3-Minute Expert: Emma Frost
Dude... the shot you showed of Sentinels when you were talking about the attack on Genosha... that page was from Ultimate X-Men #1...
<------ That's John Byrne Bro!
" @Violet-Eyed Dragon: Think they brought Banshee back for a couple of issues before killing him off again. Kinda sucks. Especially considering Cypher stayed. Cypher?!? "i think we can agree that necrosha was one of marvel's worst ever ideas.

We've had X-men V's Zombies. Hope you're lookin' forward to X-men V's Vampires.
I'm out. Killin' a popular high profile character just to up the ante of a story when every one know's they're not gonna stay dead is weak.

" @Gylan Thomas: one can only hope lol actually, i think craig kyle is more to blame for this one. "I d'know. The big boss has to take it on the nose. It all stops at Joey's desk. He ok's it all.
I sort of understand OMD my self. I get why they did it.
and yeah you are right. he could have said "no do something better" but instead he went "it will sell more books" and you know what: it worked. i bought a few x-force books just to see what it was about.
" Despite my initial misgivings about Emma, she's really grown on me. I didn't even know she had her own origin series until this video. Is that worth picking up or should I pass and just be happy without her origin story? "It depends. I found it to be quite interesting, but it is not your typical filled-with-action-super-hero story. It's more of a teen drama actually. Makes some of her mistakes more understandable, though, so if you like her a lot this is worth your money.
I hope there will be another Batman: the brave and the bold trailer. I was kind of let down by the Star Wars: the Clone Wars season finally.
" I thought this was a really good video, I like that they didn't just start her continuity from the Dark Phoenix saga they told people about her origin story as well. "he seems to be doing that with all the expert videos, telling the story in the order it happened as opposed to the order it was published. i reallyyyy like it.
" @courtney12490: Yeah, me too. What i meant though was some people dont even acknowledge her solo series as cannon, thats what i liked "i always assumed that it was canon, much like the year one series from dc
" @uncanny89: @courtney12490: And now that it's in video form, everyone has to accept it as fact!i'm fine with that! keep up the great job on the 3 minute expert videos!!!
i personally started to love Emma Frost during the Phalanx Covenant (Uncanny X-Men #316) which eventually led to her being co-leader of Generation-X... Joe Madureira did excellent work on drawing the former White Queen (wearing green tights?) in that issue ^_^
Man it would be hard having her as a teacher, with her walking around in basically white lingerie...*ahem*, but anyways I like that costume Scott has better than his other blue and yellow one. Lucky fella, he had Jean and NOW Emma??? Good lord. I haven't been up on my xmen lately. I collected a solid amount of the Uncanny Xmen back in like the early part of 2000, so I mean is Jean really dead? Is it cannon if she is?
" Most of that I actually didn't know. Brings a tear to my eye to be reminded of the worlds ginger hatred though. Jean and Banshee remain two of the few dead characters to stay dead :( "Hahahahahahaha!!!!! Good one about Jean! Hey, she hasn't been resurrected in a while. X-writers stop sitting on your butts and bring her back for another go!
i was a big fan of all the X-books when i was young, stopped reading comics for i guess about 7 years, and when i came back Cyclops was shacked up with her, and Jean not even buried yet!! and it's not the first time he's done something like that (Madelyne Pryor)--so i suppose i ought to be angry at him, but what could he do with a woman like that? it'll all end in tears though (if it hasn't already), she's bad news trust me!
Basically (in the nicest terms I can use to explain Emma) I think she's a b****y, manipulative, little strumpet . I dislike the personality of the character. She's a interesting character, just not one I like." @Ashra: Shoot for both. "
I disliked her more after the 3 minutes, because it just reminded of why I dislike her so.
Edit: Didn't mean to resurrect this old thread. I've just gotten around to watching the vid though.
