Eva is way, Way, WAY MORE dangerous than Matthew ever was, and she fails to see it.
While he caused visible collateral damage and killed people, everyone could see what that damage was and he was afraid of his powers. Eva isn't and she's too headstrong about it. There's NO WAY to know the types of fucked up chaos that she's causing with what she's doing. Case in point - it looks like she's managed to completely erase Xavier & Mystique's relationship, and thereby Raze & Xavier II from existence at the same time (with the offhanded comment about nothing about that being in Charles' last will & testament).
Which is fucking weird and broken because if that happened, there's whole other arcs that wouldn't have happened either all of the Uncanny team, and other things that might be totally fucked now.
This doesn't even get to the point about the fact that Raze & Xavier were time traveling into the past and using a cascading timeline to be able to avoid their mistakes by learning about them. Buuuut Eva's time travel is all a single connected loop where she just shows up and whatever she's done has irrevocably fucked everything up and disappeared it out of time and is completely unable to be recovered - like her family from 2099.
What grinds my gears exceptionally hard is that she didn't at least go LOOK at what actually happened and just makes assumptions to judge Cyclops like a narrow-minded little cunt for no reason. Apparently her & Xavier could find Matthew's parents somewhere in the middle of a city at the EXACT moment they met, so they could've just gone to any point in space/time to have seen what really happened and stopped the goddamn helicarrier from blowing the three of them away at all. If it went south from there, you have Xavier and Scott face-to-face to figure out the problem FOR REAL to deal with Matthew (since, according to her - Charles was the only person who could control him - more an that later) and not this ridiculous horseshit so-called-solution.
Also, as far as saving the rest of them, it's (unsurprisingly) Storm's fault for exacerbating the situation with Matthew to the point that anyone else died, so *shrugs* Eva technically did stop a shitstorm from happening, but it's total bullshit from a narrative perspective for the above-mentioned reasons.
Another point that a reblog of that mentioned was this:
The thing that really gets me, is that she says that “Only Charles Xavier could control him!” and she’s pissed Scott then proceeded to fail, and she is “going to keep an eye on him!”
To make sure he doesn’t…what, exactly? Not be Charles Xavier some more?
Everything I mentioned above any yeah.
FFS.
