She gets blamed for a lot of stuff she didn't do.
Stop and think about it. It's true.
Kinda makes her a victim character that way.
And that's odd because she began as a fem-empowerment character what with her being valued for her mind and not her body ... literally.
But people here on /co/ hate and fear her for the same reason she was a hated and feared mutant reject of fictional 616 society in issue #1 waaay back in the '60s : because she's an empowered woman.
That's just hilariously meta.

You, sir, have never red Lee's or Adams' X-Men.

She was literally the most uselles character, only useful when Professor X used her powers for her. She was never empowered or independent.

Is this the quality of current X-Fags?

I'm new and stupid, how does this "turn people gay" theory work?
Is it a variation of the classic misogynistic phobia of female influence upon one's own ridiculously insecure masculinity?
Is that why you don't want to be exposed to this female character?
Is THAT why you prefer really masculine men being as macho as possible?
Is it REALLY ... ?
Or is it a paranoid expression of virulent homophobia where you propagate the insult that homosexuality is an ailment to be inflicted as though it were a communicable disease?
That sounds more like it.
It seems like something /pol/ would advocate while wearing brown shirts and marching.
You /pol/ types DO like a dominant man in uniform.
But maybe it's something else...
Ever hear the phrase; "Me thinks he doth protest too much."?
Yeah, that's the one. It does explain the obsessive quality to these flamewar reposts, doesn't it?
After all, how can YOU ever let it go if you can never let go of what's inside you?

I think it's unfortunate that her character is forever overshadowed by one storyline and one plot device, namely the Phoenix.

Every continuity she's in she eventually succumbs once more to being a crazy fire goddess, and even in the main universe her character keeps falling back on it.

It was both the best and worst thing to ever happen to her, as it was a good story originally, but now it's all writers seem to be able to do with her.

It also cemented the Phoenix as a force of destruction that makes any body it possesses a huge asshole, even if that wasn't true for decades, the only aspect anyone uses anymore is "Oh shit, Phoenix is running wild again! What will we do!?"

It's all just a waste of storytelling potential.

X-men and their backstories are roles as characters confuse the shit out of me.

As far as I can tell, Jean Grey has no features but somehow was a character for years before they thought of the whole Phoenix thing.

Was she just to make a love triangle with Scott? I don't even know who the third angle is.
>>
>>93806224
A really flat and worthless character whose biggest claims to prominence are relationship drama and being possessed.
Jean was just "the girl" for the group that didn't have a strong personality or interesting gimmick, until she got possessed by the Phoenix and from that point on her entire character gravitated around it because, without it, there was just nothing there but relationship drama.

I personally have no idea what is the appeal of Jean Grey as a character apart from shipping fodder for Scott/Logan, but I'm sure whoever likes her is probably upset that she is defined by the Phoenix Saga. Which, for what it's worth, was a good saga.
But I think we can all agree is that, if Jean even had a personality or interesting character traits prior to the Phoenix, we would have seen them resurface by now. Tons of characters have gone through prominent evil phases, and they rarely stuck. But they did with Jean.

Face facts, virtually everything that's happened to X-Men from the late 90s onward has been a dumpster fire. Including your shitty OTP. Best thing Marvel could've done after Secret Wars 2015 rebooted the universe would've been to just retcon all that shit away.

See, that's the thing.
I can see why Jean fans are upset by how the Phoenix defines everything that she does and that happens to her, regardless of what media she's in. If I had a character I liked that one time went crazy with godlike superpowers, and that character became forever defined by this event, I'd be really pissed off too.
But you say Jean's character was forever overshadowed. And I ask you this: what is Jean Grey's character ?
If you remove the Phoenix (which doesn't add much), what is her character other than being a beloved and important figure in the lives of other characters, and being a girl stuck in a love triangle ?

