All this conspiracy-like rhetoric coming from that loon on FB is just baffling to me. What is he trying to prove... Is he wanting to expose JB as a liar? I don't get his angle, here. He spends all this energy to prove that there can be discrepancies when creative teams try to recall events in future interviews and discussions? Yeah... you can do that with any collaborative efforts. Doesn't mean there's some grande scheme take took place. And plots and stories evolve all the time from the initial conception.

It's so bizarre... this guy's fixation on such a level.

I've read many, many interviews with JB and the other people involved, including some of the interviews this guy quotes from, and I never thought anyone was trying to cover up anything.

As for the so-called "big reveal"... what a nothing burger!

I think? Haha I don't know! 

I asked if he was saying the whole Shooter thing of lobotomising Jean was false & he said no, but there was a plan to kill her before that. The original plan was to kill Jean he says.

So, yes, his big revelation is that Jean was always meant to die - @ the end of the battle between Charles & Jean. He says that without the words, what was drawn was the Phoenix force dissipating & then Jean dissipates after that. But she had not gone & destroyed a star or planet, so there was no real justification for her to die.

But that big ‘reveal’, he’s been talking about, or @ least mentioning, for days if not weeks. So it’s kind of a damp squib.

So, I guess it’s this:

Originally Jean was to die, but with no justification

Changed to Jean destroys a star in a written plot, along with reduction to child status

JB adds a populated planet, still with child status

Shooter says lobotomise & torture

JB says kill her

So I guess he’s saying the end result just went full circle.

But you know what? Stories go through drafts. Changes are made.

This isn’t as big as I think he thinks it is, & nor is it worth this weeks of daily posts.

But then I guess we keep talking about it & legitimising it, so feeding the end result he wants.

I’m going to stop now

Here's an example of just how busy JB was in those days, 3 books a month, I think there was little time to wait for written plots posted thru the snail-mail of the day.

I have a hand-written plot and page-count notes for X-Men 131-136 in the sketch-book I have, which I can scan & post if JB is okay with that.
