Since I’ve been in arguments about this before, I suppose I will answer this too…..
This, I don’t think I have done this, but I will offer some possibilities that could be happening for the other side (wallstreeter will answer for themselves). Talking through the text on a screen is not easy to interpret on tone. That could be one reason there is usually an issue in miscommunication.
Another possibility is that, you are wrong about you being concise and clear. You thought you were clear, but they obviously misinterpreted what you said. Thereby, either they are slow to understanding (in which you need patience to help them get there) or you saying you are not always clear and concise 100% of the time. No, you never stated you were. I’m just stating that as a mere fact that can happen.
Whatever the case may be, this is a problem of patience on both sides. The listener should take into account what you are actually saying and you need to make sure they aren’t focusing on a single aspect that misses the entire point. It’s hard, but if you really want to be heard, then it’s a step you gotta take with imperfect individuals.
This is a statement where I agree with you on. In fact, when the Omega Level list came out, people went on about how Xavier was more deserving of the spot than Jean or wondering why Rachel or Nate Grey or Cable were excluded. It’s a natural conclusion to jump to. And I would hardly call making a discussion about it be equivalent to the same people that would rant and rave anywhere else. This whole thing is being made more of a bigger deal than Omega_DCD initially meant for it to be.
While I don’t agree with the idea that this changes anything or is a sign of things going back to the status quo of earlier stories, I do understand why people would start questioning it because there were better ways to praise Charles telepathy than calling him the most powerful in the universe.
Then by all accounts, ask. As far as I am concerned, there isn’t a required measure to be identified as a fan of anything, whether they buy every bit of Jean merchandise or just like the movies or 90’s tv show.
I do understand wallstreeters side as well. It is annoying to constantly hear complaints. There should be a balance of both positivity and critique. I do think Wallstreeter did handle things incorrectly, but questioning their stance as a fan certainly isn’t helping things.
That’s an exaggeration and you know it. I agree, Wallstreeter isn’t handling this correctly, but this certainly is not the way either. No singular opinion is the correct one and him doing so to you is not an invitation for you to do the same.
Believe it or not, Jean having cameos is a good thing. If you want your society to be more believable, you would have to show how the community involves themselves in upkeeping the society. That includes Jean Grey, who is perhaps the one of the most involved people on Krakoa, even after leaving the Council. How people interact with her, think of her, or what we see her doing is all apart of world-building that is important to creating a believable world.
This, I cannot say one way or the other. I don’t think anyone can say one way or the other. As much as the thread makes assumptions about what the writer was thinking, unless the writer themselves make clear what they were intending to do with a story, we are not gonna know if you are even correct about Jean being purposely put in a situation or if it was something the writer did not think about.
We lose Jean’s more reliable perspective of the situation going on with Storm regarding Xavier’s absence from the chamber, which is valuable for how brief of a moment it is. Put Emma, Monet, the Cuckoo’s, or Quentin in Jean’s spot, and they most likely would snark about Storm being an important Regent elsewhere and be flippant about whether Storm will see Xavier or not. Leave Hope or Exodus there alone and they will express having no clue what is going on. Put Rachel, Captain Britain, Selene, or Psylocke there and you have an issue with timelines between different books.
We would lose a moment of Jean being involved as a back-up to Resurrection when Xavier is unavailable. Yes, we know she has been before, but we didn’t know if her X-Men activities would keep her away from those responsibilities and this answers that it doesn’t. There is importance to small moments like these, even if they don’t fundamentally change Jean’s character for the better or worse. It might be as simple as Ewing didn’t think about it that way. We just don’t know, but we can’t act like Jean being there was not necessary.
