From Grant Morrison himself.

The way I saw it was that Jean and Scott had become remote. For me, the great emotional moment for Scott and Jean was when they ran out to die together on the moon during the Phoenix Saga. After Jean died, Scott ended up with a lot of other women. Scott was very attractive to women even though he didn't know it and I wanted to play around with that. Since he was becoming emotionally remote from Jean, because she was becoming more and more godlike, it just seemed he would naturally fall into the arms of someone more emotionally connected, which Emma actually was. Yes, it was a kind of adultery, but at the same time Jean wasn't being his wife anymore. I just felt that the spark between them had died out and it was time to give Scott someone else.
Tired of this Morrison talk. It's clear some people would rather be in the Scott or Emma threads so not sure why they are polluting this thread.
Anyway stan Jean with an unproblematic angel who has loved her from the beginning.
Jean Grey used a sun as a vibrator and nothing will ever take that away from her.
Jean should be with the young telekinetic Hellion
I mean look at the material
And since Jean looks like she came straight from the 60s with the same age is perfect
Also I do want to note that you guys were arguing that Morrison didn't say Jean was being a bad wife, but you posted quotes where he says Jean was not as emotionally in touch as Emma, that Jean kept Scott from growing, and that she was not being his wife anymore.
I like the Morrison run, and I like his Jean, but Grey absolutely was made to be the fall guy for the problems, in the writer's own published thoughts about the story and certainly in how the story concluded.
That's why it's such a heinous sexist crime to pretend that none of that happened just because of some anti-female rule that Jean's purity must be preserved for Cyclops as proof of his manhood.
If someone is saying that you aren't being a wife to your husband anymore, that literally means you aren't being a good wife or any wife at all. So Morrison didn't need to explicitly say "bad wife" to describe Jean. It's amazing how Morrison defenders and apologists here will spin anything when the implication is staring them right in the face.
100% agree with you on everything you said.