They couldn't even if they wanted. Claremont ran that shit for almost 2 decades. He wanted Jean to be into stinky manlets, so he made it. It is now and forever one of her two only character traits.
>>
>>93808559
Also you gotta remember for like the first year after he was introduced we literally never saw under Wolverine's mask. The initial idea was to make him a young punk, it was a last-minute stroke of inspiration to make him a grizzled old dude. Likewise for the first stretch of his existence he was basically a joke character who existed to act like a cocky asshole and then get blasted over the horizon like Team Rocket.
>>
>>93808393
That's what makes it tragic, because she's never been allowed to grow beyond that basic archetype because she keeps getting derailed by the damn Phoenix.

She's got two settings, the wholesome, supportive and beloved saint of Xavier's, forever torn between her feelings for two men, or nihilistic crazy bitch that's gonna destroy us all.

If the Phoenix wasn't hanging over her like the Sword of Damocles then she possibly could have grown to be her own character. Hell, she could've been the Phoenix and still been her pwn character, cosmic adventures in space, hello!

But no, she went through all of that, and rather than using it as a springboard for real development, they just hit the hard reset button and said it was never her in the first place, but then it happened again anyway.

Thus, wasted potential. Marvel could have turned her into their premier female hero decades ago by letting her reign in and control the Phoenix, then maybe we wouldn't have to go through all this bullshit with Captain Marvel.

It just aggravates me when I see stories that could've been told but now can't be told due to massive editorial cock-ups.

I guess similar to the in-universe view of her I like the idea of Jean Grey; but that hasn't worked out well in reality. I think she was good during certain runs like Morrison, but overall she's been either underused or over romanticized in later years.
If she'd stayed dead she'd be remembered much more positively. The ret-con ultimately ruined her character even if there were still some good uses later.
Modern Nu-Jean is utter shit and an embarrassment for the brand.
I also feel like she's one of the characters with the most continuity issues; I feel like writers are constantly forgetting she wasn't the Dark Phoenix, and a variety of other errors.

I'mma be honest, didn't read past the first couple lines of what is probably a troll post, but as a serious answer regardless, it's just that "Bobby your gay" came out of nowhere, and young Jean has no clear moral compass in terms of power abuse so people just ascribe the sudden and seemingly random character change to her actions.

Actually, now that you mention it, Jean and Warren are exactly the same. Whitebread characters who's only notable story is going evil. The difference is no one gives a shit about Warren deservedly so, while everyone still makes a big deal about Jean.

Calm yourself, I'm not trying to defend Jean as she's been presented, because she's exactly as you say.

Logan being older than the other X-Men wasn't revealed until about a year after he joined the team, but "Jean is attracted to Logan" was a mid-1980s retcon Claremont added in the backup stories to the 'Classic X-Men' reprint book.

I see a lot of assholes here who don't read comics. This offends me.
I'm particularly offended by the dickshits who hate Jean for being female, and then claim she has no redeeming characteristics because she isn't busty and mindlessly obedient enough, or say they don't like her personality as they describe someone not portrayed in any comic.
It's almost as offensive as the idiots who can't read what Jean actually did in the comics and so make up bullshit to be offended by.
That's just offensive levels of illiteracy and delusion on display.

Jean is not the Phoenix. If you had read the comics you would know that. She might not even be telepathic. Like the Phoenix flame and reality-warping, the overpowered telepathy was a Phoenix trait.
And Jean didn't like Wolverine until the Phoenix possessed her, it's the Phoenix that Logan's in this love affair with. It's not Jean who's cheating on Scott.
So stop whining about how awful Jean is when you didn't even read the fucking comic and don't know who you're whining about.

