It's Jean who somehow thought Emma would be a better fit, because if Scott remained fixated on Jean, he'd give up on the dream, which is what happened in her future.
I look at Here Comes Tomorrow as very much the OMD of Scott/Jean stories, in that a god-like being (Jean in the white hot room and Mephisto) interferes with the natural order of things to ensure a different reality comes about, and the characters (in this case Scott as well as Peter Parker and Mary Jane), go about their business with a deliberately manipulated and skewered view of things, not really understanding their choices. The difference between HCT and OMD is that MJ and Peter found their way back to each other after a decade or so...but then, OMD ended with MJ making that very promise to Peter, that their love would overcome Mephisto's magic. This isn't magic we're dealing with of course, it's all the power of the logical mind over the truth in your heart. Morrison's run just ends with Jean telling Scott to live because all she did was die on him...and it appears that is very much still the case. Jean just keeps dying on him, or he dies on her.
Mutants should stop being goddamn Vulcans when it comes to romance.
Jean/Bishop won't last, it probably won't even be a few years. Marvel catch on quick when something isn't working.
