She should lead a team or be a commander, on the same level as the Cyclops, but not with him
Who will be in the place of Apoc and Jean? I imagine Shaw should be leaving soon ...

Ommadon: “By summoning all the dark powers I will infest the spirit of man So that he uses his science and logic to destroy himself. Greed and avarice shall prevail, and those who do not hear my words shall pay the price. I'll teach man to use his machines, I'll show him what distorted science can give birth to. I'll teach him to fly like a fairy, and I'll give him the ultimate answer to all his science can ask. And the world will be free for my magic again.”
I am a bit bummed to see Jean no longer a part of the Quiet Council. I liked her having a seat there, and being a part of the choices that shaped Krakoa. However, her motivation behind it was very true to form. I also really enjoyed her talk with Kurt, and how she didn't want him to leave. Jean knew him leaving would make things unbalanced, and she was able to recognize that. Overall, the ending was nice for Jean, and X-Men in particular was a nice character issue for her.
Her losing a Council seat would only be bad if her fate was left nebulous but we know there are plans for her, so this is exciting. The change will help keep her from feeling stagnant as she can now move onto a new story beat as her voice and agency is why she isnt with the Council or X-Force anymore. This was needed as we are seeing cracks in Krakoa with not everyone seemingly being on board for all things that are done by those in charge. Jean is now on the "outside" and that puts her in a unique position to question and call things up in a way that she wasnt able to when she was rolling with the majority. I'm really am more optimistic about her future now in a way that I wasnt when we were first introduced to her in HOX. XOS set up the next phase of her arc quite well IMO

Jean shouldn't even roll with majority, she was always outspoken. This is just Hickman writing for the plot

I wonder if she will move over to SWORD...as she already has limited working knowledge and experience on the station.

If it were the x men red costume, it would make a perfect wallpaper '' to me, my x-men ''
That moment where Scott permits Jean to say "to me my X-Men"?
Chef's kiss.