Claremont's original plan for the Phoenix saga ended with the Phoenix being exorcised from Jean by the space aliens, allowing her and Scott to retire to Alaska. Wolverine, who had fallen in love with the Phoenix personality and not Jean, would leave the team heartbroken as the big loser of the love triangle. Professor X would stay in space to marry Lilandra and Claremont would have a book full of only his own original characters, just as he always planned.
Blaming only the female character for that storyline having never been resolved thanks to editorial meddling is just you idiots revealing your own fear and hatred of g-g-girls. Grow the fuck up.
Jean didn't ruin the Phoenix Saga. She wasn't even in it.
>>
>>93809935
>And Jean didn't like Wolverine until the Phoenix possessed her, it's the Phoenix that Logan's in this love affair with. It's not Jean who's cheating on Scott.
Claremont himself wrote stories of Pre-Phoenix Jean being attracted to Logan.
>>
>>93809935
She was even worst after coming back from the dead and revealing she was never Pheonix. She immediately started a love triangle between Angel and Scott instead.
>>
>>93809985
She met him twice before the Phoenix took her place, during and directly after the Krakoa story and during a Sentinel story that ended with her death and meeting the Phoenix. She had a very low opinion of Logan.
And after the Phoenix, she was never entirely Jean ever again.

>>93810006
Kinda forgetting a marriage there, aren't you?
>>
>>93810194
In the 80's Claremont wrote stories that took place before the Phoenix Saga and he made Jean attracted to Logan there.
>>
>>93810235
Phoenix saga? OR the Phoenix possession that took place between issue #100 and #101?
Because so far you seem to have trouble recognizing redheads and there was about 30 issues before Dark Phoenix.
"Jean" didn't even return to the X-Men, or the school, until after she was replaced, Wolverine was never there until that first Krakoa mission, when Jean quit the team along with the rest of the O5 supporting cast.
The abduction by the Sentinels and imprisonment in space was the next time she interacted with Logan, and they didn't get along at all in that story. And that story ended with the fateful shuttle ride.
>>
>>93810565
>Phoenix saga? OR the Phoenix possession that took place between issue #100 and #101?
>Because so far you seem to have trouble recognizing redheads and there was about 30 issues before Dark Phoenix.
"Classic X-Men #1" by Claremont. It happens chronologically before X-Men #94, before the Phoenix possession, and there Jean says with all letters that she is attracted to Logan.
>>
>>93809519
Wait, when did Peter kiss Sue?
>>
>>93810672
That's between leaving Krakoa in #93 and the opening of #94, where Logan rudely tells Jean to just leave the team.
Even if Jean liked him in some initial estimation, the feeling wasn't mutual.
And later on, in #100, Jean had some choice things to say about Logan.

Face it, it's a Phoenix/Logan thing, not a Jean/Logan thing.

Claremont showed Phoenixless Jean already thinking about cheating on Scott with Logan. She barely even knew the guy at the time, he treated her like a pig, and she was seriously considering leaving Scott for him. There's no Phoenix to blame here.

Face it: Claremont's attempts to make Jean three-dimensional made her shallow and weak-willed.

>>93819020
To be fair, even though Bendis was the one who destroyed Scott/Emma, Gillen was the one who planted the seed there for nothing but cheap drama. He holds some blame.
>>
>>93819094
You're not wrong. But I have rose tinted glasses when it comes to Kieron Gillen and his body of work.

The guy is just a great dude in general. I got to chat with him and artist Steven Sanders several years ago on the Marvel boards.

Both are great guys and super cool.
>>
>>93819150
I'm not saying he isn't a great guy, I'm just saying that his decision to insert some drama into Scott/Emma gave Bendis the means to destroy a couple that was perfect before the two.

Had Gillen stayed on X-Men, he would probably make Emma betray Scott for shit reasons, too.

They were happy together and their intimacy was bigger than possible. She lived inside his head and knew every thought of his, while never lying to him. Compare this to Scott/Jean.

That's why it was the perfect romance. Marriage is an archaic business transaction, growing old sucks, and Fuck children.

>>93821921
Do you think she ever told to Scott how many times she and Logan made out while she was with him?
>>
>>93821921
The 90s. When Psylocke was trolling Jean by flirting with Cyclops.

Psylocke is a telepathic, too. She knew how miserable Cyclops was with Jean.

Emma started fucking Cyclops to troll Jean. She used his need for intimacy to lure Cyclops into a psychic affair.
>>

>The 90s. When Psylocke was trolling Jean by flirting with Cyclops.

