I'm really really excited to see that Mockingbird has made her way into Agents of Shield. Having talked about Bobbi having her own television show, it's nice to see that they haven't totally written her off in the MCU! That being said, I really hope she isn't just another agent with a gun that helps them out - she better have the proper background, and yes I mean a biologist, would love to see her and Jemma butt heads (especially since I think they should have had Bobbi as the original biologist of the group) - and she better use her trusty battle staves instead of a gun.
As for her acting skills, I think she's a pretty good actress, and can't wait to see her in season two! Lets hope they make her a regular and we can get her into the movies to shack her with Hawkeye! ;P
Emma is a teacher to boot. As much as I enjoy Psylocke and Rachel, Emma knows what it is to be a teacher, she ran a school, she trained GenX she had both incarnations of the Hellions, and she's the most skilled telepath, no not necessarily the strongest, but she definitely is the most skilled at what she does, so I think her training Jean makes sense.
@squares: But it was... The only reason that the school was attacked by the purifiers during this period was because mutants were at the brisk of extinction and were weak, due to the Scarlet Witch's power - if she hadn't casted her "No More Mutants" nonsense then the Purifiers and Stryker wouldn't have attacked the school, wouldn't have killed Icarus and Laurie and wouldn't have attempted to kill Dust and the rest of the New X-Men.
@koays: Totally agreed, but the fact of the matter is, it was the writing that K/Y created and the characters - the WaTX cast just doesn't have that - and I fear they never will! I just want to see my NXM back on the pages of the X-Books... Too many great opportunities to be wasted on empty plots.
I don't know WaTX just doesn't have a strong pull - I could careless about these students that are written in this book. When characters like Icarus, Wallflower, heck even Tag died it was heartbreaking and I felt like I lost a genuine character that I began to care for. Even though WaTX students have been with us for quite some time now if any of them died I don't think I would care to be honest. Most of them are written poorly, and none of them are deep characters that I for one, could care for.
