The 90s one was a product of its time. It was good but the way it handled some characters, namely Jean Grey could've been better.

This Jean was definitely more raw with the usage of her powers, but still relatively tamed considering what Jean Grey can do. Unlike the 90s Jean Grey who genuinely looked weak, this Jean knows her capabilities and consciously waters them down as to cause the least harm to others, but still manages to do infinitely more than the 90s version ever did, without always fainting. Plus this version flew a lot, which I liked!

I love that 2000s Jean levitates herself a lot, 90s Jean was a bit inconsistent with her powers, in one scene she is able to maintain a falling building afloat long enough to give innocent bystanders time to get out of the way, in another she is only able to levitate Senator Kelly a few feet before she just drops him mid-air..

[@schnaiderwissen8915]

What I love about Jean in this show is that she's actually useful and proves how valuable she is to the team, and not just the team, but as a role model for mutants. You can notice that the younger members like Kurt, Kitty, Amara, Bobby etc all look up to her. While in the 90's animated series, Jean was pretty much just a damsel in distress. I love how Evolution captures the spirit of the X-Men in its own way. They take much liberties but also retain the core importance of the X-Men that sets them apart from other superhero teams. Like the fact that the X-Men are more than just mutant freedom fighters, they're a family. While the 90's series they're basically just an underground freedom fighting outlaws who fight crime and the government and in the films they're basically an academy whose staff members occasionally go out to fight anti-mutant organizations.

From beginning of the movie even before the attack to the mansion Jean shown something is wrong with her and she knew that too. She knew if she lost control it will be over for everyone in the team and all the civilians. So she deliberately choose to sacrifice herself. She stop to Kurt from teleporting her , she used telepathy with professor X , she stop the dam , she control the ship , she lifted the ship . And when she finally sure her friends are safe (she already have red eyes and she is literally losing all the control to her evil side she deliberately choose to let go so her evil side doesn’t destroy everything around her .(professor X literally created another persona inside Jean's mind in order to control her "so she doesn’t be a danger to herself and people around her " but it was a very wrong move because once that persona wake up it created endless destruction. And Jean knew this , professor knew this too . In the movies when wolverine time travels and old professor talks to younger one he advice not to Cage the monster in her and create her restless and much more destructive persona . And the young professor take that advice and that future turn out good . Until this time professor X loses control and kills every mutant (because he is old he has a seizure everyone died including wolverine but wolverine has healing factor so professor and wolverine we're the only mutants survived .

Jean’s “phoenix power” was originally simply Jean’s own natural mutation evolving far too rapidly for her to control, and her psychic powers increasing beyond her capacity to regulate. The only reason it was later retconned that the Phoenix was a separate entity that duplicated Jean while keeping her in suspended animation was because the writers wanted to bring Jean back to life after she died in the Dark Phoenix conclusion, and not forget that she previously killed an entire planet of people.

I liked it especially as a fan of Rogue/Gambit in the original cartoon, I liked how they made the characters at least still have good chemistry with one another to give like fans of the original pairing something to want even if it wasn't romantic. @@MrDibara

[@L2Sentinel]

Evolution had a love triangle with Jean, Scott, and Rogue instead, but it was much less awkward. Rogue just had a crush on Scott, and it was actually endearing instead of creepy like Logan's possessive feelings for Jean.

[@jojogarlin8369]

How is it that the teenager version has more power and control then the grown woman

[@Joe-jj3fg]

3:33 her hair turns into the Phoenix lol I just noticed that

[@arc7375]

6:44 You see the psychic shield suddenly expand and morph into the Phoenix itself. It’s just green instead of red. This would lead into season 5, which Jean would’ve actually evolved into Phoenix as her mutation grew too powerful for her to be able to control (like the original intention in the comics - no alien Phoenix force) - sadly the show was cancelled here.

[@funkycrawler619]

Which I think is a better interpretaiton that the more powerful she got on her won the stronger the Phoenix got. Honestly better take on the Phoenix arc imo @@arc7375

[@BeyondManTV]

Thats so cool! I never noticed the hair phoenix moment!

[@aRBy125]

@3:23 I remember this episode. That was one of my favorite moments of the show, Jean coming to save her man, and the music that played when she showed up. You KNEW Mystique was in TROUBLE! haha!

[@AntNerd_E]

I love that in the first minute of the video Jean gave Scott an X-Gasam so good he passed out like 90's Jean used to get all the time.