Scott wasn't miserable because of Jean, he was miserable because he had to send his son on a one-way trip into the future to save his life.

He was then even more miserable because he thought his son had returned as Stryfe.

Disagree. Emma treats the cuckoo's with with love and adoration and they're pretty much her children. Having kids changes people especially women. The world looks very different when you have skin on it's future.

I'd even argue that Emma would happily retire of she can teach children. People seem to forget that with all of Emma's fault the love of teaching has always been consistent with her
>>
>>93820869
This >>93827138
She says so many times how much she loves teaching, and she'd probably be ecstatic to marry Cyke, settle down and have kids with him.

As usual though Marvel can't do anything good, see Spidey and MJ, so their relationship is broken, Cyke is killed and I have no idea what's happening with Emma. I fucking love the X-Men and always will, but I haven't touched anything X-related ever since I got back into comics and witnessed AvX.
>>
>>93819654
She already looks pretty pudgy based on the art.
>>
>>93827249
To add, doesnt Scott and Emma have kids in the House of M timeline? Well I guess that irrelevant coz they're not even muties and are not subject to experiences of being one. Also is there any panels on how mutant reproduction works? Are 2 muties going to have a mutie kid 99% of the time?

>Marvel doing anything good.

I'm gonna sound /pol/ here but Marlel seems to have something against long happy monogamous relationships. Is Reed and Sue the only one left? They ruined Scott and Jean, Scott and Emma, Havok and Polaris, Ororo and BP, Medusa and BB maybe countless others I'm missing
>>
>>93806224
Jean is Life, Jean is Love.
>>
>>93827442
I think there is a chance muties can have non-mutie kids, but idk. I would read the fuck out of a comfy comic where Cyke works a 9-5 job and Emma raises their kids. God, what the fuck has happened to Marvel. I'm gonna re-read Claremont's run starting today.
>>
>>93827442
>Happy and monogamous relationships

As a matter of fact, YES, they very much do have something against them.
Look at their major characters: every great Marvel character has a tragic love story in their past.
Spidey has ... had Gwen.
Banner had Betsy Ross.
Cap had Buck- ... Peggy Carter.

It's a storytelling gimmick. Soap opera stuff.
That's how they reel you in, these emo love triangles and dramatic twists.

And poor Scott has that dead girlfriend who he just can't let go of. Of course, the twist being...

>>
>>93828901

I think Jean + Phoenix is a great character, but almost divine, and Goku-Superman tier in powerlevel.
For Scott to sleep with her in that state, it would be like sleeping with Galactus. She became completely unrelatable. Her true husband is the Phoenix, not Scott. Scott was getting cucked by a bird.
>>
Jean Grey is the worst fictional character ever created.
>>
>>93827442
>>93828452

In House-of-M Scott and Emma didn't have any kids, but Emma did work with kids as a therapist of some sort.
(and don't believe the wiki, Scott was not a pilot)

But mutants sometimes have human offspring,
Mystique and Sabretooth had Graydon Creed,
Quicksilver and the Inhuman Crystal had a human baby together.
(whatever happened to that brat?)

X-genes don't always activate.
>>
>>93829302
>Quicksilver and the Inhuman Crystal had a human baby together.
>(whatever happened to that brat?)
Following House of M Quicksilver was one of the mutants who lost his powers. He stole the crystals that produce the Terrigen Mists from the Inhumans and used them to restore his own powers, and then he used them to give Luna powers as well.
Apprently Terrigen Mist activates dormant X-genes, as he also used it to give a bunch of other mutants their powers back, but most (or maybe even all, I haven't read this story in a long time) lost control of their powers and died as they were much stronger than before.
>>
>>93829302
>>93829490

that is one of the problems of the Wanda not Magneto's daughter retcon. Wanda herself depowered Quicksilver in House of M.

Anyway, Wanda being an overpowered reality manipulator, may simply have changed reality to make Magneto not longer her (and hers brother) father.
