I mean, I get the feeling, but this was literally written and drawn as a big slap in the face to Wolverine and Emma, not as much as the final reunion of the two (which I would have given more space and depth than a makeout session to solve everything).
After Jean told him to be with Emma after she died. This one was more like "Yeah let's have them make out in front of Logan and Emma so they look in discomfort and this looks like smart character development and everyone moving on".
Yeah, I tried to have some hope in Rosenberg for the whole run but this last issue did not make sense.
I just think it was a dumb way to estabilish the new relationships status quo and putting the focus on Emma and Wolverine looking sore about them more than Jean/Scott. I liked Emma and Scott together, but I don't hate Jean and Scott either. And after all that's happened I actually hoped Emma wouldn't stay with Scott. This just looks bad to me, as many other things in this run.
Well now that the X-men have returned it's obvious marvel would have to make a choice about Scott, Jean and Emma.
I honestly do not care though I understand why shippers pick up swords and get ready for the war of posts this was inevitable but please try to avoid polluting the topic too much with arguments about who betrayed or kissed who first.
Considering Scott and Emma haven't been together on panel for a while, and Logan had already moved on for quite some time, even turning Jean down in NXM, it's really non-sense. Seems to me more of a way to spite Emma than anything else, either Rosenberg or editorial (or both) seems to have it out for her.
I'm sad for Emma but so happy for Jean and Scott kissing. I missed that, they were apart for so long and had so much drama that it is easy to forget that they are in love.
I'm thankfully for this (not the emma part though poor emma)
It wasn't just the kiss though:
- Giving the cure to Callahan
- Mind wiping and manipulating the X-men
- Mind-wiping the world lasts one issue, and is shown to be completely stupid and immoral and making things worse
- The overall stalk-ish behavior of Scott (reverse the genders and you have an idea
It's very hard to say this wasn't made to make Emma look bad, and overall, that this whole run seems designed to scream "You liked Scott and Emma's characters in the 21st century (never mind the relationship)? Well, YOU'RE AN IDIOT!".
