It's one thing for ...Adam, I know how you feel. It's one thing for a character that could have looked like anything to just steal Jean Grey's appearance. It's quite another for the writers to seemingly force Hope into Jean Grey's role as if a shitty replacement character can ever overshadow someone of Jean Grey's mythos. I'm expecting AvX to completely shit all over Jean Grey's character like Marvel always does. I'm willing to take that shit if the story turns out awesome.<br /><br />JackJack Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04929572842990203873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917870048446264335.post-37597985091311913192012-05-31T14:34:10.439-04:002012-05-31T14:34:10.439-04:00If there's one thing about AvX that bugs me, i...If there's one thing about AvX that bugs me, it's that not only is the series shaping up to completely downplay all of Jean Grey's history as Phoenix solely into the Dark Phoenix Saga (I know it's still early, but if Jean appears in a positive light at any time before the end of this event I will be genuinely surprised), but now they also seem to be elevating Hope to be flat out better than her. When I read AvX and some of the tie-ins it seems like Jean is frequently portrayed as a pampered wuss who "just couldn't hack it" with the cosmic entity, and Hope is the strong badass (raised by Cable, pretty much the epitome of everything I didn't like about 90's comics) who will host the force and become the bestest Phoenix ever. Bleh.<br /><br />I know that a lot remains left in the story, like what the Scarlet Witch's role will be, but I fear being annoyed by the way this plays out. I hope Marvel proves me wrong.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10016188508658731186noreply@blogger.com
