One Epic Avengers Vs. X-Men Event Completely Derailed the Biggest Mutant Story Ever Told

As a critic, I have to say this storyline really disappointed me. It all kicked off when the Phoenix Force was headed for Earth, and it quickly devolved into an all-out war between the X-Men. We saw the emergence of the Phoenix Five, and Cyclops tragically became the latest host for the Dark Phoenix. Honestly, it felt like a blatant attempt to capitalize on the success of The Avengers movie. What frustrated me most was how it completely undermined years of compelling character development and world-building that had been happening since the House of M event. The Decimation and Utopia eras were genuinely some of the most ambitious and rewarding periods for the X-Men, and to see that all undone by a massive crossover event just felt like a waste of potential.
