    I'm the one who brings this topic because someone keeps blaming everything on Cyclops and saying they shouldn't exist on the same book.
    As a fan of the couple I like to point that he actually brings to the table more than most guys.
    I like the couple too and prefer it to Scott/Emma or Jean/Logan and want them to get back together.
    But making it all about who Jean should get with is on the fans or the writers who can't think of anything else to do with her. If she was a complex character with a lot of potential and lore attached to her (and she is), that shouldn't be an issue.

    I don't care about him outside of what he could do for Jean, which I think is more than what any other guy having a generic relationship based on superficial stuff and being carried by Jean does for her.

    Eh, it's mostly just Spirit, most fans are indifferent or still ship her with Cyclops.

    Don't forget the ever feisty Jean/Ororo contingent.

    Ororo is wonderful but I wish Jean had a better relationship with Betsy (Captain Britain now?) or Rogue.
    Characters need more significant relationships that aren't romantic.

    No, thanks, That is not development.
    I don't think she is better for or needs to date. That only does something for the guy (that at this point in time is interchangable, meaningless) but nothing for her. It is a waste of time to reward and make other characters look cool by making Jean fall for them, it feels so weak and cheap.
    Love has to be something meaningful, has to be build, has to give the character something, not for the sake of it.
    Ugh, I personally don't want that for Jean. To waste her time on that. Seriously 99% of the characters of the marvel universe are below her.

    Because it is a waste of time, if they didn't let her stay married when Jean and Scott were the X-men OTP, they aren't going to let her marry, make a family last together with someone else. We would only get more love triangles and angry fans of whatever character she dates feeling entitled to her.

    I'm a big fan of her and Scott, they grew up together, married, didn't had kids but raised one, almost all of the best Jean Grey stories have Cyclops on them. No other relationship could reach as far or last as long or be better (of course it would look better if marvel keeps the love triangles but it doesn't mean it is). What can she have with other guy? something that looks cool until other writer starts drama and she goes with someone else, like has happened with Black Widow or Scarlet Witch. I detest seeing ladies wasting time like this.
    And yet we would still have drama with someone else, I certainly hate that. To think love drama is the most important thing for her character, that the most importan thing is getting dicked, a total waste of time.
    Look at black widow and Scarlet witch having their own stories without needing a specific male cumpanion.
    How dare they?

    I know very well the stry she had with Scott, and i get why people like it very well too. But Jean getting out to meet new people can be very fun and help her character development.
    At this point I really tired of Scott and Jean, specially that I can't have a long period of time without him glued to Jean.

    And having male character interested on Jean doesn't make them look good. If Richarn Nova gets interested on Jean and she on him, that i sok. he is honorable guy that every fan should be flattered that is dating their fave.

    Mistakes should have consequences, instead of "I'm sorry" and everything is fine again.
    And this would just benefit Scott/Jean relationship

    That isn't what Claremont ever wanted. Not anywhere I read. For the people who insist it is what he wanted, I'd like to see a source. Simonson didn't make her Jean. A clone of Jean is not Jean. Stryfe is not Cable. Problem with Maddie simply being Jean is it didn't account for D'bari. It's why Shooter wanted her punished in the first place. It's why he oked Busiek's story.

    That's what I'm saying that Jean doesn't need to be looking who she is going to date, she has more important stuff to do and shouldn't be reduced to that. Not even Wonderwoman is looking for relationships, she is more than that.
    you're the one saying she should date x or y to develop

    That is not character development, if for example Cyclops or Wolverine tomorrow dated other girl that wouldn't be character development. Ororo dating yet another guy is not character development. Is only dating someone. Jean and Scott growing up, marrying and being a family is character development.

    Every guy falls for Jean, that's cheap. I long for something deeper, more epic, more significant.
    Anybody can be made to fall for her that is not special.
    and I don't want Jean propping guys with her feelings, that is not making her a favor, that is using her and wasting her time.
    Her love and feelings aren't cheap or a ladder.

    A huge difference. She could tell Bobby, Hank or Warren that she loves them. Mind you, I'd like the issues where she told Logan that she loved him. Jean to Logan directly. Because I don't remember it happening.

Claremont wanted Cyclops to move on from the X-Men and have a life. I suspect that he also wanted the New Mutants to eventually replace the X-Men so they could move on as well. I actually would have preferred that approach more as I prefer the New Mutants characters over X-Men.
    That person was a depowered Jean. The shooter ordered to kill her, then it became Maddie

    There is that Fatal Attractions narration that some people kept bringing up. Outside of that... i got nothing, Jean has show that she cares about him, but not in a romantic way in spite of some insistence. Honestly after Hama's Wolverine, i always though that she pretty much acts like a nurse (not a perfect comparison but is the closest thing that it comes to mind), but without any romantic tones on her part, she even refers to him as a brother at some point.

    I agree with this part. Friendships in particular hardly get attention.

    Wonder Woman has good boy steve trevor

    Black widow had many love interests and scarlet Witch is dating brother voodoo. it doesn't take away from them

    Not every good relationship needs to lead to marriage to be important. Emma and Cyclops didn't marry, but i can't deny it wasn't important

    Every guy falls for Jean, that's cheap. I long for something deeper, more epic, more significant.

    If every guy falls for Jean, wouldn't she be tempted to try someone? Scott now shouldn't have the same power he had pre-cheating. She should be more free
