Jean Grey / Phoenix Appreciation 2021

[Kitty&Piotr<3]

Eh, nah. I like her in the field as a leader. Now, if they let her do both, I would be down for that. As someone mentioned on Twitter, she should be taking Xavier's spot if Inferno ends with him being pulled. Really, Jean and Ororo should be leading all of Krakoa as far as I'm concerned.

Agree with this. I want her in the field so they can show her slinging stuff around with her TK (which we never see lol smh).

Storm and Jean should definitely be running things, but also alongside a Magneto/Emma more devious 100% practical type for drama.

This was the LEWK!

Jean is a bullet-timer!

I love when she says "This is not an ordinary bullet Charles. Look" because, lol, he is no idea! Jean is so far ahead of him.

[Starchilde]

I love how she has all those phoenix psionic effects around her just to stop the bullet. Extra and I'm loving it.

I don’t think those two have similar leadership skills. Storm is leading Arrako because she is a warrior woman, Queen, and goddess. It just fits her and her magical nature.

Jean, on the other hand, is more the Thor to bring about change and bring down old structures. We saw her finding new ways in the Morrison run, X-Men Red, and she restarted the X-Men during Krakoa. Her character does t really mesh well with Storms.

Aside from being best friends and knowing each other in ways few do, this is precisely why they would lead perfectly together.

Where is the second panel (upper right--Jean as WP) from?

I also love that it was reflexive and showing her TK developing into an extra sense automatically observing her surroundings.

Jean had sensory TK as a teen and I wish I would come back

This was the LEWK!

Does she have the shirts custom made, or do Phoenix symbols just appear on the clothes she wears randomly?

It should come back, and honestly I would love a moment exactly like this one but in this era.

Claremont wrote them as friends in an era where they were the only two women on the team.

But no matter how many hugs you post, their current characters don’t really mesh well and certainly not them as co leaders of Krakoa.

Interesting relationships in fiction having tension. Jean and Emma are more interesting to me than Jean and Storm in part because Jean and Emma had to overcome a lot of issues.

Jean’s friendship with Ororo will never dissolve, no matter how little respect and regard you have for it. And they would be fabulous together.

Jean has also been dead for awhile. In that time Storm became queen of Wakanda. Storm in part because of her Wakandan ties (faith in her activated her latent divinity) became a god. So the next step up for her was to become Regent of Sol, queen of a planet of warrior mutants.

Jean on the other hand is going to need serious development after her ties to the Phoenix were stripped and then of course they ignored her nation building vision post X-Men Red. She’s not in the scale as Storm though finally she’s back in the field and hopefully they make her Phoenix again.

Jean seemed to be more about ripping out abusive power structures, taking down the patrichary, or static ways of thinking. She’s powerful in a very different way than Storm, and in ways that don’t make good story telling together.

Who said anything about it dissolving? At the same time friends aren’t hued too each other. We certainly don’t see them working together very much.
