    Sadly, you take whatever scraps you can get. But again, I don't think this will matter in the long run. So it's mostly temporary amusement. Emma will recover and be fine. Meanwhile, other characters won't be as lucky for future writers who took any of this crap seriously.

    Even with the discussed spoiler topic, while I am evil in my fondness of it, I think could be handled MUCH better by Hickman or anyone not Rosenberg.

    What the problem with Emma getting some of her own medicine? Jean and her relationship with Scott suffered worse for longer.

    Far as Emma's character, her fans feel she just came off as evil & cowardly. She couldn't handle anything that was thrown at her, arguably threw mutants under the bus to save herself, had to rely on Mystique to fix a mess, and even sarcastically says that dragging everyone down with her is more fun that going alone.

    So basically for many fans, she came off as evil psycho Emma. Rather than more complex, mutant-rights Emma. And some felt her pining away for Scott and acting as if they never broke up made her look pathetic.
    Seriously? God, that's so messed up. I'm really not okay with them sabotaging one character at the expense of others. It's lazy and it's poor writing. That execution is so...gross.

    Because if you had any empathy, you'd realize as a fan that suffered so long that it happening again isn't fun or cool for anyone?

    For me, I can empathize with anyone who feels their favorites are being screwed over. But depending on your favorite & the opposing character, empathy takes a backseat to resentment. I don't resent Emma as I am not as invested in any of the triangle characters. But I do find this chapter's ending amusing for reasons stated. But I do HATE all her other character assassination.

    Example for characters I do resent are the Wolverines & Mystique -all of whom Creed has been bitched out to. When Claws of a Killer came out, many Daken fans complained about his character regression back to daddy issues and working with villains. But all I can think is "Well Creed fans have been getting this for years & Daken still comes out fine."

    Wolverine, on rare instances where bad stuff happens to him, I can't help but enjoy it. Because I think it's the least he & his Gary-Stue-ishness could get. Same exact thing with Mystique. Hell when we got the Uncanny X-Men Kings cover, I was hoping Emma would end up playing Mystique for a fool, use her, then embarrass the Hell out of her.

    So because it happened to Jean, it's okay for it to happen to Emma? An eye for an eye right? I always find it so surprising that for fans of one of the most empathetic characters in comics, some of her fans are such petty fools.
    This doesn't do anything for Jean or Scott, it's the graveyard scene in reverse and there was certainly a better way to write a reunion than what was given while maintaining Emma's integrity. Like it or not, she's an X-Man, she's part of the team and to have a writer undermine her and make her look toddler-level incompetent does a disservice to not only the character but the readers.

    I'm going to reserve my judgement on this until I've read the issue. That said I definitely sympathize with your position. It's a reality that comes with caring about certain characters.

    spoilers:
    Weird but I just can't bring myself to feel much either way about this. This should feel like good news but I can't shake the feeling that everyone loses something in that scenario. This may be a case where you have to see with your own eyes.

    If Jean and Scott did get back together I hope Marvel, goes all the way before someone breaks them again. I hope that they show them doing cool stuff and most importantly that Scott makes Jean happy and is there for her, to support her, to tell her that she is everything and the best person. That they interact with their weird family, i know everything is limited but if they are together i hope Marvel helps redeem their romance because it was so beautiful and doesn't deserve to be shuned for bad drama.

    On Uncanny #22

    spoilers:
    Having read the issue I can say from a strictly Jott perspective it's more than most of us could have expected. Especially for those who would rather conveniently sweep everything under the carpet. This is a clear bookend to PR. Was it good? Not particularly. Rosenberg doubles down on the snappy Jott resolution even harder than PR. That page where Jean walks toward Scott. The hard snubbing both Emma and Logan get there tells me this was meant to hammer things home. It was blunt and even cruel in a way. The worst part was that it didn't even feel like it was about them. Sticking Emma and Logan in that panel was a travesty to what the moment could have been about. Honestly their reunion in PR felt better.

    It all kind of came out in the end in a jumble and like PR it all happened too hard and too fast. It really feels like sticking the final act into a few pages just to setup the status quo for Hickman. That said I couldn't be happier that this is the status quo we have. It's a place to start anyway. It's going to take time for this to actually stick, if it in fact does. A few pages doesn't fix everything, or anything really. The whole comic was a surreal experience, especially the last 5 or 6 pages. I actually had to reread the whole sequence to believe that this made it on the page.

    Unfortunately he burned Emma hard along the way. I don't see how that gives the story much joy. Happiness and grief seem like a zero sum game here and I always hoped that could be avoided, though perhaps I was fooling myself. Between how he ended this and the body count , I can't help but think so much of it was a waste. That said, it's good a outcome, if viewed entirely from a Jott perspective. For that I'm grateful and I hope that Hickman will build some meaning into all this. After all, all they've done is say hello.

    X-men Franchise is being reset to mostly factory settings. The bluntness is to ensure that..

    I just read Uncanny X-Men #22. If you're a Cyclops/Jean fan, this issue is a must-have. Nuff said!

    Today's issue felt so good, only for Emma's reaction.

    The problem is that some of the people that HATE Jean do it because they see her as a Mary Sue...but some of the people that are obsessed about her see her exactly the same way, so anything that doesn't make her to be saint is seen as heresy and anyone that likes anything written like that as an heretic that needs to burn.

    Like I said in another thread, this run doesn't really matter in the slightest, so much it could be out of continuity, and the fact that are characters killed there that are shown alive and well in HoX #1 is clear indicator of that, so the Emma being eeeeeevil and incompetent doesn't really matter. This a fan fiction by Rosenberg and JDW for a X-men that, apart from Jean being alive, never really left 1985.

    That said, if Hickman wanted Scott and Jean together, or didn't care at all (and we don't even know that for sure), they chose LITERALLY the worst possible way to do it- no talking or room to explore any issues or anything that really need to be addressed, it was really a **** you to Emma and to Logan first and foremost rather than a reunion (and there's no way Hickman told them do that, or that he wanted Emma to be evil and stupid, it was pure spite). Hell, this run didn't even bring Xavier to the table, is there more proof of incompetence than that?
