Singular difference I noticed is several other characters are being presented as featured players opposed to wallpaper, which consistently happened during Scott's tenure, other than Emma, Logan, Erik, and whatever kid sidekick whichever particular writer fancied at the time. Everyone else were peripheral figures, don't know what will happen but at least we have a selection of characters that feel, like the Xmen.
In ways that are hopefully progressive and steeped in good storytelling for everyone, not just Jean or characters connected specifically to her.
Seemed like Kurt's feelings were completely genuine even if Guggs did little to nothing to develop them across her repeated comas, and him being impaled. Though an argument could be made for Rachel's feelings being influenced, although being fair to the writer he did present her feelings as straightforward in regards to Kurt.
Also, it's a 100% chance it's Logan, who else I doubt she's being put into anything long-term at least not at the present. Most likely it's their reunion, feelings get a bit oversized, Logan in thirst fashion kisses her. Or knowing Marvel, the sheer visual of Logan is enough for her to kiss him.
