X-Men Origins: JEAN GREY - The Early Years

[@MerryMarvelite]

Hey, heroes! Thanks for watching another video! I'll be streaming again on Twitch this weekend. On Saturday I'll be trying again to finish Mega Man Zero 2 while on Sunday we may be closing in on the end of Demons' Souls for the PS3. www.twitch.tv/merrymarvelite

Could you PLEASE do the origin of Patsy Walker (Hellcat) for me okay.

I love jean grey she’s really awesome.

Missed the mark on a she's marvellous joke there, but 100% agree

Jeannie is my great hero. i love her so much. a quick look around my apartment would demonstrate that... thanks for covering Jean. xx

[@TevyaSmolka]

@@geenadasilva9287 i can agree with that

[@dfailsthemost]

Something about old xmen backstories get to me. The details of Jean's life were well chosen, in my opinion.

[@vincentfranklin17]

Jean Grey is a major powerhouse. Even without the Phoenix Force!

[@firxanza5172]

yup, like Namor, she is an omega level mutant, and she was among the first to be recruited into the X-Men as a child, her psionic powers were shown to be too advanced for her age, so Professor X had to put some mental blocks in place as limiters until Jean was mature enough to control her powers without accidentally doing psychic damage to herself and others

[@PaulFagundes]

Love seeing Dave Cockrum’s art- I forgot how fantastic he was!

[@fishnewt1331]

Yay, Jean! Not often a very well understood character by writers and it took time for fans to see her greatness, but when looking into her, there is so much about her that is relatable. Or at least understandable. My favorite character in all of fiction.

[@camila_costa12]

She's my favourite, I don't understand why so many people hate her and prefer Emma over Jean.

[@kenrobinson7563]

Very happy we get videos from you breaking down our favorite characters

[@legoking6165]

Doug Walker: "Jean's always been the most boring member of the X-Men. The only interesting thing about her is that she was Phoenix." MerryMarvelite: "Are you sure about that?"

[@NintendoPrincess1012]

Great video!! If you are going to do another costume history video like the one for Scarlet Witch, Jean grey would be very cool to see. She’s got so many iconic looks from her first appearance, to the phoenix looks to her animated tv show costume.

[@jakeproven256]

I first heard about the story of Jeans friend Annie when I read the opening pages of the novelization of X-men The Last Stand, (I was looking at the look inside feature on Amazon) when I read that and saw that version of the tale it really hurt my soul, I mean, I knew Jean Grey had trauma in her life but I never imagined her backstory was that dark, no kid should have to experience something as traumatic as that.

[@Mike90317]

She's wonderful.

[@sirchi8731]

The MCU needs to do this version of Jean Grey

[@carlospointofview]

Excellent video. Can’t wait for the second part!

[@tbcat2001]

I was waiting for this video A LONG TIME, ironically Jean Grey is one of the characters that still has many holes in what I know of her... I expect this video (still not watched it) complete my knowdlege about her! I have watched many videos, read many articles, and read A LOT of comics about her... but somehow I still find things I didn't know about her. Your videos are usually the most complete, ordered and perfect data source for complete marvel history... I hope you did more than her origin though :)

[@tbcat2001]

ok, it was only the early years, but it was very complete and as usual perfectly told. I will be waiting for new episodes about her! :)

[@abc_cba]

I love Jean and White Queen but nobody in the X-Men gets me as hyped up as Storm does ! If she goes nuts, i can't imagine what a threat she can be, Thor and Zeus only control Thunder ⚡, she manipulates all the weather !!!! She can turn into her opponents molecules and superfreeze them and then bring in solar storms and burn everything, She can sink all of Atlantis and rip apart Namor and his gills by playing with the molecules of water in them and then dry the entire city of Atlantis. That's why they didn't get her in the New Black Panther Movie, because, she is the wife of Blank Panther, the Queen of Wakanda, not just that she was worshipped as a Goddess and has magical powers as she descends from one ancestor of hers who was an ancient one !!

[@PimpfDM92]

One of my favourite X-men character, along with Cyclops, she has taken such a huge role , even more since she came back she’s a leading force in the team and one of her founding member. If you ever plan to do Cyclops I.d be glad , even though Not much comics fan like him nowadays .

[@Universeknight10055]

Super incredible Great and super amazing and super incredible extraordinary and super incredible magnificent video 😊❤. I enjoy video. Jean grey one of my favorite character.

