no. she's no angel, but neither was jean, and scott certainly isn't.
but emma does genuinely love scott. she treats him with love, respect, and at least in his eyes she's more accepting of his flaws than jean ever was...
it's amazing how you guys are tryng to defend Emma but i don't think you would do the same thing for another character...and prehaps you are right she loves scott i don't say she dosn't but that dosn't help the other ones she hurts
Oho, that is quite a bit of an assumption about someone you don't really know, isn't it?!
Btw., Emma may be one of my favourite comic book characters, but then she is just ONE of quite some, and if one of those others (f.e. Mystique, Nightcrawler, Beast, Apollo & Midnighter) would be reduced to something that's not doing them justice, i would try to explain them just as thoroughly as i do Emma now.
I'm still confused with your perception!
What we wrote was not just about her love for Scott, and we didn't write it to defend Emma, but to explain parts of her personality and behaviour to someone, who obviously doesn't know much about her and thus tends to simplify and reduce her to something she certainly is not.
I can only repeat myself:
Her own mini series explained that she had a very complicated childhood with maaany disappointments, hurt feelings and cruelty, so she finally developed a psychological armor (the seemingly heartless White Queen) to protect herself from further pain. It's nothing i or Raoul made up to defend her, it's her official story written in the comics!
Of course she hurt many people as the White Queen and also after that time she tends to be cynical and sardonic. Yet all of this time there was still that part of her, which really cared about her students and her teammates, tried to protect them and awfully grieved when some of them suffered or even died ... and she expressed that part on many occasions! There was always that part of her that honestly self-reflected and acknowledged her own personality-flaws and took measures to counteract them, that's why she brought Kitty into the team of the Astonishing X-Men (just one example). Again that's nothing any of us interpreted or simply invented because we like her, it's part of her explicitly stated history and expressed personality in the comics!
conclusion:
She is surely no angel, she never was, but she is much definitely not just a blond dumb heartless bimbo as you described her, and she is good for Scott on a personal level and for Cyclops as a comic book character. That's all we tried to make clear.

come on now, we all have our likes and dislikes... in the actual marvel world, the majority of people who know of emma think she's a right cow, the only people who don't are the people the closest to her (scott, hank, prof), so its natural that some people won't like her...
i hate gambit, but he and rogue seem like a good couple, so i'm not going to rain on someone elses parade...
Of course many people don't like her and with a personality like her's it's actually not surprising at all.
I wasn't referring to facts that would force anyone to like Emma, which would be a stupid intent, i was referring to facts that proove Emma is more than just a dumb blond heartless bimbo and that she is actually good for Scott so far! See the difference?!

Gender: Unspecified Location: IN YOUR MIND...MUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
This should help you formulate one, After the 12 thing Scott was kinda messed up in the head, Emma took advantage of this, but started falling for him, Jean kicks her mind-ass, she is shattered, Jean brings her back realizing that Emma is truly in love with Scott, Jean becomes Phoenix, dies, Scott never gets over her and leaves Emma and the Xmen as he never loved Emma, but Jean intervenes and now after telepathic coaxing he stays with Emma. Their relationship can be likened to a telepathic illusion based on Jean making Scott let her go in his heart, had she not there would be no Scott and Emma, only a Scott that can only stop loving Jean if she makes him do it telepathically.
