hellyeahteensuperheroes: Uncanny X-Men #19 a.k.a. Further Character Assassination of Emma Frost, this time by Coward Matthew Rosenberg.Okay, I assume someone got the wind of how fucking homophobic the potrayal of Anole was in Disassembled so now they’re trying to retcon it to him being mind controlled. Well, first of all, too little, too late considering Ed Brisson did further character assassination on him and second…what, I’m supposed to be impressed? That you decided to once again blame everything bad on the same person you blamed everything bad in the last several stories in a row? Think about it, ever since IvX basically every single shitty take on X-Men turns out to be one way or another, Emma’s fault. At this point I consider she should be killed. Not because I think she deserves it, don’t get me wrong. But because as long as she is around, Marvel will just use her as a convenient scapegoat for their own shitty writing in one way or another. And as long as they have that scapegoat, that exit plan…well, they don’t need to care enough to actually write good, right? Why put an EFFORT into your stories, just blame the shit on Emma! She is a classic character so she is guaranteed to be back but maybe that would happen under editorial that does actually give a damn?I’m joking, mostly. The thing is, I’m calling this a cop-out and a lazy one and the entire issue is such cop-out on so many levels, trying to say various crap that happens is fault of Emma or that government asshole number 9385023950235 forcing her had. Never mind this also results in such stupid and out of character shit like Emma just casually sending Marauders (you know, people who had THE Mutant Massacre on their account) to hunt down Blindfold, one of her own students (you know, people she is traumatized from seeing dying in the past), or that Elixir can only….politely object to have one of his friends hunted or that Emma is just being government asshole’s lapdog and pulling a dumb facade to convince herself she is playing her game to get back at him. All of this is a construction so flimsy and pathetic, barely put together in any coherent way that I’m left feeling sorry only for Leah Williams, since all the much better writing she did in a single one-shot has been put to waste so that some edgelord can cover up antoher, homophobic, edgelord’s shit with his own shit.- Admin -- source link
