    You're ignoring the fact that Sentinel was hijacked by a TECHNOPATH that could control technology with her mind.

    Thats moot. Christos Gages story was open ended did it gain true sentience vs is it malfunctioning. It was completely ignored in Avengers Arena and there was zero fight put out by the Sentinel when its systems were taken over

    Because TECHNOPATH. The same chick was able to take over Deathlocket's cybernetics during Arena as well, and DL was conscious of it the entire time and couldn't do anything.

    So no, it's not a moot point.

    Also going back to your first post, it wasn't Sentinel that killed Juston in the first place, it was Apex who snapped his neck.

    Doesn't matter, its moot because it wasn't brought up in AA. That Sentinel showed no signs of an evolved sentinence. In any case even in AA the Sentinel was given a new objective to try to override its previous programming. However, it never removed its other objectives to destroy all mutants. It just pushed it down the list with protect Justin to the top of the list.

    Regardless it was never brought up again. At least Deathlocket showed awarness the Sentinel did not especially when it tossed his corpse like a ragdoll. And in AA keep in mind the Sentinel struck first

    I think Gage was leaning more to the former by the ending.

Or 'DIE' and her mind shuts down. (This isn't an X-23vEmma thing, as I don't think Emma gets nearly the comeuppance she deserves for the things she's done. It is a psionics/magic vs melee DPS thing.)

    IIRC, in NXM it was implied Laura has fairly strong mental defenses, as Emma mentioned to Scott it took some time to breach them and learn about her true nature.

    You're right about Laura having mental defenses. But I know Emma broke through those before, and was specifically able to stop her cold wit just a thought during the M-Day battle royal, so I assumed she was strong enough to break through those a long time ago. Or at least that it's easier to give a one word command than to dig deep into someone's memory and psyche.

    But that is all conjecture and I might be wrong. Perhaps Laura got stronger defenses since then, or Emma's breakthrough lapsed.

    Laura was also distracted by the other kids she had to fight, whereas in this she's able to focus her attention on Emma.

    This was still one of THE biggest wasted opportunities of the Schism era. There was so much that could have been done with this.

    Marjorie Lius Emma actually blamed herself for letting Laura down and blamed Cyclops for using her as a weapon

    It was just a dumb story

    I'm with you on this one. The younger versions of her teachers (whom she'd never shown interest in before) seemed forced and pervy to me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Edit: I'm glad they kept the Gambit relationship platonic. I thought that was done well.
    I'm not totally useless. I can always be used as a bad example...
