Agreed! But I haven't forgotten that it wasn't too long ago that Marvel bent over backwards to keep her dead. Now, she has such a prominent place in the X-Men comics. And she regularly kicks ass in the mainline titles with other X-Women. After all those years hoping for her return, these past few years have just been so satisfying.Originally Posted by Mercury

Aw. I love to hear you say the truth! I know in some ways her years under Hickman were rough, but we've turned the corner, and we haven't even begun to see the love and developments she's going to be getting. It makes me tingle all over. Originally Posted by MarvelMaster616

Before I go burry myself under a pile of books, I just wanted to share this beautiful little moment from Uncanny X-Men #2 (2018):

I agree. I'm spinning around with you. I'm optimistic but I also have difficulties forgetting the years between "Endsong" and "Resurrection"...I know you liked at least Bendis' work, but for me those have been the worst comicbooks I have ever read....So, I'm happy that the last years have given us so many wonderful new Jean moments and that the next years will probably even get better and better. :-) Originally Posted by Mercury

I don't think Jean as Phoenix is too powerful. I do think the Xoffice didn't want Phoenix around for the first part of Hickman's run because she could have detected Moira's reboots of the timeline. Plus certain things like the XMen making Mars a habitable planet. It was nice to see Omega mutants, including Jean as a part of that process, instead of simply summoning a cosmic entity.
Now with the Eternals and Celestials coming in, if there is any time for Jean to reclaim the Phoenix, now would be it.

Jean is so powerful as herself right now, it makes my head spin!
But in a dire time of need, they may allow Jean to become Phoenix again!
Some say Jean does not need this boost, but then they will downplay Jean's powers. I say, just relax, Jean is already extremely powerful. And if Jean does become Phoenix again, even if for just a short time, then enjoy it! I know I will. I am already enjoying it all.

I am too. And the fact they did a cosmic redemption storyline for her already, before they address Phoenix issues in September. Originally Posted by Phoenixx9

I actually think Marvel on a number of it's major characters in XMen does listen to fan opinion overall. Like people thought Storm had been sidelined and she ends up becoming the Regent of Mars. People thought Jean had been sidelined and put in the horrible green dress. Now she is out of the dress, a powerhouse again, and they are going to address whatever her connection to the Phoenix is in September.
Positivity and CONSTRUCTIVE criticism works.

People say they don’t want Jean to become Phoenix again, but then complain when Marvel throws the Phoenix around to everyone else like a one size fits all dress. It’s Jean’s dress! She wore it and will always wear it better than anyone else. Stop worrying about her power levels. When she pushes her powers, that’s what she is. When Carol Danvers goes into binary mode, nobody complains.
