    That's wrong... What they did in SWORD didn't make the WHR just a mysterious place but it made an extremely powerful and relevant place. (moreso than before) They made the WHR and the Mystery the same Place (the Above Place like Doom said). If you have read other comics that's pretty powerful because the Mystery is a Realm outside the Multiverse/Multi Eternity. Also, the WHR is the Heart of the Phoenix and the mindscape of the Phoenix. Its the Phoenix in its purest form. Only Teen Jean and White Phoenix Of the Crown Jean as the True Phoenix have been shown to manipulate the power of the WHR.

    Also the titles Elemental Cosmic Heart, Excelso Prae Omnibus Aliis,Mysterium Tremendum, The Mystery, White-Hot Room of Secret Fire given in SWORD are all for the same place the WHR. They are just different names.

    Yes that's what Ewing said, they are all the same place or insinuated to be. I souldn't have used the world mysterious, as you said is more like a powerful place. But I don't think S.W.O.R.D is going to relate it to the Phoenix or dig more into that connection. I don't think is going to be touched upon anymore, it was there to explain where the mysterium came from as Ewing told in the interview. It's ok tho.

    Marvel being hellbent on giving everyone else a stab at it so they can get a cool costume is trash. Hoping one day someone can fix this mess.
    Someone will. It make take a few more people getting fired or leaving their jobs.

    The only way this "mess" can be fixed (I think it's a blessing) is if Jean recants and begs the PF to accept her back and I would rather Jean die than see her grovel and beg the PF for anything. She doesn't need the PF (not as much as some readers seem to need the PF in their lives)

    There's another option.

    They can write it so that Jean is the only person who can actually control the Phoenix. With other hosts it takes control and does bad ****, but Jean can fundamentally leash it and make it so that it can't do those bad things. It wouldn't ultimately be a powerup for her because they've established Jean is either equal to or greater than the Phoenix (depending on who you ask), but it'd give her the classic Phoenix aesthetic and codename that rightfully belong to her back. Basically: Jean doesn't need the Phoenix. The Phoenix needs Jean.

    X-Men forever said the Phoenix gave Jean
    The cosmic awareness to use its powers. The Jean Grey limited series said Jean Grey is unparalleled as Phoenix, as that’s why the Phoenix always comes to her. Marvel is. Lose to
    Being there, as it is.

    I like this and its my headcanon that Jean usurp power/control of the Phoenix whenever she wants it. Its not with her now bc thats her own choice



    Jean can do this to any Phoenix host whenever she wants and can access its power should she choose

    While it may prefer Jean, the Phoenix doesn't need Jean. At least, not according to Aaron. And I'm good with that too.
    Other than adding to her power, I just don't see it being of any value, plot-wise, going forward. What new stories can be told with Jean as Phoenix that can't be told with a Phoenix-less Jean?

    Let me clarify: I don't mean that the Phoenix needs Jean from a narrative perspective so much as I'm saying that in order for the Phoenix to have a successful host it needs Jean. She (and maybe Rachel) is the only one that can do it.

    Other than adding to her power, I just don't see it being of any value, plot-wise, going forward. What new stories can be told with Jean as Phoenix that can't be told with a Phoenix-less Jean?
    None. I'm not trying to say that it has to effectively add anything to the narrative for Jean apart from her reclaiming her legacy as Phoenix - yet again - as much as I'm saying that Marvel is always going to ultimately go back to Jean being Phoenix. They're releasing another Phoenix omnibus next summer, and the Phoenix is always Jean in outside media other than the Future Fight adaptation of the awful Phoenix tournament arc. Jean doesn't have any looks that are more iconic than Phoenix and Phoenix is basically irrelevant unless it's Jean Grey... so my compromise is that Jean leashes and controls the Phoenix, giving Jean her most iconic appearance back and keeping Phoenix in it's most recognizable and iconic state... as Jean.

    I understand what you're saying. The Phoenix/Jean is iconic but at this time and going forward in this era and beyond, anything Phoenix as it relates to Jean seems like a poor regression for her (and for Rachel too, if I'm being honest).

    I just don't know that I agree that it has to be. If one of them is called Phoenix but not defined by the cosmic firebird, is that a problem? I'm not suggesting that the Phoenix define all of Jean's stories if she ever becomes Phoenix again as much as I'm just saying that it's potentially the most successful option for both the Phoenix Force and Jean.

    And for what it's worth, this argument is mostly a devil's advocate thing for me. I like Jean as she is. I actually think that since teen Jean came around in 2013 to now has been arguably the best era for her.

    She's going by the name "Thunderbird" apparently...which I get, her being Native American, but at the same time I don't get considering there have been two previously named Thunderbirds who were not at all connected to the Phoenix.
