IMO, The X-Men are being made out to be the villains here, since the Avengers movie makes them more marketable as "Good Guys", and the X-Men as "Villains" because Marvel Studios can't make X-Men Films, so instead, since Avengers Disassembled, they have bowdlerized the X-Men in order to hype a single movie for 8 straight years.

They pull this every time a movie is in the works.

Push the movie characters, bowdlerize the name of whomever isn't in one.

Now that "The Avengers"(The ULTIMATES, in reality) has been in theaters, it's time to stop the marketing department-run commercial crap, and get back to making comics for the people: No longer to push an overhyped movie or 3, but to please their nonexistent teenage target demographic.

Marvel needs to start marketing to the people who actually buy, but do not read the comics: the 21-45 jobless white obese American male who lives with their parent(s) demographic.

(It's not a stereotype:It is a cold hard fact(I have personally interviewed 1000 people who buy Marvel, and 782 fit these criteria!))

Then Marvel might get the teens they so desperately want to actually read them, so they don't end up in plastic bags and sold on Ebay, like all the good comics do.

IN effect, since the X-Men have no movie, but Wolverine and the Avengers do, The Avengers, Wolverine, and whomever is truly on their side are the "Good guys", story-wise...until Marvel gets the X-Men movie rights back from Fox/Re-targets their marketing to who REALLY buys their products.
