Ehh....about that "grand" speech that Wolverine gave to the team....

[ToriL90]

Well, that's fair enough, but it doesn't mean Jean and Storm suddenly had to have a strong bond in X3 if none was shown before. Storm's focus has always been the school and the children; she is the 'earth mother' of the series. As soon as Phoenix killed Xavier, any bond between Storm and Jean was severed.

Bond or not, is that really such a surprise to everyone? She forgave Jean for killing one of Storm's best friends (Scott. I know a bond wasn't "developed" on-screen, but I think we can assume the original 3 were close). She and Logan accompanied Xavier to Jean's house. If she didn't care, why would she come with him? She was there, but Xavier felt he could do better alone. She turned on Jean after that incident, when Jean murdered her mentor. It doesn't mean she didn't care - it just meant it had gone too far, and Jean was never coming back. She really wasn't. If anybody tried to "cure" her, she and everybody else knew she would atomize them. I don't even get why people suggest that they should have cure her. I don't care about the "what would happen after she was cured" argument - she never would have let anybody cure her! As proven when Jean broke down after the make-out scene, there was only a brief window of opportunity before Phoenix re-emerged.

I still think it was bad writing because non-comic fans probally thought Jean joined he Brotherhood on her free will in actuality Phoenix joined the B.o.E, Phoenix killed Xavier and Scott, not Jean...

Ppl who have M.P.D(multiple personality disorders)are usually unaware what the other persona does. They realize what he/she did in dreams or nightmares (i.e when Jean realized that Phoenix killed Scott in the infirmary)

Storm should have been present with Logan when Xavier was explaining about Phoenix and should've gave a brief explanation to Bobby, Rogue, etc instead of being anti-Jean...

Jean and Storm had a bond it wasn't fully explored, but remember in X2 at the 2nd Cerebro Jean was limping and Storm asked her if she was ok and she said yes, so...it's a relationship their...

Very true. Storm's compassion is tossed aside in an attempt to make her a stronger character, which makes for some questionable moments. It seems as though Storm thinks Jean simply decided to kill her mentor and join the Brotherhood, which isn't quite the case.

How would her onslaught on wolverine be on wolverine be any different?They have the same pep talk, wolverine attempts to cure her first, nothing happens, then decides killing her is the only way to stop her. voila

Jean has murdered under the guise of the pheonix and was welcomed back before. Infact in this case due to her multiple personality disorder she can't be held accountable for the actionsof the pheonix and would be treated accordingly for her actions. Assylum is fine or a special facility on muir Island. Keeping Jean alive is far more interesting than 'another' pointless death.

and I don't understand your hindsight point, it's impossible to review something without hindsight.

Agreed, keeping Jean alive would have made for a much more interestin ending IMO. It seemed a bit of a waste that she went through 'death' and came back only to die again.

I remember a different speech in the same scene, possibly Beast of Storm vs. Iceman, and I LOVED IT! but it was in a trailer and then disappeared
