X-Men: Regensis

Over on the You Are in Charge of DC & MARVEL COMICS thread, somebody mentioned that they'd like to see an All-Star Superman version of the X-Men to sort of clean that messy corner of the Marvel Universe up and make it a little more palatable. Which is a decent idea.

But then I got thinking about the X-Men and wondered: isn't the messiness of the X-Men sort of their appeal? That there's this big, soapy, tangled backstory and history to these characters that, as convoluted as it can get, is sort of the fun part -- maybe even the point at times -- of following Marvel's Merry Mutants around for all of these years?

Or is it just me? Thoughts?

To some extent I would agree as the multiple levels of interaction between characters does make X-Men on big soapy mess, but I must say I am crazy excited for X-Men Season 1 (which is kind of an All-Star X-Men), but this is probably just because the idea of Jamie McKelvie drawing young Jean, flirting with Warren to get Scott's attention, and Bobby and Hank messing around the Danger Room sounds too good to miss. This also being despite knowing nothing about the writer...
