While I'm not invested one way or another, I still think I can safely say, "Speak for yourself." A fictional couple doesn't become iconic or a recurring aspect across multiple adaptations of a work if "no one" wants to see it.
YOU may not like them together, but that doesn't change the fact that Scott and Jean are THE iconic X-couple.
Yeah. Okay. Super iconic to the point where everyone, writers included, is always trying to ship them with someone else. But sure. Different strokes for different folks. We can agree on that at least. Or agree to disagree re: the “iconicness” of Jott.
And yet it's followed them across EVERY adaptation outside of the comics and a whopping majority of the AUs. Even the over-emphasis on Jean and Logan in the FoX-Men films relied on Jean being "Forbidden Fruit" because of Scott. There is no "agree to disagree," and I'm sure as hell not going to listen to Jordan "I Would Break Up Lois And Clark Because I Live For Toxic Soap Opera Drama" White when it comes to ANYTHING regarding comic book relationships. And it's sure as hell not "every" writer, because even recent books have clearly established that any other relationships Scott and Jean have are only ever going to be sidetracks (maybe you missed that panel of Scott and Jean ignoring Emma and Logan at the end of AoXM).
Also saying two fictional characters who you can write any way you want don't have chemistry is wrong.
The Jean & Scott thread created this year has 149 pages. The one from 2017 went for 247. But sure, no one wants to see them lol.
Yeah 100% on writers. For choosing a incompatible ship or ruining a good one
I think we also need to see that long relationships aren't like new or the "will or they won't do'. it is a different dynamic
Lois & Clark were separated by the same reasons, also MJ and Peter Parker.
It didn't made the couples less iconic
The reason I don't want to see Jott again i sbecause writers burned too many bridges
On that same coin, we only have what’s written to go by. I can’t enjoy a couple speculating how some other writer could *maybe* make it more interesting. Their best, worst, and especially longest running writers influence that opinion the greatest.
I think Romy probably has the biggest fluctuation in chemistry by writer but the other major X-Couples are pretty consistent for me.
And to me they had lots of chemistry though. They always worked together perfectly fine for me(so did Emma and Scott at a time) honestly it's really comes down to personal preference.
Well looks like you get your wish. Scott and Jean appear to be together. And with Logan and Emma too. Ha. Best of all worlds I suppose...
My question is, when they are ready for the next Cyclops story, do both Jean and Emma go evil and die or do they split the duties?
