Jean Grey: Phoenix/Marvel Girl Appreciation 2020

[franckd]

Yes, I was. I loved doing that website, but I was really bad at making it look good. The contents was good, but the page itself looked very amateurish. But still, good times.
I remember how everyone on the Jean Grey message board were excited about what Seagle was doing with Jean.

Yes. I loved the website content. The design was is weak spot, but it wasn't important. It existed, and that was the most important thing for any Jean Grey fan. So thank you for it.

The Seagle run was a such great time for Jean fans. Until his plans were axed by editorial. I will never forget (and forgive) Marvel executives. They killed an interesting run in the womb, in favor of that editorially mandated and crap story : the hunt for Xavier...

Haha. Jean and Trish Tilby's camera man listening in on her argument with Beast.

Personally, I've always hated that "thong-kini" V-design aesthetic that draws the eyes right down and into the pubic region. (one of the reasons why I LOATHE Jim Lee's updated training uniforms and his 90's Jean). Depending on the artist, it either looks porn-star tacky or Sacha-Cohen ridiculous.

I know that a lot of fans love the Jim Lee costume. I didn't like it. I got used to it, but I always thought the colors schemes and design were not Jean's.
I was so happy when she got her Phoenix green & gold suit back.

I agree. I've come to like the 90's costume because we are so used to it and it has become iconic to the character but I prefer the Phoenix costume or a phoenix-like costume. I really disliked the X-men Red costume because it reminded me too much of the 90's look but now I like it versus the green miniskirt look. The Jean Grey character needs a new design. She needs something modern and appropriate for her position in X-force. My fear is that she has been so branded as Marvel Girl again that it will be a long time before they change/update her look.

Yeah, I wasn't a fan of Jean's Red Costume because it lacks originality and 90s design wasn't appealing towards the character for me but it is iconic. Nor do I like her Marvel costume. My favorite will always be Jean's NXM costume excluding the Phoenix designs. It was a modern and slick costume.

We'll get her Phoenix costume back one day. May take a head writer that has a less archaic vantage point on the character, but in the grand scheme of time, she'll have it back soon.

I think they should take some Inspiration from the new Teen Jean costumes to make something. I have Nothing against the Marvel Girl costume, but something newer would be nice, and the Teen Jean costumes were good( her Marvel Girl Outfit) to great (the other two). Would favour the first all-new X-men one and the last one from X-Men Blue and the solo.

Belated Happy Mother’s Day to Jean Grey...so MANY kids...so FEW labor pains!

I know it's a day late for Mothers Day, but this is still adorable and worth sharing.

If only she had looked like this in the original TAS

Agreed. The Phoenix t-shirt is iconic. I wish they'd used the NXM look for DoX vs. the Marvel Girl dress but I don't hate that look, it's cute and kitschy.

When the bottom portion of the V striping is rendered too narrow, it’s not a good look for any gender...

The story where Jean gets the tentacles was wild. Claremont wasn't at his best during that time in his run in my opinion.

So Marvel recently released the Kings of Pain digital trade as well as X-men Days of Future Present. I didn't buy either because I have the individual issues but both have some good Jean Grey content. In Days of Future Present we see Jean come face to face with Rachel. We see Jean's angst at finding out about her potential future with Scott and their alternate time lost daughter who has the powers of Phoenix. I felt for Jean in that issue. I loved the ending with Jean looking at the holo-empathic crystal with the essence of Rachel and Phoenix. I assume she touched it but it is never stated (to my knowledge).

For Kings of Pain, the X-factor annual I believe was the first X-factor issue I owned as a kid. I got it in an assortment bag with other random comics. I've always liked the issue.
