Right so a member of the Avengers and Queen of an African Nation, two supervillains and corpse are the best you can come up with. Riiiight.
Cyclops did have his time of doubt. There was a whole issue about it. He moved past it. Hell, you can make the case now that his enhanced emotions are making him too certain about himself.
But as been said before: Haters gotta hate.
Which is why the Iron Fist, Danny Rand, is the one training Hope.
It's not like they trusted her training to a guy with severe neuroses who would do something ill advised with massive, reality altering power like re-write history for the sake of giving some old bird a few more years. Especially if said guy had never stepped foot in K'un Lung and doesn't know the first thing about K'un Lung training.
They might not care that Emma died, but again, a lot of them would show up out of respect for some of the other X-men who do care that Emma died. I think Tony would show up. They acted as though they wouldn't be friends again in the opening act-- and you can take that literally, or you can just see it as hyperbole. And I think we can find other examples that are at least plausible. Spider-man had a few team-ups with Emma. He may swing by, and some others might join him.
While this might make sense story wise, does Marvel really want to kill off one of the few black male characters of prominence in the MU. I mean hell they already sacrificed Bishop figuratively at the altar of Hope and to now sacrifice BP literally in the service of this crappy event will probably result in a black lash. I could say Kanye West at the next telethon saying "Marvel don't care bout black people."
It's hard for me to listen to people not in my position. A caterpillar can't relate to what an eagle envisions.
Well, I don't think they'd be ending Black Panther. When I say kill him, I mean "his body dies and he enters some spirit realm" kinda deal, where he still plays a big roll in the MU. I think people will see this in AvX and say "what's all this spirit realm/ Wakandan mysticism about?"
I think Emma is one of Marvel's number one characters, and one of their number one female characters. I wouldn't be surprised if she died, but Marvel has also been talking "oh we want to write more books with strong female leads" and such. Who knows.
