To be clear, Scott made no indication of having told Jean about what Emma was able to "pull off"; in fact, his dialogue indicates that she was not told. This brings me to my next point: Why would Emma have to pull anything off when Jean was right there? She may no longer be a Quiet Council Member but she's the person from which the clone, i.e., Madelyne, was derived. Shouldn't she have a greater say than any of them as to whether Madelyne should be resurrected? And to be clear, I think Jean would have supported the idea.
Even if we exclude his initial telepathic affair with Emma due to his comprised psychological state and her clinical malfeasance—let's get real: she was never and isn't an actual therapist—it has been and is being implied that he is also carrying on an affair with, or, to use your term, "dating," her (see the upcoming X-Men: Hellfire Gala cover). If that's the case, what's his excuse now? To be clear, you already know that I'm forgiving of these purported affairs between Jean and Logan and Scott and Emma because we've discussed how I rationalize them.
I do get you and adore you. You know that. Otherwise, we wouldn't chat everyday and I wouldn't have suggested that you 1) join this forum and 2) respond to the suggestion that Jean help Cable. I just think you defend and excuse Scott's behavior more than you do Jean, which is understandable since he is the character you relate to the most.
Haha! You are bad, Omega_DCD. I love it!
Indeed, he did.
I don't recall them mentioning Scott's mother in that issue, but I'd have to reread it to find out for sure. I think it is either stated or implied that she was named after Kitty Pryde, which makes absolute sense.
I trust you saw that it was posted after my reply.
I absolutely LOVE all of Jean's interactions in this issue. The way she playfully tries to claim Storm as hers—they all do—in the most endearing way. The way they—I think it's Bishop who says it—tell her that Kitty turned out "just like you." The way she tries coaxing Ororo to go back to the Institute. The way she and Ororo wash dishes together at the end. You can tell how much Claremont loves these characters, especially Jean and Ororo.
Hang on, Kitty! I know I come for you a lot, but I want you to be happy too! The next few months to a few years are going to be an utter trip for Jean, and I mean that in a positive way. Ultimately, I think we'll both be happy.
It really was. His work on Uncanny X-Men #140.5 (2021) is sublime.
Aw, thank you for saying this. I get Kitty, too, though they don't get me. I'm fine with that, though. In the end, as you noted, it's good to have diametrically opposed viewpoints. It makes for more interesting discussions.
