I have a question about Jean and Emma in Murder at the Mansion. Did Jean resurrect Emma? She was completely shattered in diamond form. How could she survive? She had to be dead. Did the Phoenix Force bring Emma back to life and if so why? Its not like it made a habit of resurrecting other dead people (other than Jean)
I first thought she had resurrected her with the Phoenix, but after seeing some discussions and lreading it again I think Emma wasn't dead, just unconscious(obviously LOL) and Jean brought her back joining all the diamond shards with her TK.
yeah, iirc Emma wasn’t dead, Jean just snapped the pieces back together.
I’ll just ask somebody on the Emma Frost appreciation thread.
I think Emma's mind was still holding on. They mentioned she had been disembodied before. Jean used her powers (and the Phoenix powers) to make things right and put Emma back together. She knew Scott needed Emma, because (in my opinion) Jean knew she wasn't long for this world. Jean mentioned to Xavier a few issues after that "I'm going away soon...". Jean knew that Emma had fallen in love with her husband, and Jean as she said during Planet X " I don't know how long they will let me stay".
In my view, and with the story in Morrison's run, Jean died in Planet X so she could be reborn in the future and carry out the disinfection. This is why I hate that Here Comes Tomorrow being ignored because it leaves the disinfection plot dangling (unless we say it concluded with Phoenix Warsong).
According to somebody from the Emma thread (as well as a panel they submitted), Emma’s consciousness was still in the shattered diamond.
well that settles it. Ive always wondered how different things would be had Jean just left her to die

lol yeah, better not to think too much about those plots and take them "as is". Morrison wanted to give the feeling that Emma wasn't really dead yet: She was like someone whose heart stopped beating for a few minutes before it was restarted. Naturally, there is just no comparison between those two situations as Emma's brain was shattered into tiny pieces like the rest of her body.
