<a href='http://forums.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?428638-Avengers-and-X-Men-should-never-co-exist' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Debate</a>

The OP made some good points on the friction between the super hero teams and the suggestion that the x-men and their mythos could be seperated to a different dimension where all metas and mutants are feared and hated while the other is where they are all feted and loved like DC.

Thoughts?

One solution would simply be to have X-men move on from the overbearing theme of persecution. It has gotten rather stale. Another would be to further integrate the universes so that only the writers of Avengers actually write what Avengers characters do while the same happens with X-men. Make it so that events occur in tune with each other and in ways that actually make sense. X-men stuck solo dealing with a menace? Have that month's Avengers issue show the Avengers being busy dealing with something at the same time and connect the timelines by using background events like news reports.

The main problem is that X-men books make the non-mutant heroes seem like they don't care in order to make their "Everyone hates us" plotlines work.

The majority of that thread is garbage fanboyism. The X-men fanboys seem to love blaming the Avengers for everything while the Avengers fanboys seem to want the X-men to gtfo of their universe so their fanboys can go with them.

It's true that a lot of X-Men stories would make a lot more sense if they took place in a universe of their own.

The 'feared and hated' thing they have going on just falls into a big logic hole when you consider the rest of the Marvel Universe.

That said, the X-Men share a universe with the rest of the Marvel characters, but for some reason they have always kind of existed in their own private sphere and that is something that seriously needs to change.

The feared and hated thing never made sense under any context.

It would only make sense in a setting where superheroes are a new thing. Even then, it wouldn't make sense for long.
