Anonymous asked: Has there ever been a story in which a character goes to the future/meets somebody from the future and instead of being awed/horrified or saying "its dangerous for me to learn anything about the future" he just shrugs it off because this is the 879th future he's encountered and he doubts it'll ever come to be? You'd think the X-Men would be tired of meeting people from mutually exclusive futures at this point and would stop accepting everything they say as an unavoidable fact.

This is exactly like the question about characters being blase about death.

No, that should not happen. If the characters can’t be excited about the fantastic things that are happening to them, how can we expect the readers to be.

Wanting something like this is a symptom of having read comics for too long—and doing it is playing to the cheap seas of the long-term audience at the expense of the much larger general audience.
