The best adaptation of Jean Grey by far because she's not a damsel in distress or stuck in a love triangle with Scott and Logan she is simply a likable character who serves as an older sister figure to the X-men.
@@erikbihari3625 Not exactly the same, though; Scott never shows romantic feelings for Rogue, so the romance is very one-sided in contrast to Wolverine-Jean.
@@OpticalSorcerer. Why would Jean get attracted towards Logan? His centuries older than her,violent bordering psychopathy, and for most iterations only went for memory fix! The fact that Scott not into Rogue makes the triangle more barable, because you not only have zero doubts who must you root for, but the fact that Rogue throws herself funny!
@@erikbihari3625 I don't remember how they got together, but despite being super old, Logan looks young, so him being older isn't a huge issue. Plus he isn't always depicted as violent and aggressive, as he's shown his softer side with Jean. And since Rogue's feelings are not requited, it's not a true love triangle, since by definition, it's two people competing for one person's affections, but Jean and Rogue never compete, and Scott isn't torn between them.
POSITIVE : What I love about the X-men evolution series ( particularly with YOUNG JEAN ) was that her powers evolved slowly and steadily. It never felt rushed. Season 1 she could barely move a couch but by season 3 not only is she stopping a train but she's taking helicopters out of the sky. She also becomes more confident in her power and less afraid of her mishaps defining her.
Jean is my favorite X men member and I loved this version of her because she had so much character development, her powers were strong, she didn't have (or rely on ANY Phoenix Force), and there were no weird love triangles with Wolverine because she's literally a teen in this series before turning 18. The audio visual representation of her telekinesis and telekinetic shield were my fav.
I really appreciate how they gave Jean actual character in this show and genuinely made her and Scott an endearing and likeable couple; not to say that there haven't been good adaptions of Jean, but this depiction of her just really liked more. I liked how she was basically the big sister of the X-Men and wasn't just a static character, or an object/damsel in distress or in some dumb love triangle with her, Scott or Logan, especially since she was a high schooler in this show. I also really liked that they weren't tempted to adapt the Phoenix Saga, as even though we get hints of it, they still focused on her struggles and strengths and developed her relationship with Scott in a very cute and organic way.
Being a teenager saved her from the love triangle plot line for a bit, but they still had some of that with that athlete guy they made up (should've been Warren, imo)
XME was the best depiction of many characters, but especially for Jean and Scott as individuals. Usually they’re always presented as a near-conjoined twin entity, and don’t function without the other present. Not only does this show give them both extremely well presented and individual personalities, but they naturally and organically build their relationship in a way that makes the viewer root for them. They don’t feel clumped or fixed together as they are in other shows. Jean has incredible development. I like how she’s more of a human, and less a bag of tropes, fainting and in need of rescuing, tiring and collapsing dramatically from using the smallest display of power. She’s a regular person. Not the static mother of the group that never changes. She grows and changes. And on a quick side note, _this_ Jean, while as emotionally mature and demure as she usually is presented, actually has a much feistier personality. She snaps at people, gets annoyed and gets petty at times. She makes mistakes. It’s possibly the only depiction I’ve seen of Jean on the screen that shows her as a human being. Not an idealised cliche. On the note of power, we see her struggle with levitating small objects at the start and grow exponentially in power, to the point where she’s holding building and stopping city-block explosions without breaking much of a sweat. No question, of all the X-Men cartoons, this is the very best and definitive version for me. She’s just so damn likeable, competent and powerful. And all this _without_ relying on the crutch of Phoenix!
Fully agree! I love how it shows how powerful she is even without the phoenix ! It really makes you throw some respect on her name and she’s equally balanced out with her telepathy and telekinesis.
The thing is about jean her arc doesn’t end with the dark phoenix saga it actually starts because after the phoenix she goes on a long journey of a realizing she’s the phoenix and owen to the phoenix mistakes and accepting that she is the phoenix along side some serious relationship issues with scott The adoptions don’t get to that arc cuz it starts after she dies in the dark phoenix saga the movies and tv shows just kills her off when they do the phoenix saga and then either the show ends or they just forget about her
The worst part has always been the creepy triangle with wolverine, Jean and cyclops. This show was a godsend, aging her down and removing that option altogether. The dynamic with wolverine, Jean and Scott is so much better like this. She's actually allowed to breathe. Also, couple of points where the audio isn't balanced. Like the show audio overtakes your dialogue.
