@mrnihal: yeah sure
We need a bunch of you to get a jean book above 50K.
@gladeusex: Lol. We both are two wordy in our explanation. I just happened to be at my computer when it happened, so you got the scans treatment, lol.
•In your opinion maybe. I tend to think we don’t have enough child mutants. Then again, Gabby May count as a mutate??? What do clones count as?
•Not really. If they took up most of the X-book, I’d see what you mean, but no, they at best are a cameo of this issue. (And possibly next issue if it continues to focus on the Avengers as guest stars) Its not the first time the Avengers have been in X-Men books. In fact, they have shared crossovers for as far back as anyone can remember. The “Bloodties arc” is the first that comes to mind.
•Saying That is basically like say, “You are incapable as a human being if you need to ask for help”. That simply isn’t the case in real life and it isn’t the case in fiction. Different circumstances require different methods. Jean could have handled a lot of the things on her own, but to what end? If she really wants to accomplish what she needs done in the best possible way, then she needs to ask for help and let others carry the weight. Otherwise, there is no point of having a team to begin with.
•I didn’t turn your thing into an absolute, it was my answer that was absolute. Where you say there is barely an impact, I say there was a total impact.
•Yes, Jean did have a team who all contributed something. (With exception of Gambit. Not sure why he is there exactly)
•Jean was busy looking for the person responsible for all the havoc, which is where Cassie reveals herself and unleashes teen Abomination. If Jean were on that mission, she’d need to replicate the telekinetic surgery thing she did to Storm, which would at the very least require Black Panther again, if not Trinary as well.
•I would like to see how Scott would handle Jeans method and see how far he goes without declaring all out war in Issue one. Seriously, Jeans method is leagues more difficult than Scott. Where Scott made calls on the fly in effort to preserve things, Jean looked at the bigger picture and planned accordingly.
If Scott were in Jeans position, he would’ve struck down those men and women in India. He would’ve struck down Storm. Maybe he would have tried to seek a better way, but as you keep pointing out, he makes those ‘tough calls’. Jean doesn’t make tough calls, she forged a different path. And it’s far from easy to resist the temp station of facing her for head on without painting herself as the bad guy. Why else do you think Scott is seeing as Magneto 2.0? What Jean is doing has been what the X-Men were supposed to be about to begin with. They are the mediators, the peacekeepers. Not trained soldiers. Not executioners. Not judges.
•Everyone does monologuing. It’s just that when everyone else does it, they’ve had about enough. When Jean (And old Charles Xavier back in the older X-Men days) do it, they spread a message of peace. That’s why they have those Martin Luther King Jr. vs Malcolm X comparisons.
•You noticed? Cause online reviewers caught it as well. According to them, Jean does it better. I tend to agree.
•Look at the scan again and tell me Nova wasn’t about to kill Rachel. I’ll wait.
•You just said Hulkling. Anything with the name Hulk in it is automatically a problem.
•Considering the teams most powerful member was busy incapacitating a group of Sentinite controlled people, I’d say it was a big problem. Luckily for Gabby, Nightcrawler, and Laura (Yes, that was everyone) Trinary was around to make it docile.
•No. It was one gun men and her possi of sentinite mob goers. Either way, Jean nearly got shot at because she was caught off-Guard by her telepathy not working.
•We were talking about the dangers Jean was facing. If your read the issue again, Jean clearly says there being overwhelmed. Given that there are more hounds than what was depicted in the scan I posted and the fact that Jeans own team were becoming hounds (I.e. Gabby And Trinary), Jean soloing a bunch wasn’t making that much of an impact beyond holding them off. I may also remind oh that Rachel was in the group of hounds, so if the battle were to continue, Jean would’ve had to face her eventually and Jean already acknowledged in Red that Rachel could damage her, so add the fact that Old Man Logan is on the team with a large group of other hounds, even Jean would’ve eventually been overrun unless she used lethal methods, which we know she wouldn’t do without a Last last last resort.
•Jean is a telepath. Jean doesn’t always mean to, but she does read stray thoughts and she the Annual also shows that she keeps an eye on her friends and others through the minds of others for safety reasons. It’s not farfetched that the telepath would eventually run in to the info on Wolverines daughter.
•You May not have mentioned competency, but the issue you brought up would’ve led to questions in regards Jeans competency. That’s where the convo was leading.
