Jean Grey / Phoenix Appreciation 2023: “A Red Dragon”

[Chenpion]

spoilers:

I'm surprised she had five words for Scott (considering they made plans to step away from the X-Men together to work on their marriage and future) but six times as much to say to Logan. I know Wolverine's the more badass and "fun" guy (especially considering the situations the boys were in), but that seemed off to me.

The HFG made me wanna pick up her solo. I hope Bernard Changs art is up to snuff.

[BESTXMAN]

I'm pretty damn sure Jean isn't dead and will be resurrected by the Phoenix at the end of her miniseries.

[GeneTitan]

I'm going to call it now:

spoilers:

Jean's mini all takes place during her final moments as she dies during the Hellfire Gala attack. I'm hoping the ending will be her coming back as the Phoenix again finally.

I agree with this. I think it's the most logical and compelling story.

I cannot lie, I find another Jean Grey death rather lazy writing. Wished they would have found another way to slow her down. Like teleporting her into another dimension.........

[davetvs]

I don't mind it, Jean is the Phoenix. Death and rebirth is part of her whole thing.

[Phoenixx9]

I don't mind it, Jean is the Phoenix. Death and rebirth is part of her whole thing.

...but only if they bring Jean back--and quickly!

Any delay, especially like the last 15 year death of Jean, was horrendously ridiculous, inappropriate and a mega-disservice to Jean fans, as well as to the character herself!!

Jean leaving the X-men to save her marriage seemed dumb

Except that's not what happened. She decided to leave the X-Men. She told Scott if...if...he is of the same mind not to stay with the X-Men then he can seek her out. Nothing in that conversation mentioned "saving the marriage". The one has nothing to do with the other. She's not leaving the X-Men because their marriage hit a bump.

According to JDW, I was right and she was leaving the X-men for her marriage

Right...but any word about Jean now that she is dead? Like will she be returning? Anytime soon??

LOL...well yeah. She has a whole book coming out and i dont imagine she will remain dead by the end of it

All she did was tell him what to do. She doesn't have to tell Scott what to do, not to mention he can't do anything in his present state.

LOL, now that you mention that book....

....my concern is that Jean will be doing things on the Astral Plane/WHR to fix things, which is fine, but I want Jean to return to E-616.

I do not want Jean to stay in the WHR after she fixes things, like they had her do before for 15 real-time years. IYKWIM.

I dont think that will happen with JDW in charge. Jean is more important to their brand now than she was in the New X-men era and its aftermath

I think you are correct and I agree. I am hopeful that we will see Jean ALIVE and Powerful again.

I guess I am still traumatized by that LONG period of time without Jean. LOL

(I could never believe how long it went on! I even remember the SDCC of 2008 when the big Marvel news about Jean was that "Jean will return, but in a story that we do not want to rush. Keep an eye out......" and then it took them another 10+ years.)

I can't believe they killed off Jean Grey again. I was like...oh man, Phoenix and Mercury are going to freak...either that or celebrate the possibility of The Phoenix making a huge return to comics that doesn't involve Galactus' Mom.
