*confused*
Why do people blame Morrison for Jean's death when he left her in perfectly good health at the end of his run?
What "Status Quo"?
We are talking about a line that always feels like it is in flux, and a bigger picture where "The Complex" is actually a thing.
Jean was already dead by the time of Phoenix Endsong.
And his run ended in New X-men #154, after the end of the "Here Comes Tomorrow" arc, not before.
Another Jean/Logan shipper ?. Besides, Jean and Emma vs Logan and Scott it would cause more drama.
No she was dead. She resided in the WHR. Think of that as where she crossed over to after death. In present day 616, she was dead. The very last scene of his run had Scott and Emma making out over her grave. Wow, you really thought he left her alive in his run these past 12 years?
Exactly. If Jean was alive in the time between her death and and "Here Comes Tomorrow", the Phoenix Force would not have created a Phoenix Five.
What we can safely assume is Jean's "Soul/Essence/Whatever" is inside of the M'Kraan Crystal. Since the Crystal is a nexus of many universes, you'd need actual proof of her physical existence for her to still be "Alive" and well at the end of "Here Comes Tomorrow".
Which is before you even have to be able to -
- Conclusively prove that whatever came out of the Phoenix Egg is indeed "Our Alive" Jean to say "Jean was alive and well at the end".
- Explain how "Our Alive" Jean lives through sanitizing the timeline that leads up to her being "Alive and well" at the end of "Here Comes Tomorrow".