•Too many on a team is something I can’t argue with because I agree. I don’t have a problem with it and I do think Tom did his best, but I agree nonetheless. I think Marvel and Tom anticipated a longer run, but then Marvel changed directions and shortened Tom’s run. So Tom wasnt able to give everyone the necessary screen time they deserved.
•I think your wording is a wrong way of putting it. All of Jeans decisions were difficult, which is why I sarcastically referred to the other way as the “hard calls”. Hard calls aren’t always complex. Sometimes they are the simplest answer which is what this all comes down to. These situations are simple, uncomplex. It’s still hard for Jean to come to her goal. She still has to fight tooth and nail in the most peaceful way while vouching for mutants as an outcast. A simple premise. You wanted complexity. That’s where this series falls short. It’s the simple: Hero vs Villian conflict. There is a clear target. There is an audience whom the hero and villain are persuading. Contrast that to a situation where Scott is in some respects fighting others who make good points. Cassandra never made any good points. Her motives were always purely sinister. So, Tom accomplishes his goal in the best way. You had a different expectation and didn’t get the result you craved. Even still, Simple doesn’t mean easy.
•A conclusion Jean never would’ve came to without being the person she is or having the friends she has. If Jean simply went out there to face Cassandra’s fleets, how would it have made her look? To go out to war and do the very thing she preached against when talking to the UN? To fight other humans? Jean still went out to war in the end, sort of, but she got the right people to support her, showing that she isn’t the villain to the world. The stakes were high, but Jean found a simple way to resolve it.
Again, it’s this line of thinking why people always say Schism would never have happened had Jean been alive at the time. (I don’t necessarily agree, but I see why they think that nonetheless)
•She was given tough choices. She simply made ‘answer E’ In an ABCD multple choice question. It’s:
What life do you want to lead as a mutant?
A. Join the mutants
B. Hide
C. Register per the Mutant Registration Act
D. Be killed or detained
Jean would be like Charles and say,
E. Be a peaceful mediator and example to both sides.
•Agree with the two many characters rebuttal.
•This where I say, “There is a time and place for everything”. If you want to analyze a character who is normally reserved or saying “everything’s fine” than yes, look deeply into who they are to see if what they say is true. (Like how someone with depression is or like how someone who works too much is?) If you are analyzing why they do it and they tell you straight why they do it, then there is no reason to look any deeper unless they are normally untrustworthy. Since this is Jean we are talking about, here is no reason to ask why she would do what she does if the action makes perfect sense to begin with.
I omitted the speeches because you already know about them. You weren’t paying attention to the other facets of Jeans personality throughout the run, so I focused on that. Why push in front of you what you already noticed to begin with? Why show you a scan of Jean angry at the hotdog when you clearly missed her commanding Trinary not to harm Storm. Why show you a speech when you tried to wave off Jeans feelings regarding being in hiding on Wakanda as a result of the UN conference crime scene.
•And Jean is a sacred cow. The End.
@pyrofn: Oh boi, now I need three windows open to properly address this.
@pyrofn please use the side-by-side format for scans if you're going to give so many. I enjoyed the content of your post but the big ass pictures make for a terrible experience
I always liked the What If? with the world where Jean fell for Logan, and as a result The Dark Phoenix was unstoppable and destroyed everything. It sort of typified what made Jean and Scott such a dynamic couple; Jean was the strong, outspoken one, while Scott was the firm but withdrawn one. They were opposites, while Jean and Logan were a lot more similar. Jean and Logan had raw attraction, but he was bad for her on a deeper level.
Telepaths always seem drawn to Scott because, although he has that cold exterior, he feels and cares very deeply inside, something which only telepaths tend to see. Wolverine is a lot more raw, and lacks restraint, and for Jean restraint is and was everything. I don't doubt that Jean was drawn to the wild temptation that was Logan, but Scott was her rock. I'd imagine that an added bonus was that, as a man with a very tough mind, he was someone who wouldn't overwhelm her and with whom she could feel at peace.
Jean definitely cared for Logan, but I don't know that she's ever loved him fully. And if she has, it has never been in the way she loved Scott.
(And I hope they don't change that now that all three are or are coming back--Wolverine is near the top of the list of characters I've hated since Avengers vs. X-Men, and I would outright give up on the comics as a whole if they did that.)
@marvelfan1992: Fine.