Yeah, the comments are doing a far better job of doing the topic of the video than he did here. This felt like an overly extended backhanded compliment.
Exactly like he didn't talk about how amazing she is he didn't talk about you need the struggle she had in the first season he just talks about how boring she is and how she's there to elevate other characters and I'm just like did you even watch the show.
She was well developed character,we show her grow more and more powerful. She was capable and powerful but still vulnerable. When she lost her trophies when she was outed as a mutant we felt for because we understand her character. As well this might be the onlt healthy depiction of her and Scott's relationship and the only that went to the trouble of developing their relationship unlike every other adaptation just has their relationship being established as default.
Jean from X-Men: Evolution was my favorite version. The sound effect for her telekinesis was perfect. I wanted to see Dark Phoenix, but it was canceled.
Not a fan of the sponsor. AI is too problematic from a art perspective to be something you'd accept as a sponsor, especially how clashing it is to your channel's theme, directly analyzing and appreciating the work of the artists in these works. It's something best to avoid in the future.
Whilst I enjoy the soap opera-esque love triangle of Scott, Jean and Logan in the comics and 90s show, Evolution's version of Jean feels the most modern and realistic when watching the show. Shame we didn't get to see Evolution's version of Phoenix that would have been awesome 🔥
I’m at the end of the video and still waiting to hear what Evolution got right about Jean? LOVE this show (and Jean) so this felt more like a bash session and back handed compliments
if we ignore the visuals, shinier telepaths can mean not just emma but xavier too jean grey really needed that help man character has had a tough run in comics
In general a lot of media (especially with magic characters) always misinterpret psionic abilities. People just assume that someone can move a buildings as soon as they get the telekinesis ability ( or that everyone even gets to even do that). Jean is an overt case where we constantly see her portrayed improperly with not just her powers but her personality its either one extreme weak or one extremely strong.
Jean Grey in the original animated series, was never useless. She may not have been accurately represented, but she was never useless. Actual comic readers know how incredibly powerful she really is. Jean in the original animated series when featured, had her feats, it’s just very unfortunate that majority of people don’t see all the good she did-instead, choosing to see the other. She helped Rogue, stopped the Juggernaut, saved the captured X-Men in Mojoverse, found Apocalypse’s underground layer, helped save the universe as Phoenix, saved Gambit’s people from being killed by the X-Ternal, etc. She did her part. Jean is a great character. She’s not perfect, but she is the definition of what a hero is.
But theirs just as much (if not more) times of her completely passing out from the bare minimum or just being useless in combat (the morlock episode). I Agree she wasn’t completely useless but compared to how they portrayed the other X-Men she definitely wasn’t the best.
actual comic readers know she wasnt always depicted as incredibly powerful and fainted all the time........they are also skipping over all the things jean DID do to talk about what she didnt do. they are also leaving out the prof. he was back at the mansion with jean. being "useless" but no one is talking about him.........#obviouslywhy #typical
I think X men evolution had Jean grey done right she is seen as a capable person in both battle and empathetic seeing her being the big sister to the group was good but I think she could’ve needed actual character development in the series but still the best version of her and their being no Love triangle between her Scott and Logan.
This was my first exposure to Jean grey and she was unit in this version. Easily the strongest of the team on the teens. I was appalled to see how useless she was in the 97 show despite her being a near goddess
Another great video to make my day better. Yeah it's sad that a lot of adaptations of X-Men fumble the characters. Scott, Jean and Storm in the movies. Jean gets it the worse because she is one of Marvel's most powerful characters, like with Superman in most of his shows, they have to nerf her. This Jean i really like because she acts mature and tries to be the voice of reason but still succumbs to immaturity. Her relationships with people in the school is one my favorites either it be with Duncan, her BF, or Blob who gets interested in her that he kidnaps her. Also her being a star student would make sense. I do love, like Scott, she has major big sibling energy and tries to be there for everyone. Also no Jean X Wolverine is always a plus.
@@Venxouscan you do the same with Professor X and his son in this series and Venom from Spectacular Spider-Man because I’m pretty confused on why he hated Peter Parker because was it the lack of honesty or was it about the parents or was it a weird sense of entitlement?
