    We love Jean Grey. This is her APPRECIATION THREAD. Bashing can be done on any number of other threads without us.

    Jean Grey is the first and greatest X-Woman! She is the Heart and Soul of the X-Men. Jean Grey is the first True X-Men Goddess, the Psionic Supreme!

    If you think otherwise, then you need to go back and READ the story.

    I kinda disagree that she shouldn't have went dark and died. I think Dark Phoenix is still a pretty good story. Jean's sacrifice works great narratively. They just should have brought her back later normally, without any retcons, since the Phoenix is literally a symbol of rebirth.

    I like her up until #137, then I appreciate her much less.

    I hate anyone actively bashing a character in their appreciation thread. I think it is done in extremely taste and should be avoided whenever possible. If I were a mod I would adopt a zero-tolerance policy towards such behavior.

    I really think that her dying made hr guilty of things she shouldn't be. It took the atention away from the bad guys and what they did to her. Also it became tiring Jean scrificing and being killed

This reminds me of Byrne’s interpolation. Them at the Phoenix Firce was malevolent spirit, when it was Mastermind all along! The Phoenix Force works better as a Cosmic Abstract, not a manipulative entity.

    Goes to show how many writers have not understood the mechanics of Claremont’s story.
    One of the clear things is that writers doesn't undertand DPS. It's a story about corruption not about losing control of a great power

    Right?

    This is where you put the "deal with it" shades on.

    Besides that, there was a decade and a half of the woman getting her punishment death or whatever. Good thing she's back now.

    Now, if only we could get her with a writer who wants to see her flourish...

    The retcon was so lame lol how she formed the cocoon or whatever and didnt really die. Yeah i think it would’ve worked better her being the phoenix and all but whatever not gonna get hung up on something thirty years ago

    It's bad because Jean going dark was literally John Byrne coming in and deciding that having a character like Jean (eg, a female) be as strong as Thor and the Silver Surfer and Galactus' heralds was a bad thing simply because a woman shouldn't be strong, and that if they were then the power would go to her head. It's literally steeped in misogyny and there's no other way to slice it.

    As for you thinking Dark Phoenix is still a pretty good story, well, that's more power to you. But at the end of the day it's a story that's framed around a strong woman's psyche being broken and her going insane, and largely painted by the reactions of what the men in her life do about it up until the end where she kills herself.

    I don’t understand why you keep talking about Byrne… Dark Phoenix is a Claremont’s story, I believe.

    I think I read that Byrne didn't like how powerful Claremont was making Jean and thought she was making the rest of the team unnecessary. I don't think he even considered her part of the main team since he didn't put her in the characters box on the covers.

    Byrne is also one of the reasons why Jean was killed off. Byrne drew the D'Bari being killed by Jean when she destroyed their sun, even though Claremont never mentioned in the script that the system had an inhabited planet, thus making her a genocidal murderer.

    Powerful characters are indeed a problem in a team dynamic and no one could argue that Jean Grey wasn’t apart from the rest of her teamates.

    But it’s quite hard to tell about an author’s feelings on a character based on a story: Jean Grey wasn’t herself when she was Dark Phoenix and comic authors do their best to accentuate the drama of a story.

    I cannot say anything good about Jean in a different thread from this one, people are attacked just by saying something good about Jean, the hate against her is impressive in any other thread.
    Nevertheless, now that we are just appreciating Jean in her thread, people are comming to this thread to bash her and hate her, the audacity.

    FYI, Jean really shines in X-Force #19. Won't spoil it. Just gonna say that she proves that when it comes to teaching psychic tricks to moody teenagers, Jean has no equals.

    Totally agree, i wasnt fussy on the art, but Jean was a teacher and leader and in control. Good issue for her.

    I didn’t help that Moira and sometimes also her teamates felt uncomfortable about her level of power. It gave the impression that Jean could lose control… even it all began with Jason Wyngarde’s meddling.
