It's very cool how clear it is, visually, that this is the first time the real Jean is inhabited by Phoenix. Of course the cop and Jean's mom looked out of place in the Phoenix uniform. But now even Jean looks "wrong".
An idea popped into my head almost instantly - although I could be way off beam - which would mean the thing that didn't seem to fit quite right actually fits perfectly...
Either way, it's going to be a long wait till Monday!
This Jean fan is pleased (at least for the moment). Can see Scott’s awkwardness even through the visor (and who could blame him? Jean as Phoenix didn’t go well at all the last time…)
This joining is definitely looking different. Hair, attitude, and posture at least artistically seem new for Phoenix. Very intriguing…
Though I feel bad for Elaine, as a reader I like how Phoenix’s casual disdain (for most people) is being expressed here. Unceremoniously discarded… yikes…
Agreed on the attitude and posture. If my thoughts on this are correct, JB seems to have been seeding this more "playful" version of Phoenix a lot longer than I thought. I think there's a great payoff coming...
Gotta say, it's most interesting--and gratifying--to see some of you playing around in your heads with what I am up to. Once again, I was concerned that it would be immediately obvious.
And as to how long I've been setting this up--well, basically since those innocent looking sparkles appeared in the woods following the Imperial Guard's departure.
