I wish they would make Hope jump into another reality.

Interesting. In the split image from Second Coming that shows Hope as the Savior or Executioner of Mutantkind there is an image behind her of the Phoenix... and true, there is a tweet stating that Hope isn't Jean Grey... but has anyone considered that maybe Hope's maternal family may be related to the Grey's, or that Hope's biological mother might herself be a clone of Jean Grey?
Considering how devious Sinister is, and how Mad Prior never developed any potential until the Avatar's death at the end of Dark Phoenix Saga, maybe Hope is the blank slate that the Phoenix Force needs in order to truly live. Keep in mind that slivers of the Force abandoned all those that it inhabited in right up to the premiere of Hope in Second Coming.
Also the Vision of White Phoenix to Emma telling her to prepare is a clue; she may not physically be strong enough to hold the Phoenix Force but she does has the fortitude and skill to go toe to toe with a neophyte, true-born Phoenix (I'm not counting the Avatar) such as Rachel and still teach her how to belong in the world.
