future.
24	* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic:
25	** As has been the case with the Inhumans for the last few months/years, they come off as far more unsympathetic than the mutants despite the obvious intent of CharacterShilling. Ok, so if the Terrigen Cloud is dispersed no new Inhumans will manifest their powers. Still seems like petty problems in comparison to what the mutants are going through.
26	*** It had previously been revealed in ''All-New Inhumans'' that there was another Inhuman settlement on Earth, known as Utolan, which possessed ready access to the more controllable form of Terrigen Mist. This means the destruction of the cloud ''wouldn't'' mean the end of all Terrigenesis on the planet, but none of the Inhumans actually acknowledge this, seeing the cloud as the only way to create new Inhumans.
27	*** Of the Inhumans, the most unintentionally unsympathetic is Medusa, who knew the cloud was toxic to mutants, is more worried about the lack of super-powered Inhumans than the deaths of mutants. Not only that, upon discovery that the toxicity may never have a cure for mutants, Medusa devised battle strategies against mutants instead of even considering the thought of cloud containment.
28	** Storm shooting Beast InTheBack probably was meant to be a KickTheDog moment... but he's had it coming for a long time now.
29	** 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.
30	** 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.