This is still my favorite version of Jean, yes even including X-Men 97. She just felt capable and confident in herself here in a way that she never did in other adaptations. That said, she definitely shines more in later seasons than the first one.
NEGATIVE : The problem with this show is that it didn't get to spend enough time focusing on solely Jean. . It 's always about how she affects those around her, often as like the "cool perfect big sister archetype" which is funny when she is both deeply insecure/ scared of her growing powers. Jean is one of those characters that becomes POWERFUL AND (secretly) LOVES IT. Her psionic abilities surpass even that of even Xavier so much so that it hurts they're ( mentor -- mentee) relationship they have. Telepathies are inherently dangerous, considering that they slowly become more comfortable with invading people's minds without permission. Young Jean and Xavier tried to never cross that line but over time both become morality grey when it comes to controlling minds.
Good afternoon. I'm fan of jean grey👩🦰🔥❤️🔥🦸♀️ and x men evolution series and x men the animated series. Everyone have great day and next day and week and weekend and next week and full happiness 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊. Great video and keep make more great videos. I enjoy this video.
This is what KILLS me about you RUclipsrs….have the nerve to post a video saying this series got her character right when in reality ALL series had her character right! You literally just said your comic book knowledge on her is very minimum NEWS FLASH this is exactly how her character is! Comics are the main source of who these characters are and how they were created. If this is your favorite version of Jean fine but all the things you claim you don’t like is really actually apart of her storyline from a child to her own death!
Not for Jean specifically even though I really like her in this show, I really can’t wait for you to get to the next seasons. After Season 1 you can tell the writers were free of the network shackles and could really flex more of what they were capable of
I think we need a video about Wonder Woman (tv shows/movies) what they got right about her characterization/relationships/combat prowess/flaws/what needs to be done next if they want to relaunch her within the new DC cinematic universe
Just because I don’t like her doesn’t mean I can’t recognize when a character is done exceptionally well. So yeah i think she’s done near perfectly but…I just am not a fan of Jean in any media really
@@VenxousSo this just proves you don't know the character at all cause you said Emma was more complex than Jean which isn't even close to the truth. This adaptation of jean isn't even close to how young Jean actually is. Obviously this adaptation tries to combine young and adult jean but young Jean is not the older sister and never was even when she was an adult. she's the youngest who is very self righteous, a violent bully, careless, a hypocrite, more free and assertive but still empathetic compared to her adult counterpart who is still all of these things but a more toned down of her younger self
Yeah I say this Evolution teen girl version of Jean Grey is my favorite! As you said she was sorta like a big sis to some of the others. What I also liked was the fact that at the start Jean was dating someone else and she and Scott were just friends until season 3. This was the only time I didn't ship Jean with Logan cause she was the teen and he was the adult working with Xavier looking out for them.
Just putting it out there, I don't remember any of them thinking about one another as pseudo-siblings. Kitty and Rogue talked about the hot guys in the team often (like Scott, which Kurt would tease them about). Kurt and Evan also talk about the girls on the team and tease Scott about his relationship with Jean regularly.
This x men is definitely my favorite when Jean lift that dam water and stop a train and almost stopping an explosion man I loved this Jean. Basically everyone in this show and storm theme is so great in this show I love it
Decent video, and I get being sponsored, you should absolutely be compensated for the time and effort you put into these videos. But of all possible sponsors, did you really have to accept the AI one? That's not something anyone should support.
I'm thankful for X-men: Evolution because I didn't know Jean Grey could be a capable mutant as I always seen her in the early X-men as getting easily getting knocked out by other characters or by her own powers and I wished she stayed the Phoenix because she was basically a Goddess in that form.
