Jean was ten years old when the death of her best friend Annie Richardson, who was struck by a car and killed, awakened her telepathy, causing her to experience Annie’s death and almost die with her. She became severely depressed and was catatonic for most of her pubescence. 1/7

It’s what makes the whole story so tragic—especially with future context. Jean knew she was the Phoenix long before she ever joined the X-Men. She had endured so much mental and sexual abuse that she lost sight of herself, felt devoid of love, and gave in to the monster she
love how this acknowledges that the dark phoenix was a result of external forces messing with jean’s mind and not her going cRaZy with power

At the behest of several people I respect, I deleted this tweet. That said, I have a few thoughts about the mean-spiritedness with which this tweet—one that I thought was an obvious joke—was apparently met, but I just finished a grueling day of work, so that will have to wait. ❤️🔥

A few moots have told me that some folks are “being mean” about this, but (1) I haven't seen the mean tweets lol, (2) do they not comprehend tongue in cheek humor (yikes), (3) why would they be “mean” about something this insipid, and (4) oh well. Have a wonderful weekend! ❤️🔥

I love that she's had a wide selection of outfits over the years
It’s a shame that Jean doesn’t have a single other suit even 1% as good as this

I think that a lot of people tend to water down the fact that first and foremost, the dark Phoenix Saga is about rape. It details the year that Mastermind spent slowly manipulating Jean's mind until she no longer knew who she was in order to "own her, body and soul" #XSpoilers

The Dark Phoenix Saga has been framed as a cautionary tale centered on how, as Lord Acton once wrote, "absolute power corrupts absolutely." However, it is a tragedy that illustrates the cumulative effects of grief, abuse, trauma, dissociation, and addiction. 1/36 #XSpoilers

Gagged. I mean, they glossed over the abuse and trauma that pushed her to this point (see my follow-up tweet after the jump) and fail to underscore that she and Phoenix are “one and the same,” but I’ll take it for the animation alone. 🤌🏻🔥 #XSpoilers 1/2