[@ShadowSonic2]

Funny thing is, I think that EVO Jean only ever had one X-Gasm that made her pass out. She was fighting Xavier's Son, Legion.

[@susanstorm7910]

@@ShadowSonic2legion is more powerful than her????

[@ShadowSonic2]

​@@susanstorm7910Without the Phoenix, yes he is

[@geekjanet]

I loved the effects of her Force fields!

[@yuankun99]

It's actually telekinetic fields but yeah.

[@berstuk]

this was the marvel's teen titans

[@agentofchaos7456]

The X-Men were always Marvel's Teen Titans. In the comics they started out as a team of teen superheroes.

[@BudderWizza123]

That’s a REALLY good comparison!

[@numericalhorror185]

X-TRA THICC basically their teen titans mixed with Doom Patrol which they were created around the same time

[@jaylindr3723]

Básically

[@ihop2001]

to bad the good shows get cancelled

[@Tashwampa]

As much as I love the 90s cartoon they did her dirty by making her so....like that.

[@MrDibara]

Yeah, I always wondered, *what the hell was up with THAT?!* In the 90's _comics,_ Jean was even stronger and more competent than Evolution Jean! _Why_ did they do her so dirty on the 90's cartoon?!

[@Flareboxx]

This is why Jean is my favorite :) I loved how X-men Evolution actually showed off how awesome she is.

[@mecrac]

Evo Jean can stop choppers, trains, explosions, even the Juggernaut when needed. 90's Jean trips on exposed wiring and rocks lol

[@mahditeymuri5650]

jean in this show: meh that was nothing jean in the animated series 92: instantly unconcious after using her powers.

[@dallasgrey4247]

90s Jean would straight up start moaning and fainting from anything that she deemed too heavy. This Jean seems fine with heavy things, and doesn't need iron supplements.

[@nasirsorina7692]

Jean in 90’s: “Storm, could you get me a glass of water” Jean from Evo.: “I held a whole dam up with the water overflowing girl are you even trying 🤦🏽‍♂️”

[@nasirsorina7692]

Jean from the 90’s: “I wasn’t strong enough, can’t hold it… uggahah” Jean from Evo: “Hold my glass and my house sis, and I ain’t get the Phoenix yet”

[@manuelpavanello90]

Jean Grey is an asset for the X-Men.

[@schnaiderwissen8915]

She's more than an asset. She was a role model for the new recruits.

[@nathanielz6136]

In the 90s Jean was able to lift the Blackbird telekinetically. However, this incarnation features Jean lifting, repelling, and supporting equal to greather weight than the Blackbird- like the dam and the force of the explosion that Avalanche subsided into the earth - and more often than the 90s version. The only time Jean displayed immense power in the 90s was when she became the Phoenix. In X-Men Evolution, Jean even used her power subvertively as she manipulated multiple minds at once, demonstrated offensive manipulation of her Pathic and Kinetic powers in combat, and had a night on the town with fellow female X-Men in Season 2, Episode: "Walk on the Wild Side". X-Men Evolution's Jean was QUITE useful... Great video!

[@AceCruzat]

HAHAHAHAHAHAH Jean could BARELY even do that. Her TK was written so inconsistently: at one point she's able to hold up a fallen building (for 10s) but she can only (albeit badly) slow down the Blackbird from falling from a building ledge, and even then Rogue was there to help her (both times) and she was mentally fatigued that Bishop had to catch her. Even at the last season, she couldn't keep herself, Scott, and Wolverine afloat when they were falling. She can use her TK to float at times, but then forgets other times: moreso the latter! Evo Jean was the best representation of her powers and her growth into those powers.

[@AceCruzat]

She also doesn't faint or trip like 90s Jean was so prone to do so often.

[@SirKolass]

Love the animation and the sound effects, they look dope af

[@forceminder]

Kitty should’ve phased the train underground

[@kou7191]

forceminder kinetic energy. It wouldve crashed and explode the moment she stoped phasing.

[@MrBionic26]

Or Kurt should have just teleported the train

[@ShadowSonic2]

I don't think Kurt has the power to teleport something that big. Plus he can't stop the speed, it'll still crash wherever he teleports it.

[@dylansuxx]

The phasing of the train probably would’ve worked if they were both moving lol

[@luxle8624]

this is how jean should be using her power to fly too! not just walking!

