I think that says it all to me. What would drive her to X-Force or is X-Force done killing maybe?

Same could be said kind of for Hope, when Bishop was hunting her down.

I think the motivations for Bishop made sense and all but he was one of my favorite X-Men. I just think they made him go too far with the things he did to get at Hope. Also, he left the details very vague on what Hope did, when, and why. I know that it a method for the writers to avoid backing themselves into a corner but it still didn't help him make his case. If they hadn't taken Bishop over that edge I think he would have been perfect for X-Force.

I hear you there. They have so many possible future timelines that none of them count or are really threatening. I do hate the device of using a big yearly event as an excuse to change some things around instead of writing those changes into the story in a natural way. It usually just ends up with characters being disrespected and a story that doesn't ring true, as with AvX. Usually the climax is a complete let down anyway. It's like the editors decide on something like Marvel Now and what they want out of it then come up with something quick to get them there.