16:27 For whatever Jean-ius reason Anyway, I do love Jean in this show. Often times I look at characters like how I look at people. What would I think or feel interacting with this character? Yeah, she doesn't have much going on, but she's lovely. As someone who tries to be responsible and levelheaded, I think I would really enjoy talking to her. And yeah, i am somewhat biased towards the big sister type characters. She's not really perfect, she's a teenager after all, but they're more subtle. I do agree I would have enjoyed some episodes that focus on her and the toll everything takes on her, similar to the Ben 10 Ultimate Alien episode "It's Not Easy Being Gwen". Since Gwen Tennyson and Jean Grey are both green eyed redheaded overachievers with similar powers, to some extent, that fill the role of voice of reasoning. And with her sad situation of other appearances... I haven't watched the 90s X-Men in a while... but god I do not look forward to rewatching that. Because from what I remember... between Jean always fainting and being essentially an object, and Jubilee... I feel I'd be so frustrated. It's funny in a sad way that if you look up "Jean Grey is" on RUclips, you get a "useless" video for the 90s one, and a "useful" one for Evolution
If cyclops can want to date Jean so can spike plus he just got there, i doubt very highly spike would ever think a 6 foot redhead Barbie would be his sister, Dude never really felt like he fit in anyway.
Like u I hate Jean as a character, this is my favorite X-men adaptation and show in general, and I been planning on doing an entire season review for each season. Can u offerAny tips or pointers or suggestions ?
ay yo i thought i might bring it up but the parts where you play the audio from the show for a brief second mesh with your actual voice audio and overlaps and i cant tell whats being said by either you or the clip
Honestly I was hoping you going to talk about how great gene is instead of complaining about how important quote boring she is but she's not if people are saying that she's one of the best adaptation of Jean Gray we've had in a long time I think you're looking at surface level stuff instead of what the character is and then like you said you didn't do much research on what gene is to begin with so for you to even say oh the first season of X-Men evolutions gene is boring No no she's not she's a older sister character should still a moody teenager who sometimes have issues with her powers I mean hell there was times what she tried to save kitty's parents and she said that she couldn't and Professor Xavier was like you got this gene or whatever and it's the same thing when rope took Storm's power Gene used her powers to keep everybody safe knowing that she has limitations to her powers cuz she struggled the same things went blood captured her she still struggled using her psychic powers so I don't know what are you talking about Oh she's not interested in gorgeous she's quite boring Yeah if you're looking at superficial things but you're not going deep into who she is as a character You know what I mean You didn't see the perfect girl who struggles with her second powers who also has doubts about how people receive her as a mutant cuz it also leads into the character development for season 2 season 3 and season 4 and I just hate that you trying to you know toss that aside by trying to keep saying that she's boring but then say that hey the Nikes Jean Brady and do much or nothing but sizing come Phoenix you know it's kind of crazy this one actually did a lot of things in the first second third and fourth season and you just kind of ignored all of that No offense
A little side note: I heard that they weren't going to include Jean and instead focus more on Blue Team from the 90's, but when they made plans to use the Phoenix sagas, they wrote her in at the last minute. That's probably why she's barely there in season 1 and why she's so under-powered so as to not really affect the story line of the early episodes.
I actually never really liked Jean becouse in all the versions of comics, cartoons and movies she was (even for a level 5 mutant) such a damsel some times and that with such incredebeal telecenetic and tellepaph powers I found it weared that she must always to be rescute even by enemys who are weacker then her. But in EVOLUTION version of Jean I don't like her but I found she is much better of all versions of Jean Grey I have sean so far.
This is honestly the only iteration of Jean that has captured how awesome her powers are. Jean’s depiction in the 90s show is why I literally don’t like that one as much. I’m interested in hearing about your Xmen 97 video!
There's a lot of "shades of Grey" with Jean that aren't always fleshed out in adaptations. Her main traits are kindness and compassion towards others, which is easy enough to replicate. She's also hotheaded and stubborn, but has enough sense to reign herself in before it goes too far, simply because she knows how destructive she could be. There is a part of her, which is what I think she admires about Logan, that wishes to let go and be free with her powers. Because she bottles up those emotions, they sometimes come out in detrimental ways. Still, she always gets back up and tries to do better, and I look up to that trait. Some people easily give in to their selfish desires without a second thought 💎 Some would say that she is a follower because she takes the lead from Xavier or Scott in the team, but that's because she usually agrees with them on their plans. But believe me, she will give them a piece of her mind if she thinks they're wrong or fail to see the bigger picture. Most adaptations also go for either the love triangle or the Phoenix stories, but there are many other stories that feature Jean and aren't used, like things to do with her family and adventures in Cable's future. There was a time after Scott died in the 90's where she joined the X-Men and we saw her being more confident and independent. Or when she returned and spoke at the UN for mutant rights.

