Give the AoA nightcrawler a chance, while i know it's hard to adjust to a different persona of a nightcrawler, this AoA nightcrawler is still legendary. I think the transition was good because the original Nightcrawler's character was a bit fading during the end. It was a bit difficult to have a priest-like idealist in this generation of the x-men. They could always have kurt wagners memories transfer into kurt darkholme the longer he remains in 616, he could also adopt the religious aspects eventually but be me more like a brutal paladin like of a character.

I'm being opened to this new nightcrawler, and him being in a violent strike force such as x-factor (along with deadpool) is nice!

Give AoA nightcrawler a chance and accept that this is marvel's way of trying to evolve nightcrawler personally. We may have somethings of wagner merge in darkholme anyway.
