Jean is presented as a moral compass for Cyclops, but the writing does not make her look good. She meets Sinister’s wife, recognizes they’re going through something similar, and then basically doesn’t help at all. Later, she just goes around deleting memories. #XCalebur
#XCalebur ultimately, Logan (born James) becomes Wolverine without ever seeing one (named by quarry workers who happen to connect him to it) and then fights Dog (born Logan) who happens to look a lot like Sabertooth, and in the process Rose (NOT jean) dies.
#XCalebur these creators also apparently have the Hugh Jackman problem of not thinking Wolverines aren’t real, and so they stick him with wolves for the whole story (PLEASE read the snippet in the 4th pic)
#XCalebur I will say, though: the homoeroticism of his modern-day love triangle (which led to the current Krakoan housing situation with Scott) is absolutely there in his other triangles. He cares a lot about Dog, and Smitty transparently considers him part of the Rose deal
The first issues are a fakeout—Wolverine is NOT the child with the animal name, the last name Logan, and the abusive home life: actually, he’s the rich kid! that’s where his heart of gold comes from. And he was in a love triangle with a redhead from the BEGINNING #XCalebur
#XCalebur I give this a very confident “don’t worry about it,” haha. The only woman is treated very poorly by the writing, Apocalypse’s whole deal is reduced to being mad she thought he was ugly, and the new Dawn of X backstory for him is way better!
#XCalebur according to this series, a man from the year 3,000 came back in time in his Sphinx time machine and became pharaoh SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE he wanted to find & influence En Sabah Nur, who would become Apocalypse. But he gets distracted by his ~Earthly Desires~
