Jean Grey / Phoenix Appreciation 2021

[Gray Lensman]

I think the memory dump radicalized her leading her to stuff all her emotions inside her(hence why she may come of as cold) to get any sense of control over her life(because she was scared out of her mind and desperate)

I can see that - she's acting cold because the alternative is to go white hot with rage.

[Dam]

Isn't that the point? She isn't the older Jean we all know and love, therefore cannot really be considered OOC.

You are right HAHAHA

At first I wasn't sure how I felt about what Jean was doing, but after reading the whole issue, it doesn't bother me. It's messy, but in a Jean way. It comes from a place of love and best intentions, not maliciousness.

Jean (the adult one) does have a history of utilizing her telepathy in questionable ways, even if you understand her intent (Phoenix manipulating Kate's parents, Jean accidently revealing Ororo's feelings to Forge). Like Hickman said, Jean is very open to the thoughts and feelings of others. That's just who she is as a telepath.

And accidentally uncovering and speaking out loud about Ororo's claustrophobia.

omg. Yes! You just reminded me! And this story is 35 years old! It's one of my favorites.

Also, does anyone know what issue this is from?

It's one of the vignettes from Classic X-Men, but I don't remember the exact issue.

The Polaris and Jean panel? Really?

I thought you were referring to the Jean and Ororo story. Not all pictures even register as being there when I'm on my phone at work. And I'm not referring to there being an icon for a picture I can't view, there is nothing to clue me in that there was a pic at all in the post.

Oh, no. I know what issue that story is from - Classic X-Men #2.

I can't remember where the Jean and Lorna panel comes from, which is driving me a little nuts.

Yes, another good example.

Thank you, love!

Jean doesnt always do the right thing. This Polaris thing is not one of those times though.

See this is why we cant have a well rounded Jean Grey, people flip their lids if she does something that could be interpreted as wrong. Jean’s not a saint and I don’t want her to be one. Those putting her on a pedestal is a huge disservice to her character.

Tank! We agree! ��

Five issues in and I’m really digging that Duggan is tapping into Jean’s leadership, aggressivity, & Omega Level power, while underscoring that she is an unparalleled empath who relies on “love and kindness” & has her own guilts and insecurities. #Layered
