I agree the use of Mayan mythos was a great change, but terribly handled----especially in issue #25

Having El Tigre and his two minions defeat the X-Men in a few panels using a bola and a blow-dart gun after seeing them face off against Juggernaut, Sentinels, the brotherhood etc----it made them look like what their training & previous battles had been shown them not to be-----bumbling inept teenagers with no skills. During the Roth/Thomas era---they were always getting beat by villains with lesser training and lesser powers than they had!!!

Angel had figured out how to temporarily defeat (or kill if he chose) Unus by using his smarts and flying him up so high his shield would be useless when he finally fell back to earth.

Then we are later forced to see the X-Men battle the Scarecrow----a guy who controls crows ???
