Cyclops gets such a rough deal man. imagine having brain damage that caused you to uncontrollably shoot laser blasts out of your eyeballs destroying everything in sight that you had to worry about literally 24/7 and also you had to supervise teenagers throwing cars at each other because your father figure and his ex are taking leftist infighting to the streets and also on top of that whenever you show any amount of concern over this situation people are like "jeez what a buzzkill. loosen up control freak. why can't you be all chill and cool like wolverine" meanwhile wolverine is having his amygdala forcibly removed by the us military for the third time this month

I have soooo many answers to the first. Actually, I have a massive bloated google doc where I keep ideas. But the real answer is that the timeline needs detangling from the very beginning. For just a highlight reels of changes; characters need whole, coherant arcs and a place and purpose in the story. They shouldn't be interchangeable or have their only function be based on their powers like a Pokemon team. I would divide the timeline into three major team eras: First Class (Jean, Scott, Bobby, Warren, and Hank), Second Class (Ororo, Logan, Piotr, Kurt, Kitty) and New Mutants (Dani, Rahne, Sam, Jubilee, Roberto). At the end of each "era" major character arcs can be wrapped up so that new ones can start with the new eras. Characters don't disappear once their arc is complete; they either start a new one or integrate as mentors/flat character arcs. The X-Men should function more as a family unit. They don't have to see eye to eye on everything 100% of the time, but I would cut out a lot of the melodramatic interpersonal Kardashian level drama and a TON of the infighting/infucking. In fact the only in-team relationships I'm allowing are Jean/Scott (my parents who raised me), Rogue/Gambit, Dani/Rahne and maybe Bobby/Warren (when its funny). Xavier stays a well meaning but fundamentally wrong and flawed character and this is addressed in a way that doesn't treat the audience as stupid. Jean is allowed to be the most powerful X-Man/mutant and isn't villified/fridged for it. Piotr isn't written as a pedophile. Kurt doesn't try to fuck his sister and is actually written as a guy who suffers due to his appearance instead of having women throw themselves at him (because I guess they don't count when he says people are afraid of him?) We're cutting the massive amounts of racism towards Romani people in both Kurt and the Maximoff twins' backstories. For Christ's sake. NO AVENGERS or any other Marvel properties touching the X-Men continuity. No not even Spiderman. Not even Miss Marvel. Over and above all remembering that YES its a superhero story but it's ALSO a story about marginalized groups aimed at children/young adults so maybe writing it with intent, putting aside the urge to be 'edgy' and 'subversive' unless it serves those themes, and LISTENING to marginalized groups about what representation should look like

As for Emma Frost the short answer is that post thats like "i can forgive any fictional sin but not being annoying"

The longer more complicated answer is that it pisses me off that fans/authors celebrate emma for the same reasons they vilify jean. And i know, i know, "don't pit two bad bitches" etc etc but they started it, by writing her into comics the way they did in the 70s. The original thesis of her character was "what if jean but meaner and sexier" (and, somehow, whiter) which they were already playing around with during the dark phoenix arc. But then in the 90's it became a huge trend to pit the "bad girl" stereotype against the "boring girl next door" and every suddenly every jizz-brained comic author thought they were reinventing the wheel by doing it and going "but wait...what if...emma was good actually?" and fans went wild over it, which is not only boring, but wildly hypocritical considering how characters like Jean or Rogue or Mystique are treated by cannon for being even slightly rude or making anything less than squeaky clean moral choices. Oh, and on that subject, she absolutely sexually assaulted Scott.
