0:00Brand New Day is blowing minds all over

0:02the [music] world, but one aspect is

0:04making a decent amount of viewers shake

0:06their heads. It all has to do with a

0:08scene involving Jean Grey. At one point,

0:10we see her hopping from person to

0:12person, temporarily controlling their

0:14bodies and talking to Peter. The last

0:16unsuspecting person she lands in is an

0:18elderly gentleman who she ultimately

0:20leads into the street to get hit by a

0:22truck, seemingly to death. Yikes. Also

0:26disturbing is the fact that Peter

0:27doesn't even think to check on the guy

0:29after it happens. [music] He just goes

0:31about his Spider-Man business and that's

0:33that.

0:34>> Hey, can we do this one at a time,

0:35please?

0:36>> Now, you can chalk that one up to Peter

0:39being all out of sorts thanks to the

0:40mutating DNA thing he has going on, but

0:43even still, his lack of reaction makes

0:45the moment all the more jarring. On the

0:47topic of Jean, her appearance in Brand

0:49New Day is obviously the beginning of

0:51her arc in the ongoing MCU. One that

0:53will directly connect to the standalone

0:55X-Men film that's in the works. [music]

0:57Anyone who knows her character is well

0:59aware of the whole Dark Phoenix arc,

1:01where we see her become a pretty big

1:03problem, but this presumably won't be

1:05happening for a while and obviously

1:07involves some outside influences on her

1:08character. So, why are they already

1:11portraying her as someone who doesn't

1:12seem to care whatsoever about causing

1:14lethal amounts of collateral damage?

1:15[music]

1:17It's understandable that she's confused

1:18and enraged by the death of her sister,

1:20but that doesn't give her carte blanche

1:22to kill innocent [music] people, no?

1:23While these are all good questions, some

1:25fans have come to her defense. In one

1:28particular Reddit thread where debate on

1:29the topic's been simmering, one poster

1:31made this point. This is a Jean Grey

1:34without the guidance of Charles Xavier.

1:36Not only does she not have the pacifist

1:38morals [music] of Xavier's teachings,

1:40but she also doesn't have the full

1:41understanding and control of her

1:43abilities that his teachings provide.

1:45She's a young woman whose sister and

1:47only remaining family member has been

1:49taken from her and then she finds out

1:51she's been murdered. Regular lives don't

1:53really mean much to her at this point.

1:55Numerous others agreed with [music] one

1:57fan pointing out that unintended

1:58collateral damage is just the way things

2:00go for X-Men. Before they learn to

2:02control their powers, something as

2:04simple as raging hormones can seriously

2:06harm or even kill someone. Of course,

2:09Jean's actions in this particular scene

2:11are much more intentional, but the point

2:13is still relevant. Another Redditor

2:15noted that while the scene definitely

2:17rubbed them the wrong way at first,

2:18>> [music]

2:18>> the subtle genius of it lies in how it

2:20sets things up for future X-Men

2:22installments. They wrote in part, "Jean

2:25making moral mistakes and basically

2:26doing evil was, I see now, [music] a

2:28truly excellent way to introduce the

2:30concept of the X-Men. An omega-level

2:33mutant without a moral compass should be

2:34terrifying." They went on to say, "The

2:37MCU version will be so much better if

2:39they can really push shades of gray and

2:40humanity, rather than the normal good

2:42mutants versus bad mutants [music] that

2:44the older original X-Men comics and the

2:46movies traditionally have been." The

2:48hunger for this sort of subtlety in the

2:49X-Men realm is definitely out there. The

2:51biggest indicator in recent years is the

2:53success of 2017's Logan.

2:56>> I don't know what Charles put in your

2:58head,

2:58>> [clears throat]

2:58>> but I am not whatever it is you think I

3:00am, okay?

3:02>> Watching Logan wrestle with his demons

3:03and overall legacy before perishing for

3:05real was extremely affecting. The movie

3:08was even nominated for Best Adapted

3:10Screenplay at the 90th Academy Awards.

3:12Definitely not a typical accolade when

3:14it comes to superhero flicks. Seeing

3:16this sort of emotional depth explored

3:18through other X-Men characters is an

3:20enticing concept. [music] We just hope

3:22the creative team knew what they were

3:23doing when they made Jean make such a

3:25shocking move. [music]
