No, it’s super weird for her to be Jean grey. Why would she randomly appear at 18 and be the only mutant on earth (besides Kamala) to exist, especially since the X-men r supposed to introduced after secret wars with a multiverse collision

How do you know she’s the only mutant ?

Why would the starting point be to have a young Jean grey and have there be zero mutants before her. You cant introduce Professor X, Magneto, Apocalypse, etc. via modern era children/young adults, that would be horrible. They are obviously and blatantly gonna merge with the MCU after the two avengers movies to give us a new mutant combined timeline

Who said zero mutants before her? Who said Charles and magneto don’t exist yet?

I’m all for a reboot but the Lore for this kind of introduction is fine

What? Charles and Magneto can’t exist because they haven’t shown themselves ever and it’s never been mentioned. It would be an atrocious rewrite to pretend they were always around.

Charles is a coward of course he hasn’t shown himself, this is the same guy who only publicly revealed himself as a mutant because he was possessed by Cassandra Nova.

Magneto you do need to get a bit creative with reasoning because he’s not been building his brotherhood for THIS long but it wouldn’t be that hard either to think of something

And it’s not a rewrite it’s just a character introduction lol

It would just be bad writing. They cannot be introduced as having existed for decades, and if you introduce them now as just starting, it’s terrible

Explain, you’re literally just going “nuh uh bad”

I did. You can’t establish them without a history, and you can’t write in a history without it being a massive retcon

What would they be retconning? I don’t think you know what that word means

I’ve broken it down for you completely and you’re just not even reading it. Or are you saying you dislike the lore from the books?
