The storyline actually had some momentum then was forgotten about, only to be quickly wrapped up here.<BR/><BR/>I feel like the sea of unresolved, half-started plots would get worse post-AOA when Lobdell handled both core books, but it's not great at this point either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734283773701136760.post-47330506640241941692008-03-14T18:37:00.000-04:002008-03-14T18:37:00.000-04:00The original motivation I vaguely recall for the G...The original motivation I vaguely recall for the Gamesmaster was that his telepathy was so high end that he ran the Upstart's "game" as a way to distract himself for hearing the thoughts of everyone else on the planet.

The idea of a villain who has no real agenda, but simply acts out of boredom, is a ripe one, and he really could have been a third alternative to Xavier and Magneto, offering the idea of mutants using their powers not to help society or serve an ideological goal, but just for their own pleasure. Like you said, though, it was a squandered opportunity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734283773701136760.post-88489411656131213432008-03-14T09:37:00.000-04:002008-03-14T09:37:00.000-04:00Reading this, I began thinking I've never even rea...Reading this, I began thinking I've never even read the New Warriors side of the crossover, even though I'm sure I have the issues somewhere. <BR/><BR/>Your take on the origins of Generation X and setting up the Gamesmaster as their chief rival is, sadly, so much more interesting that what actually happened...Austin Gortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281239771248780430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734283773701136760.post-45993572898906508632008-03-13T22:14:00.000-04:002008-03-13T22:14:00.000-04:00Yeah, this crossover was a huge disappointment, bu...Yeah, this crossover was a huge disappointment, but at least it was only four parts.<BR/><BR/>I hate Cable's spontaneous development of TP here; substituting more power for character depth is just massively lazy and, well, come on, it's <I>Cable</I>.<BR/><BR/>I did like a good deal of Fabian's New Warriors run, though; does that make me a bad person?Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16807329346289420791noreply@blogger.com
