Author's Note: Here comes a list of complaints from Jean. This will be a mix of stuff from the movie, comics, and cartoons. Now, by vote count, Gambit should be next, but I wish to save him for last. I'm at a cross between Beast, Colossus, and Shadowcat. So again, I turn to you...who next?
I decided to take a different approach to Jean...and probably with all future writing. The characterizations shown in all previous X-men media is going out the window. While elements of those characters may creep up, mostly in here they will be different. I'm treating them kinda as if they were actors playing parts and are now complaining about thier studio-Marvel. In truth..I have been kinda doing that all along, to an extent. Thus Jean is rather twisted here. Now sit back. relax, and enjoy the fic.
Monologue of an X-Man:
Jean Grey/Phoenix
Perfect. Perfection. "Ms. Perfect." "Mrs. Grey-Summers-Perfect." How much more of this can I take?! I NEED TO MAKE A MISTAKE! A HUGE MIsTAKE!!
Long ago, Marvel decided to make me the "model student." Well, me and Scott anyways. But Scott is too uptight to be perfect. SO the burden fell on me. And I have borne it gratefully. No one hates me, I am mostly well thought of. But it becomes tiring. Which is probably why I started sleeping wiht Logan.
He really is an *animal* in bed. Sooooooo much better than Scott. So much so, that the first time I went to fuck Scott after Logan..I couldn't climax. So I stopped being with Scott. I ruined my "perfection." I stopped being Jean Grey...scientist, devoted wife, mother, and powerful telekinetic/telepath. I became and adultress.
And I reveled in it. Until Marvel got wind of what was happening (I bet Scott told...that jackass). So they turned my sins into the actions "of a woman caught between two men" rep. So now I wasn't a bitch, I was a sympathetic character. It would have been better if I could have divocred Scott....then my marriage would have been a mistake. But no...Now, whnever Logan isn't around, I have to fuck with Scott. Just to prove that I really do love them both. Ug.
I really hate the fact that I got paired up with Scott in the first place. What a bad relationship it was. Me constantly giving, him holding back. MAybe it wasn't him fault. Maybe Marvel is forcing him to act like a prick. In fact, they probably are. But still...why did I have to be his partner? Or better yet...couldn't he have stayed with Madelyn? Did they have to kill her off?
I miss being Dark Phoenix. To be evil...well..I find it quite exhilarating. To kill, hurt...But normal Jean..nononono...she can't do that.
Even when I disobey the Professor in teh movie and use Cerebo..it ends up perfectly ok. No harm done. I even help us find Magneto.
Ug..that movie. I felt like smacking Famke Jansen. Does she own a bra? If my character has to be perfect, I might as well not dress like a slut. And that annoying little "compassionate cheeleader" bit they have going on in the Evolution series? ::gag::
Truth is, Marvel abuses me more than any other character, no matter how hard they all complain. They have had things take over my mind, "killed" me and stuck me in a pod to be discovered by the Avengers. Now they are making me mourn up in Alaska after my prick of a husband, while my teenage self runs rampant on a saturday morning cartoon. Is that not greater punishment than anything else?
Maybe I shoudl kill someone. Then I'd stop being perfect...
But of course...Marvel would make the victim evil....
Yes..I know Jean seems twisted in here....but I like it like that.
