Jean Grey Is a Villain. So What Now?

Jean Grey has done some genuinely terrible things. Head to https://betterhelp.com/newrockstars to get 10% off your first month with our sponsor, BetterHelp. Therapy can be a meaningful space to reflect, grow, and create positive change in your life. So how are we supposed to root for her? With Marvel bringing Jean into the MCU, we have to ask: Can Jean Grey still be a hero? Has she gone unpunished? And what do her past crimes mean for the future of the X-Men? From X-Men The Last Stand to Dark Phoenix to X-Men 97, Jean has done terrible things and somehow, she's still been forgiven. Join Jessica Clemons as she examines Jean Grey's complicated history, her crimes, and what Marvel will do with one of the X-Men's most morally complicated character.
