I love 90s Jean but them making her weak on purpose to make the Phoenix seem more powerful completely downgraded her character. This Jean could actually hold her own
Justin Watson Jean is a powerful mutant without the pf but she holds back a lot. Read the X-factor comics. She didnt have the pf in them and was the strongest member at the time. She only had tk up to 66 and then she regained her tp. If u want to see jeans tp action then look into the revolution books. Scott didn’t say shit lol stop trying to discredit my girl
Kingsley Asante what type of fucking kid where you to be thinking about rape on a cartoon character? But I do agree that as I kid I also saw her as the most useless one who was constantly failing at everyturn.
Xmen Evolution did everything right Jean's a good character, There's no love triangle between Wolverine and Scott, every character is interesting and likeable. Xmen should have remained this way
Matthew Blake Thats so aggravating considering how powerful she actually is. I know the show would be boring if she just one shot won every fight but come on. Storm was pretty weak in the anime too.
90's Jean: Can't lift a glass of water without struggling 00's Jean: Brushes aside cars, helicopters and levitates a cop car like a breeze Someone in the staff made its mission to reivindicate Jean as a legit powerhouse.
@@yuankun99 Nope, you're wrong. The version of Jean Grey that you see in X-Men: Evolution is basically 90s Jean from the comics. The power level (or lack thereof) that Jean had in the 90s cartoon is basically Jean from the 60s when Stan Lee was still writing the comics. But at least 60s Jean had the excuse of being a teenaged girl.
@@pickledidiot4569 Right lol. 60s Jean was a teenager who was just learning how to use her powers for combat and defense. Unlike the original Jean, EVO Jean had been training intensively for a longer period of time (original Jean was the last one to join the X-Men) and had basically mastered her powers by the beginning of season 2. Someone wanted to right the original show's wrongs.
I really liked Jean in this version. She wasn’t so damn weak like her 90s counterpart and she was involved with everyone at their school, like a big sis.
I love that part in the Brazilian dubbing. Jean was pretty sarcastic and it went like: Mystique: "Ah, what a pretty thing. She came to save her boyfriend. AGH!!" Jean: _"That's right,_ *honey."*
I love how extra she was when she tore the windows off instead of just opening them. lol. but seriously, this video showed why Jean is one of my fave X-Men!!!
From whatr I recall, X-Men "purists" were actually a problem, since they took issue with everyone being younger and in high school in this version (despite, yknow, "mutant school" being literally the main X-Men concept) dismissing it as just "X-Men for kids". Even though this show had the best interpretations ever for Kitty, Scott, Wanda etc. Got Jane, Professor, Mystique, Logan etc. perfectly too.
whade62000 that actually bugged me about the original, it was called a “school” but everyone save Jubilee was already an adult. This one not only were there other students but people TEACHING them!
@LordDeraj I could never buy Jubilee as an adult either because they always drew her as a grown-ass supermodel xD I thought the others were just messing with her because of her babyface when she'd get angry about being treated as a child.
What's wild is that Parallels the second X men movie where she like had to sacrifice herself to stop the damn meanwhile here she does it fine on her own LMFAO
The main writers of this show, Craig Kyle and Chris Yost, created X-23 and worked on all the great Marvel animated shows like Wolverine and the X-Men and Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes. They're now working on the MCU movies. They were writers on Thor: Ragnarok. I really hope Kevin Feige puts them in charge of writing the MCU X-Men movies.
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.
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. It was a way to not hold her responsible for her genocide and evil actions and return her to the X-Men roster.
90's Jean would have been destroyed by Evolution Jean. They should have really used this version of her in the movies. She's not incredibly powerful but she gets shit done and gets it done well. Both her 90's and her movie version nearly pass out or have to call on the Phoenix persona in order to pull off half of this Jean's feats
