It’s not at all regressive.
Will they have Professor Xavier or Magneto mowing lawns as teenagers or selling lemonade as kids in the movies? Absolutely NOT!
Figure out the reasons why and you will have all those reasons why Jean won’t be a waitress or a model.
No male genius in Marvel is ever shown as doing a low end, crap job or a low skilled job. Even Peter Parker started out as a photographer. Though he was not paid much for quite sometime, bring a photojournalist is a skilled, respectable job.
Models are just pretty faces. You might as well be just a mannequin. It’s not a job for one of the most powerful minds in the world.
It is regressive when you dismiss a person's intelligence and accomplishments bc of their job.
Hank McCoy was literally a wrestler in a circus. Peter Parker was one too.
And being a model does require skill or else anyone can do it. There are those that can make it and those that go nowhere. Jean wasnt one of the most powerful minds when she was one anyway. I dont think anyone expects that out of her in her 30s after years of experience and superheroics
Thanks! I think he's just having fun with me, though. Or maybe not. He is a big Jean fan, after all. And my account is totally dedicated to covering her history and development. In either case, I, too, am glad we have someone "who's on our side" running the show. It's exhilarating, actually.
The fact of the matter is that Jean was a model, and that's canon. Whether you like it or not is of no consequence to me or her history.
Being a model takes having a gorgeous body, face and hair. Also Poise, Grace, Dexterity, Concentration, the Ability to Control one's looks and expressions as well as the muscular control to hold still during long photo shoots.
Jean has all of these qualities. Jean was a model. And she is more than just a pretty face. I would dare say Jean is thee most powerful mind on Earth.

This is not our house. Know that and know peace!

Y'know, assuming this is serious, I wonder if Jean is the only one with "unofficial researcher", because now I'm kinda fearing that they'll go the complete opposite of what Jean used to be in the cartoon and be too powerful.
Like, characters looking powerful is nice, and considering how embarassing the Jean from the 90's cartoon used to be, she definitely could use some improvements, but going too far is dangerous if it overshadows the rest...
I'm reading X-Men since the beginning now, so I guess I can't help with this, maybe in a few months, or years with how much I postpone stuff lol.
I mean, Peter started as a wrestler.
And even if you say him essentially taking selfies is a respectful job, he generally was treated like shit at the Buggle and was underpaid, constantly had problems paying his bills, so he ironically wasn't respected that much there, and definitely was wasting his potential by staying there.
He also was a paparazzi once, definitely not considered a respectful job.
I think you're seeing a character like Jean as a larger than life type, who should only have the best jobs, or at least most fitting or whatever, which is understandable but, doesn't mean she has to be like that all the time, if she's even supposed to be like that, having jobs like this isn't necessarily a bad thing, 'cause again, it can make her relatable.Models are just pretty faces. You might as well be just a mannequin. It’s not a job for one of the most powerful minds in the world.
