Because they said she was being rude and disrespectful to Sage. It was just usual fan trolling and craziness. There was a very popular sage fan on this board and he was probably trolling but he had a lot of users hating on Jean for somehow dissing Sage though the character just says Hi to her. It was over the top as what you can expect here at times.
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?
It was obvious Hope was meant to a) suggest the reincarnation of Jean and b) never be Jean, so I found her a lead balloon as soon as she was aged from infancy. Just another derivative redhaired Jean knockoff.
From a newsarama interview:
Bendis: It's a lineup that's interesting in retrospect. They were such idealistic, '60s,"let's do it!" mutant superheroes. And what it's evolved into, looking back at it is so fascinating.
Just Jean Grey alone inspires so many story ideas and so many emotions, and means so much to so many people. That's the thing X-Men fans always say they want. You go anywhere — "Bring back Jean Grey!" But they don't want a reincarnated Jean Grey, and they don't want a dug-up Jean Grey. They want Jean. It's not like I run out of my way to find crowd-pleasing things, but this does allow us to get Jean back, pure. What a great thing. And I love Jean, I love writing her — just having her push forth. She's one of the inciting things that makes this happen in the first place, her coming here and going, "Why is everyone looking at me? What happened, and why is the school named after me?"
Nrama: And you're the first creator who's getting to write her on an ongoing basis in almost 10 years.

I also found a similar quote from a Washington Post article where he pretty much says the same:
That’s a big deal, Bendis says, “because it’s actually Jean Grey. It’s not reincarnated Jean Grey. It’s not the clone of Jean Grey. It’s actually her.”
I thought in one interview he flat out says he didn't want to do another Jean/Phoenix story but I may have inferred that from him saying repeatedly he didn't want to resurrect her.
I would link to both the articles but right click isn't working for me and neither is control c on the address bar, but if you google the quotes above you can find both.
I found this interview, seemed like all bendis could do is bring teen jean. let's remember that interviews are edited and monitored by public relations from marvel
s interesting, because it seems that for a while the All-New All-Different X-Men was the favored early team and got much more of the focus than the original five, but now that group has gotten a lot more attention in recent years. How much fondness do you have for that lineup?

From a US today article from 2012:
A lot of fans are interested in what Bendis plans to do with Jean, since — because of her deaths and resurrections over the years, her fateful romance with Cyclops and her being the most famous bearer of the Phoenix Force herself — "she's not around and has had probably the most controversial life of anybody at Marvel," he says.
"But as excited as I was to bring Jean back — and it's the real Jean, the fresh-faced Jean Gray, and not Jean the Phoenix and not Jean the reincarnated — even I am shocked about how much this book is about her. What she's going through and the age she's going through it and how she's handling it and what she's going to do next is a big part of the book."
For those who haven't read "The Dark Phoenix Saga" 20 times, Bendis says not to worry. What this young Jean discovers, new fans will discover. And she's a big part of his emotional connection to his new/old cast of characters.
"It's very cool to have Jean Grey be the eyes and ears of a story that is about Jean Grey and is completely reader-friendly," he admits. "Whoever thought you'd get that?"
I miss teen Jean, she was so awesome

This looks like Brian Bendis selling desesperately that Jeen is new reader friendly.
Seems more like a editorial thing than Bendis. I don't get the idea that it was him prefering Jeen over adult
I don't quite understand the logic here. For x-men be really new reader friendly you need to full reboot

I can't believe I forgot to mention Jean's moment of rescuing Wolverine and herself from the Sun! Wolverine mercy killing Jean as they head into the sun was more powerful to me than Nightcrawler's and Wolverine's recent sun related death.
Jean had so many great moments in New X-men and that is why I will always defend it. Before Morrison's run I was loving Jean in Claremont's revolution era because 1. Scott wasn't around and 2. the Phoenix imagery even though I disliked the part with her not having her tk abilities. As much as I do like Scott and Jean together I think Jean is better served when she's not the love interest. I like it when she has other stories, though being a love interest is one of her major themes and even I cannot deny that. Jean's big themes are her relationships and her growing/expanding powers, which sometimes include Phoenix level powers.
