Agreed. All the criticisms of the lack of Jean and Hickman's take on her and 6 issues in and he's proven nothing to dissuade those concerns. I hate to say it but at least Rosenberg's Jean had a personality. I REALLY hope its revealed that Xavier is brainwashing her bc this meh Jean aint cutting it
my thoughts exactly. I liked that she was taking charge and now Scotts back and shes barely more than wallpaper? Not buying it. At this point they should at least be co-leading...costume sucks too, but the only reason I can see them putting her in that again is because Xaviers involved somehow like you said. Otherwise i guess theyre throwing one of the actually decent examples of character development from the past few years of mess
Scott is acting like Xavier's b*tch too, relegated to teachers pet and lackey. The grass ain't greener on the other side.

Also houndsofluv, how is that Cyclops fault? Everybody is acting second fiddle to Xavier/Magneto/Moira, everybody, including Cyclops.

Oh i dont think its Scotts faut at all, i actually agree on that one. I just think it's too bad that Now that Hes back shes being written as less of a leader cuz i liked her that way, it felt deserved and made sense. Whereas it makes less sense imo that she would just become a follower now...more a fault of the writing than Scotts character but it's true its happening to everyone
I think Jean is going to come out ok, I think that all of them are being mind controlled and possibly have been pod people for the entire run. I think even Emma and the Cuckoos are in pods and under Xavier/Magneto's control.
Once we get out of the end of this event I think they all free themselves from Xavier and Magneto. X-Force indicated Jean is an integral part of the clandestine services branch of Krakoa so I think she is going to get lots of character development in the fall. This event is supposed to feel like there is something wrong and it does, Xavier and Magneto are outright cult like creepy, and everyone is acting overly obedient to them. Certain mutants with overly sadistic personalities are showing some extra level of resistance like Mystique and Sabretooth, that is probably because their core personalities are rebellious and incredibly violent. But even those two are towing the line too.
I am not worried about Jean (except the Marvel Girl uniform part, I want a new uniform asap), I think Jean is going to get some featured time, particularly because she is a main character on X-Force.
Cyclops is not on X-force and that doesn't mean he is preventing her from leading that team. They just happen to exist at the same time after so long.
God forgive they could even talk to each other.
They have barely existed or interacted and had very few interactions on this issue, that had nothing to do with their relationship.
I think some are exaggerating because what happened to Jean has nothing to do with Scott.
Anyway, has any of you read Marvel comics #1000?
Did Jean make even a cameo?

Hickman didn't regress Jean, she was reduced and regressed since Age of X-man, were she was a background character, with almost no lines that was only there to be fucked by a C-lister (no tease or build up, like a piece of meat) and he could have a cliche plot for his mini (that sold like trash)
hmm, that's interesting. That would definitely make Jean a pod person because she is probably somewhere on Krakoa with the other Omega's being used as some kind of battery/power source. Your mentioning that really emphasizes something else, why would Xavier risk an Omega like Jean that they consider a high priority asset on a mission where she might not return? Why did he allow Scott to take her at all? I think you are right, Jean is probably somewhere on Krakoa with the other Omega's and the Jean that is with Scott is a pod person.
