Sometimes, I actually love things.
I'm re-reading Joss Whedon and John Cassaday's Astonishing X-men from start to finish. As much as I love Grant Morrison, as as much credit as I give to Stan Lee and even Chris Claremont, Whedon's Astonishing X-Men is without doubt the single greatest X-men run of all time.
Joss Whedon put on a clinic for every other X-men author ever, and every subsequent author has either failed MMiserably (the extra M is for Matt Fraction, who needs to be banned from all X-men stories) or just can't live up to what he did (Warren Ellis.)
That's especially true in his portrayal of Cyclops. I've been seriously disappointed with the Marvel Universe's portrayal of him after Whedon's run concluded. It's like they saw how awesome Joss Whedon showed us all he could be, then decided to take all the wrong lessons and exaggerate all the wrong character traits. I'm getting to the point where I really hope someone comes in and Geoff Johns' all of Cyclops' actions since Whedon left and claims that some evil yellow bug was mind controlling him. It's the only explanation for how bad he's sucked since Whedon left.
So I guess what I'm saying is this: Now that Dollhouse is off the air, Marvel needs to hire Joss Whedon to make a live action X-Men show.
And for god's sake, don't put it on Fox.
