Scott has been without action since Utopia and Jean has just escaped from a plane of existence where sex is forbidden.
Just saying.
Dark does not mean deep.
I posed this question many times when I'd read how stagnant and boring Jott supposedly were. Although at this point I haven't read FF in over a decade either. CIVIL WAR. Prior to that, I had read every issue of FF. And I'd ask, what exactly was being done with Reed and Sue that they weren't stagnant and boring? How many of the stories, 1966-2006, focused on their relationship? Not saying there were none. She left him in the 70s over Franklin. Overall, very little. It's a constant, a staple, but it wasn't the focus very often. I'm talking storyarcs here. I'm not suggesting we hardly saw them act like a couple or a family. We got that with Jott after their marriage. That is not the same thing as storylines focused on the marriage.
The obvious big difference was children as a constant. Jott didn't have that. If they did, would they no longer be stagnant. That was the buzzword, as if any stable and functional couple isn't thatto some degree by default. Anyway, just always struck me as a bit of a double standard. Just to be clear, not knocking Reed and Sue, They were always my 2nd favorite Marvel couple.
Well, at this point, there are other differences. Namely, Scott having an affair on his wife. They don't do stuff like that with Reed and Sue. Have been a few smooches with Namor, though. That is more the equivalent of the Jean/Logan end.
I saw the panel. Might be in the minority among Jott fans in that I would rather it not have been right after she walked past Emma. Couldn't they sort of be alone for a panel to do it? Certainly not going to say I disliked it, though. I guess it answers some questions about how they feel about each other. Wouldn't be doing that if there weren't feelings there.
that was intentional. It was done to express that Logan and Emma are irrelevant. In their moment of reuniting, neither Jean nor Scott are thinking of those two
I also think Rosenberg set it up like that to further humiliate Emma whom Dr. Nemesis mocks for having a plan to win back her ex-bf

Nothing from 1999 and the buidup to THE TWELVE story? Thought there might have been something in there. I remember them discussing having kids . Someting like, Jean maybe we should talk about having children. And her response is, just talk? I always remembered that line.
Yeah: there are plenty of women that keep their last names when they get married and Jean is technically one of them. Her name was hyphenated, so Mrs Grey wouldn't have even be incorrect back then. It's also easier to say.
