I’m not seeing enough hate for Kitty Pryde during all this, for my liking! She treated him like crap a lot, too.

Bendis' Scott was pretty good for its time and absolutely off the charts compared to Rosenberg's version.
The worst part is that Rosenberg kind of writes Scott as someone who only sees his peers as soldiers, which is consistent only with, you guessed, Aaron's take. The "underdog" thing doesn't even work because Scott is just bashed from all sides, by Logan, by Alex, by Hope and now Dani and there's no nuance to the way he's written, he doesn't show any range of emotions, he's just taking it and letting it slide. And we're talking about a character who tried to kill himself fighting just 11 issues ago, but we're supposed to support whoever got to talk **** about him in the current issue LMAO
When your argument is "Scott Summers has not suffered as much as the others" then, uh ...
Who can be more fucked in that world? Matt Murdock, maybe?

Goddamn it Emma!
Scott actually lost a son, a daughter (if you count Rachel) and every friend he had, plus his life (literally). But that's Rosenberg/JDW's X-men for ya: Scott HAS to be wrong for... reasons, but we'll never be specific because we know fans will refute any argument we present using logic and common sense.
Worth noticing that the last shred of hope I had for Rosenberg is gone with this because I didn't think they'd make Emma's plan the endgame. I thought they just wanted to erase the Earth's memory of mutants to catch a breath and THEN put the real plan in motion. I'm a fool.
Gotta say, though, that I agree with Snoop about the first two pages. Before it looks like mindless bashing from me.
