For those who need a reminder the episode is about Jean saying she’s treated as someone who needs to be protected because she can’t handle herself because she’s a girl so she forms a girl only group to fight crime.

The problem is that this idea that the women of the show are treated differently isn’t true.

Jean has been given leadership roles and is treated as a member of the team as capable as any other such as Scott or Kurt if not more so and she’s been treated with respect in pretty much every episode.
Other members such as Rogue or Kitty have also never been treated differently because of their gender.

Jean complains that Scott is sexist but throughout the whole show he’s treated her and every other girl such a Kitty or Rogue as an equal.

Also Storm is a teacher and is treated with the same authority as Wolverine or Beast so the women on the show have never been treated as lesser be they adults or teens.

Something else that bothers me is that the girls engage in rather immoral behaviour and it’s treated for laughs such as when Tabitha invades Toad’s privacy, shaving Blob’s hair and stealing Lance’s car. If the roles were reversed the boys would be treated as the bad guys for this and rightly so.

The girls have never been treated as being weaker because of their gender on the show and this episode shows them not only complaining about a fictional problem but also as criminals.

Something else that annoyed me is that Jean got angry at Scott for saving her and Amara from a boulder even though he did that because they needed help not because Scott thinks they can never handle themselves.

So basically im helping code a X-Men Evolution x Dc dating sim

Cast is currently being decided and what not

But if anyone has any ideas for quest and stuff feel free to drop some ideas either narrative or otherwise

Im just idea scouting since I trust the super fans of the show to have much better ideas than I do

I like how X-Men Evolution did not make Jean Grey weak and have her faint all the time.

So I’m rewatching the series now and am currently on this episode. Throughout the beginning of the episode, we see Rogue struggling to control her powers; all of the memories and abilities of those she’d previously touched continue surfacing and she struggles to control it.

A bit later, we see Irene/Destiny and Mystique speaking in a car. Irene essentially tells Mystique that Rogue’s destiny (as foretold by Irene’s abilities) may not come to pass as they had hoped because she may not live long enough to see it through. Aka she may die from the overload and stress of her powers running out of control. Mystique is very obviously concerned, if not out of genuine care for Rogue then at least out of self-interest given that their plans for Rogue would be impossible if she were to die.

But Mystique’s response or “solution” to all this is to once again appear as Risty and to encourage Rogue to go out to a huge concert with thousands of people around that will constantly be bumping into or brushing against her… WHY? You might think that Mystique perhaps wanted Rogue to go wild and take out the X-Men present at the concert and maybe even humans there as well, but as soon as Rogue’s powers start getting out of control, she shows genuine concern. So what was the actual thought process behind a mastermind schemer such as Mystique doing something so obviously dumb?

I apologize if this has been asked and answered before— I searched and read previous posts in the sub about the topic but didn’t find any answers or replies