You missed something there?
@njchrispatrick: Scott isn't coming back though?
Yeah, and I want Jean's "Scott" scream before her death in Dark Phoenix Saga to be retconned into being the result of Charles' meddling. She was actually screaming CHAAAAAARLES.

Whoops, my bad. Thanks for that. Characters I've hated.
@marvelfan1992: I mean everyone knows he will, though. Not just because this is X-Men and no one stays dead, but because I know Marvel writers can't resist the drama of having those three all alive together again. It is only a question of how and in what form.
If Scott comes back and is all repentant and such I will be so annoyed because him becoming what he did was the best and most fluid character development in any comic I have ever read.

You speak the truth.It's sad that hardly people see that.

For all the problems many people had with it, I will always love how House of M influenced the writers of X-Men. It spawned some of the best character arcs--Xavier losing his powers and having to travel the path of redemption and acceptance, Scott being forced to step up as a leader and make the hard choices even though people hated him for it, not to mention them smoothly sidestepping the Xavier/Magneto debate with that "the future walked around us" comment.
Though, the one that never made sense to me was Wolverine's, with the whole Schism thing. Like, I got what they were trying to do, and playing on the old rivalry helped, but it made way less sense for Logan to become anti-child-soldiers than, say, Storm or Beast.

Storm would've made for sense since she already had problems with Scott's X-force.

Exactly. And, as a person, it would have made more sense. Logan as a leader I can sort of see, that was kind of a building theme over a long period of time. But still very much the anti-hero of the X-Men. I mean there are a ton of issues, many of them not long before Schism, with him advocating for the younger ones learning to fight. Armor especially, I recall.
I didn't totally get it, but it sort of worked. AvX just plain ruined his character though. Storm, Beast, and Logan all ended up as super hypocritical because the writers were trying way too hard to make Scott actually look like a villain.
@theinsufferable: Make it so that Jean was yelling out her murderer in the Saga, for it was Xavier who activated the gun!!!!
DUN DUN DUUUUUUUNNNNN!!!!!
@iamre321: I’m honestly with you. If marvel ever puts out a team up series between Emma and Jean, I’d buy every comic like 100 times
Lol same, they need to either go with my X-men White idea or do a Emma and Jean team up comic... I'd be soo popular.
@ashetdust: She is without the phoenix force this time so no DF. She is Au Natural and kickin ass already!
in case it wasn't blatantly obvious to everyone already (hence the thread...I suppose), Rosenberg says Jean loves Scott more in a Q&A video thing
Aren't there already like a hundred of these polls!?
This has been trend now.
in case it wasn't blatantly obvious to everyone already (hence the thread...I suppose), Rosenberg says Jean loves Scott more in a Q&A video thing
So now we need writer's words to ensure that?
@mrnihal: apparently lmao
@mrnihal: apparently lmao
Jott fans are lucky he still didn't say logan.
@mrnihal: “The other way around?”
As in like Wolverine is Jeans love? Or that Jean is Scott’s love?
The first is up in the air. It’s never been fully explored in continuity and alternate universes can’t be trusted because there are situations where it works out and where it doesn’t.
The second is true. @hopesummersforthefuture will be more than happy to keep pointing out why Scott would choose Jean over Emma.
Jean and Wolverine knew each other before she got married to Scott .
What's that have to do with anything?

See??!It's logan & jean fans are trying to a upper ground.Not gonna happen in next ten years.And yeah those kisses never mean anything to jean. @elpendejo
Try hard next time P-Y-R-O-F-N.
@mrnihal: Is that your way of trying to prove Scott did nothing wrong? Even if Jean was written to do the exact same things Scott did, Scott still wouldn’t have been getting a pass. Jean simply would’ve been as wrong as he was.
This is where we use the “two wrongs don’t make a right”.
Back to what I was saying, I said “It’s up in the air”. That means I don’t know. No one really knows.

No.Scott has much to blame for.Things like "confide in logan","that kiss means nothing to her(@elpendejo)","still chose scott" are your ways to make a point that jean has always been a saint in her marriage/relationship.