[@blackphoenix77]

Jean Grey is my favorite X-Men character; I named my channel after her Phoenix alter ego.I really wish they hadn't reconnected all that Phoenix Force stuff into her backstory: it was so much better when all of that was just the ultimate evolution of her mutant powers instead of a firebird from beyond time that anyone can control. P.S. thank you for not bringing up Xavier's creepy crush on her.

[@TevyaSmolka]

Oh I know how about cover spider girl mayday Parker please I love that character she’s really awesome and super underrated.😊

[@eyezonly8593]

Honestly I want to know about Storm I've always been fascinated by the character.

[@Universeknight10055]

This great origin video. Keep more great videos. This video get two ✌ thumbs 😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤👍👍. I enjoy and fun jean grey. Jean grey and phoenix force and Emma frost and cyclope and lot other characters are my favorite characters.

[@ComicPower]

Great report. Very informative

[@TheHartonGroup]

I wonder if Jean is really separated from the Phoenix. Also, would love to see a video on Rachel Summers.

[@maskedvigilante909]

Not gonna lie her costume change through the years went from cheesy and campy into appropriate and badass, Definitely a glow up when I see one.

[@bumbleguppy]

Yeah, I had to snicker when the panel showing the costumes Jean designed had her in a microskirt...like, c'mon, I could see Scott or Warren designing a microskirt maybe.

[@GothicXlightning]

love you Jeannie as Scott Summers would 💙

[@mickeymouse7726]

Make a video on the legion of monsters and Midnight Sons

[@Steven-ip8xo]

[@jakeproven256]

Many refer to the original x-men as "the original five" but really it's the original six because there's also Professor X.

[@mrrictus]

9:42 , was that Leonard Nimoy officiating the funeral?

[@trevorhoppenworth597]

All of the X-men had affections toward Marvel Girl except Iceman. That is very long foreshadowing event.

[@trexadvent4726]

Can you do history of the characters mentioned in this video?

[@andreabanuelosavila2317]

It kinda surprises me how Iceman was the only guy with no attraction to Jean Grey, then a century later he’s canonized as gay…I don’t want to think about it as coincidence, but I can’t help it.

[@Jaygamer-fs2sf]

7:11 what was this X-men page from

[@majinsole8554]

Could’ve sworn there was another team that went to Krakoa 🤔 ~_~

[@MerryMarvelite]

There was another one that was sent and failed, as seen in the miniseries Deadly Genesis, but it wasn't particularly relevant to this video so I decided not to include it.

[@WhiteRaven696]

I find it hilarious when you realize that Adult Jean’s attraction to Logan probably stems from Teen Jean’s attraction to his alternate universe son, Jimmy. 🤣🤣🤣

[@christopherulichney]

watching this made me realize how the token female members of the silver age Marvel teams have become much more interesting than any of their male counterparts.

[@quentinfogger5755]

What do you think Jean Grey would be like if she didn't lose her best friend? I thought you were going to do history of Jean Grey at the last Friday of this month. When are you going to do history of Professor X, Hank McCoy Beast, Angel/Archangel and Iceman as the remaining founding members of the X-Men?

Origin of Havok?

What do you think is the best thing about Jean Grey in the Comics compared to her counterparts from Fox's X-Men movies? Which one of her powers and abilities do you think is the best?

The most boring and Mary Sue character ever. 🤢

[@oKiterrrr]

Ion see the mary sue

[@alertafuegochango]

Powerful does not mean Mary Sue, she does have flaws and makes mistakes, I mean, the whole Dark Phoenix thing happened (even tho they retconned it later) or what she did to Emma after she found her with Scott was also horrible. Some writers that don't know what to do with her do make her seem like one but, she is a character that is seen like a martyr or a saint by the people around her, when she is not and has a lot of flaws too like a normal human, and has an unachievable unrealistic standard put on her. I really hope they don't make her a Mary Sue on the MCU. Yes, she is confident, outgoing, sassy and fiery but empathetic, caring, kind, sweet and selfless, always putting everyone else first, like other Mary Sue characters but she is not a good person all the time, she sometimes doesn't take good decisions or at times doesn't have the best judgement, and she is shown to be way to driven by emotions, she too has all her trauma and problems with controlling her powers, feeling everyone around her and being afraid of hurting them making her more introverted and drawn to herself sometimes. She doesn't have the best control or skill over her power as Xavier or Emma do, even if she is more powerful than them, they have more skill and knowledge, and I hope they show that and not make her a super powered perfect at everything hero from the start and they show her struggling more at the beginning. She's a good character but writers just sometimes don't know what to do with her and her power

[@alertafuegochango]

Damn that's a long ass comment I ain't reading allat
