didn't thrill me, really.
I can see them using secret wars and time breaking to retcon them being from the same timeline and instead being alternates (like OML is) so it doesn't matter anymore. At this point they've made so many changes i can't see any realistic way to restore the status quo.

Fake rumor.
Bendis brought them over without an endgame, they're staying as long as they're popular.

The Xmen never really "forgave" scott for the shit he pulled in AVX and post. Most of the OG Xmen were about to kill him during the whole "last testament of charles xavier" business. Granted the Xavier school retroactively belongs to him after Eva Bell screwed with time, so it's not like many of them have much of a choice but to play nice or be homeless.
Scott was one of the five individuals known for taking over the world during AVX, and came VERY close to burning the planet to ash before the avengers got lucky and stopped him. He is also a known murderer of a high profile philanthropist (xavier) and doesn't deny it. he was committed to a maximum security facility, was a problematic inmate, and broke himself out when he got bored of playing Martyr. SHIELD/The Avengers went after him and he proceeded to punk them on international television with a team of mutant scrubs. They went after him AGAIN and said scrubs took over a helicarrier and sent it on an uncontrollable joyride cross country. SHIELD doesn't enjoy being made fools of, especially when scott wasn't shy about showing up on television and at pro-mutant rallies to spread propaganda while being a wanted terrorist by the US government.
Its gonna be interesting if it plays out like that.

Teenage Jean and Old Man Logan can finally have a canonical relationship.

Honestly, Old Man Logan in the modern day is a better take on the character.

Actually he gave everything to Storm.
It's not even that. There are things like Gwen going to high school with him when they originally met in college as well them using hashtags and smartphones in a book that has to be set more than a decade in the past.

Cyclops died fighting the Inhumans, who released the Terrigen that made mutants sterile. Always heading in the right direction, Cyke. (We all know he's still alive.)
claremont is prepping the lotion as we speak. and jean can have another man to manipulate
old man logan i dont mind sticking around. im sure regular logan will be around soon enough and it will be interesting to see them play off each other. but if the o5 become alts, then why is anything that they do/are matter to the originals
Timey wimey wibbly wobbly.
Also, I'm guessing Inhumans vs. X-Men is gonna be an event is it?
Exactly, it's a fun highschool Spider-Man book, but only just that. Trying to make sense of it in continuity is a pointless errand.
I don't really see the point in bringing regular Logan back.
Will it end when a hybrid is born/ created?
At this point it's never going to happen. If they were going to go back it would have been at the end of Bendis's run. The only issue is the duplicates now at this point. It's redundant to have 2 Cykes, 2 Angels, 2 Beasts and 2 Icemen. Jean is good though.
There's already 2-3 hybrids, Crystal's-Quicksilver's kid and someone else.
It more or less is just Marvel Adventure Spider-Man 2.0
Which... I had wanted anyway so
i dont see marvel keeping him dead either.
I can, but we'll see. I need my old man Avengers/Invaders team starring Steve and Logan before anything else though.
But according to Marvel the Spidey book is in continuity.
I never said otherwise, I'm just saying that trying to make it fit within the timeline of current events is pointless. If they say it's in continuity- fine, I accept that, but I honestly don't care because it's nonsensical to try to make sense of it. Read as a Marvel Adventures type book I can see myself getting a lot of mileage out of it even if my preference is for Parker Industries Spider-Man.
a brooding older logan interacting with a not so damaged logan while mentoring a squad of teenage girls? id read the hell out of that.
What if they become a romantic couple?
hey, anything is possible. romantic coupling, a time displaced young logan, daken dicking around.
All that's missing is a time displaced baby/kid Charles Xavier.
Let me guess the team:
Jean
Hope
Red Widow
With Ultimate MJ and Veil being surprise characters
bring in ultimate storm, armor and idie and you have a team

Ditto.
There's only one actual time travel machine in the Marvel Universe, and Beast didn't have it.
The O5 are techincally from an alternate universe, not from 616's literal past.

We all know Bendis didn't care about those rules by now. If he did, older Cyclops wouldn't have disappeared when young Cyclops "died" for a moment in Battle of the Atom.
The question is how much does Quesada, the editors and the brain trust care about those technicalities. As far as I know, Bendis is still part of the brain trust and I can't see them getting bogged down in those technicalities.
Bendis isn't involved in X-Men anymore. (Beyond Kitty Pryde being a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy.)
That'll be when I drop both Inhumans books, then.
Based on Bendis' Guardians, Slott's use of the 2099 timeline, and the displaced O5 in general, I think it's fair to say that Marvel's editorial doesn't give a fuck about preserving its continuity anymore. It seems like they just defer to the individual writers preference, so you have the guys who care like Al Ewing covering every base and being super thorough next to guys like Bendis who clearly didn't read anything from any of the character's previous runs.

But he's still part of the brain trust that works with Quesada and editorial to define major events, right?
Yeah.
Crystal's kid doesn't count?
There wasn't any mention of her in All New Inhumans this week. She's likely been retconned out.

Great.
The terrigenisis bomb was created by Maximus, who is a batshit lunatic, my guess is that whatever he did to the standard Terrigen Mists to maximize the efficiency of the bomb is why the Mutants are suddenly having such a toxic reaction to it.
No because Quicksilver isn't a mutant.