No. Scott has much to blame for.
Yes, he did, and he did nothing about it. It's no excuse for Jean to do it, but it's Scott's responsibility to say hey "Jean, what the hell! You cheated on me with Logan?!". Not to mention that Scott didn't even mention Logan as a reason for his cheating on Jean, so if that was a problem, he sure didn't bring up with Jean about it, or Emma for that matter, who he has no reason to hide from.
Things like "confide in logan",
Well, pardon me then! Excuse Jean Grey for going to a trusted friend about her troubles. Shame on Jean for choosing to not carry a burden weighing on her mind. I had no idea it counted as cheating to talk to a trusted friend about your troubles. That slut!
Stop being ridiculous.
"that kiss means nothing to her(@elpendejo)",
Don't spit what other people said at me. I already acknowledged what Jean did as wrong. I don't know what that kiss meant for Jean, but it sure as hell changed nothing.
"still chose scott" are your ways to make a point that jean has always been a saint in her marriage/relationship.
Wrong. They are my way of saying that Scott gave up on the relationship. I never glorified what Jean did as right, nor did I deny that she was a flawed individual. In fact, I have gone on rants about people who see Jean as a Mary Sue when in reality, she is no different from any normal person with imperfections and mistakes.
But hey, kudos to you for making your point about Scott. Scott did nothing wrong. He is such a pure, chaste individual. Yes, by pointing out how flawed Jean Grey is and on how she has done wrong before, you clearly shown just how much of holy man the perfect, infallible Scott Summers is.
@pyrofn: just so you know, I’m on your side in all this
@elpendejo: Thanks.
1.Because Scott has been the better partner about it.He thought it'll go way but it never did.
2.Back to square one.Sure your "trusted friend" about your marriage problem will be the guy who's trying to break your relationship for years.I wonder in"real world" people do that as you so often love to use that scenerio. Not to mention jean had the advance towards him.
3.I guess tagging other is wrong.And sure it didn't change anything.It has been the same since logan joined.
4.And this is my way of saying jean also gave up her "relationship" but it was slow process unlike for Scott which happened in morrison's run, for jean it's a long way coming.And what Scott did was not right also.
5.As previously said in this post and my previous post "Scott has much to be blamed for".Ranting about which aren't told will not give about bonus point.lol.But geez looks like i got on your nerver.
@elpendejo: What a surprising twist,no body saw it coming.I wonder now why i tagged you in the first place.
Whatever,i guess this will be my last post to you guys about this matter.Most Scott fans ignore your full on trash talk about Scott through out the X-boards.I'll be joining them too.
@mrnihal: Can you just block me already
@mrnihal: 1) Right because that is how relationships get saved. “Because you kept quiet Scott, I totally stopped falling for Logan”. Communication saves relationships or you from any unnecessary heartbreak. Not keeping it to yourself to stew in because you’re trying to be a good husband to a bad wife.
2) Except Wolverine hasn’t been trying to break up Scott and Jean for years. I don’t know where you got that from, but Logan has not been trying to break up Scott and Jean after they married. The times before, yeah, He has. He stopped after Scott and Jeans wedding, even actually saving it from being crashed.
3) Jean didn’t make any advances. She talked about her problems to a trusted friend. A friend who has not only had her back, but has actually saved her life before. Talking to a friend is not an invitation believe it or not, no matter what your romantic history is.
4) Yup. And quite frankly, it isn’t easy to keep rejecting the same guy who won’t stop flirting with you, especially if you’re attracted to him. (And again, luckily, Logan did stop) Scott didn’t do much better in regards to women either, I just want to point out, with Psylocke and Emma as the most notable examples. Where Jean went years of rejecting Logan, Scott would only last a short time before Jean would step in to try to get the women to back off.
5) Wrong. Jean didn’t give up on the relationship. That’s why I keep saying “Scott chose Emma, Jean chose Scott”. Jean never stopped trying to make her marriage work. Logan couldn’t get her to change her mind, neither could Psylocke, and neither could Emma. Only Scott could. There was no slow burn, Jean was not planning an ultimate break up that would last years. Jean was fully invested in Cyclops.
6) Actually, your exact words were “Scott has much to blame for”, forgetting to put in “be” and the “ed” at the end of “blame”. As a result, I took it as “Scott has much to blame Jean for”.
Yeah, you kind of did got on my nerve. The thing that hit the nerve was the “saint Jean” thing. If it is one thing I don’t do, it’s glorify Jean when she is wrong.