Bro this sponsor is just sad 😬
The best adaptation of Jean Grey by far because she's not a damsel in distress or stuck in a love triangle with Scott and Logan she is simply a likable character who serves as an older sister figure to the X-men.
Definitely think this show did right by not making Logan a teen and doing love triangle shenanigans.
Who would've though that all you need for fixing the Infamous cyclops love triangle;"replace Logan with Rogue"!
@@erikbihari3625 Not exactly the same, though; Scott never shows romantic feelings for Rogue, so the romance is very one-sided in contrast to Wolverine-Jean.
@@OpticalSorcerer. Why would Jean get attracted towards Logan? His centuries older than her,violent bordering psychopathy, and for most iterations only went for memory fix!
The fact that Scott not into Rogue makes the triangle more barable, because you not only have zero doubts who must you root for, but the fact that Rogue throws herself funny!
@@erikbihari3625 I don't remember how they got together, but despite being super old, Logan looks young, so him being older isn't a huge issue. Plus he isn't always depicted as violent and aggressive, as he's shown his softer side with Jean. And since Rogue's feelings are not requited, it's not a true love triangle, since by definition, it's two people competing for one person's affections, but Jean and Rogue never compete, and Scott isn't torn between them.
POSITIVE : What I love about the X-men evolution series ( particularly with YOUNG JEAN ) was that her powers evolved slowly and steadily. It never felt rushed. Season 1 she could barely move a couch but by season 3 not only is she stopping a train but she's taking helicopters out of the sky. She also becomes more confident in her power and less afraid of her mishaps defining her.
Jean is my favorite X men member and I loved this version of her because she had so much character development, her powers were strong, she didn't have (or rely on ANY Phoenix Force), and there were no weird love triangles with Wolverine because she's literally a teen in this series before turning 18.

Being a teenager saved her from the love triangle plot line for a bit, but they still had some of that with that athlete guy they made up (should've been Warren, imo)
XME was the best depiction of many characters, but especially for Jean and Scott as individuals. Usually they’re always presented as a near-conjoined twin entity, and don’t function without the other present.
Not only does this show give them both extremely well presented and individual personalities, but they naturally and organically build their relationship in a way that makes the viewer root for them. They don’t feel clumped or fixed together as they are in other shows.
Jean has incredible development. I like how she’s more of a human, and less a bag of tropes, fainting and in need of rescuing, tiring and collapsing dramatically from using the smallest display of power. She’s a regular person. Not the static mother of the group that never changes. She grows and changes.
And on a quick side note, _this_ Jean, while as emotionally mature and demure as she usually is presented, actually has a much feistier personality. She snaps at people, gets annoyed and gets petty at times. She makes mistakes. It’s possibly the only depiction I’ve seen of Jean on the screen that shows her as a human being.

jean is more than her powers so not useless, just not what you are looking for.
She went from "I can't hold it!" to "I got it!".
I know I’m a little late to tell you this, but this iteration of Jean used to be my childhood crush.
The older sister/ mother hen of the family n thank god she ain’t in the love triangle of wolverine n cyclops.

That's why she's the GOAT! The GOAT!
I thought I recognized that voice! Jean in this show is the same voice as girl Ranma in the original Ranma 1/2 series
your videos are amazing man, cant wait for video of the last two spectacular spiderman episodes
This is what KILLS me about you RUclipsrs….have the nerve to post a video saying this series got her character right when in reality ALL series had her character right! You literally just said your comic book knowledge on her is very minimum NEWS FLASH this is exactly how her character is! Comics are the main source of who these characters are and how they were created. If this is your favorite version of Jean fine but all the things you claim you don’t like is really actually apart of her storyline from a child to her own death!
Not for Jean specifically even though I really like her in this show, I really can’t wait for you to get to the next seasons. After Season 1 you can tell the writers were free of the network shackles and could really flex more of what they were capable of
I think we need a video about Wonder Woman (tv shows/movies) what they got right about her characterization/relationships/combat prowess/flaws/what needs to be done next if they want to relaunch her within the new DC cinematic universe
x-men 97 they correct everything is Jean comic accurate
I'm kinda confused, you complained more about her than pointed out how they got her right
I just don’t like Jean….
@@Venxous b-but the title, and the thumbnail!
