I like reading about my favorite characters and all but it seems like they really should change the characters to reflect the time passing instead of just continuity reboot after another or other ploys to make old characters seem newer and interesting. Maybe that would remove some of the fridging they do?
It might, but I think that they are able to avoid fridging most het male characters, and manage to mostly fridge women and gay characters, and that the fridging is not a necessary part of storytelling.
X-Factor could've had some interesting tension if, for example, Madelyne had been a part of that series all along ... but the whole premise of X-Factor was busted (mutants pretending to be anti-mutant ghostbusters and thus helping fan the flames of anti-mutant bigotry). But there was nothing about X-Factor that demanding that Scott and Jean get back together, even if it was something they both wanted.
