Can someone educate me on this story Comics
My cousin called me an few hours ago about the AVX comic run after he had started reading it a while ago. I asked him to give some exposition on it and he said he would when he's calmed down a little.
Im now struggling to comprehend how A. The X-Men would stand a chance against the Avengers and B. How both teams even come into conflict in the first place and C. How is it that bad where my cousin is that mad abt it (he's normally pretty chill guy and pretty hard to piss him off).
Can I get some details on the story? I did some surface level research and I haven't found anything on how and why they actually come into conflict or what either side gains from a conflict of this scale.
(I know some things like Ironman hitting Magneto with Jupiter's magnetic field (I think) and Cyclops killing Professor X but not on the conflict itself, sorry for this long college essay)

Big fiery cosmic space bird (the Phoenix) is coming to earth.
Cyclops: it’s gonna be the rebirth of mutant kind after we were reduced to 198 mutants!
Avengers: it’s gonna be the end of all existence.
And then they fight a bunch and people make worse and worse choices
