storm isnt in this issue not sure why she keeps getting brought up.
the main takeaways:
-cyclops admitted he was wrong for his ideas for mutants were wrong (no more rightclops)
-emma was again shown to be heartless, deceitful, and downright disrespectful to cyclops corpse
-cyclops has made a turn back towards the boy scout we all know and remember.
ALL HAIL THE HADARI YAO, THE OMEGA'S OMEGA, BEYOND OMEGA, THE VOICE OF SOL!!!! NOW AGAIN THE ONE TRUE AND ONLY GODDESS OF THE X-MEN AS CLAREMONT INTENDED!!!!!
the only headcanon Ive mentioned is Jean burying him. It could have been Storm, Kitty or any number of X-men around during Phoenix Resurrection but Jean makes the most logical sense. Emma however does not. There is no indication that Emma even know that Scott was alive for 10 minutes let alone, come out of hiding so she could swoop in, steal his body and bury it, with all those X-men around. Tell me exactly how do you rationalize that as making any type of sense?
Nope. Emma was largely forgotten after IvX save for Bunn using her in Blue. The X-men nor Inhumans seemed to care about her for the most part
Expected a lot worse on the i'msosorryloganiwaswrongabouteverythingjeeeeaaaann nn front, honestly. Still felt like an optic blast to the crotch, but oh well.
A few thoughts:
1. Wow, I've joked about Wi-Fi being a Jott shipper in the Cyke thread, but his throwing of shade at Emma was just completely out there.
2. Inflicting severe physical punishment on PassiveAbilityPhoenixRevive!Clops will become a running gag, won't it?
3. Still annoyed at the overall AvX/IvX era revionism, but I'll give it to editorial, they're consistently/methodically annoying in their endeavor.
4. Too bad the tombstone/where's-the-body thingy was just a plain screw-up. Oh well.
Except we saw storm successfully leading for over 20 years before that and saving mutant and human kind countless times. Also i think Storm's body count is far less than others who lead considering she had to deal with a death cloud that marvel made immune to her powers, living in limbo, and a direct confrontation with another race of superheroes. All in all not too shabby. One could say Scott just let all the X-men "die" instead of using his telepathic rapport with Jean to send a heads up while he was on his way to save the doctor that helped Cable bring him back but thats if they want to go there. Then there are the millions of mutants who lost their powers on his watch.

Why are people acting like Storm hasn't led the X-Men successfully before?
Storms leadership being undermined by Archangel, Cable and Xavier goes back decades. Yelled at by all 3 and then having Bishop walk in to say in the future Cyclops is the greatest X-Men leader
After the scene where she talked to his dead body (if i'm remembering correctly) she could have left straight from there and buried him. I assume, and this is head canon, Cable proably showed up right before she talked to dead scott. I mean after all she was there to watch them "bury" him, and also had teleporter Magick there.

Folks are just making fun of the epic IvX era fail and how the DoX retcon didn't make Storm look any better.
Pre-DoX: Storm lets mutants choke to death on Terrigen so she can hurt Scott's feeling and prove to everyone she's better than him.
Post-DoX: Storm lets mutants choke to death on Terrigen because she couldn't handle social media jerks making Hitler memes or whatever, lol.

To be fair, with that conversation being in canon, Storm said that the effects were quite different from mutant to mutant. She said some were sick, some were dying and some were completely unaffected. So in Medusa's defense, at that time she did have Beast and Iso working on a solution together, she provided evacuation efforts to move mutants out of the way of the clouds and she really didn't know that ALL mutants were going to die. Now I am not saying that some people potentially dying and people definitely dying should be weighed differently from a moral standpoint, but it is a situation that needs to be addressed differently. The clouds holding shape allowed for evacuation and relief efforts. The entire planet being covered in the mist because they were dispersing into the atmosphere is something completely different.
I really don't want to rehash IvX and all of the hatred and tension that came with it for fans of the X-Men and Inhumans, but I think it is only fair to mention once again that the scenario, as presented by Storm to Medusa in said panel is an entirely different circumstance as to how events ultimately unfolded.
