This is triggering so many good emotions for me.
I’m gonna miss teen jean. How cool is it that a younger version of oneself gets to hand the baton off to the older version of themselves. Such a cool concept.
It’s sad that she (and the others) May have to go back with wiped minds but at least she got to be a placeholder for her dead adult self in saving the world and the galaxy on numerous occasions. Now her adult self can have that role back. I just find that so cool.
Your favorite superhero- the one you visit these forums to talk about. Would they talk to others the way you do on this message board?
Even though I hate the retcon, I’m not mad at this. They act like “maybe” it happened and not that it is the definitive explanation. Claremont always hinted there was more to the story (of course in Classic he describes that there was). Even Rosenberg in Resurrection had Jean wondering whether it wasn’t really her, sorta was her, or really was just her.
Plus here they draw parallels between whatever happened on the shuttle and with the cocoon with Teen Jean reconstituting herself after being killed by the Poisons. They affirm that Teen Jean is real and Adult Jean is real and Jean remembers what happened in Generations. Of course then they act like they don’t know how adult Jean remembers and offers several possible explanations.
It is interesting that Adult Teen Jean takes on the Phoenix codename and pink raptor effect.
Teen Jean has died and resurrected twice now. She certainly deserves the Phoenix moniker. Also due to Teen Jean and Time Travel, Jean has definitely been connected to the Phoenix before the Uncanny 101 event (even if we ignore her Classic 42 preteen manifestation).
The conversation they are having about Jean's memory is silly. Jean gained the memories of the Phoenix when Maddie died, it's not the kind of thing she would be likely to forget.
LOL...Jean looks like her mother. The hair and clothes really make her look more like a "mom"
Definitely looks like fun. I hope the other O5 members also get some good time in the present to talk with their counterparts as well as some spotlight time in the alternate future.

I consider the Phoenix in Jean Grey to be on a break from each other right now but eventually Marvel will find a reason for Jean Grey to reclaim the Phoenix Force. It might be a year from now it might be 5 but it'll happen lol
