emma's quite the hypocrite about charles/erik, being bribed by mystique and daring to yell when the whole house of cards can tumble down because of her vote

So happy that Destiny is back for real! What a great character and I love that we get to keep seeing her romance with Raven flourish. She better stick around after this so we can get a reunion with her and Rogue (As I like to think Irene was Rogue’s favorite mother over Raven.)
And Besides Charles and Erik for obvious reasons, why was Kate and Ororo so adamantly against Destiny joining the council? Was it because of her affiliation and lack of trust with Raven? Regardless of the situation and background, having a future teller on the council is extremely convenient.
Emma Frost, Rogue, Felicia Hardy, Helena Bertinelli, Allison Blaire, Barbara Gordon, Monica Rambeau, Carol Danvers, Illyana Rasputin, Ororo Munroe, Harleen Quinzel, Lorna Dane, Irene Adler, Kate Kane, Rachel Grey Summers, Jean Grey, Diana Prince, Barbara Ann Minerva, Donna Troy, Jennifer Walters, Gwen Stacy, Wanda Maximoff = PERFECTION!
This! So much this.
I’m pretty much neutral on Emma, she’s not a favourite of mine but I don’t dislike her and I can see how much fun she is to write (I’ve used her on one of my seventy plus fanfics and yes, she was a hoot) and I think she has a place in the franchise.
But the X-Men feel like ciphers in their own comics.
I love the idea if Krakoa but for me, it’s execution has meant that too many characters have been out of character or shoehorned into a role, Charles, Eric, Scott, Ororo, Emma being amongst them.
I'm actually really surprised at the amount of people who seem to be missing the point of the Emma scene. Yes Emma is a manipulative character and duplicitous at the beat of times but all that pales in comparison to ehat Xavier Erik and especially Moira has gotten up to.
Emma essentially learned (in the matter of a few seconds mind you) that her entire life or at least key parts of it have all been a machination by these 3 mutants.
but even before then she was joining krakoa "for the children"
which is just a lie she tells herself, she wants nice things and wants to be in control. she sold out a seat for whatever mystique got her, either way it was for HER, her own personal gain. not putting the nation and all of your species ahead of your needs, regardless if xavier/magneto's lies were known yet or not
Since this issue was heavily focused on the Council, I also wonder if the next issue will focus primarily on the Krakoa captains (Bishop and Kwannon) since they were also advertised as untrusted wild cards. Interesting to see how this plays out.

Destiny is young and sexxxy! And I approve.
Mystique understands what the RPs are really all about.
My Summer rain. My rooftop in Japan. My quiet in the storm. *cries* Al Ewing is GOD...Praise His name! Uplift Him in song! Glorify His works!
So Egg-x and Magneto knew they could not trust Mystique but there were zero precautions against Mystique impersonating them and accessing Need-To-Know information. Also, is Hope's telepathy permanent now or does her copying range cover the entire island? She was copying telepathy and didn't seem to realize it's not from faux Egg-X and neither did she realize faux Egg-X had no telepathy.
