@Mercy_: I've been reading and re-reading over all of what ya'll have been engaging over. And between the two of you, I truly wish I was there in person to hear it audibly. That said - I probably disagree with ReVamp the more so. That said - I posted about this further along in this thread about the enduring qualities of Jean as embodied through the Phoenix Force. If there were a physical case to be made for the possibility of reanimation - several Marvel characters would probably be able to tap into those nebulous energies. Jean would be one.
More-over, I do not care for Emma - I fundamentally don't trust her. Scott's had his issues - but truthfully if you can't see the heroic flaws in the man then I have some Shakespearean literature I'd like to pass along to all of the Cyc haters on here. Anyone that's ever had several people truly love them - and then have to choose should be able to understand that there are often more losers than winners when it comes to love or other matters of the heart.
ReVamp's wrong though - Scott's decision needs to be exonerated by the light of day. And their relationship being based on reality ? Wow, now there's a meta-physical/existential discussion I'd love to hear. Again - that's not you. I do believe though that the interplay between one of the two most powerful females in comics (Marvel side) would make for high drama. (Sigh) At heart I have to believe that Scott would still go back to the woman whom he has risked everything for. If you've never read the old Dark Phoenix Saga and watch the two of them fight for Jean's life - watched as two young lovers twist against the wind, well, it's worth a read.
Short of commenting further on Emma - and what type of woman she is, and her usefulness - I'll be a gentleman about it. That said - Jean was always a woman any man could desire. I like to think that Scott would do what I or any man would in the face of that choice. Indecencies aside, cavorting in telepathic trysts aside - I believe the man would still take Red.
Of all the post on her this is the one that I agree with most. Mind you I'm not a fan of Jean Grey, however, since her death I've noticed that Scott's morals have become morally-grey to say the least. Given the circumstances of his upbringing, loss of family, decreasing of species and the sort I don't fault him, though I do believe that I've realize Jean's role in Scott's life. I feel that she was a moral anchor for him((or "morality pet" as tropers may know it as)) and was very much the heart of the team. I just feel that writers may have not thought about taking that approach with her and just constantly pegged her as the integral part of the Scott-Jean-Logan love triangle.
I definitely feel that fans should let what Scott did go as it's just as asinine as Hank Pym striking Janet and is now blown completely out of proportion. Even considering the circumstances both in comic and from a writer's standpoint fans still want to black-list the character. What's in the past is in the past and with Scott having paid his dues fans are still angry with him over and seem as though they'll never give him a fair shot; I feel that something has got to give.
As far as Emma I lean more towards the positive, however, given her track record I understand any resentment and apprehension towards her. I do feel that she's proven herself over the course of the years,however, the whole love triangle with Namor just feels forced no matter how you slice it and it just sets up Emma for the same fate as Jean.
Should Jean return and Scott return to her then it should be handled gracefully rather than Scott hitting a straight b-line for her as that's just going to further dig Scott into a deeper hole. I'd want for Scott to stick with Emma so that at least it shows that the man possesses integrity. If he's to go back to Jean then fine but I just humbly ask that's not done in a cheap fashion.
