Just an random thought

I've been sitting on this bit of logic in my head for a bit.

It's X-Men fandom related, so feel free to skip over if you don't care.


In New X-Men 138 Cyclopes - Scott Summers- and Emma Frost start a telepathic affair because Scott is having emotional issues and Emma is a bitch like that. While Emma supposedly is really falling in love with Scott, Jean doesn't take to kindly to being cheated on. Cheating on the Phoenix is never really a good idea anyway.

Later Jean dies -again- and comes back as the full Phoenix and encourages, nudges Scott to accept the relationship with Emma.

I started to wonder why she would do that. After all, earlier she was right pissed at Scott and Emma.

So, I thought, well Jean pushed Scott to Emma because obviously if he wants the conniving betraying bitch he should have her. And all the problems that are associated with it. Like eventual betrayal and perhaps cheating on and all sorts of fun things that will likely hurt him, as opposed to being with Jean.

I just think Scott is something of a masochist. And really believes he deserves it all.

That all happened, I think, shortly after I stopped reading X-Men comics, and when I heard about that I was like 'Oh hell naw!' Stupid, stupid, STUPID arc!

Scrappy writers are scrappy.

Also, everyone hates Cyclops.

He deserves the conniving betraying bitch. Does anyone like Cyclops?

If Jean was full Phoenix when she nudged Scott to accept the relationship with Emma, then was it actually the Phoenix, and not Jean, who nudged the relationship? I'm not familiar with the whole story, but the little bit I see gives me the impression that Jean was jeaous, but the Phoenix doesn't give a damn about her host's relationship with Scott. The Phoenix would more likely prefer to be free from such attachment.

Current continuity says that Jean and Phoenix are one in the same. Jean is the Phoenix's perfect host.

I can't really see Jean trying to set up Scott to be hurt; she strikes me as having more than a little 'I just want him to be happy' in her. Especially given that the relationship didn't start until Jean was 'dead', it seems more likely that she did it to both make him at least content, and divert him from obsessing over her death.
