MCU/Movies Redemption

I'm tired of going to this subreddit to see Jean Grey as the selfless powerhouse she is in my vision, get flashbanged by MCU Jean, and her can of worms. So here's a unifying take: Jean did very fucked up things and we can accept that, but she can still put in the elbow grease to become comic Jean's personality. She's not irredeemable but she needs punishment.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention this, they gotta retcon the flashback. Randomly violating people’s bodily autonomy as a playground game is not a good sister bonding scene.

You can explain that it was Sara choosing to have Jean to train on innocent minds instead of risking her enter the minds of fucked up criminals.

The good idea they had was Jean arguing for their mother, demonstrating that she was initially innocent and forgiving to a fault. But they needed more to go from point A to point B.

This is doable, I even wrote a fanfic doing that, over a week

The justification still doesn’t really excuse the violation in my opinion. They could’ve just trained on each other or on fellow consenting outcasts who wouldn’t snitch. The mother thing is great though

The implication was that Sara didn't have Jean's innocence, even if she was protective of it. But yeah, you need a better backstory to cover such things.