I've always think that scene is for movie version. Love this Jeangrey in her all aspects. Utilizing each and every things she can do with being a telekinetic and a telepath not like the original series who has been a very dumb and weak as hell.
To be honest, I prefer Xmen Evolution over the 90’s Xmen because they actually made Jean Grey useful and they didn’t have that weird love triangle with Jean, Scott, and Logan. I only liked Rogue and Gambit better in the 90’s Xmen.
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
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.
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.
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
Evolution has my favorite version of Jean. She has a fully developed personality and is an absolute unit! The way she buried Mystique 6 feet under gets me every time.
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?!
As a kid watching X Men Evolution, I was always so enamored with Jean’s character, and her powers were just so cool to me. I’ll never forget the scene with the train exploding, it was very thrilling for me to see her hold the explosion from reaching the buildings!
Jean was BADASS in this ! you did miss some scenes of her kicking ass though but cool video that outclasses the stupid Jean from the old cartoon ! Here they did her justice she was smart,strong and beautiful
yah i remember when she took 3 of the Egyptian statues out so quick after she regained consciousness while all it took all the other X-Men so much effort to beat one 😂
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 🤦🏽♂️”
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
how can people say the 90's show is superior to evolution... i watched both growing up in the early 2000's and the 90's version ALREADY felt goofy and outdated to me at that time, and i was only a kid. i even tried rewatching it recently because of x-men '97 but i couldn't bare it, meanwhile x-men evolution still feels fresh and enjoyable. people are blinded by nostalgia...
Man, I love the '90s series, but it really did all of the female characters dirty. Every episode had a moment where one of them fainted and got saved by one of their male teammates. I know X-Men Evolution is very 2000s, and it took a lot of liberties, but it did a much better job of illustrating how formidable the X-Men were.
She starts the cartoon as very weak, could barely lift a chair, and would struggle lifting Scott and Kurt. But her power levels increased throughout the show to a point she was easily lifting huge military helicopters.
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 :)
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.
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
You mean like what she did all the time? She single-handedly saved the X-Men from being buried underwater and atomized Apocalypse. I don't know why some people are in denial about all the good things presented in the movies, but it's pretty annoying.
Jean was being way too nice here tbh... if I were her, I would be smacking Mystique back and forth between the floor and the ceiling repeatedly for trying to kill my man lmao
This one...they have her eye color correct like the comic books...emerald green...but in XMEN the animated series, her eye color is blue...even in the new XMEN 97, her eye color is blue.
The sad thing is, because of the Rogue/Scott/Jean thing and how ALL of them were portrayed sympathetically....no matter who Scott got with, we'd feel bad. We'd feel for Jean and we'd feel for Rogue
If it works like flying, it technically still is I guess... One good example of flying that's not flying is thor.. He can't fly.. He just travels around throwing the mjolnir.. Like a mini version of what mercenary tao in dragonball does
I think Jean is a passive attacker she avoids too much casualties. She use more of defense as her offense. If she intentionally want to kill someone. She could easily crush them
Everybody’s talking about the train but what about 3:25 ? That was the coolest to me. Also a big pay off to Scott and Jean becoming adults ad developing their relationships through most of the series
That remains my favourite Jean moment in the entirety of the Evolution cartoon. And that's saying something, considering how many awesome scene Jean gets, some not even included in this video.
Jean : * Can't hold an explosion that's growing larger * Me : Understandable. Jean : * Unable to hold a man in her Telekinesis for more than 5 seconds * Me : Bruh
90's cartoon Jean was nerfed so bad, she looked like she was a novice with her powers. Will never understand why they did that, Jean in the 90's comics was a badass like Evolution Jean!

