Really?! i thought Avengers got way better. Why not drop it then? I kinda gave up I feel that Disney is starting to infringe on the comics. I can see them lowering the importance of anything not owned by them, its already started.

Honestly, no idea why I haven't given up (blind hope, completionist). I think I expected better. After the Avenger's films and SHIELD TV series I expected the main Avenger comics to be more grounded. Back to a traditional team and setup, fighting the normal set again but Hickman went mad, started doing odd things but he had an interesting start. Now it seems just broken. I remember reading just at the start of this weird count down they are doing a really interesting 10 pages of an issue, well writen, clever hidden plot and it pipped my interest again (art helped, can't beat a good bit of Jim Cheung art). So I stuck with it. May have been a mistake.
Uncanny is getting better but Bendis is now leaving.

But Magneto's not there father it was retconned in the comics. Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver were originally the children of WW2 superheroes then it was retconned to Magneto now it's being retconned to someone else.

Yeah, and apparently Erik Lehnsherr's name is not Erik. It's Max something. Utter bullshite. It's this kind of writing that dawns on the pathetic in comics. These people can't think of good plots so they take a character and change them to fit their story instead of just writing a good story about them, maybe them growing as people. Although, I knew about the WW2 heroes thing, (Whizzer and Miss America?) the latter I did not. Marvel.com still has Mags down as their father.
But that is beside the point, the idea is that their personalities are pretty much defined by their heritage, both mutant and their father. Quicksilver especially, he is proud to be mutant but doesn't want to be like Magneto.
EDIT: That is now though... I'll see where they take it.