[@cagedcoco1681]

I like the fact this series took time to show the mechanics of their powers without limiting their actions. You could tell from the animation just how much work Jean has to do, but you know she can do it

[@whade62000]

Comics Jean was always OP - world's most gifted telekinetic AND she's got half of Professor X's powers. There's a reason the phoenix force chose her. (And I think Jean's story is about being someone perfect really. She's not only gifted with beauty, smarts and powers - she's deserving of them too - humble, kind to others (helper to younger students,), good values (gives everyone a chance, she picks hard-working boy scout Scott over cooler bad boys too). But even she has her problems, struggles managing the large responsibilities she accepts to take on, evil powers that seek to control her, being just as vulnerable and mortal as everyone (more so) on missions. Tbh the Phoenix Force is the perfect locical way to advance her character too - how do you challenge someone who's so powerful and perfect? Push that power to a level where she has to worry about being so powerful she might destroy anything just by touching it, so perfect that she involuntarily starts crushing lesser things in her path.

[@agentofchaos7456]

Nah, Jean was the weakest X-Man before she became Phoenix.

[@tesspulido]

@@agentofchaos7456 Only in the 90s cartoons. She's one of the first five X-Men in the comics and one of the Omega 12 etc.

[@agentofchaos7456]

He wasn’t just the 90s show but in the 60s comics.

[@Laineyraider]

90s Jean would have been like "These helicopters are too heavy!"

[@micow9951]

I'm so glad this show was my introduction to the X-Men as a kid and because of that characters like her : susan storm, scarlet witch and gwen Tennyson have always been my favorites

[@analothor]

I'm glad they didn't make her another damsel in distress

[@ThePadillaFilms]

Loved that she was voiced by Ranma girl type Venus Terzo.

[@seeleunit2000]

I like to add in addition to the improvement on Gene's power set in X-Men evolution, can we all appreciate the costume was better in X-Men evolution ? It definitely was an upgrade

[@acryliq]

Gene? Seriously? Like her name wasn’t mentioned at least 1947 times 😂

[@kylepop4371]

X-Men: Evolution has the best portrayal of these characters - why is it so hard for the movies and other animated shows to get it right? Jean’s powers were so useful! Rogue could do pretty cool stuff with her powers without just standing there or having Ms Marvel’s powers, Scott was a great team leader and Kitty and Kurt were likeable fun characters

[@ShadowSonic2]

It's because the other shows and the movies are too far up Wolverine's ass to think about other characters

[@BCDC123]

3:27 One of my favorite things about X-Men Evolution is that both Storm and Jean gave Mystique the BUSINESS 💥🤛🏾

[@CynderSpirit]

Both Xmen and DC have one thing in common their animated shows are better then most of their live action movies.

[@jeremythomas7455]

Poor Jean couldn't walk across the sitting room without tripping over a small gust blowing in from under a crack in the front door. I love this Jean so much better.

this Jean would defeat Thanos lmao

[@Omgits7ito]

This is seriously the best version of Jean Grey. She not a "super strong"damsel in distress all the time

[@oliverstone9577]

This is why I like X men evolution so much more than the 90s version.

[@kuriboi952]

Evolution Jean constantly shows off how bust her psionic powers are while 90s would die trying to read someone’s mind. They’re popular opposites.

[@Pastadudde]

"would die trying to read someone’s mind. " ahahahahaaha

[@andrewowens4421]

Oddly enough it seemed like Scott and Jean reversed roles between the 90s and 2000s. I swear in Evolution Scott got his ass handed to him more often than not.

[@bronosx2246]

Better than the 90's as men Jean Grey.

[@Jai-mi8sb]

In X-men: Evolution they were supposed to be like 17-18 and jean did as much as possible not to mention how powerful she was at such a young age. Jean was super powerful without phoenix, and the other shows tried to downplay her power to make phoenix look like the peak of her powers. She did almost all the work the professor did and don't forget when we found out professor had a son and he was like mega-powerful yea she tried her best to fight back knowing he was stronger. In conclusion x-men: evolution was the best animated x-men tv marvel made :)

[@youthoughtaboutit6946]

I’m still salty all these years later that evolution was canceled before there was a proper legion (the son you mentioned) arc ever properly happened, instead leaving with a cliffhanger episode regarding him.

[@ladysasha90]

This is just the best version which is sad because she’s a teen and in all the other versions she’s an adult
