Oh Good Crazy Emma is back. This will be interesting
Waiting for Uncanny X-Men headlined by Emma and real Scott
Apparently Jean and the others O5 do not approve Emma's methods of using repression and mind control to keep New Tian working.
It seems like one of those situations where the oppressed become oppressors but considering the precarious situation regarding the creation of New Tian does not surprise me. You do not create a sovereign nation in a few months without having problems of infrastructure, administration and security.
So Emma fans say she is still a hero, but yet have no problem with her minipulating and mind controlling the mutants of New Tian to service her agenda. And furthermore if the 05 and Magneto oppose her and fight to end her rule then they are in the wrong...Really! I'm in the camp that see Emma as a villain. The fact that she can swing so far so fast from "hero" xman to conniving villain just shows she was never really much of a hero to begin with. And I will never agree with those calling for a Emma lead xmen book. I cannot envision any xman short of mind-control ever following her. In fact what's happening in New Tian right now proves the point that Emma can only lead by mental minipulation. I only hope there will be consequences for her actions and she doesn't walk away unscathed to do it all over again.
People are saying shes a hero because they recognize that Soule absolutely fucked her with IvX. She didn't flip, that was straight character assassination, and people would follow her again if the X-editors were competent, but we know that isn't the case. Fans are able to separate the shitty writing from what the character would actually do.
Again! When did they ever follow her really? Any perceived authority/leadership Emma ever had within the xmen was solely due to her relationship with Cyclops. Why is it shitty writing or incompetent editors if Emma is not the leader of the X-Men. Her fans may think that she is the "HBIC" and should be leading the xmen as some queen-boss but thankfully not the x-editors. And as for character assassination, well she can get inline behind Xavier, Beast, Storm, Logan and a few others. Nothing special or unique about her in that regard.
