Whatever they do with Madelyne, they need to leave Jean out of it.
Ommadon: “By summoning all the dark powers I will infest the spirit of man So that he uses his science and logic to destroy himself. Greed and avarice shall prevail, and those who do not hear my words shall pay the price. I'll teach man to use his machines, I'll show him what distorted science can give birth to. I'll teach him to fly like a fairy, and I'll give him the ultimate answer to all his science can ask. And the world will be free for my magic again.”

They should retcon Maddie's backstory so that she's her own person again rather than just being this weird clone. There are a bunch of ways they could maintain a connection to Jean and make all the stories more or less fit while still giving her an independent identity.
But, of course, we can't even consider resurrecting Jean's niece and nephew.

I dont think thats possible. Everything about her is intertwined with Jean and always has been since her creation. She never had a backstory. She literally showed up one day looking like Jean and started dating Jean's ex bf. The earliest memory she shared was of having a plane crash the day Jean died. Everything since has reiterated this and I dont think you can just reverse that 40 years later. It is what it is.
I'm sorry, but I do feel the need to say this: I don't think it's cute, funny, or, quite frankly, respectable to imply that anyone should be "roast[ing]" one of the few, if not only, Native American-Latina deaf characters in comics.
I mean, you have characters that have killed people and animals to advance their schemes, violated or had a hand in violating others, psychically, physically, and sexually, and who have displayed an utter disregard for the lives and safety of others to ensure their own security and gains. I don't see anyone talking about "roast[ing]" them, nor would I suggest doing so, either.
I think that would be the wrong move personally. I think it’s more important that Maddie establishes herself separate from Jean through her actions, in spite of her origins. Hope Summers makes a point to clarify that Cerebro identifies Madelyne as a separate person. Thus, it is a statement about the fine line between a true clone and an individual. To change her backstory would make the entire point of the story, and thus the Council’s decision of not resurrecting Madelyne, worthless.
