I stopped reading Uncanny at issue 311. I dropped X-Men around the same time at #34. Since then I've gone back to the book a few times. - Uncanny #444-463
- I've read the begining of Morrison's New X-Men (but never finished it.)
- Astonishing X-Men (1-24)
- Hidden Years (entire series)
That is all she wrote when it comes to my once favorite comic book.

I remember shouting "Oh Bullshit !" when I was told that 'the Danger Room is angry'.

I had no problem with that in Astonishing since it was long established that the Danger Room used Shi'ar technology where AI is plentiful.

Watch out Quasar! Your nega-bands are angry! Not as angry as the Silver Surfer's board was that time it got into a fight with Mjolnir but still pretty angry. The eye of Agamotto is lazy. Oh and the Batmobile is a creepy voyeur that loves it when any super heroine sits in it. And why accidently invent an Ultron when you can just order one from alien catalog your girlfriend let you borrow?

My first issue was X-Men #121 the second half of the Alpha Flight story.
Cyclops
Storm
Nightcrawler
Wolverine
Colossus
A five member team is the perfect number. Any more you got the Avengers and any less you have the FF

My point is that the danger room being angry is stupid and Shi-'Ar AI is a pretty crappy explanation unless the Shi'Ar are a bunch of #@#$ing idiots who shouldn't be messing around with AI technology. I guess they aren't big on caring about their customers safety.
The danger room being angry is like the Helicarrier being angry or Project Pegasus being angry. It's like Reed Richard's fathers time machine being angry. When long standing inert scenery or props suddenly awaken to sentience and get angry or otherwise emotionally active it's stupid. Especially when the excuse is that it incorporates exotic technology that never did anything like that before but suddenly did when we needed a villain.
It's as dumb as when StarTrek had the Enterprise suddenly deciding to produce some odd sort of living offspring with the help of surreal retro images of a train and engineer full of holodeck character passengers.

I dunno. I don't think the Helicarrier was built with alien technology nor designed to act and think in order to carry out their purposes. The Danger Room was. The Danger Room was much more of a computer than some of the other things you mentioned. Computers going evil are a pretty standard convention in comic books from Ultron to Superman III to however many others were out there. Though I am sure it depends on if that type of story is your type of story. YMMV.

The "holodeck" Danger Room sucked from day one.

Just realized I tried to defend a story I didn't even like. Never mind.

My first encounter with the X-Men was this house ad. I was intrigued by the fancier costumes on the right half, and was vaguely scared by the guy leaning on the tombstone.
I dropped Uncanny just before the "Second Coming" crossover, when I finally admitted they hadn't been "my" X-Men for a long time. (I know, I know.)
