On Krakoa, the mutant normal is typically having an open or polyamorous relationship rather than a monogamous one. While Cyclops is able to have relationships with both Emma Frost and Jean Grey, Wolverine seems to also be in a relationship with Jean Grey. Probably Cyclops too but that’ll never be confirmed on-panel. In Excalibur, Jamie also confirms that the rules of relationships are different in Krakoa.
The X-men are never ever ever written with subtext that becomes canonical.
They were literally subtextual, you couldn’t show nonhetero romance so they had to be “great friends.” If it wasn’t subtextual for so long, their first kiss wouldn’t have been in a comic published last year.
Also the hints aren’t strong?? Jamie citing that he can get with his brother’s wife because of Krakoan culture isn’t a strong enough hint?