Just because I don’t like her doesn’t mean I can’t recognize when a character is done exceptionally well. So yeah i think she’s done near perfectly but…I just am not a fan of Jean in any media really
@@VenxousSo this just proves you don't know the character at all cause you said Emma was more complex than Jean which isn't even close to the truth. This adaptation of jean isn't even close to how young Jean actually is. Obviously this adaptation tries to combine young and adult jean but young Jean is not the older sister and never was even when she was an adult. she's the youngest who is very self righteous, a violent bully, careless, a hypocrite, more free and assertive but still empathetic compared to her adult counterpart who is still all of these things but a more toned down of her younger self
@@Venxous if you're not a fan of hers so how would you know what's a good adaption of her or not?
Yeah I say this Evolution teen girl version of Jean Grey is my favorite! As you said she was sorta like a big sis to some of the others. What I also liked was the fact that at the start Jean was dating someone else and she and Scott were just friends until season 3. This was the only time I didn't ship Jean with Logan cause she was the teen and he was the adult working with Xavier looking out for them.
This is definitely my fav version of Jean grey
Just putting it out there, I don't remember any of them thinking about one another as pseudo-siblings. Kitty and Rogue talked about the hot guys in the team often (like Scott, which Kurt would tease them about). Kurt and Evan also talk about the girls on the team and tease Scott about his relationship with Jean regularly.
I feel that because Jean is portrayed as the caretaker of the team her storylines always revolved relationships with others and not herself.
Basically you just don’t know anything about the character. She is the most complex and complicated character out of every x-men
Whats with the audio playing over your your voice at some points
Love your videos, but your timing is off on this episode. You and the characters talk over each other several times
This x men is definitely my favorite when Jean lift that dam water and stop a train and almost stopping an explosion man I loved this Jean. Basically everyone in this show and storm theme is so great in this show I love it
If they ever do another live X-men again, hopefully they do better
Damn not the ai generation sponsorship that’s yikes
I love Jean Grey from the X-Men Evolution BUT still Think that Her Telephaty was not very well use.
sorry for spamming your comments. I 'm a huge jeannie fan 😅
yeah, it is very clear you aren’t familiar with her character.
Decent video, and I get being sponsored, you should absolutely be compensated for the time and effort you put into these videos. But of all possible sponsors, did you really have to accept the AI one? That's not something anyone should support.
Please make a video on Emma Frost!!!! Pleaseeee I subscribed the moment you mentioned her. She's the best
I'm thankful for X-men: Evolution because I didn't know Jean Grey could be a capable mutant as I always seen her in the early X-men as getting easily getting knocked out by other characters or by her own powers and I wished she stayed the Phoenix because she was basically a Goddess in that form.
She got a big head💁
This was the best Jean grey too me
16:27 For whatever Jean-ius reason
Anyway, I do love Jean in this show. Often times I look at characters like how I look at people. What would I think or feel interacting with this character? Yeah, she doesn't have much going on, but she's lovely. As someone who tries to be responsible and levelheaded, I think I would really enjoy talking to her. And yeah, i am somewhat biased towards the big sister type characters. She's not really perfect, she's a teenager after all, but they're more subtle. I do agree I would have enjoyed some episodes that focus on her and the toll everything takes on her, similar to the Ben 10 Ultimate Alien episode "It's Not Easy Being Gwen". Since Gwen Tennyson and Jean Grey are both green eyed redheaded overachievers with similar powers, to some extent, that fill the role of voice of reasoning.
And with her sad situation of other appearances... I haven't watched the 90s X-Men in a while... but god I do not look forward to rewatching that. Because from what I remember... between Jean always fainting and being essentially an object, and Jubilee... I feel I'd be so frustrated. It's funny in a sad way that if you look up "Jean Grey is" on RUclips, you get a "useless" video for the 90s one, and a "useful" one for Evolution
Another great video 😁
Her always fainting kills me 😂
EMMA FROST FANS STAND UP
Wait how are you a fan of Emma but you're unfamiliar with much Jean Grey?
less unfamiliar and more did not care enough to pay attention to prior to this vid
If cyclops can want to date Jean so can spike plus he just got there, i doubt very highly spike would ever think a 6 foot redhead Barbie would be his sister, Dude never really felt like he fit in anyway.
