That would be like me saying Jean is a pathetic weak character because so many writers have written her as weak. But I don't count the bad writing of Jean when I consider her value. If I did count the bad writing, I'd think Jean would be a pathetic character who is always fainting and needs a man to rescue her princess butt.

    The rape of Storm has never even been followed up or mentioned. Not because Storm doesn't care but because the male writers didn't care nor did they see that as actual rape. A lot of bad stories never get any follow up cause writers realize AFTER what horrible writing that was.
    .
    They can write between that space a lot. For me it was a upgrade of what she did with adult Scott, that she took her position of power to mislead him into affair. It's very clear that Emma pays dirty to get what she wants

    let's also remember that Emma objective was end the marriage or at least cause a strain. She falling in love with Scott was a accident;

    Writers referencing it or not, it still in continuity and readers can not like it. She also exchanged bodies with iceman and almost got him killed

    Far as the affair, I have found both Scott & Emma get hate for it. Emma is just easier to hate more given her braggart & entitled attitude about it. lol MAYBE Scott does feel remorse. I doubt it, but easier for many to see him as being remorseful compared to Emma. So again, easier to hate someone who does lowdown stuff, feels entitled to having done it, and does not feel the least upset about it. I personally dislike them both for the affair. So I got no dog in the fight.

    Triangles tend to do this. Everyone knows about Brad x Jennifer x Angelina. But an even worse one before them we WWE's Triple H x Chyna x Stephanie which started 5 years before the same way.

    After Chyna's death, they tweeted condolences and they were ripped to shreds in the comments.
    https://twitter.com/StephMcMahon/sta...19592570929152
    https://twitter.com/TripleH/status/723129417367732225
    Like Emma, Stephanie has shown to be proud of the affair. She says she saw the man she wanted & took him, then said it was Chyna's fault for not being able to keep him. Later she says the situation was bad but she doesn't feel bad because of what she got out of it. Chyna's nightmare was her love story. So when former mistresses say that kind of stuff, it can pile hate on faster than ever. Again, like Scemma, I dislike them both for that -among other things. lol So I got no dog with choosing one side or the other. They both seem like bad people.

    Any triangle is messy, especially when two of the parties started as an affair. But in all the ones I know of, both parties of the affair got fair share of hatred on all sides.
    Scott actually apologized to Jean, but it still felt flat.

    I don't think Logan/Jean/Scott was messy at all. The reason is that Jean was never allowed to feel more than a phisical attraction for Logan. Now Scott and Emma went all the way in, that really messed up everything.

    This Triple H and stephanie is so like Jean/scott/emma. Stephanie is the rich mean girl that destroy a marriage and is proud to do that. Even screw up Chyna on WWE
    Triple H cheated on Chyna and left her for Stephanie. Even if Jean wasn't killed Scott would Choose Emma.
    At least WWE fans seems to side with Chyna, because x-men fans just switched like nothing bad happened.

    Why I am hardly ever here anymore because the X-books so far haven't given me a bone to enjoy.
    My guess? She is on x-corp or some of the books that are being produced but not announced

    we need the two established kids who have been around for quite a long time now and who won’t go anywhere. What we don’t need is Logan having more kids around. Daken could use some paneltime and good stories after years of mistreatment, but more importantly, he’s on the most diverse X book Marvel ever produced, also written by a queer writer! - and his Japanese heritage and sexuality are being acknowledged finally(in a good way I mean). This book and cast are significant in many ways and a big step in the right direction. Yes, we did need it very much!

    Pretty sure those pages are from X-Factor. Not sure why Bleeding Cool included them.

    Also, not every character needs to be buddies with every other character from a narrative, storytelling standpoint, putting asidet he actual negative things they do to each other that make the notion of them "getting drinks" or whatever dumb.

    I also want the animosity that should be there between Jean and Magneto. Even if they aren't at each other's throats there should be a certain push and pull between them. I feel like Bunn gave us a little bit of that with the little kid version of Jean for an issue or two.
    I think they are more like frenemies like shady chics from the real housewives of Atlanta lol. I’m fairness, Jean also got abusive with Emma after she confront Emma with her affair with Scott. Probably be traumatic with the most powerful telepath rummaging through your mind without your consent. That’s quite abusive. Emma is petty but with a good heart. She means well esp after she joined the X-men. Unlike the old school Xavier, she wasn’t afraid to do what it takes to protect her kind.

    Storm is obviously Sheree and Emma is Kenya (and everyone should ask me to elaborate).

    I'm glad you asked.



    Emma is obviously Kenya because both of them started as the villains and they were depicted as the hoes of the group at first. Add the whole hitting on a married man and boom my essay on The Real Housewives of Krakoa is already writing itself. Plus they're shade killers.

    Ororo is essentially an OG Lady of the X-Men like Sheree but she's become background in the later seasons and had some time off from the group too. They both needed that. But, like Sheree, Ororo is still ready to drag a bish should it be necessary. And also like Sheree Ororo has been building her house in Wakanda for years but she still hasn't moved in yet.

    Yes, It does. I'm not convinced about it yet but the more I think about it the more it works. Because Jean and Emma should be able to read each other almost equally and that's a Phaedra/Kenya power dynamic. Plus everyone in their group rode for Phaedra by default at the beginning, sounds similar (shade).

    Plus Apollo and Scott are both hawt.

    She's built it in Season 9 after 5 or more years. It was left unclear if she's paid it.
