I actually understand this criticism. I don’t think it’s gone into that zone yet, but it does seem to be inching a bit in that direction. I think the threats Jean makes are what keeps it from going full Care Bears mode.
This does feel more like X-Men: Red Jean in the “use love and kindness” message. Not crazy about that portrayal. Not that I find anything wrong with the message. I think a slight bit more bite to Jean could have been used.
Agree , it's strange that Synch is being labelled 'creepy' by some.Guy has not even had much dialogue with Laura.He only confides in Jean. After this issue I think Synch should forget trying to share his memories.Before the reveal that Laura feels she's missing memories that Synch can help her remember, it was hard enough , but now that we also know she doesn't want to know because she senses they are intimate memories of them together, it's just a bad idea.
If you care to, please expound. How do you interpret this sequence in the dream? I think the emphasis on "...or you" is very telling. This is not a dream indicating Jean is preoccupied with Emma and should certainly not be read as Emma shading Jean. (As I noted, people in dreams usually represent aspects of the dreamer's own psyche.)
IMO, in this sequence, Emma represents Jean's id, which is letting her know that she isn't being true to herself on some level, which could include her choice of costume and/or other aspects of herself. The way Emma is depicted in this panel is also very telling. Neither the art nor dialogue are mean-spirited, but, rather, indicate Emma telling Jean something Jean already knows, hence why I feel she represents her id.
I enjoyed how Duggan used Emma to convey to Jean that its quite frankly time to move on and retire the Marvel Girl outfit, shes someone who knows Jean Grey, Emma has seen Jean at her worst and best. So, for Emma to say that this outfit isnt “you” made complete sense. Jean has been stuck in the Marvel girl outfit because when she last wore it that was when life was so much easier for her, she didnt have the responsibility of being this powerful omega level mutant. So, im very excited to see Jean in this new outfit and see her move past her marvel girl persona.
Also i really hope this is her new costume it looks really good from the back tbh
Emma is the opposite of a devourer
She's A Lifebringer
I liked how part of Scott's nightmare was a sign that said "Cyclops was wrong." And Jean got some time to shine and she was great. Plus it wasn't just a show of power, but also of heart. That's the kind of writing I like with Jean; she was kind, but not soft or weak.
But other than that, the novelty of this run is wearing thin for me. I know they want to establish the status quo, but I'm ready for bigger plots and character beats now.
EDIT: Oh yeah, the Vault stuff. I want to go on a rant about how I dislike the Laura/Everett stuff and both characters' overall development, but I'm too tired right now.

2024: The Year of Hellion
Thats her choice, which has been made clear. If she wants to know he should share them otherwise he shouldnt which has already been said he has no intention of so i dont see why he is still coming up in the equation.
Edit: its also been made very clear laura is the one who feels like she is missing something and she is the one afraid. Synch for all we know had a great night sleep.

Bingo! Jean's subconscious chose to disguise itself as Emma because a) Jean is still somehow stopping herself (or being stopped?) from fully acknowledging and accepting not just her id but her true current psychological state, and b) Emma has never been anything but brutally honest with Jean, so such a startling truth would be both more believable and acceptable coming from Emma.
Still all on laura. If she gets the memories back there is no guarantee that is what she will feel but obviously she has feelings for synch as evidence by the HE issue and if she doesnt want to face them she shouldnt be force to but if she does she shouldnt be denied the information. Synch is in the clear here unless duggan does a 180 and has him force them on her and i just dont see that happening.

It felt like filler but love the focus that Jean got. I do feel like more could have been done with the rest of the team though
