you completely took what i said out of context. I said that if writers need a character to write some BS fun dialog is because they lack skills.
everyone want spotlight but no one likes to suffer right? the problem is when suffering never comes with a good thing to compensate

Good one. Somebody made this Emma/Jean/Scott version of that meme a while ago:

Jean is in her green skirt and oversized yellow mask because mutants are just extra? Ok I dig.
"I wish I could live life five times over!
Then I’d be born in five different places,
and I’d stuff myself with different food from around the world.
I’d live five different lives with five different occupations...
and then, for those five times...
I’d fall in love with the same person..."

I think a lot of this is people buying hype.
1) I'm not a hardcore X-Men fan. I'm a Polaris fan that Marvel has failed to convert into an X-Men fan over the past 10 years that they could've done so. Keep that in mind when you see my posts vs the posts of others.
2) If I'm being honest, right now I'm prepared for the likelihood that I'll never read another X-Men book. But the reality is, things can change in ways I can't entirely predict.
I can make a pretty good guess at what I can expect from Hickman - and more importantly, the people around and above him. There's no reason for me to read any of what's coming. None of this is going to meaningfully add to my fandom. None of this makes me want to run out to my nearest LCS to read it, four years after I stopped going. If anything, I expect to see Marvel fanboying over horrible past writing and trying to pretend it was somehow good. It's what comes after Hickman that I don't know and can't guess at, which is why I'm more interested in what happens when Hickman's gone. The potential of the future is better than the reality of the present.

I could end every Emma vs Jean forum war singlehandedly if any of these damn charts and chalkboards full of equations actually gave me a conclusive answer about which of the two is thiccer. Wait, Hickman's pretty smart! Maybe he'll figure it out in his run! Is the answer Po10's most important moment in X-Men history?!
I don't blind date I make the direct market vibrate
I'm hoping Hickman's fondness of Generation X will translate into him resurrecting Skin, Synch, and Chamber and also fixing zombie-like Banshee. What happened to half of the team is just sad.
