I just pretend it is because it's easy enough to do and doesn't really invalidate any of the older stuff even though it often works better than the older stuff.

It's basically like DC's Earth One books. Don't get me wrong. I fucking love that book and seeing Jean on an iPhone was pretty awesome. But it doesn't apply here or make the shit surrounding the time difference any less egregious.<br /><br />And I hope you're right about the situation with Jean and Hank. This does clearly take place before Battle of the Atom, before Jean saw Cyclops without his shirt on and got her panties all moist. Having Beast this smitten with a woman who clearly is nothing like Jean Grey seems to indicate he was just infatuated with her like most boys are when there's only one pretty girl in their midst. Hope that means this relationship built on a bullshit premise is killed like liver cells at an Ozzy Osborne concert.<br /><br />JackJack Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04929572842990203873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917870048446264335.post-78871005672256683182013-10-03T11:12:24.303-04:002013-10-03T11:12:24.303-04:00I enjoyed this, logical leaps in proper time and a...I enjoyed this, logical leaps in proper time and all that. Marvel just tends to twist things to make whatever story they want to tell work. Here the 05 are from a more innocent time; in X-Men Season 1 Jean had an iPhone. Oh well.<br /><br />I'm also thinking this issue is foreshadowing a Jean and Hank "breakup" that probably won't be that big a deal. Beast is finding out perhaps he wasn't as interested in Jean romantically as he thought he was which I think is fair. Until recently for him she was the only cute girl in a house full of teenage guys. Now that the world has blown wide open he may find other pastures to plow. And while Jean swears up and down she doesn't love Scott, particularly knowing how their future together turns out, recent BotA issues show she may not be able to resist regardless.<br /><br />Looking forward to the rest of this mini-arc.Adamnoreply@blogger.com
