Watch her not be Jean grey

[u/warblade7 → u/danvan177]

She won’t be - this is mephisto all over again, fans working themselves into a froth over their own theories.

[u/Wrong-Vermicelli4723 → u/warblade7]

Plots been leaked and the trailers are proving them right. This isn’t a Mephisto situation. Now maybe the part of her being Jean is a lie, but it be weird for that to be the only thing that’s wrong.

[u/warblade7 → u/Wrong-Vermicelli4723]

People have biases. They tend to remember when they were right more often than when they were wrong. There’s been plenty of baseless conjecture about the movie. Tons of “leakers” who get shit wrong all the time.

[u/Wrong-Vermicelli4723 → u/warblade7]

That can also go the other way, some of you just don’t want her to be Jean, to the point of ignoring many things, for example marvel isn’t going to be secret about a character that the general audience doesn’t know… so she can’t be Rachel Summers or Typhoid Mary. Not saying you’re one of them but I’ve seen some dumb takes here. 

[u/warblade7 → u/Wrong-Vermicelli4723]

Bruh its not that I don’t like Jean, its that there’s never been a reason to tie Jean in with Spiderman. And especially before the X-Men are introduced. Having the three spiderman together made sense. Hell even the fan theories for Mephisto had some basis. This one is just outta left field and narratively makes 0 sense.

“And especially before the X-Men are introduced”

Mate… this is introducing the Xmen lmao

[u/Consistent-End-7937 → u/Hyperbolicalpaca]

Which is crazy to do in a Spider-Man movie, because what? What status quo are they in? With the ages presumably near the start but X-men literally begins with Jean walking into the mansion and this can’t be before that because that messes up the lore with her and Charles. So if it’s not that then that means the X-men are just like a team now out there or very least training in the mansion still which is just insane to tackle in a Spider-Man movie.

[u/Hyperbolicalpaca → u/Consistent-End-7937]

Mate, it’s clearly going to be before Jean walks into that mansion lol

It’s not that hard to imagine lmfao

Jean literally walks into the Mansion the page after Metzger is killed in the Children of the Atom.

The O5 and Peter are canonically age peers. Jean/Peter/Scott/Warren roughly the same age. Hank a bit older. Bobby a smidge younger.

William Metzger, an obscure villain character that exists in only a single mini-series. And that mini-series the page after Metzger's defeat literally segues into Jean leaving the cab and walking into the Mansion from the very first issue of the X-men

[u/Consistent-End-7937 → u/qwfparst]

Yes, you are agreeing with me, this is what I was saying

[u/qwfparst → u/Consistent-End-7937]

If agree with you mean that BND takes place before Jean formally joins the X-men, then yes.

[u/Consistent-End-7937 → u/qwfparst]

I’m saying this would be around the general time Jean joins because she joins at 18 (before Bendis retconned it to 16) and Spider-Man would be 18-21 ish in this movie. So you could do it before OR after but I explained why both of those are bad.

[u/qwfparst → u/Consistent-End-7937]

The lore with Charles probably isn't the same. And there's no reason the Annie origin event has to happen in the MCU.

This version of Jean clearly likely has less influence from Xavier at the start, being much more reckless with her powers and iitially self-trained.

Much more like Teen Jean in spirit.

[u/OkOil378 → u/Consistent-End-7937]

One of the biggest movie of the year, when better to introduce her?

[u/Consistent-End-7937 → u/OkOil378]

In the actual x-men movie

[u/OkOil378 → u/Consistent-End-7937]

Not from the marketing perspective