Like u I hate Jean as a character, this is my favorite X-men adaptation and show in general, and I been planning on doing an entire season review for each season. Can u offerAny tips or pointers or suggestions ?
ay yo i thought i might bring it up but the parts where you play the audio from the show for a brief second mesh with your actual voice audio and overlaps and i cant tell whats being said by either you or the clip
The sims should add super powers.... im sure they wont do it right smh
This was my intro to X-Men. This is why I was never okay with Wolverine and Jean Grey.
Honestly I was hoping you going to talk about how great gene is instead of complaining about how important quote boring she is but she's not if people are saying that she's one of the best adaptation of Jean Gray we've had in a long time I think you're looking at surface level stuff instead of what the character is and then like you said you didn't do much research on what gene is to begin with so for you to even say oh the first season of X-Men evolutions gene is boring No no she's not she's a older sister character should still a moody teenager who sometimes have issues with her powers I mean hell there was times what she tried to save kitty's parents and she said that she couldn't and Professor Xavier was like you got this gene or whatever and it's the same thing when rope took Storm's power Gene used her powers to keep everybody safe knowing that she has limitations to her powers cuz she struggled the same things went blood captured her she still struggled using her psychic powers so I don't know what are you talking about Oh she's not interested in gorgeous she's quite boring Yeah if you're looking at superficial things but you're not going deep into who she is as a character You know what I mean You didn't see the perfect girl who struggles with her second powers who also has doubts about how people receive her as a mutant cuz it also leads into the character development for season 2 season 3 and season 4 and I just hate that you trying to you know toss that aside by trying to keep saying that she's boring but then say that hey the Nikes Jean Brady and do much or nothing but sizing come Phoenix you know it's kind of crazy this one actually did a lot of things in the first second third and fourth season and you just kind of ignored all of that No offense
Girl just make an Emma vid and stop the rage bait on us Jean fans. Probably mad Jean made her relive that past trauma and I don’t blame you ❤
Audio is really messed up this episode
Please make a video on Iceman from X-Men Evolution or a better one would be the New Mutants from the Show
A little side note: I heard that they weren't going to include Jean and instead focus more on Blue Team from the 90's, but when they made plans to use the Phoenix sagas, they wrote her in at the last minute. That's probably why she's barely there in season 1 and why she's so under-powered so as to not really affect the story line of the early episodes.
And to think they were gonna do the Phoenix storyline had the show gone on
Could you do Storm next I feel like they got her right
Yes I loved when she came on the scene and her theme when she use her powers is always great to hear
I actually never really liked Jean becouse in all the versions of comics, cartoons and movies she was (even for a level 5 mutant) such a damsel some times and that with such incredebeal telecenetic and tellepaph powers I found it weared that she must always to be rescute even by enemys who are weacker then her.
But in EVOLUTION version of Jean I don't like her but I found she is much better of all versions of Jean Grey I have sean so far.
15:23 there is no ethical or anything. Using powers in life and death of another’s life is reason and common sense enough to use your powers
This is honestly the only iteration of Jean that has captured how awesome her powers are. Jean’s depiction in the 90s show is why I literally don’t like that one as much. I’m interested in hearing about your Xmen 97 video!
There's a lot of "shades of Grey" with Jean that aren't always fleshed out in adaptations. Her main traits are kindness and compassion towards others, which is easy enough to replicate. She's also hotheaded and stubborn, but has enough sense to reign herself in before it goes too far, simply because she knows how destructive she could be. There is a part of her, which is what I think she admires about Logan, that wishes to let go and be free with her powers. Because she bottles up those emotions, they sometimes come out in detrimental ways. Still, she always gets back up and tries to do better, and I look up to that trait. Some people easily give in to their selfish desires without a second thought 💎
Some would say that she is a follower because she takes the lead from Xavier or Scott in the team, but that's because she usually agrees with them on their plans. But believe me, she will give them a piece of her mind if she thinks they're wrong or fail to see the bigger picture.
Most adaptations also go for either the love triangle or the Phoenix stories, but there are many other stories that feature Jean and aren't used, like things to do with her family and adventures in Cable's future. There was a time after Scott died in the 90's where she joined the X-Men and we saw her being more confident and independent. Or when she returned and spoke at the UN for mutant rights.
her best adaption, hopefully in live action they will do jean grey justice in x-men reboot
