Don't move the Queen too early.

If you move your queen early you will lose your queen. Even if you are trying to aim at f2/f7 unless it is the Scandinavian because in that opening you move your queen to safety

A couple of active queen lines in the Scandinavian is fairly forcing so black gets a familiar and playable game.

Can we stop the fight now

Just saying in some lines, the queen goes to an active square and perhaps one can learn to play actively because its the best move or game plan.

The queen can support multiple pawns/pieces, hits multiple squares, clears a square for the rook which is one step closer to opposite castling and in other strategies like the Grand Prix, the queen flips the script to dark square strategy.

Poison pawn variations is the other idea the comes to mind in the London, French and Sicilian.

The queen can move early in f4/f5 openings like in fools mate

but scholar's mate will be a unexpected checkmate for beginners

Every time I see a early queen attack, I say ' oh, that's a win for me'

Hmm, in the Scandinavian (or Centre Counter), the Black Queen comes out early, but it's not a problem. Apart from that, in most situations it doesn't fare well. The "Wayward Queen Attack" (1. e4. e5 2. Q. h5 ...), played by the Nelson-bot almost exclusively, is not good. White's Queen gets beat around, and Black just comes out better off.
There is the "Centre Game", where White brings out their Queen early, but not in a "Wayward Queen Attack" way, but rather after 1. e4 e5 2. d4 ed 3. qxd4 ... , and White's Queen get attacked as Black develops their Queen Knight, so White loses time, and so White has now forfeited the benefit of having the first move. Doesn't mean you can't catch someone unawares (here's a game I played OTB casually with a friend when we had a weekly match at the pub; but we also used to just try and play something random against each other, so no, don't try this at home! happy.png )

The "Wayward Queen" is not good for White. The Centre Game (as per above) is also not good for White, despite my win - I never risked it against him again, which goes to show that as a surprise, it might work, but fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me!
Oddly, the Scandi is a decent, if unambitious, defence. I suppose, in a way, Black has "less to lose" because they don't start with the move in hand, so White loses their starting advantage when they bring their Queen out in these haymaker attacks, while Black, in a way, has nothing to lose; or at least less to lose maybe?
Either way, unless you're playing the Scandinavian Defence (also called the "Centre Counter", particularly in older books), just don't do it. And if you're going to play the Scandi, then make sure you know what you're doing, every step of the way.
