Yea well I'm a Jean Grey fan and I'm officially bitching about her, timetravel and her taking Rachel's role on the team!

Maybe she'll be better without Bendis writing her, but right now she's an evil unlikeable little girl who won't go back to her time and is taking the spotlight from better characters!

Rachel is Life! Rachel is Love! Rachel is Justice!

I remember that... Wolverine stabbing her to keep her from killing Selene because "we don't kill" or some such hypocritical line.

You can consider Adult Scott and Adult Jean permanently over lol. They will never get back together. If Adult Jean returns, Bendis might stick her with the GOTG or the Jean Grey School.

1. Like what? I can't think of many that couldn't have been just as interesting with Maddy instead.

2. That she was a clone of Jean was part of her story, that's all. Even if that wasn't Claremont's original intention with her, he totally sets up a mystery with her many connections to Jean right off the bat. But a character having a mysterious connection to another character (like being a clone) doesn't in itself make the new character less intriguing than the other.

She was no more lazy an idea than Polaris, Warpath, Siren, Mystique, Cable, X-23, etc.. That her mysterious connection is revealed to be that she's a clone need not have been the end of her being a great character in her own right, they just used that as an excuse to make her go crazy to sweep her out of the way for Jean.

But the way Jean was written after her return in the 80's is kind of more like how Maddy was written than how Jean had been in the 60's and 70's, so in a way Maddy had already replaced Jean. So, that they brought Jean back only to replace her own replacement, to me, just seems like a disservice to what was great about both characters.

@goobot: Both of them share rights, one doesn't have more or less rights than the other. Fox can't reference the Avengers in anyway. Marvel Studios can't mention mutants because Fox owns the rights. How each studio interprets the characters is up to them. And being that Bryan Singer just put Quicksilver in the movie with no real forethought just to spite the Avengers already having planned to put Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver in their movie was the only reason he's in DOFP at all. But i have to say, Marvel Studios by far will have a better plot and already have better Casting choices for the role, and have stated that Avengers will have the comic costumes in the movie. So i am excited for that, not for whatever this mess is.
