Hmmmm... I remember Cyclops, Storm, Nightcrawler, And Kitty (sort of) leading in the years of Jean's death. I remember Scott having to be talked into facing his life and moving on by his friends and teammates several times. I also remember Wolverine being there through it all as the heart and soul of the team, and he missed Jean just as much as Scott.
he did miss her, but i doubt he knew and loved her as much as scott did... he loved her with every inch of his being... and he'd been with her, he'd felt her love in return... i'm surprised he was able to continue at all after losing her...
What animal desire? How about the animal desire to bang the first hot chick who came after him in his moments of crisis? You would think a little alarm would have went off in his head when Emma was even dressed as Jean in their little "counseling session". Maybe the reason he THOUGHT instead of KNEW Jean wouldn't help him is because he never bothered to talk to her.
He'd tried with jean, but he knew, just like always, that her temper would never allow her the patience required... and a psychic affair is a hell of alot different to a physical one. I'm not saying he's innocent, just that its different, and a hell of alot more confusing...
They have both done their fair share of pushing people who are attracted to them away. I think there have been more male X-Men who have had the hots for Jean at one time or another than not. I also remember her telling Logan to go away more than once, but nobody can make him do something he's not willing to do. Maybe Scott should have stepped in and done something about Wolverine. It's not like Wolverine was hiding his feelings or intentions from anybody. I would have done my best to make life hell for him if he that was my wife.
I'd say scott wanted to, but this was the x-men, he had to set an example, and i dont think xavier would've reacted to both of them trying to kill each other in front of all the other students...
X-Men #117 was complete garbage. You have followed Jean and Scott through the years, can you tell me Jean has ever given you any reason to think she would be anything less than faithful to Scott? Logan (among others) has been trying to weasel his way into her heart for over twenty years and because one writer has her give in to his advances now she is a ****?
She was lonely... scott had turned away because he felt unloved, so they both had the same problem, and i have followed it, and i know that jean, while loving scott, has always had something inside her for logan...
This is just like Spider-Man beating Firelord: the event never should have happened because anybody who knows the characters knows that there is no possible way it could have happened. Firelord would drop a train on Spidy without breaking a sweat and Jean's love for Scott is too strong for her to give in to any physical attraction for Logan. Scott on the other hand, has exhibited selfish behavior time after time even putting his own personal feelings before those of his only child. Scott is a deadbeat dad, crappy husband and has no idea what the word "commitment" means.
Thats one way of looking at it (if a bit excessive with the whole firelord thing ๐)... yet he loved jean enough to run back to her from maddie... he was stuck in the middle, and i know what thats like, its incredibly hard to choose... eventually he did choose... he had always loved jean more, so he went for her... he's been commited enough to follow cable to the future and help raise him... to lead the x-men for god knows how many years... to come back to jean even though betsy was throwing herself at him, to come back even though he was with maddie...
commitment can be different from certain points of view... ๐
look, i don't mean to be rude, but i've argued this same argument over and over since i first read new x-men, and no offence, but i feel like its always the same points between me and the person i'm debating with... i do consider your points well put together and have nothing but respect for you, but seriously, how about we just agree to disagree?
