Jean Grey: Marvel Girl, Phoenix Appreciation 2019

[PsyButterfly]

I can't believe I'm going to say this but I'll actually miss the Marvel Girl costume. It grew on me.

[spirit2011]

I noticed that she is going by Jean Grey in this so hopefully she officially drops the Marvel Girl codename when she takes this costume. She's already started to move away from it as we saw in X-men #1

As for Hickman and the issue, not excited to see him write bc his Jean has been underwhelming. I dont tend to hold writer's favorites against him but he's already stated that Emma is among them and he's already made it clear in his writing so Im setting my expectations low as a Jean fan

lately I have more and more sensatin that writers are fans firsts and writers second. Now they clearly say who is their favorites and aren't ashamed of pushing their favortes.

but how dare Taylor write a good Jean?

[Triniking1234]

Did Taylor write a good Jean?

[spirit2011]

Did Taylor write a good Jean?

Really good. God tier

And Jean isn't even his favorite character

[Havok83]

Did Taylor write a good Jean?

No, he wrote a great Jean. I miss her.

Really good. God tier

And Jean isn't even his favorite character

yep, Laura clearly is but he avoided the urge to push her there

Well, Emma is also being called Emma rather than White Queen. And I think she was called Jean Grey on X-Men #1 cause she was there just having dinner with her family rather than on a mission or something.

I don't think that, when it comes to marketing and fan perception, any codename will ever catch for Jean, even if Marvel Girl is her original one. But I don't mind her going by it if she has to have a "mutant name" as apparently everyone has to in this current era.

But Jean was the only one that was referred to by her first name in the issue. Nathan and Rachel were only there to have dinner as well yet their codenames were used. It makes me wonder if Jean is transitioning back to what most people refer to her as. I believe Marvel may have only used the MG anyway so they could keep the copyright active so they dont lose it

professional writer. Wish we could get more like this on x-books

Oh, true. But idk, I feel like it might have just slipped. I don't think they're going away from Marvel Girl. Maybe when she gets the costume change, but no so far... I remember that with Jeen it was also like, sometimes she was called Marvel Girl, sometimes she wasn't...

I was hoping Jeannie would pop up in Wolverine.

IMO, his Jean was too much of a pacifist/idealist. She's always had a temper and could get dirty if needed/pushed far enough, but Taylor had her monologuing and not wanting to resort to violence. That never clicked for me, as well as having Kurt, Remy and Ro mostly in the background so Gabby could crack jokes.

Red had many good moments, but it also had glaring defects.

I'm a little disappointed Dauterman didn't choose a better costume to recolor, but I'm really excited for the new book anyway.

I agree I don't mind the occasional speech but sometimes red was too much, it needed less talk and a little more kick ass

this thread especially is been all about costumes for months now
