She’s also i think a really interesting charachter. Morally grey in an interesting way. Love her genuine love for her students. Love her dynamic with Kitty. Lots of good charachter stuff with her.
True for most of them but ive commented before that Scott, in the overall sense, sort of accidentally has a really good charachter arc. Like to a weird extent with so many different writers. From idealist boyscott who believed in Xaviers vision to based mutant terrorist, because his experiances changed him.
Examining him on his own hell yeah, maybe I just let the framing by the authors hard pushing “Scott did everything wrong” for years get to me instead of enjoying based mutant terrorist Scott contrary to what the comic author may intend.
I’m aware, the X-Men have just been my favorite since I was a child and damn have the writers flip flopped on what they should embody ideologically. It’s egregious for me since they are ostensibly representative of minority (gender, ethnic, sexual, etc.) struggles and are often so close to having great messages and politics only for the next iteration to lib it up again 😔
What were they thinking?!
Emma Frost had cool powers, too bad her design is always just

Also true - she’s just been inconsistent at times, which is of course consistent with any X-Men character

*any comic character
Most of these characters are at least 40 years old and have had dozens of writers.

I personally really like the “one mutant sepratist nation” thing they had going on last i checked in though.