Lmao same thoughts hahaha
I love how she had the audacity to fly to steal a ring then walk away while flipping cop cars
I said the same thing. I was like, now why did she break the windows? She couldve just opened them. I guess it was mastermind behind it lol.
90s Jean: Is a problem.

She's more than an asset. She was a role model for the new recruits.
Jean was BADASS in this ! you did miss some scenes of her kicking ass though but cool video that outclasses the stupid Jean from the old cartoon ! Here they did her justice she was smart,strong and beautiful
I know I missed some from the first season but this video was long enough.
Most useful thing the 90 Jean did was episode 4 with the Morlocks. Only time she was fighting.

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

Evolutions version of the phoenix would of been amazing.
Essa foi a melhor representação da Telecinese de Jean Grey... Prefiro que seja invisível.
The phasing of the train probably would’ve worked if they were both moving lol
The scene with the explosion was incredible 😮. Best depiction of telekinesis ever.

Jean from Evo: “Hold my glass and my house sis, and I ain’t get the Phoenix yet”
1:02 DAAAAMN SHE EVEN TUCKED HIM IN!!!!!
📠
“My turn”
She ate that
I want to see she being useful like this in the movies. Come on Fox!!!
You mean like what she did all the time? She single-handedly saved the X-Men from being buried underwater and atomized Apocalypse. I don't know why some people are in denial about all the good things presented in the movies, but it's pretty annoying.
@@schnaiderwissen8915she did it with the Phoenix, not on her own. The movies and 90’s versions of Jean are horrid compared to her in comics and here
3:29 You know, I could really go for a few hours of this. Just Jean throwing Mystique around like a ragdoll. Seems kinda soothing, y'know? 😄
Jean was being way too nice here tbh... if I were her, I would be smacking Mystique back and forth between the floor and the ceiling repeatedly for trying to kill my man lmao
psychics are awesome. if they can't over power the opponent physically, they'd go for the mind. love the showcase of her telepathy
This is why I like X men evolution so much more than the 90s version.
So this is Jean Grey's true potential
The Queen of Marvel❤️ the one and true Phoenix Jean Grey 👸
If she hadnt slowed down the trains im almost certain kitty wouldve been able to just make them pass through each other
That's the Jean I've grew up. Sorry TAS Grey. ❤😂
She's lucky there were no electrical cords near
Better than the 90's as men Jean Grey.
This is seriously the best version of Jean Grey. She not a "super strong"damsel in distress all the time
I miss this show wish they had continued a season 4 & beyond
Anyone else wishes that she like this in the 90s cartoon raise your hand 😎✋
She's useless on Fox Kids, but useful on Kids WB 😢
She didn’t even need the Phoenix force hahahaha
Jean floating down through the wreckage has big Phoenix energy. I wish this show would have gotten to that storyline
90's Jean: *faints from opening a window
This Jean: Flys effortlessly
This one...they have her eye color correct like the comic books...emerald green...but in XMEN the animated series, her eye color is blue...even in the new XMEN 97, her eye color is blue.
Also, they keep giving her blue psychic energy when her iconic energy signature is supposed to be pink
The chemistry between Jean and Scott was super amazing.
I was stanning for them with the rest of the X Men crew when they finally made it official.
The sad thing is, because of the Rogue/Scott/Jean thing and how ALL of them were portrayed sympathetically....no matter who Scott got with, we'd feel bad. We'd feel for Jean and we'd feel for Rogue
@@ShadowSonic2 Yes but Rogue moved on and her interest in Gambit started to blossom.
I love the sound of her power.
My only pet peeve of Evo Jean was that her psychic resonance was green. I would've liked it to be comic-book accurate and should have been pink.
My favorite animated version of Jean.
Technically, Jean cannot fly. She is only using her telekenesis to appear as if she is flying, but really she's just floating.
Doobie Snoopie that's still flying.
kinda, but not really.
Mar She still flying
If it works like flying, it technically still is I guess... One good example of flying that's not flying is thor.. He can't fly.. He just travels around throwing the mjolnir.. Like a mini version of what mercenary tao in dragonball does
Flying: moving rapidly, especially through the air.
Jean can fly
I think Jean is a passive attacker she avoids too much casualties. She use more of defense as her offense. If she intentionally want to kill someone. She could easily crush them
Everybody’s talking about the train but what about 3:25 ? That was the coolest to me.
Also a big pay off to Scott and Jean becoming adults ad developing their relationships through most of the series
That remains my favourite Jean moment in the entirety of the Evolution cartoon. And that's saying something, considering how many awesome scene Jean gets, some not even included in this video.
Jean : * Can't hold an explosion that's growing larger *
Me : Understandable.
Jean : * Unable to hold a man in her Telekinesis for more than 5 seconds *
Me : Bruh
90's cartoon Jean was nerfed so bad, she looked like she was a novice with her powers.
Will never understand why they did that, Jean in the 90's comics was a badass like Evolution Jean!
That sound effect is really doing a lot of selling, otherwise it's just Jean Grey waving her arms around and things happen.
I mean, it's better than that dumb blue energy stuff that shot out of her head in the 90s show.
Adore this show.
She didn't faint once... I'm so proud.
X-Men: Evolution not only created a perfect Wolverine but also a useful and less annoying Jean Grey
Mystique and jean grey had the best rivalry
Genius!
Earlier the algorithm showed me JEAN GREY IS USELESS
SCOOOTTTTTTT
“I'm going to phase this train through that one” …. 👀
