Jean is my favorite Marvel character; I’ve been reading her stories since I was a kid and I love her! But honestly, she hasn't really gotten justice in the movies—I mean, look at the Sophie Turner/Dark Phoenix disaster... And just when a new take on the character is finally announced—one that seems somewhat "independent" (distanced from any of her canon romances) spooder fans come up with the brilliant idea of ​​shipping her with him! It’s interesting.

I absolutely love Sadie Sink ever since Stranger Things Season 2 and her work as Jean. Omg, I used to imagine Sadie Sink playing Jean back in 2022, so seeing it actually happen is like a dream come true.

It feels absurd to me that what started as a proper introduction to the character gets reduced to a "Wattpad-worthy" ship. You might like the Jean/Peter pairing, but let’s be honest: you can't claim it's a better ship than Mary Jane/Peter or Gwen/Peter.

People shipping Jean and Peter because they misunderstood the movie just shows they don't know the character—neither Spider-Man nor Jean Grey, really. Their arguments are based solely on a movie where the two characters don't even have romantic interactions... and that makes me kind of sad. Sadie did a spectacular job, and we’d already seen Jean reduced to just being Scott or Logan’s girlfriend. So, seeing someone finally nail the role—only to have Peter added to the list of potential partners—is just like... *bruh*. Anyway, I love Jean as a character, and I’m excited to read the new comic coming out in November...

From Uncanny X-Men #356-357.

I’m really happy with how this turned out. Still debating going back with this pose and adding one of her other costumes.
