X-Men #2 preview

[JB]

theory: The person is trying to bait spirit2011 out for giggles.

conclusion: That sucks.

They seemed to have settled down. Or they're eating.

[PsychoEFrost]

I don't find it cute. But it was all on Scott, he had the family. Not Jean.

really how people thought was going to happen? there isn't 100% identical people around, specially meeting the ex-BF of a dead hero.



mesmero took over her.

And if something like that happened to Jean, you would burn this forum down.

[Havok83]

to be fair Taylor made every person not named Jean weak to prop up Jean.

The only person he did that to was Cassandra Nova.

It happened.

The different is that Jean is a established character, instead of a OC created to fullfill sinister (HA!) purposes. She could be anything.

I just find really awful that people use Rachel as a way to badmouth Jean, that tried her best to reconnect with Rachel.

I can go dig up posts of Spirit arguing with another user who suggested that Emma was not responsible because she was not married to Jean and Scott was the one who made that vow. So the hypocrisy in that argument is glaring.

In any event with the new polyamorous relationships I hope non-summers/grey blood can make this cast a bit more interesting

The Gold scene was blown way out of proportion. It was light shade. Rachel was being snarky and Jean gave it back to her. Im not seeing the contempt and vitriol that people seem to imply here. If Jean didnt care, she'd have hung up the phone on Kitty and told her to get Psylocke to deal with Rachel

[ExodusCloak]

Jean should have smacked Rachel across the face with one of the following items:

A rolling pin
A flip flop
A belt

Jean only made moves on Scott after Maddie was dead (she wasn't, but everyone thought she was). Emma tricked Scott saying it was therapy, of course it was a lie and fall into abuse territory

[Vegan Daddy]

Anyway, Wolverine is the real father so this whole preview is just off.

Thats not true. They kissed in a parking lot and Jean threw
herself at him right after be made the decision to go back to his wife

[Tenebrae]

This Hickman dialogue. I dont know man. They sound so...

Robotic? Stiff? Lifeless?

The lack of facial expressions don't seem to help though.

2) Can the dialog be made MORE robotic. I almost can believe these are functioning people talking, we can probably run the speech through Google translate a few more times.

The dialogue is just awful. It really brings me out of the story.

I vote for flip flop! Let's make a poll.

I wonder why Scott says, "that other place we don't normally speak of".

[Perfection/Emma 2]

It was therapy but Emma and Scott had ended up falling in love. Not saying it was right for Emma to become involved with a married man but she didn't trick him

[ExodusCloak]

Is the dialogue intentional? Its different to HoX/PoX dialogue. Everyone seems very Stepford, or like they've been replaced by green men

[Omega Alpha]

Never forget.

Tbh the XMen narrative will forever feel incomplete until they get around to doing a Madelyne redemption story. Not only Scott and Jean but even the XMen treatment of her is so nasty. I liked her 90s statu quo where she was hanging around in satellite books, having adventures with Cable and Nate Grey.

It is canon that Maddie is a rapist, though.
