Codename: Marvel Girl
Team Role: Basically 40-year-old stepmom
But it also says girl or boy can mean "that one" or " you know i'm that girl". Jean is that girl of marvel. Approachable, powerful, accepting, but dangerous. That can be THAT girl. I guess my inherent problem though comes from i don't know who is male or female and i would never take a male's opinion serious on what a woman feels about being called a girl. Golden Girls for life!!
Don't let anyone else hold the candle that lights the way to your future because only you can sustain the flame.

It's literally not about the "girl' name that doesn't suit her. It's about the moniker she had when she joined as a teenager in the X-Men. The regression. She has gone past that name and identity like decades ago over a higher authority. If it's Marvel Woman or anything that suits her character, I have no problem with it.
I think Marvel Girl could’ve went to someone whose Ms. Marvel’s age. Hell even her
I prefer Phoenix, of course, it was part of Jean’s development. She went from a girl to an adult heroine back in the 1970s. And then in the 1990s she took back the codename Phoenix to honor her dying daughter. And then she started wearing the Phoenix costume as a way to empower herself. For me Jean as Phoenix is perfect.
But now she has for some reason decided that Phoenix is bad. Yes, it is poor continuity and the editors (or whoever is responsible for continuity) should have stepped in. But it is what it is. For some reason, Jean has now decided that Phoenix is bad and I try to accept that.
But does that mean that Marvel Girl is the way to go? For a long time during the 1990s Jean didn’t have a codename because everyone agreed that an adult woman calling herself ”girl” is weird. (They even published the Apocalypse Files at the back of an issue of X-Factor where he stated that.) It feels even weirder in the 2020s. Jean is the first X-woman, she is a veteran as a hero, she is powerful and mature. She is truly a woman and not a girl. If she has to have Marvel as part of her codename I think Marvel Woman is the best codename for her.

I wouldn't be mad if they changed her code-name to Marvel Woman but there is absolutely nothing wrong with Marvel Girl. Being called Marvel Girl does not negate or erase the fact that she is the first woman of the X-Men or the decades of history and experience or takes away anything from the character as she is being written now.
My Summer rain. My rooftop in Japan. My quiet in the storm. *cries* Al Ewing is GOD...Praise His name! Uplift Him in song! Glorify His works!
Marvel Girl is a rehash of her teenage identity to define her experience and maturity over decades of character development.

That is very wrong, it underscore all development she had all those years
Marvel Girl was used on the past mostly on character descriptions, majority just used her name or phoenix on the seagle/kelly period
Just now they decided to used it again as her mutants name and identity
haha yeah it is all some weird stereotypes mixed together
