greenygalI'm going to respond to the movie properly later (possibly after going to see it again :) because I loved it so much, way more than I was really expecting to, and I do want to say things about it. But I do have one very heartfelt reaction...
JeanandScottJeanandScottJeanandScott! Jean and Scott are alive and together and THEY'RE NOT DEAD ANYMORE! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Hearts and squee and joy forever!
I mean, everything after Logan woke up made me enormously happy, especially that glimpse of Rogue, but Jean and Scott are what really made my heart sing. X3 is now officially, canonically fixed. And TPTB resisted the urge to hook up Jean and Logan, which I was seriously concerned about for those five seconds (especially after the Jean visions in The Wolverine); no, it's Jean/Scott all the way, and Logan doesn't even care. I mean, I expect he may feel some rue for the things that might have been later on, but right in the moment he's just glad to see Scott, oh my heart. And Scott just rolls his eyes and is all "yeah, right," and I love that too, because to him this is just their day-to-day lives, Scott and Jean and Logan and the school, and that is the best, that they all have that now, this bright happy life. *sigh of deep and heartfelt contentment*
